A Practical Commentary on the Epistle of Jude

2. Love quickeneth desire, 2. Pet. 3. 12, Looking for and hastening the coming of the Lord. see Cant. 8, 14. Rev. 22. 20 An Harlot would have her husband defer his coming, but a chaste spouse thinketh he can never come soon enough, they that go an whoring after the world, neither desire Christs coming nor love his appearing; but the Spirit of the Bride saith come, they that love God look for it, Phil. 3. 20. long for it, 2 Tim 4. 8. they love his appearing, corrupt nature saith depart, Job 22. 14. but grace saith come; the children of God would fain see him of whom they have heard so often, and so much, and of whose sweetness they ⟨p. 524⟩have tasted; they know him by hear-say and by spiritual experience, but they would fain see his person.¹
