now_o be_v manifest_v to_o all_o man_n and_o angel_n before_o he_o enter_v upon_o the_o judgement_n as_o we_o see_v be_v do_v by_o earthly_a judge_n 2._o the_o clothing_n of_o the_o humane_a nature_n with_o unsearchable_a glory_n and_o majesty_n above_o the_o glory_n of_o all_o man_n and_o angel_n which_o glory_n our_o saviour_n call_v the_o glory_n of_o his_o father_n when_o he_o say_v he_o shall_v come_v in_o the_o glory_n of_o his_o father_n matth._n 16._o 27._o 3._o the_o attendance_n of_o thousand_o thousand_o of_o angel_n that_o shall_v show_v themselves_o in_o the_o perfection_n

of_o the_o preparation_n of_o the_o judge_n the_o preparation_n in_o respect_n of_o the_o judge_v have_v likewise_o four_o thing_n viz._n 1._o the_o citation_n of_o the_o world_n to_o come_v to_o

the_o begin_n of_o the_o world_n cite_v man_n to_o appear_v before_o the_o judgement_n seat_n of_o god_n henoch_n begin_v before_o the_o flood_n jude_n 15._o and_o other_o follow_v in_o every_o age_n as_o have_v be_v show_v before_o second_o by_o the_o ministry_n of_o christ_n himself_o and_o the_o apostle_n and_o the_o ordinary_a ministry_n of_o the_o preacher_n of_o the_o gospel_n in_o all_o the_o age_n under_o the_o gospel_n till_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n now_o the_o last_o summons_n be_v this_o which_o shall_v be_v give_v at_o that_o instant_n when_o christ_n be_v come_v in_o the_o cloud_n of_o heaven_n and_o set_v in_o his_o throne_n and_o this_o shall_v be_v perform_v by_o a_o shout_n from_o heaven_n and_o by_o the_o sound_n of_o the_o last_o trumpet_n this_o cry_n or_o

he_o that_o employ_v the_o ministry_n of_o man_n to_o call_v the_o world_n to_o repentance_n in_o this_o life_n will_v use_v the_o ministry_n of_o angel_n to_o bring_v those_o man_n to_o judgement_n especial_o such_o as_o have_v not_o repent_v of_o their_o evil_a way_n 2._o the_o resurtection_n of_o the_o dead_a under_o which_o i_o comprehend_v the_o change_n of_o the_o live_n for_o upon_o this_o
