But I take the special design of Christ to be, an intimation to his Disciples of his (t)ascension. Some of you saith Christ shall see me ascend into the heaven of heavens, there to sit reigning till my enemies be made my foot-stool. Now this is expressed by saying, they should see the kingdom of God come with great power, or as Matthew hath it, the Son of man coming in his Skingdom. Wherefore it is most certain that Christ went to receive ⟨p. 132⟩a most glorious kingdom, at his ascension into heaven, therefore at his return from heaven the glory of the kingdom of God will appear.

Obj. 3. Doth not Christ say, my kingdom is not of this world, John 18.36. how then is it true that Christ shall have such a glorious kingdom upon earth as that which hath been spoken of?
