That is Ye that continue still in your wickednesse and think that Gods plagues are not at hand but give your selves to all idlenesse wantonnesse and riot Exposition Obadiah 15. as the exposition is For the day of the Lord is near upon all the heathen as thou hast done it shall be done unto thee thy reward shall remain or return upon thine own head When I heard Habbak 3.16 my belly trembled my lips quivered at the voice rottennesse entred into my bones and I trembled in my self that I might rest in the day of trouble I will utterly consume all things from off the land or destroy all things saith the Lord God I will consume man and beast Zeph. 1.2 3. I will consume the fowles of the heaven and the fishes of the sea and the stumbling-blocks with the wicked and I will cut off or destroy man from off the land saith the Lord. Or I will destroy man and beast I will destroy the fowles of the heaven and the fishes of the sea and ruines shall be to the wicked and I will cut off man from the land saith the Lord. Note Exposition that God was not angry with those dumb creatures but because man was so wicked for whose cause they were created God maketh them to take part of the punishment with him Hold thy peace or be still Zeph. 1.7 8. at the presence of the Lord God for the day of the Lord is at hand for the Lord hath prepared a sacrifice he hath bid or sanctified his guests And it shall come to passe in the day of the Lords sacrifice that I will punish the princes and the kings children and all such as are clothed with strange apparel Who may abide the day of his coming Mal. 3.2 who shall stand when he appeareth for he is like a refiners fire and like fullers sope He sheweth Exposition that the hypocrites which did so much desire the Lords coming will not abide when he draweth near for he will consume them and purge his and make them clean as the exposition is For behold Mal. 4.1 the day cometh that shall burn as an oven and all the proud yea and all that do wickedly shall be stubble and the day that cometh shall burn them up saith the Lord of hosts and it shall leave them neither root nor branch But unto you that fear my name Mal. 4.2 shall the sun of righteousnesse arise with healing in his wings and ye shall go forth and grow up as calves of the stall Meaning Christ who with his wings or beams of his grace should lighten and comfort his Church as the exposition is Wherefore he saith Eph. 5.14 Awake thou that sleepest and rise from the dead and Christ shall give thee light Again Amos 1.14 The day of Judgement called the day of battel and the day of the whirlwind FINIS A SERMON Preached by Mr. MASTERS Master of the TEMPLE in the TEMPLE-CHURCH At the Funerall of Henry Croke Esq one of the Society of the Inner Temple February 8. 1608. LONDON Printed by Fr. Leach and are to be sold by William Lee at the Turks-head in Fleetstreet 1657. A Sermon Preached by Mr. Masters Master of the Temple in the Temple-Church Febr. 8. 1608. 2. Cor. 5.10 For we must all appear before the Judgement-seat of Christ THis Text divides it self into these five parts following Text divided The first touching the certainty and the necessity of the day of Iudgement contained in these words For we must The second concerning the generality of our appearance in these words We must all appear The third concerning the severity of this Iudgement The fourth concerning the manner thereof Before the Judgement-seat of Christ And the fifth concerning the person before whom we are to appear being Christ our Judge and Saviour Of these severally in their order First Of the certainty of the day of Iudgement and that in these three respects First above the Law as appeareth in the generall Epistle of Jude Jude 14 15. 14 15. And Enoch also the seventh from Adam prophesied of such meaning the wicked there before named Behold the Lord cometh with ten thousand of his Saints To give Judgement against all men Secondly Under the Law And Thirdly Under the Gospel as appeareth Matth. 25.31 32 33 34. Matthew 25.31 32 33 34. And when the Son of man cometh in his glory and all the holy angels with him then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory c. The Reasons hereof First To whomsoever a dispensation is given at the end there must be an account by him made and this appeareth to be so Luke 16.1 2. There was a rich man Luke 16.1 2. which had a steward and he was accused to him that he wasted his goods And he called him and said Give an account of thy stewardship Secondly As the life of man is the time of working and death is the period thereof so of necessity there must be a Iudgement and censure of every mans work with a reward thereof Again In the generality all this is to be observed that there is then to be a two-fold Iudgement that is to say First A Iudgement of condemnation Secondly A Iudgement of Declaration And this appeareth in the book of the Revelation chap. 20. ver 10 11 12 13 14. And the Devil that deceived them Rev. 20.10 11 12 13 14. was cast into a lake of fire brimstone And I saw a white throne and one that sat on it And I saw the dead small and great stand before God and the books were opened And another book was opened which is the book of life and the dead were judged of those things which were written in the books according to their works And the sea gave up her dead which were in her and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them and they were judged every man according to his works There is to be a two-fold Iudgement The one a Iudgement of dissolution for the righteous The other a Iudgement of condemnation for the wicked The first a Iudgement of dissolution or of acquittall The other a Iudgement of condemnation Reason The reason why there is to be a twofold Iudgement of the bodies and souls reunited is this The soul receiveth the first Iudgement being the first and principall actour in sin and then the body being quickned by the soul and so conjoyned and associated with the same in the acting of sin and in this respect it is requisite that there should be a second Iudgement when both body and soul might together receive their Iudgement as they had been both of them joynt actours in sin And this may serve to answer an Objection which may be made of some shew of injustice to be twice punished by two Iudgements for one and the same sin Again at our appearance there we shall be naked and where we shall be manifested

mouth The word of God is quick and powerfull Hebrews chap. 4. ver 52. and sharper than any two edged sword piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit and of the joynts and marrow and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart And he was clothed with a vesture dipt in bloud Revelation chap. 19. ver 13. and his name is called the word of God As for me Isaiah cha 29. ver 21. this is my covenant with them saith the Lord my spirit that is upon thee and my words which I have put in thy mouth shall not depart out of thy mouth nor out of the mouth of thy seed nor out of the mouth of thy seeds seed saith the Lord from henceforth and for ever Blessed are they that hear the word of God Luke chap. 11. ver 28. and keep it Receive with meeknesse James chap. 1. ver 21. the engrafted word of God which is able to save your souls Keep therefore Deuteronomy chap. 29. ver 9. the words of this covenant and do them that so ye may prosper in all that ye do As new born babes 1 Peter chap. 2. ver 2. desire the sincere milk of the word that ye may grow thereby Verily John chap. 5. ver 24. verily I say unto you he that heareth my word and believeth on him that sent me hath everlasting life and shall not come into condemnation but is passed from death to life The word of God The word of God the word of Reconciliation 2 Corinthians chap. 5. ver 18.19 called the word of Reconciliation And all things are of God who hath reconciled us to himself by Iesus Christ and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation To wit that God was in Christ reconciling the world unto himself not imputing their trespasses unto them and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation The word of God called the word of truth The word of God the word of Truth Ephesians cha 1. ver 13. In whom ye also trusted after that ye heard the word of truth the gospel of your salvation in whom also after that ye believed ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise The word of God called the word of life The word of God the word of life Philippians chap. 2. ver 16. Holding forth the word of life that I may rejoyce in the day of Christ that I have not run in vain neither laboured in vain The word called the word of Christ The word called the word of Christ Collossians chap. 3. ver 16. The word called the faithfull word of God Titus chap. 1. ver 9. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdome The word called the faithfull word of God Holding fast the faithfull word of God as he hath been taught that he may be able by sound doctrine both to exhort and to convince the gainsayers Thy word have I hid in my heart Psal 119. ver 11. and 42. that I might not sin against thee So shall I have wherewith to answer him that reprocheth me for I trust in thy word So then faith cometh by hearing Romans ch 10. ver 17. and hearing by the word of God Fourthly In our reading and hearing of the word of God and in our meditations thereon the due consideration of all this ought to stirre up in us a love unto the same and a rejoycing therein as by these ensuing places of Scripture may appear I rejoyce at thy word Psal 119. ver 162. Jeremiah cha 15. ver 16. as one that findeth great spoil Thy words were sound and I did eat them and thy word was unto me the joy and rejoycing of my heart for I am called by thy name O Lord God of hosts Lord Psal 26. ver 8. I have loved the habitation of thy house and the place where thine honour dwelleth I was glad when they said unto me Psal 122. ver 1. Let us go into the house of the Lord. For a day in thy Courts is better than a thousand Psalm 84. ver 10. I had rather be a door-keeper in the house of my God than to dwell in the tents of wickednesse O how I love thy law Psalm 119. ver 97.127 it is my meditation all the day Therefore I love thy commandements above gold yea above fine gold I delight to do thy will Psal 40. ver 8. O my God yea thy law is within my heart Fifthly These precedent observations being thus made use of by us the word of God which we have thus read heard and meditated on will then doubtlesse be a constant and a perpetuall comfort unto us at all times both in life and death Be thou faithfull unto death Revelation chap. 2. ver 10. and I will give thee a crown of life CHAP. II. Of the severall Books mentioned in the Scriptures THine eyes did see my substance Psal 139. ver 16. yet being unperfect and in thy Book all my members were written which in continuance were fashioned when as yet there was none of them Then they that feared the Lord Malachie chap. 3. ver 16 17 18. spake often one to another and the Lord hearkened and heard it and a Book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the Lord and that thought upon his name And they shall be mine The difference between the wicked and the righteous in the day of Judgment saith the Lord of hosts when I make up my Iewels and I will spare them as a man spareth his own son that serveth him Then shall ye return and discern between the righteous and the wicked between him that serveth God and him that serveth him not Thou tellest my wandrings Psal 56. ver 8. put thou my teares into thy bottle are they not in thy book And in that day shall the deaf hear the words of the book Isaiah cha 29. ver 18. Seek ye out of the book of the Lord and read Isaiah cha 34. ver 16. And at that time shall Michael stand up the great prince Daniel cha 12. ver 1. which standeth for the children of thy people and there shall be a time of trouble such as never was since there was a Nation even to that same time and at that time thy people shall be delivered every one that shall be found written in the book And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake Daniel cha 12. ver 2 3. some to everlasting life and some to shame and everlasting contempt And they that be wise shall shine as the brightnesse of the firmament and they that turn many to righteousnesse as the starres for ever and ever A fiery stream issued Daniel cha 7. ver 10. and came forth from before him thousand thousands ministred unto him and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him the Iudgement was
