would hide our selues yet sistemur we shall be set or presented before the Iudge The consideration of the last iudgement Doctr. should perswade vs to our duties and to refraine from that which is euill Act. 17.30.31 God commandeth all men euery where to repent because hee hath appointed a day wherein he will iudge the world c. 2 Cor. 5.10.11 We must all appear before the iudgement seat of Christ that euery one may receiue c. Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord we perswade men Iudge not thy brother Vse 1 for thou thy selfe shalt bee iudged Shall the prisoner that stands at the barre for his life leap vp into the seate of the Iudge Anselmus Qui iudicat fratrem tantum crimen elationis in currit vt Christi tribunal fibi videatur assumere eius iudicium praeuenire Hee which iudgeth his brother shewes so great pride as if hee should aduance into Christs tribunall and preuent his iudgement Iudge nothing before the time vntill the Lord come saith Paul elsewhere 1 Cor. 4.5 Let vs not meddle with iudging wee shall haue iudging enough at that day let vs rather be carefull that wee may stand with boldnesse and confidence before the Iudge Saint Paul giueth vs here to vnderstand that one of the bils of enditement that shall be put in against vs and to bee enquired of is for Iudging our Brethren for which he cueth the Romanes to answer it before the great Iudge at that day There shall be a day of generall Iudgement Vse 2 though many scoffers beleeue it not of whom Saint Peter speaketh 2. Pet. 3.3 4. and though thousands wish it might neuer be Oh how much would the Drunkard and other abominable sinners giue to buy off that day But we must all stand before the Iudgement seate of Christ It is most true that euery particular mans soule in death vndergoeth a particular iudgement and in the same moment is eleuated intellectually to heare the Sentence of the Iudge by an illumination or locution intellectuall and so knoweth it selfe to be saued or damned by the authority of Christ by the law appointed by God and accordingly at that instant goeth vnto or is in ioy or torment But this is but Particular and there must bee a Generall Iudgement as the Scripture signifieth which may also appeare by reason 1 Many iust persons are here afflicted and wicked prospered there shall be therefore a time wherein exact Iustice shall be manifested 2 Many wicked men are punished here and many are not there must be therefore a time of generall iudgement or else there may seeme to be some inequalitie 3 Many iust persons are condemned here to death as if they were wicked and many wicked dye with an opinion left of their sanctine 4 Also in the particular iudgement onely the soule is iudged but the body must also therefore there must in iustice be a generall Iudgement 5 Some affirme Bellarm. in Explicatione Symb-Apostol art 7. that our good and ill deeds are not finished in death but our sinne or worthinesse encreaseth to the day of Iudgement as any are bettered or corrupted by our example speeches writings c. and therefore because euery one shall receiue according to his workes that there must be a generall Iudgement euen for this It is a great consolation to true Beleeuers Vse 3 that there shall be a day of Iudgement and that Christ shall be their Iudge who dyed for them who yet maketh intercession for them who is their Aduocate their Friend their Brother whose members they are Surely this day will be the happiest day that euer dawned vpon vs It shall neuer repent vs that we haue serued God mortified our corruptions denyed our selues refused the pleasures of sinne which are but for a season that we haue fasted prayed wept for our sinnes endured the Crosse c. for we shall then receiue a thousand fold by the sentence of the Iudge This day is not so comfortable to the good as it will bee terrible euen a day of blacknesse and confusion to the wicked when their greatest Enemy shall sit vpon his greatest Enemies Oh how shall Iudas and Pilate tremble and be confounded at that day Thinke of it thou Drunkard thou blasphemer c. He whom thou hast condemned shall be thy Iudge How darest thou expect pardon and mercy Now indeed is the time of mercy but then only of Iudgement The remembrance of the day of Iudgement should perswade vs to repentance Vse 4 for this end Christ commanded his Apostles especially to testifie this to all men Act. 10.42 that he is ordained Iudge of quicke and dead So Saint Paul vseth this as the last Argument to draw men from their sinnes 2. Cor. 5.11 And truely who can haue any desire or delight in sinne when he shall thinke of that Iudge of that Iudgement of that Sentence of that neuer dying worme of those vnquenchable flames Magna est peccati poena Aug. ser 120. de Temp. metum memoriam futuri perdidisse Iudicij It is a great punishment of sinne to lose the feare and remembrance of the Iudgement to come said Saint Augustine But if thou dost remember it and heare of it and yet not feare it is a signe of the infinite Anger of God vpon thee The found of the last Trumpet was alwayes in the eares of Saint Hierome who wheresoeuer he was thought he heard the voyce of the Arch-angell Arise yee dead and come to Iudgement Act. 24.25 Yea Foelix himselfe trembled to heare Paul preach of the Iudgement to come Alwayes thinke of this day and repell the temptations vnto sinne with the remembrance thereof Consider what it will cost thee Now the Drunkard the vncleane person the proud the couetous c. see not the foulnesse of their faults but then thou shalt see and wonder that thou wert so mad to runne into such danger for such small and idle satisfactions When thou shalt appeare before that Iudge when Satan and thine owne conscience shall accuse thee when thou shalt behold the frowning and irefull countenance of the Iudge and those fires prepared for thee What wilt thou doe whither wilt thou goe nor friends nor riches nor promises nor prayers nor teares can auaile What shall we doe if that day shall finde vs often forewarned but vnprepared How shall wee endure that fire that cannot endure the tooth-ake the stone a fit of an Ague Let vs vse all care while wee liue here so to behaue and discharge our selues that that day may be happy and comfortable vnto vs. Amen VERSE 11. For it is written As I liue saith the Lord euery knee shall bow to me and euery tongue shall confesse to God IN this verse is prooued that wee shall all stand before the Iudgement seat of Christ and in the next verse the end of such appearance there is declared The proofe is by a Testimony In which wee may note the qualitie

of losing the same Meat and all indifferent things if they be considered in themselues haue a free vse and may and sometimes ought to be omitted for our brothers sake which is otherwise in those things which of themselues doe belong to a blessed life Acceptable to God as he is our Father now reconciled by the merits of Iesus Christ so God is said to be well pleased with our deuotion Heb. 13.16 But if we consider God as a Iudge then all our seruice is too deficient to procure acceptation and we and our sacrifices are acceptable onely by Iesus Christ as S. Peter speaketh 1 Pet. 2.5 Approued of men 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 a word taken from the allowance of Coyne as if he should haue said that he which serueth Christ in these things is a Currant Professor Of men that haue a sincere iudgement Caluinus for wicked men reuile and disgrace such and yet outward righteousnesse and peace haue praise among such for vniust dealing and contention are things odious to all The iust and peaceable are acceptable to God Doctr. and approued of men as the true seruants of Christ Pro. 3.1.2.3.4 My sonne forget not my law c let not mercy and truth forsake thee c. So shalt thou find fauour and good vnderstanding in the sight of God and man So for the acceptation of God Acts 10.35 and the approbation of man 1 Pet. 3.13 and of these was Christ a singular example who encreasing in wisedome and stature was in fauour with God and man Luke 2.52 Whether thou vsest indifferent things or vsest them not Vse 1 whether thy garments be white or blacke whether thou sittest or kneelest doe righteousnesse abstaine from sinne obey the Magistrate and liue peaceably in the Church for in these things thou seruest Christ not in the other Acceptable to God and approued of men Vse 2 Here note the order and the coniunction of these first acceptable to God before approued of men and these are so knit together that whosoeuer is or is not acceptable to God ought or ought not to be approued of men but it doth not hold backward that they which are approued of men ought to be or are acceptable to God Hence we haue three things 1 A direction wouldest thou be acceptable to God be righteous and peaceable wouldst thou be approued of men labour to be acceptable of God The way to credit and glory euen in this life is to glorifie God 1 Sam. 2.30 Ioh. 12.43 Them that honour me I will honour saith the Lord. And because the Pharisees loue the praise of men more then the praise of God therefore are they contemptible euen before men Hence it comes to passe that many Noble and rich men are despised notwithstanding because though they desire to be honored yet they begin not at God 2 An admonition that we should approue of them which are acceptable to God and improue them which are not The iust and peaceable are accepted of God approue thou of them How canst thou iustifie to approue of drunkards common swearers and to contemne such who conscionably serue God How canst thou iustifie to neglect the iust and peaceable and to esteeme of the vniust and contentious and yet we haue some who wil vilifie them which keep peace and good order and highly esteeme onely of those who breake the same It is wonderfull that to obey Magistrates and to liue peaceably should be accounted a fault and to resist Magistrates and be contentious a vertue What is it to call good euill and euill good if this be not 3 Consolation If men doe not approue thee yet if God accept of thee it is enough thou hast great cause to be of good cheere The safest way is to please God howsoeuer men thinke of vs. I would bee approued of men and please them if they will be pleased with doing good but if they will not bee pleased vnlesse I bee vniust and vnpeaceable I dare not buy at so deare a rate the approbation of any mortall creature The Kingdome of God is not in words but in power Vse 3 If thou hast a forme of godlinesse shew the power of it in thy life If thou professest that thou knowest God deny him not in thy workes This the blemish of religion that to twenty good words we haue not one good worke But Christ will not bee serued with words but really in the workes of righteousnes and with a peaceable conuersation 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 said Nazianzen Nazian in Tetrast A speechlesse worke is better then a deedlesse word VERSE 19. Let vs therefore follow after the things which make for peace and things wherewith one may edifie another THis verse is the application of the 17. and 18. verses In the which is an exhortation to peace and mutuall edification In this exhortation are the Duty and the Amplification Of the Duty there are two branches 1. Peace 2. Edification Outward peace is here vnderstood which is either generall and may be called Ciuill which is to be with all men of which we haue written Rom. 12.18 or more particular which is Ecclesiasticall with the Brethren and may be described to be a mutuall concord and consent of Christians in opinion affection words and behauiour in their whole life A pretious Iewell To edifie is a Latine word and signifies to build a house chiefely a Temple And here translated to signifie the promoting of our brethren in faith and grace that they may bee made better and more and more grow vp in Christ As builders of a house do mutually helpe one another till they haue finished so euery one is to be ready to doe seruice to his brother till he obtaine the glory The faithfull by an elegant Metaphor are called the temple and house of God in which he dwelleth by his spirit and the whole company of the elect are compared to a great City 1 Cor. 3.16 6.19 2 Cor. 6.16 the new Ierusalem built vp of the beleeuers as of liuing stones as diuinely the Prophet Esay declareth Esay 54.11 12. and S. Iohn Reuel 21.10 seq The Amplification is threefold 1 From the Illatiue therefore In as much as the Kingdome of God is peace and so Christ is serued therefore let vs put away strife and imbrace peace 2 From the persons let vs implying the strong and weak also wee must all liue peaceably one with another and edifie one another I am bou●● to thee and thou art bound to mee in these things 3 From the manner these must be done wisely let vs indeuour vnto things which make for peace c. by auoyding those things which may hinder and by doing such things which may further the same There is wisedome required to discerne what makes for peace and what for contention Also we must earnestly follow such things as the word signifies many wish for peace and say would God wee were at peace and God send peace but they
