Christ's certain and sudden appearance to judgment. By Thomas Vincent, sometime Minister of Maudlins…

2. If you do sincerely desire the coming of Christ into your hearts in regard of his Spirit and grace it is a sign you have sincere desires after his coming in glory; when grace will arrive to its perfection; Can you understandingly and heartily […] Thy: Kingdom come; I mean, that Christ's Kingdom of Grace should be erected in your hearts: and are sincerely desirous to have all things within you brought into subjection and obedience thereunto? Do you sincerely and earnestly desire the presence of Christ and the breathings of his Spirit upon your hearts in his Ordinances? it is a sign that there are at the least true radical desires in you after his second appearance, though by ⟨p. 210⟩reason of doubts and fears they may not be so express.
