peremptory_a conclusion_n about_o this_o dark_a and_o obscure_a doctrine_n of_o christ_n come_v to_o judge_v the_o world_n there_o be_v many_o loose_a and_o lavish_a frolic_a wit_n that_o have_v

end_n take_v heed_n of_o these_o thing_n first_o take_v heed_n of_o determine_v the_o place_n from_o whence_o christ_n shall_v come_v the_o papist_n they_o be_v bold_a thi●_n way_n they_o hold_v you_o in_o hand_n that_o christ_n shall_v come_v from_o the_o east_n therefore_o our_o church_n all_o of_o they_o be_v build_v east_n and_o west_n and_o upon_o that_o ground_n that_o christ_n will_v come_v from_o the_o east_n the_o scripture_n say_v that_o christ_n shall_v come_v as_o lightning_n from_o the_o east_n but_o that_o do_v not_o show_v the_o place_n from_o whence_o he_o come_v but_o as_o christ_n shall_v come_v as_o lightning_n it_o note_v the_o visibility_n of_o christ_n come_n and_o the_o celerity_n of_o christ_n come_v lightning_n it_o be_v visible_a and_o so_o shall_v christ_n come_v bee_n all_o shall_v see_v he_o as_o you_o see_v lightning_n now_o this_o bold_a attempt_n have_v be_v the_o foundation_n to_o many_o superstition_n opinion_n it_o be_v the_o reason_n of_o bow_v and_o c●inging_v towards_o the_o east_n all_o rise_v mere_o from_o that_o ground_n of_o christ_n come_v from_o the_o east_n the_o scripture_n only_o say_v that_o he_o shall_v come_v down_o from_o heaven_n and_o the_o lord_n shall_v come_v from_o heaven_n but_o from_o what_o part_n of_o the_o heaven_n the_o scripture_n speak_v not_o again_o pass_v not_o bold_a conjecture_n in_o determine_v the_o place_n where_o christ_n shall_v come_v to_o judge_v the_o world_n many_o man_n where_o the_o scripture_n be_v silent_a do_v run_v into_o many_o strong_a conceit_n to_o determine_v that_o which_o the_o scripture_n do_v not_o many_o book_n do_v determine_v the_o place_n where_o christ_n shall_v come_v to_o judge_v the_o world_n and_o that_o be_v in_o the_o valley_n of_o jehoshaphat_n and_o there_o be_v one_o text_n which_o seem_v to_o carry_v it_o that_o way_n which_o be_v in_o joel_n 3._o 12._o let_v the_o heathen_a be_v awake_v and_o come_v up_o to_o the_o valley_n of_o

second_o their_o judgement_n here_o only_o refer_v to_o the_o judge_n of_o the_o heathen_a round_o about_o now_o the_o general_a judgement_n be_v for_o the_o judge_n of_o the_o righteous_a and_o the_o
