think_v they_o be_v safe_a to_o stumble_v and_o fall_v in_o the_o dark_a be_v a_o misfortune_n not_o a_o fault_n and_o will_v rather_o move_v pity_n and_o compassion_n than_o provoke_v revenge_n this_o make_v some_o man_n so_o regardless_o of_o knowledge_n they_o think_v god_n will_v judge_v they_o for_o no_o more_o than_o they_o know_v and_o all_o the_o good_a they_o be_v like_a to_o get_v by_o knowledge_n be_v to_o increase_v and_o aggravate_v their_o account_n i_o shall_v not_o enter_v into_o that_o dispute_n now_o which_o be_v nothing_o to_o our_o present_a purpose_n how_o far_o and_o in_o what_o case_n ignorance_n will_v excuse_v though_o i_o think_v it_o be_v very_o plain_a in_o general_n that_o as_o far_o as_o ignorance_n itself_o be_v excusable_a so_o far_o ignorance_n will_v excuse_v but_o my_o business_n at_o present_a be_v to_o show_v that_o common_o ignorance_n itself_o be_v a_o great_a crime_n and_o when_o it_o be_v so_o if_o man_n shall_v not_o be_v judge_v for_o the_o sin_n which_o they_o ignorant_o commit_v yet_o they_o shall_v be_v judge_v and_o condemn_v for_o their_o ignorance_n as_o well_o as_o ●or_a their_o sin_n against_o knowledge_n for_o be_v not_o man_n a_o reasonable_a creature_n and_o be_v not_o a_o reasonable_a creature_n as_o much_o bind_v to_o know_v his_o duty_n as_o he_o be_v to_o practice_v it_o have_v god_n give_v we_o reason_n to_o be_v the_o guide_n and_o director_n of_o our_o life_n and_o be_v it_o not_o a_o great_a crime_n not_o to_o attend_v to_o it_o not_o to_o improve_v and_o cultivate_v it_o have_v we_o eye_n in_o our_o head_n and_o be_v it_o any_o excuse_n to_o we_o that_o we_o shut_v they_o and_o lose_v our_o way_n be_v it_o any_o excuse_n to_o we_o not_o to_o know_v god_n and_o our_o duty_n to_o he_o when_o god_n have_v make_v we_o reasonable_a creature_n who_o may_v know_v their_o maker_n if_o they_o please_v and_o understand_v the_o difference_n between_o good_a and_o evil_a i_o be_o sure_a st._n paul_n by_o this_o argument_n prove_v that_o the_o heathen_n be_v inexcusable_a because_o god_n have_v implant_v such_o natural_a notion_n of_o himself_o on_o their_o mind_n and_o have_v give_v they_o so_o many_o external_a and_o visible_a demonstration_n of_o his_o power_n and_o providence_n in_o make_v and_o govern_v the_o world_n 1_o rom._n 19_o 20._o because_o that_o which_o may_v be_v know_v of_o god_n be_v manifest_a in_o they_o for_o god_n have_v show_v it_o unto_o they_o for_o the_o invisible_a thing_n of_o god_n from_o the_o creation_n of_o the_o world_n be_v daily_o see_v be_v understand_v by_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v make_v even_o his_o eternal_a power_n and_o godhead_n so_o that_o they_o be_v without_o excuse_n the_o heathen_n do_v great_o err_v both_o in_o the_o knowledge_n and_o worship_n of_o god_n they_o be_v convince_v by_o the_o natural_a sense_n of_o their_o mind_n and_o by_o the_o work_v of_o creation_n that_o there_o be_v a_o god_n and_o therefore_o they_o be_v say_v to_o know_v god_n 21_o v_o and_o by_o the_o same_o way_n they_o may_v have_v know_v that_o god_n who_o make_v the_o world_n be_v not_o like_a to_o gold_n and_o silver_n or_o the_o work_n of_o man_n hand_n to_o image_n make_v like_a to_o corruptible_a man_n or_o to_o bird_n and_o four_o footed_a beast_n and_o creep_a thing_n and_o therefore_o though_o they_o be_v real_o ignorant_a of_o the_o nature_n of_o god_n and_o have_v entertain_v very_o gross_a imagination_n of_o the_o deity_n yet_o they_o be_v without_o excuse_n because_o god_n be_v to_o be_v know_v by_o reason_n and_o nature_n and_o therefore_o a_o reasonable_a creature_n who_o live_v in_o a_o world_n which_o have_v the_o visible_a mark_n of_o infinite_a wisdom_n and_o power_n on_o it_o can_v never_o be_v excuse_v for_o not_o know_v god_n that_o be_v to_o say_v nothing_o will_v excuse_v our_o ignorance_n of_o that_o which_o we_o may_v know_v and_o which_o we_o ought_v to_o know_v but_o if_o the_o heathen_n be_v so_o inexcusable_a for_o their_o ignorance_n of_o god_n who_o have_v no_o other_o help_n but_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n and_o the_o visible_a work_n of_o god_n to_o be_v sure_a ignorance_n must_v be_v a_o great_a crime_n in_o those_o who_o live_v where_o the_o gospel_n be_v preach_v and_o may_v read_v the_o word_n of_o god_n themselves_o if_o they_o please_v and_o learn_v their_o duty_n from_o it_o god_n know_v a_o great_a many_o very_a ignorant_a people_n there_o be_v among_o we_o who_o know_v little_o more_o of_o god_n than_o the_o heathen_n do_v who_o sit_v in_o darkness_n and_o in_o the_o valley_n of_o the_o shadow_n of_o death_n in_o the_o very_a region_n of_o light_n when_o the_o day_n spring_n from_o on_o high_a have_v visit_v we_o to_o give_v light_n to_o they_o that_o sit_v in_o darkness_n and_o in_o the_o shadow_n of_o death_n and_o to_o guide_v our_o foot_n into_o the_o way_n of_o peace_n will_v it_o not_o be_v a_o impudent_a thing_n for_o such_o man_n to_o plead_v ignorance_n at_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n who_o will_v not_o look_v into_o the_o bible_n nor_o attend_v public_a instruction_n to_o learn_v their_o duty_n who_o have_v the_o mean_n and_o opportunity_n of_o knowledge_n but_o will_v not_o use_v they_o who_o take_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o pain_n to_o be_v ignorant_a and_o to_o keep_v out_o of_o the_o way_n of_o knowledge_n which_o so_o often_o cross_v they_o that_o they_o have_v much_o ado_n to_o escape_v it_o whatever_o may_v be_v plead_v in_o excuse_n of_o the_o ignorance_n of_o heathen_n there_o can_v be_v no_o excuse_n for_o christian_n who_o have_v the_o most_o perfect_a revelation_n of_o the_o will_n of_o god_n and_o will_v not_o look_v into_o it_o this_o be_v a_o great_a contempt_n of_o god_n it_o be_v in_o effect_n to_o say_v to_o god_n depart_v from_o we_o for_o we_o desire_v not_o the_o knowledge_n of_o thy_o way_n 21_o job_n 14._o and_o it_o be_v hard_o to_o say_v which_o be_v the_o most_o provoke_a sin_n to_o despise_v the_o knowledge_n of_o god_n or_o to_o break_v his_o law_n not_o to_o think_v it_o worth_a our_o while_n to_o know_v the_o will_n of_o god_n or_o through_o the_o power_n of_o temptation_n to_o transgress_v their_o duty_n and_o this_o be_v the_o danger_n we_o be_v in_o if_o we_o neglect_v or_o reject_v the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o gospel_n our_o ignorance_n will_v be_v our_o great_a crime_n it_o will_v be_v so_o far_o from_o excuse_v our_o wickedness_n that_o it_o will_v aggravate_v it_o for_o we_o choose_v to_o be_v ignorant_a that_o we_o may_v be_v wicked_a and_o therefore_o it_o concern_v we_o diligent_o to_o read_v and_o study_v the_o scripture_n and_o to_o attend_v upon_o the_o public_a ministry_n of_o the_o word_n and_o the_o private_a instruction_n and_o direction_n of_o our_o spiritual_a guide_n for_o since_o christ_n come_v from_o heaven_n to_o declare_v the_o will_n of_o god_n and_o have_v put_v the_o holy_a scripture_n into_o our_o hand_n which_o be_v a_o perfect_a rule_n of_o faith_n and_o manner_n and_o furnish_v we_o with_o all_o the_o advantage_n to_o increase_v in_o knowledge_n it_o be_v as_o dangerous_a a_o thing_n to_o be_v wilful_o ignorant_a of_o the_o gospel_n as_o it_o be_v to_o disobey_v it_o ii_o as_o man_n shall_v be_v judge_v for_o their_o ignorance_n so_o they_o shall_v be_v judge_v for_o their_o infidelity_n this_o be_v so_o plain_a in_o scripture_n that_o it_o needs_o little_a proof_n our_o saviour_n express_o tell_v we_o he_o that_o believe_v on_o he_o that_o be_v on_o the_o son_n of_o god_n who_o god_n send_v into_o the_o world_n that_o the_o world_n through_o he_o may_v be_v save_v be_v not_o condemn_v but_o he_o that_o believe_v not_o be_v condemn_v already_o because_o he_o have_v not_o believe_v in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o only_o beget_v son_n of_o god_n and_o this_o be_v the_o condemnation_n that_o light_n be_v come_v into_o the_o world_n and_o man_n love_v darkness_n rather_o than_o light_n because_o their_o deed_n be_v evil_a 3_o john_n 17_o 18_o 19_o this_o our_o saviour_n frequent_o inculcate_n on_o the_o jew_n that_o unless_o they_o believe_v on_o he_o they_o must_v die_v and_o perish_v in_o their_o sin_n and_o we_o know_v the_o jew_n be_v reject_v by_o god_n for_o their_o infidelity_n their_o temple_n and_o city_n and_o nation_n destroy_v by_o the_o roman_n and_o they_o disperse_v and_o scatter_v among_o all_o nation_n to_o this_o day_n and_o our_o saviour_n after_o his_o resurrection_n when_o he_o give_v commission_n to_o his_o apostle_n to_o go_v into_o all_o the_o world_n and_o to_o preach_v the_o gospel_n to_o every_o creature_n universal_o pronounce_v he_o that_o believe_v and_o be_v baptize_v shall_v be_v save_v but_o he_o that_o believe_v not_o shall_v be_v damn_v

it_o can_v continue_v so_o much_o long_o there_o be_v some_o prophecy_n to_o be_v accomplish_v still_o but_o how_o soon_o they_o may_v be_v accomplish_v we_o know_v not_o no_o man_n question_n but_o that_o the_o world_n now_o grow_v to_o a_o end_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v time_n for_o every_o man_n to_o think_v of_o eternity_n chap._n iii_o who_o shall_v be_v our_o judge_n viz._n the_o man_n christ_n jesus_n iii_o let_v we_o now_o consider_v who_o shall_v be_v our_o judge_n that_o man_n who_o he_o have_v ordain_v whereof_o he_o have_v give●_n assurance_n unto_o all_o man_n in_o that_o he_o have_v raise_v he_o from_o the_o dead_a where_o be_v two_o thing_n to_o be_v consider_v first_o the_o person_n who_o be_v to_o judge_v we_o second_o what_o assurance_n we_o have_v that_o he_o shall_v be_v our_o judge_n first_o the_o person_n who_o be_v to_o judge_v we_o that_o man_n who_o he_o have_v ordain_v that_o be_v the_o man_n christ_n jesus_n for_o thus_o both_o christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n assure_v we_o that_o god_n have_v appoint_v he_o to_o be_v the_o judge_n of_o the_o world_n the_o father_n judge_v no_o man_n but_o have_v commit_v all_o judgement_n to_o the_o son_n 5_o john_n 22._o the_o son_n of_o man_n shall_v come_v in_o the_o glory_n of_o his_o father_n with_o his_o angel_n and_o then_o shall_v he_o reward_v every_o man_n according_a to_o his_o work_n 16_o matth._n 27._o thus_o st._n peter_n assure_v cornelius_n concern_v christ_n 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 by_o god_n to_o be_v the_o judge_n of_o quick_a and_o dead_a 10_o act_n 42._o but_o there_o be_v no_o need_n to_o multiply_v text_n in_o so_o plain_a a_o case_n it_o be_v of_o more_o concernment_n to_o inquire_v why_o christ_n who_o be_v the_o eternal_a son_n of_o god_n and_o a_o god_n incarnate_a when_o he_o be_v speak_v of_o as_o judge_n of_o the_o world_n be_v most_o usual_o describe_v as_o a_o man_n or_o the_o son_n of_o man_n thus_o he_o be_v that_o man_n who_o god_n have_v ordain_v and_o the_o son_n of_o man_n nay_o christ_n himself_o tell_v we_o for_o this_o reason_n god_n have_v give_v he_o authority_n to_o execute_v judgement_n because_o he_o be_v the_o son_n of_o man_n 5_o john_n 27._o now_o the_o reason_n why_o our_o saviour_n be_v describe_v as_o a_o man_n and_o the_o son_n of_o man_n when_o he_o come_v to_o judgement_n be_v because_o he_o shall_v visible_o appear_v in_o humane_a nature_n to_o judge_v the_o world_n and_o therefore_o will_v be_v and_o will_v appear_v as_o much_o a_o man_n as_o he_o do_v when_o he_o dwell_v on_o earth_n though_o he_o will_v appear_v also_o more_o like_o a_o god_n thus_o the_o prophet_n daniel_n describe_v it_o he_o see_v in_o the_o night-vision_n and_o behold_v one_o like_o the_o son_n of_o man_n come_v with_o the_o cloud_n of_o heaven_n and_o come_v to_o the_o ancient_a of_o day_n and_o they_o bring_v he_o near_o before_o he_o and_o there_o be_v give_v he_o dominion_n and_o glory_n and_o a_o kingdom_n that_o all_o people_n nation_n and_o language_n shall_v serve_v he_o his_o dominion_n be_v a_o everlasting_a dominion_n which_o shall_v not_o pass_v away_o and_o his_o kingdom_n that_o which_o shall_v not_o be_v destroy_v 7_o dan._n 13_o 14._o it_o be_v the_o son_n of_o man_n who_o have_v this_o glory_n and_o kingdom_n give_v he_o and_o which_o he_o must_v administer_v as_o the_o son_n of_o man._n and_o this_o seem_v the_o true_a reason_n why_o our_o saviour_n so_o often_o call_v himself_o the_o son_n of_o man_n not_o as_o some_o imagine_v with_o respect_n to_o the_o mean_a circumstance_n of_o his_o appearance_n in_o the_o world_n for_o this_o phrase_n the_o son_n of_o man_n no_o where_o in_o scripture_n relate_v to_o such_o a_o external_a meanness_n and_o poverty_n as_o distinguish_v one_o man_n from_o another_o but_o it_o either_o signify_v no_o more_o than_o a_o man_n 18._o or_o it_o respect_v the_o common_a weakness_n of_o humane_a nature_n 6._o and_o when_o this_o name_n be_v apply_v to_o any_o particular_a person_n 17._o it_o be_v never_o use_v of_o mean_a man_n 3_o but_o always_o of_o prince_n or_o prophet_n 1._o but_o by_o this_o title_n of_o the_o son_n of_o man_n our_o saviour_n give_v we_o to_o understand_v that_o he_o be_v that_o great_a and_o extraordinary_a person_n know_v by_o the_o name_n of_o the_o son_n of_o man_n in_o daniel_n vision_n who_o god_n have_v ordain_v to_o be_v the_o lord_n and_o judge_n of_o the_o world_n but_o i_o shall_v not_o pass_v over_o this_o argument_n thus_o but_o shall_v more_o particular_o consider_v the_o great_a wisdom_n of_o this_o how_o necessary_a congruous_a and_o fit_v it_o be_v that_o the_o son_n of_o man_n shall_v judge_v the_o world_n which_o will_v suggest_v a_o great_a many_o useful_a meditation_n to_o we_o now_o i_o shall_v reduce_v what_o i_o have_v to_o say_v to_o these_o two_o head_n 1._o that_o it_o be_v very_o fit_v and_o necessary_a that_o the_o saviour_n of_o mankind_n shall_v be_v their_o judge_n also_o 2._o and_o therefore_o that_o the_o man_n christ_n jesus_n who_o be_v the_o saviour_n of_o the_o world_n shall_v judge_v it_o i._o that_o it_o be_v very_o fit_v and_o necessary_a that_o the_o saviour_n of_o mankind_n shall_v be_v their_o judge_n also_o and_o that_o upon_o two_o account_n 1._o because_o the_o authority_n to_o judge_n be_v essential_a to_o the_o notion_n and_o authority_n of_o a_o saviour_n to_o save_v sinner_n signify_v to_o save_v they_o from_o their_o sin_n which_o be_v the_o true_a interpretation_n of_o the_o name_n jesus_n 1_o matt._n 20._o and_o to_o save_v they_o from_o their_o sin_n be_v to_o deliver_v they_o from_o the_o punishment_n of_o sin_n that_o be_v from_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n from_o the_o curse_n of_o the_o law_n from_o death_n and_o hell_n to_o raise_v they_o from_o the_o dead_a and_o to_o bestow_v immortal_a life_n on_o they_o now_o there_o be_v several_a act_n must_v concur_v to_o perfect_v this_o salvation_n but_o the_o last_o conclude_v and_o finish_v act_n be_v judgement_n and_o he_o only_o be_v a_o complete_a and_o perfect_a saviour_n who_o have_v authority_n to_o judge_n to_o pardon_n and_o to_o reward_n god_n be_v a_o holy_a and_o pure_a be_v and_o can_v never_o be_v reconcile_v to_o sinner_n till_o they_o be_v renew_v and_o sanctify_a which_o make_v it_o necessary_a for_o the_o saviour_n of_o the_o world_n to_o instruct_v mankind_n in_o their_o duty_n and_o by_o the_o power_n of_o his_o grace_n to_o change_v their_o nature_n and_o make_v they_o holy_a as_o god_n be_v since_o without_o holiness_n no_o man_n shall_v see_v god_n and_o therefore_o he_o must_v be_v a_o great_a prophet_n and_o preacher_n of_o righteousness_n to_o turn_v man_n from_o darkness_n unto_o light_n and_o from_o the_o power_n of_o satan_n unto_o god_n god_n be_v a_o very_a righteous_a judge_n and_o have_v threaten_v death_n against_o sin_n and_o therefore_o the_o saviour_n of_o sinner_n must_v make_v atonement_n and_o expiation_n for_o sin_n must_v deliver_v we_o from_o the_o curse_n of_o the_o law_n by_o be_v make_v a_o curse_n for_o we_o that_o be_v must_v be_v our_o priest_n and_o our_o sacrifice_n must_v die_v for_o our_o sin_n and_o intercede_v for_o we_o with_o god_n but_o all_o this_o while_n a_o sinner_n be_v not_o save_v till_o he_o be_v final_o acquit_v and_o absolve_v till_o he_o be_v actual_o deliver_v from_o the_o curse_n of_o the_o law_n and_o possess_v of_o eternal_a life_n and_o glory_n all_o thing_n else_o be_v only_o preparatory_a act_n but_o the_o final_a judgement_n perfect_v our_o salvation_n for_o he_o who_o final_o pardon_n and_o bestow_v heaven_n on_o we_o be_v our_o saviour_n christ_n may_v have_v be_v our_o prophet_n our_o priest_n and_o our_o sacrifice_n without_o be_v our_o judge_n but_o he_o can_v not_o have_v be_v our_o saviour_n without_o it_o and_o therefore_o after_o christ_n resurrection_n from_o the_o dead_a after_o he_o have_v preach_v the_o gospel_n and_o die_v upon_o the_o cross_n to_o expiate_v our_o sin_n he_o tell_v his_o disciple_n all_o power_n be_v give_v unto_o i_o both_o in_o heaven_n and_o in_o earth_n 28_o matth._n and_o st._n peter_n tell_v the_o sanhedrim_n him_n have_v god_n exalt_v with_o his_o right_a hand_n to_o be_v a_o prince_n and_o a_o saviour_n to_o give_v repentance_n to_o israel_n and_o forgiveness_n of_o sin_n 5_o act_n 31._o so_o that_o he_o save_v by_o power_n he_o be_v our_o saviour_n and_o our_o prince_n and_o this_o power_n be_v the_o reward_n of_o his_o obedience_n and_o suffering_n therefore_o god_n have_v high_o exalt_v he_o and_o give_v he_o a_o name_n which_o be_v above_o every_o name_n
