how then will hee as it were fell and hew downe sinners when he shall come to iudge his people In the Reuelation dilectus iudicis Iohn the Disciple whom Iesus loued fell on his face Reuel visione iudicis when hee saw his iudge but in a vision how great then will be the fall of those that loue not God when they shall both see and feele him in his most rigorous and seuerest action Cyprian Saint Cyprian is said so much to feare diem iudicii the day of iudgement that he cleane forgate diem Martirii the day of his martyrdome and earthly torment and no maruell neither for timor mortis nihil ad timorem iudicis the feare of a temporall death is nothing to the feare of him that hath power of eternall life and death And if they be in such a maze ad quos iudex vnto whom and for whose glorie the iudge shall come how then will they stand amazed contra quos iudex against whom and for whose eternall shame and paine the iudge shall come But because my houres are spent and I am not as Iosua was able to stay the Sunne I will but perore of the Iudgement in a word and so commit you to him that must bee our iudge euen our God You haue heard first of the day time of iudgment how though some would haue it in the day some in the night some at midnight some in one some in another watch of the night yet latet dies hora that day and houre is not knowne that wee might expect it euery houre both of day and night Secondly you heard that God should iudge and then since many were called Gods that Deus vniuersi the GOD of the whole world should iudge the world and thirdly that since in this one God there were three persons that God the Father had committed the iudgment to his Sonne the second person and fourthly since in this second person there were two natures a diuine a humane nature you heard that hee should iudge humanum genus S. August all mankinde in his humanitie otherwise periret humanum genus si iudex non esset humanus all men of euery kinde might perish if the iudge should not be humane and kinde Thirdly you heard of the comming of this iudge and therein two things First the certaintie of his comming and that in respect of GOD in respect of Man in respect of Christ who is God and Man Secondly the vicinitie of his comming non inslat sed extat iudicium the iudgement is not neere but euen so neere that now is the iudgement of this world Fourthly you heard of the iudgement it selfe and there first the multiplicitie of iudgement secondly the qualitie of this iudgement thirdly the forerunners and lastly the followers of this iudgement Lastly in the iudgement you heard of the order by which God would proceed it was quaerendo visitando he will demaund aske and visite and there I obserued two things Quid what hee would demaund Et quos and who they were that he would visite In those that must bee iudged I noted three things First they shall not know what to doe secondly they shal not know what to answere and thirdly since they haue sinned against him that must bee their iudge they shall not know what to answere him For the summes of our sinnes are great and we cannot crosse or cancell the hand-writing which is against vs and therfore blessed Iesus naile this hand-writing vnto thy crosse and the more thou seest our miseries to be so much the more remember that we need thy great mercie It was thy pleasure to weepe ouer Lazarus and sweet Iesus let it please thee to giue vnto vs gratiam lacrimarum true penitentiall teares to wash our sores that are poore Lazares ouer-spred with sinne Vnto Lazarus thou saidest veni foras Lazarus come forth so vouchsafe deere Iesus to say to vs and call vs forth of that sinne wherein wee lye stinking like rottennes corruption and the graue Dauid professed that he was mundus a sanguine free and cleare from the bloud of Abner but gracious Iesus let vs be mundi per sanguinem clensed purged by thy most precious bloud S August For we haue no other refuge but to flie ab irato deo ad placatum Reuel from Christ as hee shall bee our iudge to Christ as he is yet our Iesus Veni domine Iesu Come Lord Iesus come quickly Yet come not as a rigorous iudge to condemn vs but come as a Sauiour and a Iesus to release vs. Now to this Iesus the Sonne of God with the Father and the holy Ghost bee ascribed all honour power praise and Maiestie now and for euer Amen FINIS Errata For not read non pag. 9. lin 22. for then read thence p. 17. lin 6. for Separists Separatists pag. 34. l. the laste for alienaam alienam p 40. l. 11. at quî tuam p. 40. l. 12. for curses r. curse p. 54. l. 7.

Iudicat homo hominem in opere sed deus in corde that though God onely iudge the heart yet man may iudge of the fact of man And so I come to my third part will come when God shall come In God rising for so reades the vulgate and comming for so hath the English vnto iudgement I obserue two things First the certaintie then the vicinitie of the iudgement It is not said Deus venit God doth or hath come but Deus veniet God will come and yet according to the rule of the Schoole Futurum in Deo aeque certum quam aut praesens aut praeteritum that which is to come in God is as sure as if it were either present or past And God wil come to iudgement both for the glorie of God and of Man and of Christ both God and Man First for the glorie of God for God hath promised a iudgement and all the promises of God are yea and Amen The Prophets and the Apostles both the Law and the Gospell beare witnes of a iudgement I wil contend with thee in iudgement saith God in Ieremie Ier. The Nations shall see my iudgement Ezek. saith God in Ezekiel I will sit and iudge all people Ioel. saith God in Ioel. In Saint Paul wee reade Statutum est Death is appointed and after it commeth the iudgement And in Saint Peter wee finde a Iudicaturus est S. Pet. that as if God had put on his robes and were set on his iudgment seate hee is now ready to iudge the quicke and dead God promised a floud and it came Et qui verus diluu●o cur non iudicio hee that performed in the particular shall he not also performe in a generall iudgement In Philosophie posito vno contrariorum if we grant one contrarie the other will follow but wee haue had experience of Gods mercie which is opposite to iudgement and shall wee not also haue a triall and a iudgement GOD hath shewed iustice in Heauen on rebellious Angels and will hee not shew iustice on men if they rebell vpon earth Secondly there must be a iudgement for the good of man for here the holiest and most heauenly men be in most heauiness Hic optimi pessime agunt here the righteous man hath most wrong and therefore God will iudge and do him right Here Iezabel sits brauing in a window while Ieremie lies sticking in the mudd Here Diues sits in his pallace S. Luke clothed richly faring daintily while Lazarus lies at his gate naked and hungry Here Herod wil please his Herodias though it be with the head of Iohn the Baptist Nonne visitabit shall not God visite and come to iudgement for these things Here the condition of the godly Christian is much like to the state of Christ his maister nec viuus domum nec mortuus sepulcrum habet they haue scarse a house wherein to liue and such hath been the Popish furie their bones haue not had rest after their death while they liued they found exilium equuleum banishment and the racke and being dead the wicked did saeuire in manes not let them rest when they were at rest Euseb Much like to the storie in Eusebius where they were not content to burne the bodies of the Saints but they cast there ashes vppon the water with this obloquie colligat Deus Reuel let the Lord gather them if hee will haue them But O LORD holy and true how long how long the bloud of thy Saints is shed round about this round world and they are cut in peeces euen as men cut and hew wood and wilt thou not yet come to be auenged on such a people as this Yes saith the Psalme Psal the Lord will come and not keepe silence and as it is in another Psalme Doubtlesse there is a God that will iudge the earth Psal And as in a balance or a scale that which is lightest mounteth highest so those that were of light or no esteeme in the world shall then be taken vp vnto the highest Gemunt boni though the godly mourne here like a Doue yet fruentur summo bono then they shall be comforted by that Spirit who appeared in the likenes of a Doue Though the good haue pressuram in terrâ griefe and oppression vpon earth yet they shall finde vsuram in coelo interest and increase of glorie in the Kingdome of heauen Lastly as there must be a iudgement for the glorie of God and good of man so it must also bee for the honour of Christ Iesus God and Man For the world did not beleeue Christ to bee the Messias the Iew held him but a meere and miserable man the Gentiles derided him as a crucified God and therefore will hee call heauen and earth and come and iudge his people and hee will come in such power and maiestie that the whole world shall confesse him a Messias that the Iew shall acknowledge him a God and that both Iew and Gentile shall feare and grieue to see him so highly glorified whom they basely slew and crucified Secondly I obserued the neerenes and vicinitie of the iudgement It is not said in the Apostles Creede veniet Symbo Aposto sea venturus est iudicare hee will come but hee is at hand he hath as it were set forth and is on his way comming to iudgement Non instat iudiciam sed ferè extat the day of iudgement is not so much future and to come as it is already present and in sight Iudex adianuam now is the iudge riding his circuite now hath hee sent forth his summons now hath hee put on his robe now is he set vpon his throne now is thy inditement reading now is thy cause pleading and now euen now the sentence of thy eternall life or death may bee passing witnes that of the Apostle Nunc est iudicium hee doth not say nunc erit now the iudgement shall bee as if it were comming but nunc est now is the iudgement of this world as if this moment this instant and present now were allotted for the iudgement The world that great man hath the throwes and panges of death now seazing on him And as man the little world when hee hath liued many yeares draweth then neere vnto his end so the world that hath liued now almost six thousand yeares must needes consume and haue an end In the time of the Apostles the Kingdome of God was at hand and now after so long a time as from the Apostles is it yet farre off When the Sunne hath passed the twelue signes Malac. wee know then the yeare ends Now Christ our Sunne hath passed through these signes and therefore the yeare of the world must haue an end Christ in his birth passed through Virgo for hee was borne of a pure and blessed Virgin Inchino He passed Gemini in his incarnation for there was both a Diuine and humane Nature Hee passed Cancer in his
