that they shall come to Christ, for if he had spoken of his own person, as they would have it, likely he would not have spoken in the Third person, having before spoken in the first, I will shake, I will move, and so after in that as follows, and I will fill this house with glory, when his glory after his death should be published, which was done when in the Acts, by the preaching ⟨p. 119⟩of the Apostles his glory was spread far and near, and so he became glorious who in his passion had bin infamous, and therefore the Apostle, 2 Cor. 3. often repeats that the ministry of the gospel was glorious, because it did publish the glory of him, now this being done, first at Jerusalem, Luke 24. and the Apostles abiding in the Temple, Acts. the 1. and when they were arrested, Act. 45.
