2. That our happiness shall be so discovered that our Enemies, and those that scorned and scoffed at us here, shall be ashamed and confounded at the sight of it: It shall then appear not only to our selves, but to all the World too, that it was not, as they thought, in vain to serve God, and unprofitable to pray to him: Christ's second appearance shall fill his Enemies with horrid con: fusion, Rev. 1. 7. They scorned him here, and he was made a reproach, but then they shall tremble and dread, his glorious presence shall drive them to seek shelter from him, of Rocks and Mountains, Rev. 6. 20, 21. And when we shall appear with him in Glory, then they that said the Saints were unhappy men, shall see and confess that they are glorious: Then Men shall say, Verily there is a reward for the Righteous, Verily he is a God that Judgeth in the Earth, Psal. 58. 11. With this thought the Church in the greatest distress comforts herself, and checks the pride of her Enemies, Mic. 7. 8, 9, 10.
