Christ's certain and sudden appearance to judgment

The Kings of the Earth, and great Potentates will be angry when they are dis-throned; and the wicked of the Earth will be troubled, when the Lord Jesus shall come down from Heaven to call ⟨p. 8⟩them to Judgment: If all the Powers of wicked Men and Devils too, who are greater in power than Men, could, they would make head, and resist the Lord Jesus Christ, and pull him from his Throne, and put him to death, as the Jews did at his first appearance; if they had but any hopes, of making their party good against him, how would they call their forces, and gather their Armies, and wage War with this great King; especially when all the wicked shall be raised up, and the ancient Rebels, the Giants of the old World, shall come forth of their dust, and the Prison of Hell, where some of them have been tormented by him many years? O how would they combine their strength, and so many millions of them together, rush upon him with rage and violence; and endeavour to avenge themselves upon him, at least defend themselves against him, when he comes to torment them? but Christ will come with so great power, that he will be able to deal with the whole wicked world of men together, when they are raised and united in one body, and have obtained more strength of body, and are filled with more rage and spite of mind than here they had, and are out of all hopes of making any peace with him, and have the whole flock of all the Devils in Hell to join in to their company; I say Christ will come with sufficiency of strength to bind them all in Chains, and so to hold them all down that they shall not be able to make the least resistance; he that hath power to raise the wicked from the dead, will have power to keep all his Enemies from Rebellion, he will come with Power.
