the_o judge_n be_v god_n himself_o by_o jesus_n christ_n 1._o principal_o god_n as_o creator_n 2._o as_o also_o god_n as_o redeemer_n the_o humane_a nature_n of_o jesus_n christ_n have_v a_o derive_v

in_o that_o the_o judgement_n of_o the_o son_n as_o also_o his_o whole_a mediatorship_n be_v to_o bring_v man_n to_o god_n their_o maker_n as_o their_o ultimate_a end_n and_o recover_v they_o to_o he_o from_o who_o they_o be_v fall_v and_o so_o as_o a_o mean_n to_o that_o end_n the_o judgement_n of_o the_o son_n be_v subordinate_a to_o the_o father_n from_o hence_o you_o may_v see_v these_o

shall_v not_o judge_v they_o on_o that_o right_n 2._o that_o christ_n die_v for_o all_o and_o be_v the_o redeemer_n of_o the_o world_n and_o a_o sacrifice_n for_o all_o or_o else_o he_o shall_v not_o
