CHAP. I.
The last words of a Dear friend are usually most remarked, and best remembered, especially when they speak great affection: these are the last words of Jesus Christ, the best friend that the children of men ever had; which he sends his Angel from Heaven, after he had been some years in glory with the Father, to speak in his Name unto his Churches upon the earth. v. 16. I Jesus have sent mine Angel to testify these things in the Churches: and of all the things which he testifieth by his Angel, this is the last and the sweetest in the Text, Surely I come quickly. Which words of Promise coming down from Heaven, and expressing so much Love to the Church, are followed with […] Echo, and resound of the Churches earnest desire, Amen. Even so come Lord Jesus, &c.
