    ( 90 ]■ tures of Truth; if we discern them through, from the Prophets and from tlie Gospel, we shall clearly discern that those people who are welcomed into the joy of their Lord will be looking and waiting for his Coming, as it is said in Isaiah, in Daniel, in Mala- chi; and the prophets throughout speak of those that will be waiting for the Lord—who are said to be the wise that shall see and understand—and they that fear the Lord will speak often one to another^—and they shall be mine, saith the Lord of Hosts, in the day that I make up my jewels. The same is con- firmed by our Saviour : the wise virgins would be looking for the coming of their Lord, and be wel- comed in with the Bridegroom; and the same is said ol the faithful servants, who would be counted bless- ed to be found so doing. But if we discern the Scriptures through, we shall find throughout, these people are spoken of, that our Saviour said would mock at his second coming, sayings The Lord de- lay eth his coming : and as St. Peter said they would say, Where is the promise of his coming? and these are the people that should have their portion 'with the hypocrites. So now I wish all men to read the Scriptures with attention, and judge for their- selves ; for these are they that testify of the Lord, and of his coming to take out of his Kingdom all that offend and do wickedly. Therefore those that despise the visitation of his Spirit, to give the warn- ing, let them read the Scriptures and judge for them ■ selves—O, that they were wise ! that they under- stood this ; that they might consider their latter end ! for the love o Jolod passeth all understanding for those who love the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ.
