    Saivi°ur,to havei the kingdom my own, and I must establish it at that time without considering the other Scriptures could never be fulfilled: for a man may as well expect his harvest, when he soweth his seed, as expect me to fulfil the prophe- cics when I cu.me to sow my word. Therefore X j said except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone ; but if it die, it bringeth foith much fruit; therefore, I must die, and my iiuit must remain until I come to gather in my hai vest; then cometh the increase of all my words. So he that hath ears to hear, let him hear; and he that hath eyes to see, let him see, how, from the seed of all my words, I must come to judge all men at the last day, and to save the world where the, seed remaineth in them: for know it is written of the increase of my kingdom there shall be no end. Here I have shewn front my own words how men must judge of my coming, and know, I have loved them to the end ; aud said I .would be with them to the end: but mark what I said unto Peter; what I do thou knowest not ' now, but thou shalt know hereafter. Neither 1 Peter, nor my Disciples, understood at that time what I was come into the world for, but all will understand when they come with me again in glory. The Disciples followed on by faith, without knowing or under- standing all that I said unto them; or what I had done when I had washed the Disciples feet, they understood it was no more than a pattern for they to copy after, and wash the feet one of another. But the time stands for the end, when I shall wash the feet of all men that are my Dis- ciples ; but not in fhe manner I washed the Dis- ciples feet, for then all evjl was not washed away. But when all evil is done away, then will I wash men, and make them whole; for all the shadows in my Gospel stand for the substance in the end.
