I have read the sermon and the last paragraphs in the Latin make it clear the speaker believed the rapture happens at the end of the world.
But, even allowing your reading, one person out of millions of believers over hundreds of years makes my point nicely.

Actually, you insisted it was a “19th century novelty. It is not.

Second, you only asked for one person. You got it. There are examples from the early fathers through two thousand years.

One last comment...

The sermon clearly orders the events and then lumps them together as occurring at the end of the world, which is true. More importantly for this conversation, he correctly orders the return of Christ for His church to keep them from evil, the pouring out of judgement on the earth and then the millennium - proving it was not a 19th century novelty.

in closing...

whether a single person in recorded history ever believed it is only important to disprove your claim. What actually matters is that it can be found in the Scriptures.

That you choose not to believe what is recorded in the Scriptures concerning the return of the Savior for His bride is entirely up to you. In my experience, most people have their ideas firmly set about this and the millennium. I do not try to change them because I do not believe it is the centerpiece of Christianity.

I may be wrong, but I believe you differ from historic Christianity on a number of central points. On the other hand, it is late tonight and I’m tired.

I wish you the best.
