cease_v to_o sin_n if_o they_o have_v live_v for_o ever_o 2._o the_o greatness_n of_o a_o sin_n must_v not_o be_v measure_v by_o the_o time_n in_o which_o it_o be_v act_v but_o by_o the_o person_n against_o who_o it_o be_v commit_v now_o man_n sin_n against_o god_n who_o be_v infinite_a and_o therefore_o justice_n require_v a_o portion_n between_o the_o offence_n and_o the_o punishment_n though_o sin_n be_v temporary_a yet_o it_o be_v most_o just_a with_o god_n to_o punish_v it_o with_o eternal_a torment_n and_o so_o much_o for_o the_o four_o point_n i_o proceed_v to_o the_o five_o by_o who_o god_n will_v judge_v by_o that_o man_n who_o he_o have_v ordain_v say_v the_o text._n and_o this_o man_n can_v be_v no_o other_o but_o the_o man_n christ_n jesus_n 1_o tim._n 2.5_o so_o saint_n peter_n preach_v and_o christ_n command_v he_o and_o the_o rest_n of_o his_o apostle_n to_o preach_v so_o act._n 10.42_o and_o he_o command_v we_o to_o preach_v unto_o the_o people_n and_o to_o testify_v that_o it_o be_v he_o which_o be_v ordain_v of_o god_n to_o be_v the_o judge_n of_o quick_a and_o dead_a if_o respect_n be_v have_v to_o the_o power_n and_o authority_n of_o judge_v then_o to_o judge_v we_o do_v belong_v to_o the_o whole_a trinity_n and_o that_o equal_o as_o i_o say_v before_o but_o if_o respect_n be_v have_v to_o the_o administration_n of_o judgement_n and_o the_o visible_a act_n of_o judge_v then_o to_o judge_v we_o do_v belong_v to_o christ_n only_o for_o he_o only_o shall_v be_v see_v to_o descend_v with_o a_o guard_n of_o angel_n to_o open_v the_o

uncomfortable_a dismission_n of_o reprobate_n into_o that_o lake_n which_o burn_v with_o fire_n and_o brimstone_n before_o the_o throne_n of_o god_n for_o ever_o and_o ever_o thus_o you_o see_v christ_n shall_v be_v the_o immediate_a manager_n and_o administrator_n of_o judgement_n the_o scripture_n be_v plentiful_a in_o the_o proof_n of_o it_o wherein_o he_o be_v call_v the_o wise_a

the_o son_n of_o man_n shall_v have_v such_o power_n to_o judge_v you_o must_v consider_v that_o he_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n also_o and_o at_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n he_o shall_v mighty_o
