6 1 Chqseomingi4At our roiAnight. though now abfent from your foule , yet he will come againe. john 14.23. Ifany man love me , my father will love him, and we will come unto him andmake our abode with him. 2. Secondly , Take his coming for his Perfonall, vilible co- ming at the day of judgement, fo he will come again. 2 They: a, Chap. 7, 8,9, To. verfes. 3. Thirdly, Take his coming for his appearing in the donde! , when he will come to fet up his Kingdome , fo he will come again before that great day ; for ifye look into the Scripture, ye (hall find that his coming and his Kingdome are knit toge- ther, do fynchronize Dan, y. 1 3,14.

And inZachariah the laft , which is plainly fpoken ofthe glory of the latter timesyet to come , it is faidexpref- ly three times in that Chapter , that men go up to keep the feaft of Tabernacles, an allu(ion to the Jewifh Or- dinance.
