The mystical match between Christ and his churchThe mysticall match between Christ and his church

My beloved, it is a point worth the considering, therefore you shall see a ground for it, 2 Cor. 6. 2. when the Apostle had exhorted them ¹there, Not to take the Grace of God in vain, saith he, This is the accepted time, this is the day of salvation, implying, that all time is not the accepted time, for then there needed no distinction; but when he saith, This is the accepted time, there is a secret intimation, that when salvation is offering for ought thou knowest, this is so the accepted time, as that when that is past, there is no more opportunity. So in Hebr. 3. When it is called to day, that is, when the offer is making, that is the ²time.
