So as evill doctrines are hatefull to Christ as well as evill deeds we may as well plead for the toleration of the one as of the other yea to hold the doctrine h. e. to be stiffe in maintaining evill opinions or to suffer such as doe which thing I hate * 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 is abominable before Christ as well as to teach them 4.

Not so cold as not to admit of Presbyteriall government upon triall and in part nor so hot as to receive it wholly in the power and practise 'T were well if in these things we were more then almost perswaded to be Christians The Fourth use Above all things let 's take heed of crucifying Christ againe and of putting of him to an open shame or of betraying him or his cause for by-respects least as he said unto his Brethren I am Joseph whom ye sold (f) Gen 45. 4. so it be said unto us I am Christ whom ye denied The Jewes will not believe him to be the true Messiah and feare not his second comming though some prove a first and second comming of the Messiah by their owne traditions * Petrus Galat. de Arca.

And whereas it is written Jsa 45. 23. As I live saith the Lord every knee shall bow to me and every tongue shall confesse to God The Apostle from thence concludes in this manner So then every one of us shall give an account of himselfe to God (h) Rom. 14. 11 12. Saints as well as sinners for of such he there speakes And yet more distinctly Jewes and Gentles Behold he commeth with clouds and every eye shall see him they also which pierced him and all kindreds of the Earth shall waile because of him (i) Rev 1. 7. small and great (k) ch 20. 12. quicke and dead (l) 1 Pet 4. 5. Our Saviour speakes of Tyre Sidon and Sodome that it shall be easier for them at the day of Judgement then for Capernaum and Bethsaida (m) Mat 11. 22. 24. which implies that all who ever lived not onely after his incarnation but from the beginning of the world shall be respectively countable unto Christ one as well as another And as all persons so All causes 2. all causes shall be judged by him The distinction between civill and ecclesiasticall judicatories shall then vanish all things shall be indifferently heard at one Barre and men shall give an account of their practise or conversation He shall reward every man 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 (n) Mat. 16. 27.
