not_o meddle_v with_o these_o and_o thus_o according_a to_o my_o poor_a measure_n i_o have_v labour_v to_o lay_v down_o the_o ground_n from_o scripture_n why_o christ_n can_v come_v to_o reign_v personal_o upon_o the_o earth_n a_o thousand_o year_n and_o have_v vindicate_v those_o scripture_n that_o seem_v to_o patronize_v that_o opinion_n use_v be_v it_o so_o that_o the_o scripture_n do_v not_o determine_v of_o any_o come_n of_o christ_n out_o of_o heaven_n till_o his_o last_o and_o great_a come_n to_o judge_v the_o world_n o_o than_o labour_n to_o make_v it_o your_o work_n to_o have_v jesus_n christ_n as_o king_n to_o reign_v in_o your_o heart_n by_o mortification_n to_o rule_v in_o thy_o heart_n by_o his_o spirit_n to_o mortify_v thy_o headstrong_a lust_n that_o be_v in_o thou_o second_o see_v there_o be_v no_o christ_n come_v as_o king_n in_o this_o world_n why_o then_o labour_n to_o have_v christ_n to_o reign_v in_o his_o church_n by_o a_o well-ordered_a discipline_n that_o the_o government_n of_o christ_n may_v be_v establish_v in_o the_o place_n where_o you_o dwell_v three_o see_v there_o be_v no_o christ_n come_v as_o king_n in_o this_o world_n then_o do_v not_o

christ_n shall_v come_v to_o reign_v upon_o the_o earth_n which_o the_o scripture_n no_o way_n speak_v of_o then_o certain_o the_o saint_n of_o these_o time_n they_o do_v make_v but_o a_o bad_a

they_o do_v upon_o the_o earth_n this_o be_v but_o a_o bad_a preparation_n and_o but_o poor_a encouragement_n to_o jesus_n christ_n to_o come_v and_o reign_v among_o such_o saint_n as_o these_o be_v which_o indeed_o be_v a_o scandal_n to_o saint_n a_o scandal_n to_o religion_n and_o will_v be_v a_o scandal_n to_o that_o thousand_o year_n of_o christ_n if_o he_o shall_v come_v to_o reign_v but_o christ_n will_v have_v better_a saint_n than_o these_o be_v to_o reign_v with_o he_o in_o treat_v of_o the_o doctrine_n of_o christ_n come_n again_o the_o other_o quere_z be_v this_o how_o or_o after_o what_o manner_n shall_v this_o come_n of_o christ_n be_v but_o i_o will_v come_v again_o now_o in_o the_o resolve_v of_o this_o question_n i_o shall_v confine_v my_o answer_n to_o these_o six_o particular_n first_o he_o shall_v come_v certain_o second_o he_o shall_v come_v personal_o three_o he_o shall_v come_v visible_o four_o he_o shall_v come_v glorious_o five_o he_o shall_v come_v terrible_o and_o sixth_o he_o shall_v come_v unexpected_o these_o way_n the_o scripture_n do_v furnish_v you_o with_o several_a hint_n touch_v his_o come_n first_o the_o lord_n jesus_n shall_v come_v certain_o christ_n come_n be_v not_o to_o be_v number_v among_o poetical_a fiction_n or_o with_o the_o delusion_n of_o mahomet_n but_o the_o certainty_n of_o christ_n come_n again_o it_o be_v build_v on_o these_o three_o foundation_n first_o it_o be_v build_v on_o the_o immutability_n of_o god_n decree_n act_v 17.31_o because_o he_o have_v appoint_v a_o day_n in_o the_o which_o he_o will_v judge_v the_o world_n in_o righteousness_n by_o that_o man_n who_o he_o have_v ordain_v whereof_o he_o have_v give_v assurance_n unto_o all_o man_n in_o that_o he_o have_v raise_v he_o from_o the_o dead_a the_o immutability_n of_o god_n decree_n do_v prove_v the_o certainty_n of_o christ_n come_n god_n have_v appoint_v a_o day_n in_o which_o he_o will_v judge_v the_o world_n second_o the_o certainty_n do_v stand_v upon_o the_o infallibility_n of_o christ_n promise_n mat._n 26.64_o jesus_n say_v unto_o he_o thou_o have_v say_v nevertheless_o i_o say_v unto_o you_o hereafter_o shall_v you_o see_v the_o son_n of_o man_n sit_v on_o the_o right_a hand_n of_o power_n and_o come_v in_o the_o cloud_n of_o heaven_n there_o be_v christ_n promise_n to_o which_o three_o of_o the_o evangelist_n do_v concur_v three_o the_o certainty_n of_o his_o come_n it_o be_v ground_v upon_o the_o impartiality_n of_o his_o justice_n here_o every_o man_n have_v not_o right_a and_o in_o solomon_n phrase_n a_o just_a man_n perish_v in_o his_o uprightness_n and_o a_o wicked_a man_n prolong_v his_o day_n in_o wickedness_n therefore_o to_o show_v god_n impartiality_n there_o must_v be_v a_o come_n of_o the_o son_n of_o man_n to_o judge_v the_o world_n righteous_o i_o mean_v this_o because_o the_o doctrine_n of_o christ_n come_n be_v impugn_a by_o atheist_n therefore_o you_o read_v what_o peter_n tell_v you_o 2_o peter_z 3.3_o 4._o know_v this_o first_o that_o there_o shall_v come_v in_o the_o last_o day_n scoffer_n walk_v after_o their_o own_o lust_n and_o say_v where_o be_v the_o promise_n of_o his_o come_n for_o since_o the_o father_n fall_v asleep_a all_o thing_n continue_v as_o they_o be_v from_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o creation_n and_o we_o read_v of_o the_o man_n of_o athens_n they_o question_v this_o and_o will_v not_o believe_v this_o of_o christ_n come_v to_o judge_v the_o world_n act_v 17.32_o and_o when_o they_o hear_v of_o the_o resurrection_n of_o the_o dead_a some_o mock_v and_o other_o say_v we_o will_v hear_v thou_o again_o of_o this_o matter_n why_o of_o old_a time_n in_o the_o time_n of_o jesus_n christ_n or_o soon_o after_o man_n do_v mock_v at_o this_o doctrine_n that_o the_o
dead_a shall_v rise_v and_o christ_n shall_v come_v to_o judge_v both_o the_o quick_a and_o the_o dead_a herein_o gerrard_n reckon_v up_o abundance_n of_o sect_n as_o the_o floriani_n the_o dociani_n and_o many_o other_o indeed_o there_o be_v but_o one_o scripture_n that_o carry_v a_o hesitancy_n in_o these_o atheist_n to_o deny_v the_o come_n of_o christ_n to_o judgement_n john_n 8.15_o you_o judge_v after_o the_o flesh_n i_o judge_v no_o man._n but_o beloved_n to_o this_o text_n that_o they_o make_v use_v of_o to_o shake_v this_o great_a pillar_n of_o our_o hope_n the_o come_n of_o christ_n again_o take_v these_o two_o answer_n when_o christ_n say_v i_o judge_v no_o man_n that_o be_v i_o judge_v no_o man_n with_o a_o rash_a and_o heady_a judgement_n as_o you_o judge_v man_n that_o be_v not_o of_o your_o opinion_n you_o judge_v thing_n rash_o and_o inconsiderat_o but_o i_o judge_v no_o man_n as_o you_o do_v so_o austin_n in_o his_o 36_o tract_n on_o john_n give_v it_o to_o be_v the_o sense_n of_o the_o place_n it_o do_v not_o exclude_v christ_n from_o judge_v the_o world_n at_o the_o last_o day_n but_o not_o judge_v of_o man_n as_o the_o pharisee_n to_o wit_n rash_o and_o inconsiderate_o second_o christ_n do_v here_o speak_v what_o be_v not_o the_o end_n of_o his_o come_n in_o the_o flesh_n but_o the_o end_n of_o his_o come_n be_v to_o judge_v all_o man_n but_o i_o judge_v no_o man_n that_o be_v it_o be_v not_o the_o intent_n or_o the_o end_n of_o my_o first_o come_v in_o the_o flesh_n to_o judge_v man_n but_o i_o refer_v it_o to_o the_o last_o come_v to_o judge_v all_o man_n john_n 1_o when_o god_n send_v his_o son_n to_o be_v bear_v of_o a_o virgin_n he_o do_v not_o send_v he_o then_o to_o judge_v the_o world_n he_o reserve_v that_o till_o his_o last_o come_n john_n 12.47_o 48._o and_o if_o any_o man_n hear_v my_o word_n and_o believe_v not_o i_o judge_v he_o not_o for_o i_o come_v not_o to_o judge_v the_o world_n but_o to_o save_v the_o world_n he_o that_o reject_v i_o and_o receive_v not_o my_o word_n have_v one_o that_o judge_v he_o the_o word_n that_o i_o have_v speak_v the_o same_o shall_v judge_v he_o in_o the_o last_o day_n the_o end_n of_o my_o first_o come_n be_v not_o to_o judge_v it_o be_v to_o be_v judge_v and_o to_o be_v condemn_v by_o pontius_n pilate_n and_o â—o_o die_v the_o curse_a death_n and_o that_o be_v the_o end_n of_o christ_n first_o come_v he_o shall_v come_v certain_o second_o christ_n shall_v not_o only_o come_v certain_o but_o he_o shall_v come_v personal_o it_o be_v the_o great_a mistake_n of_o origen_n though_o he_o hold_v for_o the_o come_n of_o christ_n again_o but_o he_o plead_v chief_o for_o the_o come_n of_o christ_n in_o spirit_n therefore_o that_o text_n that_o be_v say_v you_o shall_v see_v the_o son_n of_o man_n come_v in_o the_o cloud_n of_o heaven_n but_o origen_n understand_v by_o the_o cloud_n to_o be_v the_o saint_n because_o it_o be_v mention_v in_o scripture_n that_o the_o believer_n be_v call_v a_o cloud_n of_o witness_n now_o this_o be_v to_o pervert_v the_o whole_a letter_n of_o this_o bible_n and_o turn_v all_o the_o scripture_n into_o a_o allegory_n and_o metaphysical_a sense_n now_o to_o the_o opposition_n of_o that_o i_o lay_v down_o a_o second_o property_n that_o christ_n come_n shall_v be_v a_o personal_a come_n out_o of_o heaven_n but_o the_o scripture_n do_v not_o speak_v of_o christ_n come_v on_o the_o earth_n but_o no_o further_a than_o the_o air_n christ_n in_o his_o body_n shall_v come_v personal_o out_o of_o heaven_n now_o to_o
