Cor. 5.10 Wee must all appeare before the iudgement seate of Christ that euery man may receiue the things which are done in his body according to that he hath done whether it bee good or euill Here the better to assure vs of the truth and certaintie of the Lords proceeding of his particularizing of al things in this action the holy Ghost telleth vs that the Lord hath as it were bookes of record to manifest all and euery work of man and his bookes bee three in number First his booke of prouidence which is the knowledge of all particular things past present and to come Psal 136.16 Secondly his booke of iudgement which is diuided as it were into two parts first his prescience knowing euery thing far more euidently then wee know any thing recorded in a booke before our eyes secondly the second part of the booke of iudgement is the conscience of euery man standing beefore him which shall then bee so qualified by the great power of God that it shall bee able to record and testifie so much of all his particulars as shall serue to testifie his faith and iustification by Christ or his most iust condemnation without Christ The third booke is the booke of life which is the eternall decree of God concerning the saluation of his elect by Christ whose names bee so written in this booke that they being as gods precious pearles can neuer bee lost Of this booke read Esa 4.3 and Exod. 32.32 And of this distinction of bookes Reuel 20.12 And I saw the dead both great and small stand before God and the bookes were opened and another booke was opened which is the booke of life and the dead were iudged of those things which were written in the bookes according to their works And after that mens works are made manifest by these bookes then must they bee tryed whether they be good or euill the Gentiles and Iewes that neuer heard of Christ by the Law of nature which shall proue them inexcusable Rom. 2.12.16 The rest that haue heard shall bee tryed by the Law and Gospell Rom. 2.16 The word of God shall serue as a bill of inditement for the iust condemnation of all such as haue contemned the Law Gospell of Iesus Christ Ioh. 12.48 for the sentence of the Iudge in the last day of generall iudgement shall bee nothing else but a manifestation and declaration of the sentence pronounced and published before by the ministry and preaching of the Gospell touching the iustification and condemnation of euery particular person Eightly after the manifestation of all things and that euery particular conscience sees his blessed iustification by Christ or his iust condemnation by vnbeleefe and for his woorkes then the Iudge shall proceede to his definitiue sentence and this is two-fold The first is pronounced to the Elect in these words Mat. 25.34 Come yee blessed of my Father inherit the kingdome prepared for you from the beginning of the world This sentence is full of affection and loue most sweete and most comfortable recommending the free grace of God their election their adoption and blessednesse in Christ and not their workes for the causes of their saluation and then he addeth the euidence of their Faith by the workes of mercy which they haue done to his members here on earth I was hungry The principall works of men are those which are done to the pore members of Christ Gal. 6.10 and yee gaue me to eate c. The answere of the Saints saying when saw wee thee hungry c. argues that they were far from vaine glory in their works or seeking any iustification by them and Christs last words to them in as much as you did it to the least of these my brethren c. giues vs an infallible argument of Gods child which is not to loue because wee are loued againe but to loue for Christs sake and the liuing members of Christ because wee see his picture and image in them renued this is a speciall grace of God and of this loue speakes Dauid Psal 16. 1.
