14._o behold_v the_o lord_n come_v with_o ten_o thousand_o of_o his_o saint_n and_o john_n he_o mention_n it_o frequent_o six_o time_n in_o this_o chapter_n my_o text_n be_v in_o do_v he_o speak_v

be_v very_o observable_a that_o all_o the_o apostle_n and_o all_o that_o write_v the_o epistle_n do_v speak_v of_o the_o come_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n now_o why_o be_v this_o come_n of_o christ_n insist_v upon_o so_o much_o and_o make_v know_v so_o much_o and_o so_o often_o repeat_v 1_o because_o we_o be_v hard_a to_o believe_v it_o man_n be_v hardly_o induce_v and_o persuade_v to_o believe_v the_o come_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n 2_o pet._n 3.4_o say_v they_o where_o be_v the_o promise_n of_o his_o come_n do_v not_o all_o thing_n abide_v as_o they_o do_v from_o the_o beginning_n they_o can_v not_o believe_v christ_n come_n and_o it_o be_v a_o hard_a thing_n to_o persuade_v man_n and_o settle_v man_n in_o this_o the_o come_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n again_o 2_o if_o man_n be_v persuade_v to_o this_o yet_o they_o be_v wonderful_a apt_a to_o forget_v his_o come_n and_o to_o put_v the_o evil_a day_n far_o of_o matth._n 24.48_o the_o evil_a servant_n say_v in_o his_o heart_n my_o lord_n delay_v his_o come_n he_o will_v not_o come_v in_o my_o day_n so_o the_o wise_a and_o foolish_a virgin_n grow_v secure_a the_o wise_a slumber_v and_o the_o foolish_a sleep_v and_o so_o forget_v the_o come_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n we_o be_v apt_a i_o say_v to_o forget_v and_o to_o put_v it_o off_o 3_o this_o be_v so_o often_o mention_v and_o insist_v upon_o that_o so_o we_o may_v prepare_v for_o it_o matth._n 24.44_o therefore_o be_v you_o also_o ready_a for_o in_o such_o a_o hour_n as_o you_o think_v not_o of_o the_o son_n of_o man_n come_v the_o son_n of_o man_n come_v and_o he_o will_v come_v sudden_o when_o man_n and_o woman_n do_v not_o think_v of_o it_o therefore_o it_o be_v to_o be_v make_v know_v that_o people_n may_v be_v ready_a and_o prepare_v for_o the_o come_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n 4_o last_o this_o be_v make_v know_v and_o so_o much_o insist_v upon_o in_o the_o new_a testament_n because_o it_o be_v a_o ground_n for_o patience_n and_o to_o bear_v up_o the_o spirit_n of_o man_n and_o woman_n against_o the_o cross_n against_o affliction_n against_o reproach_n against_o discouragement_n and_o all_o the_o hard_a measure_n they_o meet_v withal_o here_o in_o the_o world_n heb._n 10.36.37_o for_o you_o have_v need_n of_o patience_n that_o after_o you_o have_v do_v the_o will_n of_o god_n you_o may_v receive_v the_o promise_n they_o have_v endure_v the_o spoil_n of_o their_o good_n and_o great_a affliction_n and_o say_v he_o you_o have_v need_n of_o patience_n for_o yet_o a_o little_a while_n and_o he_o that_o shall_v come_v will_v come_v and_o will_v not_o tarry_v here_o be_v a_o ground_n for_o their_o patience_n christ_n will_v come_v and_o so_o in_o jam._n 5.7_o be_v patient_a therefore_o brethren_n unto_o the_o come_n of_o the_o lord_n behold_v the_o husbandman_n wait_v for_o the_o precious_a fruit_n of_o the_o earth_n and_o have_v long_a patience_n for_o it_o be_v you_o also_o patient_a establish_v your_o heart_n for_o the_o come_n of_o the_o lord_n draw_v near_o this_o will_v bear_v up_o the_o heart_n against_o all_o discouragement_n these_o affliction_n reproach_n temptation_n will_v have_v a_o end_n when_o christ_n come_v so_o that_o upon_o these_o account_v it_o be_v so_o much_o speak_v of_o and_o to_o be_v make_v know_v application_n 1_o this_o serve_v for_o reproof_n first_o of_o those_o that_o can_v endure_v to_o bear_v of_o the_o come_n of_o christ_n that_o have_v rather_o hear_v of_o any_o thing_n than_o the_o come_n of_o christ_n why_o be_v christ_n come_v speak_v of_o so_o by_o himself_o by_o all_o the_o apostle_n and_o evangelist_n do_v the_o spirit_n say_v come_v and_o the_o bride_n say_v come_v and_o shall_v not_o we_o endure_v to_o hear_v of_o the_o come_n of_o christ_n it_o argue_v abundance_n of_o guilt_n abundance_n of_o wickedness_n and_o profaneness_n abundance_n of_o ignorance_n in_o the_o heart_n that_o can_v endure_v to_o hear_v of_o the_o come_n of_o christ_n 2_o it_o reprove_v those_o and_o show_v how_o inexcusable_a they_o will_v be_v that_o the_o come_n of_o christ_n be_v so_o make_v

it_o be_v all_o from_o the_o root_n of_o the_o tree_n so_o the_o difference_n that_o be_v among_o man_n it_o be_v from_o the_o root_n christ_n he_o give_v unto_o one_o man_n great_a part_n to_o

in_o grace_n some_o be_v babe_n some_o child_n some_o youngman_n some_o old_a disciple_n so_o in_o glory_n the_o twelve_o apostle_n shall_v sit_v upon_o twelve_o throne_n in_o glory_n some_o be_v

whatsoever_o gift_n you_o have_v whatsoever_o grace_n you_o have_v what_o glory_n soever_o you_o look_v for_o be_v not_o lift_v up_o and_o the_o reason_n be_v plain_a here_o and_o so_o rom._n 11.18_o boast_v not_o against_o the_o branch_n why_o another_o man_n be_v a_o branch_n as_o well_o as_o thou_o be_v take_v man_n as_o man_n he_o be_v a_o branch_n in_o the_o tree_n of_o nature_n and_o will_v

christ_n be_v the_o root_n and_o the_o root_n bear_v thou_o so_o do_v not_o boast_v of_o what_o place_n you_o shall_v have_v in_o heaven_n the_o son_n of_o zebedee_n they_o will_v be_v at_o the_o

therefore_o humble_a and_o lowly_a what_o thou_o have_v thou_o have_v receive_v why_o be_v thou_o lift_v up_o then_o as_o if_o thou_o have_v not_o receive_v it_o the_o root_n the_o lord_n christ_n will_v call_v you_o to_o a_o account_n one_o day_n of_o what_o you_o have_v receive_v and_o how_o you_o have_v employ_v the_o same_o therefore_o remember_v thou_o have_v all_o from_o the_o root_n

desire_v the_o come_n of_o christ_n then_o let_v i_o entreat_v you_o all_o to_o examine_v yourselves_o whether_o you_o do_v so_o desire_v the_o come_n of_o christ_n yea_o or_o no_o and_o if_o you_o will_v know_v it_o i_o shall_v commend_v two_o or_o three_o thing_n to_o you_o beyond_o what_o i_o have_v lay_v down_o 1_o that_o soul_n that_o desire_v the_o come_n of_o christ_n as_o the_o bride_n here_o do_v live_v not_o in_o any_o know_a sin_n that_o soul_n that_o live_v in_o any_o know_a sin_n that_o soul_n can_v that_o soul_n do_v not_o that_o soul_n dare_v not_o desire_v the_o come_n of_o christ_n i_o will_v give_v you_o one_o place_n of_o scripture_n for_o it_o 2_o thes_n 1.8_o when_o the_o lord_n jesus_n shall_v be_v reveal_v from_o heaven_n with_o his_o mighty_a angel_n in_o flame_a fire_n take_v vengeance_n on_o they_o that_o know_v not_o god_n and_o that_o obey_v not_o the_o gospel_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n if_o a_o man_n be_v ignorant_a and_o know_v not_o god_n and_o his_o duty_n and_o if_o a_o man_n do_v know_v god_n and_o his_o duty_n and_o disobey_v the_o gospel_n dare_v that_o man_n now_o desire_v the_o come_n of_o christ_n that_o shall_v come_v in_o flame_n of_o fire_n to_o render_v vengeance_n do_v the_o murderer_n desire_v the_o come_n of_o the_o judge_n do_v any_o guilty_a man_n desire_v the_o come_n of_o he_o that_o will_v bring_v he_o forth_o and_o punish_v he_o for_o his_o guilt_n therefore_o the_o soul_n that_o desire_v the_o come_n of_o christ_n be_v a_o soul_n that_o live_v in_o no_o know_a sin_n he_o be_v neither_o ignorant_a of_o god_n gospel_n nor_o duty_n nor_o disobedent_n to_o god_n christ_n or_o gospel_n 2_o if_o you_o do_v desire_v the_o come_n of_o christ_n in_o truth_n and_o according_a to_o those_o desire_v before_o mention_v you_o will_v make_v some_o preparation_n for_o the_o come_n of_o christ_n as_o you_o see_v the_o bride_n that_o say_v come_v she_o prepare_v for_o his_o come_n revel_v 19.7_o and_o his_o wife_n have_v make_v herself_o ready_a she_o prepare_v for_o his_o come_n and_o so_o in_o the_o gospel_n luke_n 12.40_o be_v you_o therefore_o ready_a also_o for_o the_o son_n of_o man_n come_v at_o a_o hour_n when_o you_o think_v not_o and_o the_o wise_a virgin_n they_o make_v ready_a in_o matth._n 25._o say_v he_o there_o and_o while_o the_o foolish_a virgin_n go_v to_o buy_v oil_n the_o bridegroom_n come_v and_o they_o that_o be_v ready_a go_v in_o with_o he_o to_o the_o marriage_n and_o the_o door_n be_v shut_v now_o what_o do_v you_o do_v towards_o christ_n
