First, though the Doctrine of Christs coming again be full of comfort, yet take this caution, that you are to look on the Doctrine of Christs coming to judgement as a Doctrine to teach you duty, as well ⟨p. 61⟩as to give you comfort, it is a great abuse of your privileges when you make any Gospel point to be an inlet of comfort, when you do not make that very comfort to be a spur to duties, and the Scripture putteth you upon this, 1 Cor. 1.7. So that ye come behind in no gift, waiting for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. 2 Thess. 2.1. Now we beseech you Brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him. He presseth them to duty on this Doctrine by the coming of Jesus Christ. Now to speak distinctly to this caution, there are duties that the Doctrine of Christs coming is subservient and serviceable unto.
