The sixth was from Christs ascension into Heaven,1 to his second coming unto judgement. This is the day of the clear and full revelation of all the glorious mysteries that were hidden from the beginning of the world till then. This is the day wherein all the forementioned new things, and better things were conferred upon the Christian Church. In this day, as better things shall not be given, so better things cannot be expected while the world lasteth.2 This is the day whereof we may say, This is the day which the Lord hath made: we will rejoice and be glad in it.
