In
the
day
when
God
shall
iudge
the
secrets
of
men
,
by
Iesus
Christ
,
according
to
my
Gospell
.
THere
is
a
dangerous
erronious
conceit
lodged
within
the
hearts
of
gracelesse
men
,
that
because
God
is
mercifull
,
[
](B12270-e10460-b)a

he
will
neuer
reuenge
:
as
if
in
regard
of
his
Mercy
,
it
accorded
not
with
his
nature
to
be
also
Iust
:
The
discouery
of
which
errour
,
for
preuention
of
greater
danger
,
is
the
the
Apostles
maine
businesse
in
the
beginning
of
this
Chapter
.
First
for
the
Errour
,
God
indeede
is
Mercifull
,
as
appeares
by
his
patience
,
forbearance
and
long
suffering
:
but
examine
the
cause
;
is
it
to
make
man
secure
in
sin
?
nothing
lesse
:
but
to
mollifie
his
obdurate
heart
,
and
to
worke
a
reformation
within
him
,
ver.

The
goodnesse
of
God
leads
thee
to
repentance
.
Secondly
,
for
the
danger
,
it
hath
a
wofull
expression
in
So
2
Pet.
3.
9.
the
progresse
of
the
Chapter
;
a
heaping
vp
of
wrath
against
the
day
of
wrath
,
and
reuelation
of
the
righteous
iudgement
of
God
,
and
such
a
God
as
is
no
respecter
of
persons
,
no
partiall
Iudge
,
but
will
render
vnto
euery
man
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
,
according
to
his
workes
.
So
that
hee
who
will
therfore
sinne
because
God
is
good
,
must
look
to
be
damned
because
God
is
iust
.
Obiect
.
Where
haply
it
may
be
obiected
,
that
the
Apostle
directs
not
his
Epistle
to
the
Hebrewes
,
the
Circumcision
;
he
is
taken
vp
now
with
the
Romans
,
vncircumcised
Gentiles
.
Howeuer
therefore
the
Iewes
had
a
Law
whereby
to
be
iudged
forsin
,
it
were
manifest
iniustice
for
the
Gentiles
to
be
damned
hauing
none
at
all
.
And
indeed
it
might
seeme
an
vnauoidable
sequell
,
had
the
Heathen
in
all
respects
bin
destitute
of
a
Law
to
direct
them
.
Isay
,
it
might
seeme
an
vnequall
course
to
adiudge
them
to
damnation
for
the
breach
of
that
which
they
knew
not
.
Answ.
But
contrarily
so
it
fared
,
as
they
had
the
Law
in
Tables
of
stone
,
so
these
had
no
lesse
imprinted
in
their
hearts
;
and
as
the
Law
of
Scripture
shall
try
the
one
,
the
Law
of
Nature
shall
iudge
the
other
.
Amongst
whom
,
the
grossest
Atheist
,
euen
Dauids
grandest
foole
,
who
hath
said
Psal.
14.
1.
in
his
heart
there
is
no
God
,
hath
a
Conscience
to
schoole
him
at
one
time
or
other
,
and
to
tell
him
that
God
will
iudge
him
.
And
although
for
a
while
it
be
silenced
and
tamed
with
sleepe
in
vessels
prepared
to
destruction
,
it
shall
at
length
awake
and
arise
for
a
witnesse
against
them
.
In
the
day
when
God
shall
iudge
the
secrets
of
men
by
Christ
Iesus
according
to
the
Gospell
.
This
being
the
reference
and
dependance
of
the
words
,
they
offer
to
our
consideration
these
seuerall
poynts
:
-
1.
A
time
of
Iudgement
,
[
In
the
day
]
come
when
it
will
.
-
2.
Who
shall
iudge
?
[
God
.
]
Iudicabit
Deus
,
God
shall
iudge
.
-
3.
Whom
?
[
Men
,
]
all
men
;
no
exception
.
-
4.
What
?
[
Secrets

]
Occulta

,
the
secrets
of
men
.
-
5.
By
whom
?
[
By
Iesus
Christ
;
]
He
that
was
sent
to
saue
vs
.
-
6.
And
lastly
,
the
warrant
of
Confirmation
,
-
For
nature
the
[
Gospell

]
-
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
.
-
according
to
my
Gospell
.
-
By
dispensation
Pauls
,
Thus
within
a
little
compasse
we
haue
a
Day
for
appearance
,
a
God
to
iudge
,
Men
to
be
questioned
,
Secrets
to
be
disclosed
,
Christ
Iesus
in
Commission
,
and
the
Gospell
for
our
assurance
.
In
the
day
when
God
shall
iudge
,
&c.
Of
all
these
in
the
order
as
I
haue
ranked
them
:
and
first
of
the
time
,
In
die
.
It
is
the
witty
curiosity
of
one
that
affected
it
,
that
Gorran
.
the
time
of
Iudgement
hath
in
Scripture
foure
appellations
:
1.
It
is
called
the
Day
,
for
manifestation
of
secrets
.
2.
The
Night
,
for
suddennesse
of
euent
.
3.
The
Euen
,
for
the
ending
of
time
.
Doct.
Lastly
,
the
Morning
,
for
the
beginning
of
eternity
.
But
to
Comment
vpon
the
time
so
,
would
be
losse
of
time
to
vs
.
It
is
best
,
by
Day
,
to
vnderstand
the
time
in
general
,
and
to
build
vpon
it
no
more
then
it
beares
:
that
there
shall
be
a
day
of
iudgement
.
A
truth
of
infallible
cerainty
,
because
a
day
of
the
Lords
setting
:

God
hath

and
as
Hezekiah
said

is
the
word
of
the
Lord
[
](B12270-e11090-b)a

.
A
truth
likewise
for
reuelation
,
of
great
antiquity
,
and
in
order
to
the
fountaine
,
from
all
eternity
.
Saint
Iude
deriues
it
from
Enoch

the
seuenth
from
Adam
,
in
his

and
15.
verses
;
Behold
,
the
Lord
commeth
to
execute
iudgement
vpon
all
:
and
the
last
Apostle
agreeth
with
the
first
Prophet
;
for

behold

yea

blessed
Fauorite
had
an
exact
vision
,
Apoc.

he
saw
the
Throne
,
and
the
Iudge
,
and
his
awfull
Maiesty
;
hee
saw
the
dead
,
and
the
bookes
,
the
persons
and
the
causes
,
the
iudgements
and
the
proceedings
,
in
discussing
,
in
discouering
,
in
condemning
:
a
complete
Assise
,
No
day
like
to
this
day
,
no
iudgement
to
this
iudgement
.
Other
are
lightsome
dayes

In
a
word
,
Other
are
our
dayes
,
this
is
the
Lords
day
;
they
of
his
Patience
,
this
of
his
Vengeance
;
they
of
his
Mercy
,
this
of
his
Iustice
and
Iudgement
.
For
the
Lord
hath
appointed
a
day
wherein
he
will
iudge
the
world
in
righteousnesse
[
](B12270-e11260-b)i
i
Act.
17.
31.
.
Not
a
Iudgement
of
Legall
direction
,
as
the
Statutes
and
Testimonies
of
Morality
;
nor
of
fatherly
Correction
to
preuent
Condemnation
with
the
world
[
](B12270-e11280-b)k
k

,
nor
of
temporary
infliction
,
such
as
now
this
dispersing
contagion
;
nor
of
ordinary
administration
,
whereby
God
standeth
in
Councels
:
but
a
generall
Conuention
for
tryall
in
the
highest
Consistory
,
an
vniuersall
inquisition
,
a
finall
Iudgement
,
discharging
the
righteous
,
discarding
the
vngodly
,
as
the
day
for
particulars
shall
discouer
what
we
cannot
.
So
certaine
,
that
euen
Humane
Reason
enlightened
with
holy
Scripture
,
conceiues
,
concludes
no
lesse
:
for
Seconded
by
Reason
,
and
looke
but
vpon
the
face
of
this
present
world
,
and
who
seeth
not
the
strange
inequality
of
humane
dispensations
?
Piety
is
molested
,
iniquity
spared
,
ambition
exalted
,
humility
scorned
;
which
occasioned
that
of
the
Poet
,
Ludit
in
humanis
diuina
potentia
rebus
;
as
if
earths
miseries
were
for
nothing
but
heauens
May-games
.
But
hath
God
forgotten
the
cause
of
his
Chosen
?
Will
his
Iustice
neuer
be
knowne
in
Iudgement
?
Out
of
all
question
,
Psal.
58.
Verily
there
is
a
reward
for
the
righteous
:
doubtlesse
there
is
a
God
that
iudgeth
the
earth
.
And
if
here
he
conceale
his
glory
,
there
must
needs
be
a
time
for
Manifestation
;
if
here
he
conniue
for
argument
of
his
patience
,
yet
no
time
past
for
euidence
of
his
Iustice
.
He
hath
appointed
a
day
for
men
and
for
Angels
to
behold
and
admire
his
righteous
Iudgements
.
But
take
a
neerer
course
,
and
aske
thine
owne
Conscience
;
Conscience
.
that
will
tell
thee
as
much
:
It
is
that
which
affrighteth
or
cheareth
,
accuseth
or
cleareth

,
commendeth
or
condemneth
,
sits
in
Commission
,
and
calls
thee
to
often
reckoning
.
Well
,
if
Conscience
doe
this
now
,
't
is
but
as
Tertullian
anciently
stiled
it
,
Praeiudicium
extremi
Iudicij
,
a
fore-runner
of
the
last
Iudgement
.

,
let
none
make
question
of
Gods
Tribunall
hereafter
,
but
accord
with
Scripture
,
and
Reason
,
and
Conscience
,
that
there
shall
be
a
day
of

Quest.
Yea
,
but
Quando

?
When
shall
these
things
be
?
for
that
was

Mat.

A
demand
that
cannot
be
satisfied
at
once
,
for
precise
definition
not
at
all
.
Answ.
The
answer
it
admits
,
I
comprize
in
three
Conclusions
:
1.
In
generall
,
it
shall
be
in
the
end
of
dayes
,
the
expiration
of
yeares
,
the
worlds
dissolution
,
the
Common
Resurrection
.
It
is
appointed
vnto
men

to
dye

but
after
this

iudgement

In
more
particular
,
it
shall
be
when
the
signes
are
accomplisht
,
the
Gospell
of
the
kingdome
resounding
to
a
reformation
,
Antichrist
reuealed
and
dis-throned
,
the
faith
eclipsed
,
manners
depraued
,
tribulations
multiplyed
,
terrors
dispersed
,
the
Iewes
,
in
some
measure
,
recalled
;
then

But
indiuidually
to
assigne
it
,
surpasseth
the
sublimest
knowledge
of
men
and
of
Angels
.
The
Disciples
(
we
must
thinke
)
had
learn'd
it

any

Vnto
you
it
is
giuen
to
know
the
mysteries
of
the
Kingdome
of
heauen
.
But
what
if
all
mysteries
be
not
alike
?
There
are
Mysteria
Regis
,
and
there
are
Mysteria
Regni
:
Mysteries
of
Religion
,
and
they
might
,
nay
,
they
must
be
knowne
:
Mysteries
of

hearts
,
and
them
none

Such

Neuer
would

were

inured
to

it
;
and
neuer
would

could
we
pray
with

,
In
the

of

,
and
in
the
day
of
Iudgement
,
Good
Lord
deliuer
vs
.
Once
then
to
conclude
this
poynt
;
As
we
heartily
tender
the
gayning
of
this
great
day
,
looke
into
our
Faith
,
that
we
be
found
in
the
Lord
Iesus
;
looke
into
our
liues
,
that
we
walke
as
becommeth
Christians
;
looke
into
our
Consciences
,
that
wee
make
them
our
friends
before-hand
:
Watch
and
pray
continually
,
that
we
may
be
able
to
stand
in
the
day
of
triall
.
O
remember
how
wee
liue
in
the
last
and
worst
times
,
and
know
not
how
neare
we
draw
to
the
last
and
strictest
Iudgement
;
and
though
God
should
procrastinate
and
slacken
his
last
comming
,
yet
Tibi
propè
est
vt
eas
hinc
:
The
Decree
is
irreuersible
,
that
sooner
or
later
we
must
all
away
to
our
long
home
.
Take
heed
therefore
,
lest
at
any
time
our
hearts
bee
oppressed
with
surfetting
and
drunkennesse
,
and
cares
of
this
life
[

.
Let
vs
walke
honestly
as
in
the
open
day
,
with
circumspection
as
in
the
last
age
:
and
herein
let
vs
exercise
our selues
to
haue
alwayes
a
cleare
conscience
towards
God
,
and
towards
men
[

That
so
when
the
Trumpe
shall
awaken
vs
with
a
Summons
to
the
last
Assises
,
we
may
appeare
with
boldnesse
for
our
plenary
Iustification
,
In
die
cùm
iudicabit
Deus
.
In
the
day
when
God
shall
iudge
.
And
let
this
suffice
to
haue
beene
spoken
of
the
first
point
,
to
wit
,
The
day
of
the
last
iudgement
.
Doct.
The
certainty
thus
concluded
,
it
will
bee
easie
to
determine
Who
shall
iudge
,
For
to
whom
can
the
Iudgement
essentially
appertain
,
saue
to
him
who
alone
is
essentially
iust
?
To
whom
can
it
belong
to
iudge
the
world
,
saue
to
him
who
in
the
beginning
made
the
world
?
And
that
can
be
none
but
God
(
you
will
say
)
which
must
draw
vs
along
to
resolue
with
the
Text
;
Iudicabit
Deus
,
God
shall
iudge
.
Where
it
matters
not
whether
we
vnderstand
the
Father
,
or
indifferently
assigne
it
to
the
whole
Trinity
;
seeing
Opera
Trinitatis
ad
extra
;
Such
workes
as
pitch
vpon
the
creature
,
admit
not
of
diuision
in
the
persons
of
the
Deity
.
Their
acts
are
the
same
for
matter
of
substance
[
](B12270-e12890-b)c
c

5.
19.
,
though
different
in
manner
of
administration
;
another
way
,
but
the
same
worke
.
So
Creation
at
first
,
and
Iudgement
at
last
,
are
ioyntly
ascribed
to
the
sacred
three
in
one
,
and
to
God
in
all
.
Indeed
we
haue
it
not
in
termes
irrespectiue
,
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
,
[
God
]
without
further
addition
,
but
God
shall
iudge
by
Iesus
Christ
;
and
therefore
vpon
a
second
examine
it
may
seeme
to
be
personall
rather
than
essentiall
:
The
Father
by
his
Sonne
,
not
the
whole
Trinity
.
Well
,
but
if
the
iudgement
belongs
to
them
,
we
cannot
exclude
the
person
proceeding
from
both
;
there
's
an
Ordine
quisque
suo
,
euery
one
in
his
owne
order
.
No
dissolution
of
consent
,
for
by
vnity
of
essence
the
three
are
one
[

no

for
in
dignity
of
persons
the
same
are
equal
[
](B12270-e12960-b)b
b
Symb

.
This
is
enough
;
the
Father
iudgeth
by
the
Sonne
in
the
vertue
and
power
of
the
holy
Ghost
.
Thus
then
God
shall
iudge
;
and
hee
that
shall
doe
it
at
last
,
sits
not
in
the
meane
time
as
an
idle
Spectator
.
He
iudgeth
now
in

causes
,
then
vniuersally

Now
successiuely
,

:
now
remissely
with

of

,
then
seuerely

the
rigor
of

:
now
he
begins
it
in
separated
soules
,
to
accomplish
it
then
in

In

,
now
he

That

To

Solut.

We
beleeue
the

not
in
sensu
composito
,
dead
in

in

it

they

Ioh.

shall

Wherefore

of

,
seeing
first
they
bee
raised
,

iudged

There
is
no

to
them
that
are
in

Iesus
.
God
hath
exempted
them
from
the
iudgement
of
condemnation
;
but
yet
they
must
be
iudged
with
the
sentence
of
absolution
.
For
that
which
they
haue
here
in
part
,
must
then
be
perfected
;
and
that
which
they
haue
here
by
Faith
shall
then
be

concerning

,
it
cannot
bee
denyed

but
that
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
,
in
some
respects
,
they
are
doomed
beforehand
:
As
-
1.
In
Gods
infallible
prescience
,
vnto
which
all
futures
are
present
.
-
2.
In
the
volume
of
his
reuealed
will
,
condemned
vpon
supposall
of
infidelity
.
-
3.
In
the
bookes
of
their
owne
Consciences
,
accused
and
adiudged
for
sinne
.
-
4.
In
respect
of
torments
begun
,
either
here
while
they
are
in
their
bodies
,
or
elsewhere
in
their
deceased
soules
.
I
say
,
they
are
doomed
already
in
regard
of
these
beginnings
:
but
,
-
1.
To
the
Iudgement
already
passed
,
there
wants
an
open
manifestation
of
Equity
and
Iustice
.
-
2.
To
the
paines
already
inflicted
,
there
rests
an
aggrauation
by
their
bodies
resumed
.
-
3.
To
the
vengeance
of
former
prauity
,
there
wants
an
infringement
of
further
liberty
.
Then
onely
are
they
iudged
to
the
full
,
when
their
doome
is
proclaimed
,
their
bodies
reioyned
,
and
themselues
from
the
Saints
of
God
euerlastingly
parted
.
All
then
must
come
forth
vnto
iudgement
,
though
not
all
alike
:
The
wicked
like
theeues
that
are
brought
forth
pinnion'd
and
bound
with
chaines
and
fetters
,
with
hearts
despairing
,
hands
trembling
,
consciences
accusing
,
and
their
owne
tongues
condemning
them
.
The
godly
,
like
the
Innocent
vniustly
emprisoned
,
that
hath
confidence
in
the
goodnesse
and
vprightnesse
of
his
cause
,
exceedingly
ioying
at
the
comming
of
his
Iudge
,
who
(
he
knowes
)
vpon
good
intelligence
will
strike
off
his
shackles
,
and
set
him
at
liberty
.
Wherefore
albeit
good
and
bad
be
reserued
to
a
day
of
appearance
,
yet
the
faithfull
onely
long
for
it
,
and
expect
it
as
a
day
of
reward
;

To
the
end
that
on
that
day
the
conuicted
may
be
cloathed
with
shame
,
and
valiant
conquerours
obtaine
the
glorious
prize
of
their
blessed
victory
.
In
consideration
whereof
the
beleeuer
hath
cast
off
the
spirit
of
bondage
to
feare
any
more
;
and
the
day
which
affrighteth
others
,
is
the
happy
ambition
of
his
desires
;

Lastly
,
(
to

Seeing

may
be
graciously
prepared

It
is
written
of
the
Ephraimites
in

of
Iudges
,
that
no
lesse
than
42000
were
taken
at
the
passages
of
Iordan
,
discouered
by
their
pronunciation
,
and
slaine
by
the
men
of
Gilead
.
Need
I
moralize
?
For
the
passages
then
of
Iordan
,
we
haue
the
straights
of
the
last
Iudgement
;
and
for
those
wrangling
Ephramites
,
remorselesse
sinners
;
who
albeit
in
this
life
they
may
escape
vnpunished
,
and
passe
securely
by
the
Censures
of
men
(
especially
your
grand
Impostours
,
whose
Religion
consists
in
formality
)
yet
at
length
they
are
knowne
in
their
different
natures
;
a
wrong
pronunciation
betrayes
these
Ephramites
;
Sibboleth
for
Shibboleth

Hypocrisie

vnrighteousnesse

To

It
s
one
thing
to
render
according

another
for
the

of

The
former
(
we
grant
)
is
both
Mercy

Iustice
,
though
in
a
sense
little
helpefull
to

no

Iustice

for
the
value

of

if
God
should
deale

no
iustice

punitiue
