then shall lay any thing to their charge It is God that Justifieth saith St. Paul who then shall Condemn It is Christ that Judgeth there is therefore no Condemnation to them that are his 2. And this also shall strike confusion to his enemies They shall see him coming in the Clouds of Heaven and sitting on the Throne of Glory whom they pierced Whom they pierced with their bands with their sins with their tongues with their oaths with their blasphemies and impieties he whom they despised whose call they neglected whose Gospel they rejected whose Word they contemned whose Mercy they abused whose Ministers they slighted whose Ambassadours they wronged he shall be their Judge For he is of such omnipotency that he shall force his enemies and all to appear before his Tribunal And thus having briefly discussed the first quaerie Quis who this Judge shall be I pass to the second Quos whom hee shall Judge All the Earth A very large Circuit other Judges are Judges of but some small Circuit or corner of the Earth Judges of earth and Judges who when their breath goeth forth must fall to the earth and turn to a little lump of earth as well as others but this is the Judge of all the Earth Judex totius mundi the Judge of all the world All the world yea all the men of the world must appear before his Tribunal We must all appear before the Judgement seat of Christ 2 Cor. 5.10 Before him shall be gathered all Nations Mat. 25.32 All Nations and Countries all People and Languages all men of what estate or condition soever The King that Ruleth the Judge that Judgeth the Lawyer that pleadeth the Client that sueth the witness that sweareth the Jury that censureth the Pastour that speaketh the people that heareth high and low rich and poor young and old we must all appear before this mighty Judge He is Judex vivorum mortuorum Judge of the living and the dead Those who are found alive at his coming shall in a moment be changed those that dyed before shall in a moment be raised all shall appear All that are in the graves shall hear the voice of the Son of God and they shall conse forth they that have done good to the Resurrection of life and they that have done evil to the Resurrection of condemnation John 5.28 29. All that are in the Graves yea and more than all that are in the Graves all that have dyed since the beginning of the world though they have been drowned in the Sea and devoured by fishes though they have been burned in the fire and consumed to Ashes though their flesh hath been made a banquet to the beasts of the field and fowls of the Air yet at the Trumpet of the Arch-Angel at the voice of the Son of God they shal all revive the Trump shall sound and the dead shall rise and come to judgement There shall not miss one man woman or childe from the beginning of the Creation All shall appear every one propria persona in his own proper person no Proxie no Atrourney shall serve the turne at that day Thus much St. John affirmeth Rev. 20.12 Where was revealed to him the Majesty of this mighty Judge and the manner of this grand Assize I saw a great white Throne and one who sate upon it from whose Face fled away both the earth and the Heaven and I saw the dead both great and small stand before God for the Sea gave up her dead which were in her and death and Hell delivered up the dead that were in them and they were judged every man according to their works But some may say shall all be judged as well the Godly as the Godless as well the faithful as the faithless have we not the Judges own Word and Warrant for the contrary confirmed with a double Seal that the faithful who hear and obey his Word and believe in him shall not bee judged Amen amen dico vobis c. Verily verily I say unto you hee that heareth my word and believeth in him that sent me hath everlasting Life and shall not come into Judgement but passeth from death unto life Joh. 5.24 To which I answer That the word 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 which properly signifieth judgement is sometimes taken for 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 which signifieth condemnation as 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 for 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 to Judge for to condemn often in the Scripture So that when Christ saith the faithful shall not come 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 into judgement the meaning is into condemnation as St. Austin well noteth on the place There is saith he Judicium absolutionis Judicium condemnationis the Judgement of absolution and the Judgement of condemnation Or as Aquinas aptly distinguisheth in the last Judgement are two things discussio peccatorum retributio praemiorum a discussion of sins and a retribution of rewards All shall appear both the faithful and the faithless though to a different judgement The faithful to the judgement of absolution ad retributionem praemioruns to partake of the reward the wicked to the judgement of condemnation ad discussionem peccatorum to answer for their sins Their sins shall be discussed searched and sifted most narrowly their most secret sins shall be laid open to the view of the whole world before that great assembly both of Men and Angels and not onely laid open but laid to their charge the Book of Conscience shall be opened and accuse them more than a thousand witnesses and according to their sins shall a fearful doom be pronounced an everlasting separation from that most beatifical Vision of the Deity to a terrible Habitation and association with wicked Devils Depart from me ye cursed into everlasting fire prepared for the Devil and his Angels Mat. 25. But as for the Godly and Faithful who are reconciled to their Heavenly Father by the blood of Jesus Christ his blessed Son though they appear also at this great Assize yet it shall be to the Judgement of absolution to be acquitted pardoned saved There shal no discussio peccatorum pass upon them their sins shall not be laid open nor laid to their charge nor hamed nor mentioned nor brought forth at that day so much as to accuse them or grieve or shame them much less to condemn them but they shall all be washed away in the blood of the Lamb blotted out forgotten and forgiven as if they had never been For I will forgive their iniquities and I will remember their sin no more Jer. 31.34 and again Jer 50.20 In those dates and at that time saith the Lord the iniquity of Israel shall be sought for and there shall be none and the sins of Judah and they shall not be found for I will pardon them whom I reserve So shall the Prophesie of Balaam be fulfilled He shall see none Iniquity in Jacob nor transgression in Israel Numb 23.21 Their sins indeed shall be sought for
