                   Saviour, but died without the sight, should


               be raised a little before, to witness the scenes


               attending  his  glorious  epiphany;  as,  in  like


               manner, a goodly company came out of their


               graves  after  his  resurrection,  to  behold  his


               risen glory (Matthew 27:52, 53), and to escort



               him in triumph to the right hand of the throne


               of  the  majesty  on  high  (Ephesians  4:8,


               margin);  and  also  that  some,  eminent  in


               wickedness, who have done most to reproach


               the name of Christ and injure his cause, and


               especially those who secured his cruel death


               upon the cross, and mocked and derided him


               in his dying agonies, should be raised, as part


               of  their  judicial  punishment,  to  behold  his


               return  in  the  clouds  of  heaven,  a  celestial


               victor, in, to them, unendurable majesty and


               splendor.
