We know that neither the good nor bad Angels can doe any thing without the Lords Authority, but what is this to the force of my words, which consists in this; that seeing the good Angels, which can at once assemble the unjust to the place of judgement, and the elect to meet the Lord in the aire, shall yet gather the elect onely, and leave the rest behinde; therefore these things are not to be done at the same time. And consequently, that the judgement of the dead is not to be at the time of Christs ascending. For then doubtlesse the wicked should as well be ga∣thered to the place of their last judgement, as the elect shal to meet the Lord in the aire. And it is flat against the expresse word of God, Isai. 66.19, 20. Joel 2.32. Zech. 14.16. Rev. 11.13. to say, that all the wicked that shall be eye-witnesses of G••ds won∣ders at the time of our Saviours descension, shall perish in the destruction that shall then come on the earth.
