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

2. Rejoice, Believers Rejoice! Christ will certainly appear: if there were any grounds to doubt the ••uth of this thing, you would have reason to grieve; but when the thing is so certain, when God hath revealed it in his Word so clearly, when the Lord hath promised it to his people so faithfully, and given his People hopes and expectations of it, he will not disappoint them: You have reason to rejoice, there is nothing more certain, as hath been proved, that the second appearance of the Lord Jesus Christ at the last day.

2. Rejoyce, Believers Rejoyce! Christ will certainly appear: if there were any grounds to doubt the ••uth of this thing, you would have reason to grieve; but when the thing is so certain, when God hath revealed it in his Word so clearly, when the Lord hath promised it to his people so faithfully, and given his People hopes and expectations of it, he will not disappoint them: You have reason to rejoyce, there is nothing more certain, as hath been proved, that the second appearance of the Lord Jesus Christ at the last day.

3. Rejoice Believers, Rejoice! Christ will quickly appear; the coming of the Lord draweth nigh; there is a time se•, though you cannot know it, because God hath locked […] this secret in his own bosom; yet you may know […] […] cannot now be far off; the Lord will not ••arry much ⟨p. 212⟩longer in Heaven before he come down to Judgment! Look up then, and li••t up your heads with joy, for the day of your Redemption draweth nigh, Luke •1. 28. You will not long groan under the bondage and burden of corruption; You will not long mourn and complain under the persecutions of cruel Enemies; You will not long be assaulted and buffeted with the temptations of Satan; You will no long live in the dark Prison of the world, Christ will quickly be here and open the Prison-doors, and deliver you into the glorious liberty of the Children of God.
