a cup of spirituall Judgement in the other hand and drinks deep of it for God gives him over to blindnesse of mind to hardnesse of heart c. Now of all plagues and Judgements which are inflicted upon sinners these spirituall Judgements though they be secret and insensible yet are most fearfull Deut. 28.28 Rom. 1.28 3. The wicked have many stinges and terrors of Conscience that the world takes noe notice of which makes their earthly delights and pleasures bitter unto them Prov. 14.13 4. Whereas the goodnesse of God should leade and allure ungodly men to repentance because it hath not this effect in them therefore it deprives them of excuse Rom. 2.4 5. The prosperitie of the wicked is short and uncertaine but their ruine and destruction is certaine and inevitable Joh. 20.5 8. and 21.17 Pfal 73.18 19 20. and 129.6 Pov. 10.25 Eccles 8.12 13. 2 Thes 5.3 6. The present prosperitie of ungodly men makes way to their heavier Judgement and damnation the longer they are spared the neerer is the cup both of temporall and eternall Judgement unto them and the deeper shall they drink of it Rom. 2.5 Jam. 1.2 3. Deut. 32.35 and Psalm 7.11 12 13. Q. How are we to conceive of that part of divine providence which beginneth when this life is ended how will God deale with the Godly and with the wicked in the world to come A. In the world to come God will manifest his exact Justice in punishing the wicked and his mercie and fidelitie in rewarding the righteous partly at death and partly at the last Judgement The Scripture teacheth that the Lord hath made the wicked for the day of evill Now both the day of death and the day of Judgement are evill dayes to the wicked but good and joyfull dayes to the godly Rom. 2.6 Psalm 62.12 Psalm 58.11 Prov. 16.4 Q. Tell me more particularly how doth God deale with the godly at death A. The godly when they goe out of this world shall carrie none of their Calamities and Miseries with them but they shall rest from all their afflictions sorrowes and labours and their good workes shall follow them When the righteous die their Soules are carryed immediately by the Angels into Abrams bosome and their bodyes shall rest in their Graves as in perfumed Beds till the last day Rev. 14.13 Luk. 16.22 and 23.43 Isa 57.2 Q. What shall be the estate of the wicked which prosper here at Death A. The wicked when they goe out of this world shall carry none of their Riches Honours and pleasures with them but instead of these they shall carry a Bundle of their Sins their Transgressions shall follow them The wicked that prosper flourish here are like unto Sheep or Kine that are put into fat pastures to be prepared for the shambles for when they die their Soules are sent immediately to Hell and their bodies are carryed to the darke dungeon of the Grave and their Soules and bodies being thus separated Death shall feed upon their Bodies and the Worme that never dyeth shall feed upon their Soules Psal 49.17 Jer. 12.3 Luk 16.22 23.

How are we to conceive of the third and last which is not the least part of divine providence how will God deale with the Godly and with the wicked at the great day of Judgement A. The great day of Judgement will be a day of triumph and of perfect redemption to the godly but a day of wrath and of eternall perdition to the wicked Now the Justice of God seemes to be observed in the present prosperitie of the wicked and the many pressures of the righteous but then the exact Justice of God shall be declared and manifested to all the world Now many particular Judgements of God are so secret and hidden that we are not able to give a sufficient reason of them but then the wisedome and Justice of secretest dispensations shall appeare to men and Angels Now the godly are counted miserable but then their happinesse will appeare to all the world when they shall heare that sweet Sentence Come ye blessed of my Father inherit the Kingdome prepared for you from the foundation of the world Now the wicked are counted and called happy but then the miserable cursed condition of the wicked shall appeare to all the world when they shall heare that dreadfull Sentence Depart from me ye cursed into everlasting fire prepared for the Divell and his Angels Luk. 21.28 Job 21.30 2 Pet. 3.7 2 Thes 1.4 5 6.

Psal 49.14 Q. Is it not a thing incredible that those bodies which have been dead many hundred yeares should be raised out of the dust and live againe A.

Heb. 11.35 Joh. 5.28 29. Q. Expresse this more particularly What is the true cause of the Resurrection of the godly A.
