These words they note unto you the Event, or Consequent, what shall follow upon Christs coming again, and receiving our bodies unto himself at the last day.

I shall open the words, for there is some difficulty in one Expression, where I am you see it is a word in the present sense, where I am, and though it be a word of the present Tense, it doth not denote thus much that that they should be at Jerusalem with Christ; for Christ was then at Jerusalem▪ but as Grotius saith, that here the word of the present Tense, is to be understood of the suture Tense, that is, where I shall be shortly after I leave this world where I shall be there you shall be, and so he doth bring that Text to prove it. Joh. 7. 34. Ye shall seek me and shall not find me, and where I am, thither ye cannot come. It cannot be taken in the present Tense, for he was then […] Jerusalem, but it is to be understood in the future Tense, where I shall be, I go, but I come again, that where I shall be when I come to my Fathers House in Heaven, I may have all your companies to be personally present with me in Heaven; that is the scope of the word.
