be_v and_z according_o all_o man_n be_v reserve_v for_o it_o it_o be_v the_o latter_a of_o these_o statute_n then_o that_o i_o be_o now_o to_o treat_v of_o though_o with_o that_o respect_n as_o it_o

be_v the_o first_o and_o most_o proper_a signification_n of_o the_o word_n 2._o the_o time_n when_o it_o shall_v be_v after_o that_o man_n die_v and_o although_o we_o be_v not_o tell_v how_o loon_n it_o shall_v be_v after_o yet_o we_o have_v scripture_n warrant_v to_o conclude_v that_o every_o one_o personal_a judgement_n will_v follow_v present_o upon_o it_o though_o the_o great_a and_o general_a judgement_n be_v reserve_v until_o the_o consummation_n of_o all_o thing_n as_o will_v be_v far_o observe_v anon_o 3._o the_o subject_n of_o it_o or_o who_o they_o be_v on_o who_o this_o judgement_n shall_v pass_v man_n indefinite_o express_v it_o intend_v all_o man_n this_o judgement_n be_v as_o extensive_a as_o death_n yea_o there_o have_v be_v &_o will_v be_v some_o exception_n from_o the_o general_a rule_n about_o death_n who_o have_v be_v translate_v or_o shall_v be_v change_v but_o even_o these_o also_o shall_v come_v to_o the_o judgement_n hence_o doctrine_n a_o certain_a death_n shall_v be_v follow_v with_o as_o certain_a a_o judgement_n it_o be_v every_o whit_n as_o certain_a that_o man_n shall_v come_v unto_o judgement_n as_o that_o they_o shall_v die_v that_o every_o one_o must_v die_v soon_o or_o late_a be_v a_o acknowledge_a truth_n by_o all_o and_o prove_v by_o universal_a experience_n though_o oh_o how_o few_o do_v improve_v it_o to_o good_a purpose_n and_o a_o reason_n why_o this_o truth_n have_v no_o more_o proper_a or_o suitable_a impression_n on_o man_n mind_n may_v be_v because_o either_o they_o believe_v not_o or_o put_v from_o

they_o which_o must_v needs_o make_v they_o unconcerned_a for_o that_o which_o come_v after_o but_o here_o we_o be_v lead_v into_o the_o contemplation_n of_o a_o more_o awful_a truth_n which_o be_v no_o less_o real_a though_o not_o so_o obvious_a to_o the_o sense_n i_o shall_v not_o at_o present_a enter_v upon_o any_o distinct_a or_o methodical_a discourse_n about_o this_o matter_n but_o only_o make_v some_o cursory_a glance_n on_o it_o there_o be_v therefore_o three_o or_o four_o brief_a observation_n which_o i_o shall_v make_v on_o this_o truth_n to_o make_v it_o practicable_a 1._o that_o there_o be_v a_o future_a judgement_n to_o which_o all_o reasonable_a creature_n shall_v be_v call_v how_o far_o the_o doctrine_n of_o a_o future_a judgement_n have_v be_v entertain_v by_o the_o

article_n of_o faith_n commend_v to_o we_o by_o the_o infallible_a oracle_n of_o that_o god_n who_o cannot_o or_o be_v mistake_v be_v write_v with_o sun_n beam_n in_o his_o word_n read_v for_o this_o eccles_n 12._o 14._o god_n will_v bring_v every_o work_n into_o judgement_n with_o every_o secret_a thing_n whether_o it_o be_v good_a or_o evil_n act_n 17._o 31._o he_o have_v appoint_v a_o day_n in_o which_o he_o will_v judge_v the_o world_n in_o righteousness_n by_o the_o man_n who_o he_o have_v appoint_v 2_o cor._n 5._o 10._o we_o must_v all_o appear_v before_o the_o judgement_n seat_n of_o christ_n that_o ●u●ry_a one_o may_v receive_v the_o thing_n do_v in_o the_o body_n and_o we_o have_v a_o description_n of_o it_o give_v to_o we_o by_o christ_n himself_o in_o math._n 25._o 33_o to_o end_v and_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v so_o for_z there_o be_v a_o special_a government_n of_o god_n to_o be_v acknowledge_v in_o the_o managment_n whereof_o he_o will_v bring_v all_o reasonable_a creature_n to_o a_o everlasting_a state_n of_o happiness_n or_o misery_n according_a to_o their_o obedience_n or_o disobedience_n to_o the_o law_n of_o that_o government_n in_o prosecution_n whereof_o he_o will_v display_v the_o glory_n of_o his_o justice_n and_o grace_n god_n deal_v with_o his_o creature_n in_o his_o government_n according_a to_o the_o nature_n which_o he_o see_v meet_v to_o bestow_v on_o they_o in_o their_o creation_n now_o when_o god_n create_v man_n he_o make_v he_o a_o reasonable_a creature_n and_o thereby_o capable_a of_o be_v treat_v in_o the_o way_n of_o a_o covenant_n by_o precept_n and_o promise_n and_o threaten_n according_o unto_o which_o capacity_n he_o give_v he_o a_o command_n and_o require_v his_o obedience_n to_o it_o promise_v he_o a_o reward_n of_o life_n in_o case_n of_o his_o perform_n of_o perfect_a obedience_n thereunto_o denounce_v death_n against_o he_o in_o case_n he_o shall_v disobey_v he_o have_v also_o upon_o man_n apostasy_n by_o which_o he_o fall_v under_o a_o curse_n of_o death_n reveal_v to_o he_o a_o new_a and_o a_o live_a way_n for_o his_o recovery_n out_o of_o that_o misery_n into_o which_o he_o be_v plunge_v and_o have_v treat_v some_o of_o that_o race_n with_o a_o covenant_n of_o grace_n in_o which_o he_o have_v promise_v they_o life_n upon_o their_o compliance_n with_o it_o and_o menace_v they_o with_o damnation_n yea_o double_a damnation_n on_o their_o neglect_n of_o it_o all_o these_o thing_n be_v abundant_o testify_v to_o in_o the_o word_n of_o god_n now_o man_n be_v according_a to_o their_o behaviour_n with_o respect_n to_o this_o discovery_n which_o god_n have_v make_v of_o himself_o to_o man_n and_o obligation_n which_o he_o have_v lay_v he_o under_o dispose_v of_o everlasting_o in_o order_n unto_o which_o they_o be_v to_o pass_v under_o a_o trial._n where_o there_o be_v a_o law_n give_v to_o reasonable_a creature_n establish_v with_o sanction_n there_o must_v needs_o be_v a_o judgement_n in_o which_o their_o relation_n thereto_o be_v to_o be_v examine_v and_o a_o retribution_n make_v to_o they_o according_o either_o they_o have_v comply_v with_o the_o rule_n give_v to_o they_o and_o be_v to_o receive_v a_o reward_n of_o life_n or_o they_o have_v revolt_v therefrom_o &_o have_v not_o seek_v and_o make_v their_o peace_n according_a to_o the_o tenor_n of_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n and_o then_o they_o must_v receive_v the_o wage_n of_o sin_n which_o be_v death_n as_o we_o be_v tell_v rom._n 6._o 23._o the_o wage_n of_o sin_n be_v death_n he_o therefore_o that_o acknowledge_v a_o government_n of_o god_n over_o rational_a being_n must_v needs_o believe_v that_o there_o shall_v be_v a_o judgement_n or_o a_o time_n of_o trial_n and_o recompense_n ii_o that_o this_o judgement_n be_v after_o death_n this_o be_v the_o order_n that_o it_o be_v manifest_o put_v in_o text._n that_o there_o be_v many_o awful_a and_o stupendous_a judgement_n that_o god_n bring_v upon_o man_n in_o this_o world_n be_v not_o to_o be_v deny_v in_o which_o he_o declare_v his_o holiness_n and_o just_a indignation_n at_o sin_n and_o hence_o we_o be_v tell_v psal_n 9_o 14._o the_o lord_n be_v know_v by_o the_o judgement_n that_o he_o execute_v there_o be_v also_o a_o court_n which_o god_n have_v set_v up_o in_o man_n conscience_n at_o which_o bar_n they_o be_v sometime_o solemn_o try_v and_o be_v there_o convict_v of_o break_v the_o holy_a law_n of_o god_n &_o lay_v themselves_o open_a to_o the_o vengeance_n therein_o threaten_v they_o be_v fill_v with_o horror_n but_o it_o be_v another_o judgement_n whereof_o we_o be_v now_o consider_v in_o which_o man_n be_v to_o appear_v before_o god_n and_o receive_v from_o he_o their_o final_a doom_n which_o when_o it_o be_v once_o past_a shall_v be_v immediate_o put_v in_o execution_n now_o this_o man_n come_v not_o to_o in_o this_o life_n but_o after_o they_o be_v dead_a so_o that_o death_n be_v not_o as_o too_o many_o vain_o dream_n the_o last_o news_n that_o shall_v be_v hear_v of_o man_n but_o there_o be_v something_o more_o fearful_a and_o amaze_a that_o come_v after_o it_o and_o that_o be_v the_o
