344. God speaks of things that are to be done, and yet to come, as if they were already come and done. Many Prophesies of things to be, run in the Present Tense, as if they were in being. Babylon is fallen, it shall as certainly fall, as if it were fallen: by hope we are saved; we ⟨p. 156⟩are as safe as if we were saved, and are kept safe that we may be saved. He that believes not, is condemned already; for he shall be as surely condemned, as if he were already in Hell. Them whom he predestinated, he called, justified, and glorified; they shall be as surely called, justified, and glorified, as if 'twere done.

344. All the glory of the world hath a stain, and all the beauty a spot; there is nothing that is all desires, altogether lovely but Christ Jesus.
He is, but time denies to tell you what, Sum all perfection up, and he is that.
