shall be quenched But I have in some measure already discovered all those acts of his grace and love till his second coming and therefore I begin there 1. Christ will come is not this love as his departure was a rich testimony of his love John 14.18 It is expedient for you that I go away so is his returning I will not leave you comfortless I will come unto you Oh how can we think of Christ's returning and not meditate on the greatness of his love might he not send his Angels but he must come himself is it not state and majesty enough to have the Angels come for us but that he himself must come with his Angels to meet us more than half the way what King on Earth would adopt a beggar and after his adoption would himself go in person to fetch him from the dunghil to his Throne we are filthy lazars from the crown of our heads to the soles of our feet we are full of sores and yet the King of Heaven puts on his best attire and comes in person with all his retinue of glory to fetch us from our graves to his own Court of Heaven Oh the loves of Christ in this one act he will come again he is but gon for a while but he will come again in his own person 2. Christ will welcome all his Saints into his presence and is not this love after he is come down from Heaven he stays for them a while in the Clouds and commanding his Angels to bring them thither anon they come and oh how his heart springs within him at their coming what throbs and pangs of love are in his heart at the first view of them as they draw near and fall down at his feet and worship him so he draws near and falls upon their necks and welcomes them Methinks I hear him say Come blessed souls you are my purchase for whom I Covenanted with my Father from eternity O you are dearly welcome to your Lord in that now I have you in my arms I feel the fruit of my death the acceptation of my Sacrifice the return of my prayers for this I was born and dyed for this I rose again and ascended into Heaven for this I have interceded a Priest in Heaven these many years and now I have the end and design of all my actings and sufferings for you how is my joy fulled look as at the meeting of two lovers there is great joy especially if the distance hath been great and the desires of enjoying one another vehement so is the meeting of Christ with his Saints the joy is so great that it runs over and wets the fair brows and beauteous locks of Cherubims and Seraphims and all the Angels have a part of this banquet at this day 3. Christ will sentence his Saints for eternal life here is love indeed every word of the sentence is full of love it contains the reward of his Saints a reward beyond their work and beyond their wages and beyond the promise and beyond their thoughts and beyond their understanding it is a participation of the joyes of God and of the inheritance of the Judge himself Come enter into your Masters joy inherit the Kingdom Oh but if all the Saints have only one Kingdom where is my room fear not O my soul thou shalt have room enough though but one Kingdom yet all the Inhabitants there are Kings whole Heaven is such a Kingdom as is intirely and fully injoyed by one glorified Saint all and every one hath the whole Kingdom at his own will every one is filled with God as if there were no fellows there to share â—ith him Oh that I may come under this blessed sentence never was more love expressed in words than Christ expresseth in this sentence Come ye blessed c. 4. Christ will take up all his Saints with him into glory where he will present them to his Father and then be their all in all to all eternity This is the heigâ—t of Christ's love this is the immediate love that comes out from the precious heart and bowels of Jesus Christ this is that Zenith of love when sensibly and feelingly it burns at hottest it is true that Christ's love breaks out in all those precedaneous acts we have already spoken Oh but what loves will he cast out from himself in glory the more excellent the Soyl is and the nearer the Sun is the more of Summer and the more of day the more delicious must be the Apples the Pomgranates the Roses the Lillies that grow there surely Christ in glory is a blessed soyl Roses and Lillies and Apples of love that are eternally Summer-green and sweet grow out of him the honey of Heaven is more than honey the honey of love that is pure and unmixt and glorious in Christ must needs be incomparable I cannot say but that Christ's love like himself is the same yesterday and to day and for ever there is no intension 1 John 4.8 or remission of his love as in it self for God is love he is essentially love and therefore admits of no degrees yet in respect of the sense or manifestation of this love of Christ there must needs be a difference thus if he loved his spouse on earth how much more will he love her when his Bride in Heaven If he loves us while sinners and enemies to his holiness how much more will he love us when we are sons and perfected Saints in glory he that could spread his arms and open his heart on the Cross will he not then open arms and heart and all to them that reign with him in his Kingdom if in this life such is loves puissance that we usually say of Christ Though the head be in heaven yet he hath left his heart on earth with sinners what shall we say of Christ in glory where love like the Sun ever stands in the Zenith Deut. 33.27 where the eternal God is the souls everlastiâ—g refuge and underneath are his everlasting arms 5. And if Christ love thus how should we love again for such a love Lord what a sum of love are we indebted to thee is it possible that ever we should pay the debt can we love as high as deep as broad as long as love it self or as Christ himself no no all we can do is but to love a little and Oh that in the consideration of his love we could love a little in sincerity Oh that we were but able feelingly to say Why Lord I love thee I feel I love thee even as I feel I love my friend or as I feel I love my self Such arguments of love have been laid before us as that now I know no more we have seen whole Christ cap-a-pe we have heard of the loves of Christ from eternity to eternity we have had a view of the everlasting Gospel of Jesus Christ wherein his love is represented to us as hot as death or as
of his wrath is come who shall be able to stand And yet despair not cheer up O my soul for in the very midst of wrath God is pleased to remember Mercy even now when all the world should have been damned a Jesus is proclaimed and promised and he it is that must die according to the Commination for he is our surety and he it is that by Death must overcome Death and the Devil it shall bruise thy Head said God to Satan q. d. Come Satan thou hast taken Captive ten thousands of souls Adam and Eve are now ensnared and in their loynes all the men and women that ever shall be from this beginning of the world to the end thereof now is thy day of triumph now thou keepest Holy-day in Hell but thou shalt not carry it thus I foresaw from all Eternity what thou hast done I knew thou wouldest dig a hole through the comely and beautiful frame of the Creation but I have decreed of old a Counter-work out of the seed of the woman shall spring a Branch and he shall bruise thy head he shall break thy Power he shall tread thy Dominion under foot he shall lead thy Captivity Captive he shall take away sin he shall point out to Men and Angels the glory of heaven and a new world of free grace In this promise O my soul is foulded and wrapped up thy hope thy heaven thy salvation and therefore consider of it turn it upside down look on all sides of it view it over and over there is a Jesus in it it is a field that contains in the bowels of it a precious treasure there is in it a Saviour a Redeemer a Deliverer from sin death and hell are not these dainties to feed upon are not these rarities to dwell on in our meditations 2. Consider Jesus in that next promise made to Abraham Gen. 17.7 I will establish thy Covenant between me and thee and thy Seed after thee in their generations for an everlasting Covenant to be a God to thee and to thy Seed after thee in respect of this Covenant Abraham is called the Father of the Faithfull Rom. 4.11 Gal. 3.7 and they which are of the Faith are called the Children of Abraham And O my soul if thou art in Covenant with God surely thou dost by Faith draw it through Abraham to whom this promise was made for if ye be Christ's then are ye Abrahams Seed and heirs according to the promise Consider what a mercy is this Gal. 3 29. that God should enter into a Covenant with thee in the loins of Abraham God made a promise of Christ and inclusively a Covenant of Grace in his comforting Adam but he makes a Covenant expresly under the name of Covenant with Abraham and his seed O muse and be amazed What that the great and glorious God of heaven and earth should be willing to make himself a debtor to us O my soul think of it seriously he is in heaven and thou art on earth he is the Creator and thou art his Creature Ah what art thou or what is thy Fathers house that thou shouldest be raised up hitherto The very Covenant is a wonder as it Relates to God and us what is it but a compact an agreement a tying a binding of God and us When Jehoshaphat and Ahab were in Covenant see how Jehoshaphat expresseth himself I am as thou art my people as thy people 1 King 21.4 my horses as thy horses So it is betwixt God and us If once he gives us the Covenant then his strength is our strength his power is our power his armies are our armies his attributes are our attributes we have interest in all there is an offensive and a defensive Language as I may say betwixt God and us and if we put him in mind of it in all our straits he cannot deny us As it was with the Nations allied to Rome if they fought at any time the Romans were bound in honour to defend them and they did it with as much diligence as they defended their own City of Rome so it is with the people allied to God he is bound in honour to defend his People and he will do it if they implore his aid how else is it possible God should break his Covenant will he not stir up himself to scatter his and our spiritual enemies Certainly he will Thus runs the tenour of his Covenant I will be a God to thee and to thy seed after thee This is the general promise I may call it the Mother-Promise that carries all other Promises in its womb we find a Jesus in this promise consider that it is God in Christ that is held forth to us in this phrase I will be as a God to thee O sweet Here is the greatest promise that ever was made Christ God is more than Grace Pardon Holiness Heaven as the Husband is more excellent than the Marriage-Robe Bracelets Rings the Well and Fountain of Life is of more excellency than the streams Christ Jesus the objective happiness is far above a created and formal Beatitude which issueth from him O my Soul is not this worthy of thy inmost consideration But of this more in the next 3. Consider Jesus in that promise made to Moses and the Israelites I am the Lord thy God who brought thee out of the Land of Egypt out of the House of Bondage Much hath been said to this Promise before as matter of thy Consideration but to contract it consider in the Promise the sufficiency and propriety 1. Here is sufficiency it is a promise of infinite worth an hid treasure a rich possession an overflowing blessing which none can rightly value it is no less than the great and mighty and infinite God if we had a promise of an hundred worlds or often heavens this is more than all heaven indeed is beautiful but God is more beautiful for he is the God of heaven and hence it is that the Saints in heaven are not satisfied without their God it is a sweet expression of Bernard As whatsoever we give unto thee Lord unless we give our selves cannot satisfie thee so whatsoever thou givest unto us Lord unless thou givest thy self it cannot satisfie us and hence it is that as God doth make the Saints his Portion so God is the Portion and Inheritance of his Saints Consider the greatness the goodness the all-sufficiency of this promise I am the Lord thy God! No question but Moses had many other rich promises from God but he could not be satisfied without God himself if thy presence be not with us bring us not hence And no wonder for without God all things are nothing Exod. 33.15 but in the want of all other things God himself is instead of all It is Gods alone Prerogative to be an universal good The things of this world can but help in this or that particular thing as Bread against hunger Drink against thirst
of the paradise of delights who hath thus troubled thee it is my sins O Lord that have so troubled thee my sins were the Thorns that pricked thee the lashes that whipped thee the purple that cloathed thee it is I Lord that am thy tormentor and the very cause of these thy pains 8. Consider Pilate's sentence that Jesus should be Crucified as the Jews required Now they had him in their will and they did to him what seemed them good Follow him from Gabbatha to Golgotha see how they lay the heavy Cross upon his tender shoulders that were so pitifully rent and torn with whips accompany him all the way to the Execution and help to carry his Cross to Mount Calvary And there as if thou hadst been frozen hitherto thaw into tears see him lifted up on that engine of torture the bloody Cross he hangs on nails and as he hangs his own weight becomes his own affliction O see how his arms and legs were racked with voilent pulls his hands and feet boared with nails his whole body torn with stripes and gored with blood And now O my soul run with all thy might into his arms held out at their full length to receive thee Oh weigh the matter because sin entred by the senses therefore the head in which the senses flourish is crowned with searching thorns because the hands and feet are more especially the instruments of sin therefore his hands and feet are nailed to the Cross for satisfaction O marvellous what King is he or of what Countrey that wears a Crown of Thorns what man is he or where lives he whose hands and feet are not only bored but digged into as if they had been digging with Spades in a ditch surely here 's matter for a serious meditation be enlarged O my thoughts and dwell upon it consider it and consider it again 9. Consider the darkness that spread over all the Earth now was the Sun ashamed to shew his brightness considering that the Father of lights was darkned with such disgrace the Heavens discoloured their beauty and are in mourning robes the Lamp of Heaven is immantled with a miraculous Eclipse the Sun in the firmament will simpathize with the Sun of Righteousness it will not appear in glory though it be mid-day because the Lord of Glory is thus disgraced And now hear the voice that comes from the Son of God My God my God why hast thou forsaken me Christ in the Garden tasted the bitter cup of God's fierce wrath but now he drunk the dregs of it he then sipped off the top but now he drunk all off top and bottom and all O but what 's the meaning of this My God my God why hast thou forsaken me Surely 1. This was not a total but a partial dereliction this was not a perpetual but a temporary forsaking of him the Godhead was not took away from the manhood but the union remained still even now when the Manhood was forsaken 2. This was not a forsaking on Christ's part but only on the Father's part the Father forsook Christ but Christ went after him God took away the sense of his love but the Son of God laid hold upon him crying and saying My God my God why hast thou forsaken me 3. This forsaking was not in respect of his being but in respect of the feeling of God's favour love and mercy certainly God loved him still Oh but his sense of comfort was now quite gone so as it never was before In his agony there was some inklings of God's mercy now and then at least there was some star-light some little flash of lightning to cheer him up but now all the sense and feeling of God's love was gone and not so much as any little star-light of the same appeared Christ now took the place of sinners and God the Father shut him out as it were amongst the sinners he drew his mercy out of sight and out of hearing and therefore he cryed out in a kind of wonderment My God my God why hast thou forsaken me After this he speaks but a few words more and he gives up the Ghost He dyes that we might live he is dissolved in himself that we might be united to his Father O my soul see him now if thou canst for weeping his eyes are dim his cheeks are wan his face is pale his head is bowing his heart is panting himself is dying come come and dye with him by a most exact mortification look pale like him with grief and sorrow and trouble for thy sins 10. Consider the piercing of his side with a spear whence came out a stream of blood and water O Fountain of everlasting waters methinks I see the blood running out of his side more freshly than those golden streams which ran out of the Garden of Eden and watered the whole World Consider the taking of his body down by Joseph the burying of it by Joseph and Nicodemus O here 's excellent matter for our meditation O my spirit go with me a little Christ being dead it is pitty but he should have a funeral according to the letter let Joseph and Nicodemus bear his corps let the blessed Virgin go after it sighing and weeping and at every other place looking up to Heaven let Mary Magdalen follow after with a box of precious Ointment in her hand and with her hair hanging ready if need were to wipe his feet again or that in this meditation I may be more spiritual let the Usurer come first with Judas's bag and distribute to the poor as he goes along let the Drunkard follow after with the spunge that was filled with gall and vinegar and check his wanton thirst let the young Gallant or voluptuous man come like his Master with bare foot and with the cown of thorns set also upon his head let the wanton person bear the rods and whips and wiers wherewith Christ was scourged and fright his own flesh let the ambitious man be cladin the purple robe the angry Person in the seamless coat my meaning is let every sinner according to the nature of his sin draw something or other from the passion of Christ to the mortifying of his sin yea let all turn mourners let all bow their heads and be ready to give up the Ghost for the Name of Christ and let not Christ be buried without a Sermon neither and let the Text be this John 10.11 The good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep and in the end of the Sermon whether it be in use or no let the Preacher take occasion to speak a word or two in the praise of Christ let him say with the Spouse that he was the chiefest among ten thousands that he was altogether lovely Cant. 5.10 16. that being God above all Gods he became man beneath all men that when he spake he began ordinarily with verily verily I say unto you that he was an holy man that he never sinned in all his
Paradise Oh what a goodly sight is here In this meditation I may see with John Rev. 21.2 The new Jerusalem coming down from God out of heaven prepared as a Bride adorned for her husband Down comes Christ and down come the Angels and down come the spirits of the just made perfect and as they come along see how they shake the Heavens and dim and dark the very lights of Heaven see what a flood of fire goes before them see how they pass into the cloud where Christ makes a stand and erects a Throne for himself to sit on Sure 't will be a guilded glorious cloud when Christ with all his celestial servants shall sit upon it a mornings cloud guilded with the beams of the Sun is admirably fair and shining but what a shining cloud is that where the Sun of righteousness with all his morning stars do sit and shine here 's enough to dazzle my eyes and to take up my thoughts O my soul think on it 3. Consider Christ's summons of the Elect to come under judgment no sooner in the cloud but He shall send his Angels with a great sound of a Trumpet Mat. 24.31 and they shall gather together his Elect from the four winds from the one end of heaven to another Will not this be a strange sight to see Christ a coming with Trumpets sounding before him causing all the dead to awaken out of their sleeps of death the very sound of this Trumpet was ever in Jerom's ears Arise ye dead and come to Judgment and no question but thy ears shall be filled with the blast thereof the Trumpet shall found that shall bp heard over all the World and then shall the dead arise out of their graves and every Saints soul shall re-enter into his own body by vertue of the resurrection of Christ their Head Can I pass this meditation without some reflection on my self O my soul how joyfully wilt thou greet thy body when thou shalt enliven it again how wilt thou say O my dear Sister whom I left behind me in the dust when I went to Heaven how sweet is thy carcass how comely is thy countenance how do I enter into thee and animate thee and I will never more leave thee thou wast my yoke-fellow in the Lords Labours and my companion in persecution and wrong now shall we enter together into our Masters joy see lift up thy head behold Jesus Christ yonder sitting in the cloud and lo here the Angels waiting on us and coming to take us with the rest of the Saints into the Air to meet our Redeemer there Could I but realize this summons this resurrection this meeting of the soul and body and going with the Angels into the judgment-seat oh how would it work and what work would it make within 4. Consider Christ and the Saints meeting at the judgment day oh how shall the Saints look and stare and gaze at the beauty of Jesus Christ oh how will they break out into admiration at the first view of those glories which never before appeared on this side Heaven is not this he will they say of whom we read so often that he was fairer than the sons of men that he was white and ruddy the chiefest of ten thousands that his countenance was as Lebanon excellent as the Cedars glorious as when the Sun shineth in his strength but was ever the half told us of what now we see and behold O the super-excellent transcendent beauty of this Son of righteousness O the treasures of loveliness in this Jesus Christ never seen before And thus as they admire so they adore now they begin those Hallelujahs that never never shall have end they fall at the feet of Christ and the Lord Christ takes them up with his hands and folds them in his arms oh what mutual reciprocal salutations are these betwixt Christ and his members oh my head and oh my body oh my husband and oh my spouse oh my dear and oh my darling never two lovers met with such heat of love as Christ and his Saints come saith Christ and sit you down here at my right hand and let the world be on my left hand it was otherwise with you in your life-time my gold and my jewels were then cast in the dust you were then cloathed with infamy and the vilest of men were then guilded with honour but now I will set all right now the dust shall be swept away and the jewels of my Kingdom shall be gathered up now the Goats shall be driven into the desart and you who are the Sheep shall be brought into my fold Oh my soul what a meeting is this what a sight will this be to behold the Saints in this condition and thy self amongst them couldst thou but realize this one very passage it were enough to quench thy lust and to kindle a flame of pure love in thy heart to Jesus Christ it is a quickning rouzing rising rejoycing consideration 5. Consider Christ sentencing the Saints for eternal glory then shall the books be opened and all the good works of the Saints shall be revealed and made known and then shall the Judg from his Throne of Majesty in the sight and hearing of all the world pronounce that sentence Come ye blessed of my Father inherite the Kingdom prepared for you from the beginning of the world Mat. 25.34 q. d. Come my Saints come with me into glory come now from labour to rest from disgrace to glory from the jaws of death to the joys of eternal life for my sake ye have been railed on reviled and cursed but now it shall appear to all those cursed Esaus that you are the true Jacobs that shall receive the blessing and blessed shall you be come now and possess with me the inheritance of Heaven where you shall be for love Sons for birth-right heirs for dignity Kings for holiness Priests come you may boldly enter in for my Father hath prepared and kept it for you ever since the first foundation of the World was laid O my soul dost thou not remember when sometimes thou hast been at the feet of Christ in the beauty of holyness and there tookest in those droppings of his spirit which were better to thee than the feasts of Kings dost thou not remember when sometimes thou hast had the very beams of light darted from the face of Jesus Christ when he whispered to thy soul the forgiveness of thy sins saying Fear not thy sins shall not hurt thee I am thy salvation oh what joy was then what meltings movings stirrings leapings of heart were then in thy bosom but was that joy any thing to this or to be compared with this that was a drop but here 's an Ocean here 's fulness of joy oh what leapings of heart what ravishments will be within when thou shalt see thy self in the arms of Christ and shalt receive words of life from the mouth of Christ in the face of
shall thy God rejoyce over thee look how the joy of a Bridgroom is over his Bride upon the wedding-day surely then if ever all is love and joy so is Christ's joy over his Saints at the last day then begins that joy that never never shall have end there shall be no moment of time wherein Christ will not rejoyce over his Saints for ever after 9. It is the day of Christs perfection Christ as Mediator is not fully perfect till all his members be in glory united to him As an head that wants an arm or hand or leg we say is lame so it is a kind of mistical lameness that Christ our head hath not with him all his members the Saints are little pieces of mystical Christ and it shall not be well till Christ gather in his arms and thighs and pull them nearer to himself in glory and is not this desirable to see the Lord Jesus Christ as Head of the Church in his perfection to see the Son of righteousness with every beam united to him O desirable day Hos 2.18 10. It is Christ's Wedding-day or the Marriage day of the Lamb. The Saints are betrothed to Christ when first they believe in Christ that is Christ's word I will betroth thee unto me Cant. 4.10 and thou art my sister my spouse not my Wife thou art not yet married onely contracted here but at that day the marriage of the Lamb will be compleat and then will the voyce be heard Rev. 19.7 Let us be glad and rejoyce and give honour to him for the marriage of the Lamb is come and his Wife hath made her self ready O the joy that Christ and Saints and Angels and all that belong to Heaven will make at this marriage Blessed are they that are called to the Marriage-supper of the Lamb. One of the seven Angels that came to John in visions Rev. 21 9. talked with him saying Come hither and I will shew thee the Bride the Lambs Wife If the espoused Virgin be willing to be married how is it that we cry not Come Lord Jesus come quickly 1 Cor. 5.24 11. It is Christ's day of presenting his Saints unto his Father he delivers up the Kingdom to God even the Father Then shall he take his Bride by the hand and bring her to his house and present her in all state and solemnity to the Father Is not this a desirable day surely Christ rejoyceth and his very heart even springs again to present his Church unto his Father Father here behold my Bride that I have marryed unto my self It is true a Child may sometimes marry such a one as he may be ashamed to think of bringing to his Fathers house but how mean and sinful soever we are of our selves when once we are marryed unto Christ he will not think it any dishonour no not before his Father that he hath such a bride Father will he say lo here all my Saints of all that thou hast given me I have lost none but the children of perdition these are mine dearly bought thou knowest the price O welcome them to glory 12. It is the day of Christ's glory What glorious descriptions have we in scripture of Christs coming to Judgment The Son of man shall come from heaven with power and great glory and the work no sooner done Math. 24.30 but he shall return again into Heaven with power and great glory Not to mention the essential glory of Christ O the glory of Christ as Mediator all the glory that Ahashuerus could put upon his favourites was nothing to this spiritual and heavenly glory which the Father will put upon the Son it is a glory above all the glories that ever were or ever shall be it is an eternal glory not but that Christ shall at last give up his Kingdom to his Father he shall no more discharge the acts of an Advocate or intercessor for us in heaven onely the glory of this shall alwayes continue it shall to all eternity be recorded that he was the Mediator and that he is the Saviour that hath brought us to life and immortality and upon this ground the tongues of all the Saints shall be imployed to all eternity to celebrate this glory This will be their everlasting Song Vnto him that loved us Rev. 1.5 6. and washed us from our sins in his own blood and hath made us Kings and Priests unto God and his Father to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever Amen Now is not this a desirable thing do we believe there is such a thing as Christ's mediatory glory and Christ's essential glory as Christ's humane glory and Christ's divine glory and have we no desires to behold this glory surely Christ himself desired it of God he would have his Saints with him where he is that they might behold his glory and shall not we desire it whom it most concerns O the sweet temper of the spouse when she cryed out Cant. 8.14 Make haste my beloved and be thou like a Roe or to a young Hart upon the mountains of spices Come now and run over these particulars surely every one is motive enough to desire this day it is a day of refreshing a day of restoring a day of manifestation of the sons of God a day of adoption and of the redemption of our bodyes a day of Christs coming of Christ's revealing of Christ's appearing of Christ's joy of Christ's perfection of Christ's Wedding of Christ's presenting of his Saints of Christ's glory what are we not yet in a longing frame the wife of youth that wants her husband for some years and expects that he should return from over Sea-lands she is often on the shore her very heart loves the wind that should bring him home every Ship in view that is but a drawing near the shore is her new joy and new reviving hopes she asks of every passenger O saw you my husband what is he a doing when will he come is he not yet Shipped and ready for a return souls truly related to the Lord Jesus Christ should methinks long no less O what desire should the Spirit and the Bride have to hear when Christ shall say to his Angels Make you ready for the journey let us go down and divide the skies and bow the Heavens I 'le gather my prisoners of hope unto me I cannot want my Rachel and her weeping Children any longer behold I come quickly to judge the Nations Methinks every spouse of Christ should love the quarter of the sky that being rent asunder should yield unto her husband methinks she should love that part of the heavens where Christ puts through his glorious hand and comes riding on the Rain-bow and Clouds to receive her to himself I conclude this with the conclusion of the Bible He that testifieth these things saith surely I come quickly Amen Even so Rev. 22.20 come Lord Jesus SECT IV. Of hoping in Jesus in that
