is the righteousnesse of GOD made manifest without the law hauing witnesse of the law and the Prophets to wit the righteousnesse of GOD by the faith of IESVS CHRIST vnto all and vpon al that beleeue This righteousnesse of GOD belongeth vnto the New Testament and hath confirmation from the Old namely the law and the prophets Wee must therefore first of all propound the cause and then produce the confirmations for CHRIST himselfe so ordered it saying Euery scribe which is taught vnto the kingdome of heauen is like vnto an housholder which bringeth out of his treasury things both new and old He saith not both and new but if hee had not respected the order of dignity more then of antiquity he would haue done so and not as he did Places of Scripture prouing that there shal be a daie of Iudgement at the worlds end CHAP. 5. OVr Sauiour therefore condeming the citties whom his great miracles did not induce vnto faith and preferring aliens before them telleth them this Isay vnto you it shal be easier for Tyrus a and Sydon at the day of iudgement then for you And by and by after vnto another cittie Isay vnto you that it shal be easier for them of the Land of Sodome in the daie of iudgement then for thee Here is a plaine prediction of such a day Againe The men of Niniuie saith hee shall arise in iudgement with this generation and condemne it c. The Queene of the south shall rise in Iudgement with this generation and shall condemne it c. Heere wee learne two things 1. that there shal be a iudgement 2. that it shal be when the dead doe arise againe For Our Sauiour speaking of the Niniuites and of the Queene of the South speaketh of them that were dead long before Now b hee sayd not shall condemne as if they were to bee the iudges but that their comparison with the afore-said generation shall iustly procure the iudges condemning sentence Againe speaking of the present commixtion of the good and bad and their future seperation in the day of Iudgement hee vseth a simily of the sowne wheate and the tares sowne afterwards amongst it which hee expoundeth vnto his disciples Hee that soweth the good seed is the Sonne of Man the field is the world the good seed they are the children of the Kingdome the tares are the children of the wicked the enemy that soweth that is the deuill the haruest is the end of the world and the reapers bee the Angells As then the tares are gathered and burned in the fire so shall it bee in the ende of this worlde the Sonne of Man shall send forth his Angells and they shall gather out of his Kingdome all things that offend and they which doe iniquity and shall cast them into a furnace of fire there shal be weeping and gnashing of teeth Then shall the iust men shine as the Sunne in the Kingdome of their Father Hee that hath eares to heare let him heare Hee nameth not the Iudgement day heere but hee expresseth it farre more plainely by the effects and promiseth it to befall at the end of the world Furthermore hee saith to his disciples Verely I say vnto you that when the Sonne of Man shall sit in the Throne of his Maiesty then yee which followed mee in their regeneration shall sit also vpon twelue thrones and iudge the twelue tribes of Israell Here wee see that Christ shall bee iudge together with his Apostles Wherevpon hee sayd vnto the Iewes in another place If I through Beelzebub cast out deuills by whom doe your children cast them out therefore they shal be your iudges But now in that he speaketh of twelue thrones we may not imagine that he and one twelue more with him shal be the worlds Iudges The number of twelue includeth the whole number of the Iudges by reason of the two parts of seauen which number signifieth the totall and the vniuerse which two parts foure and three multiplied either by other make vp twelue three times foure or foure times three is twelue besides others reasons why twelue is vsed in these words of our Sauiour Otherwise Mathias hauing Iudas his place Saint Paul should haue no place left him to sit as Iudge in though hee tooke more paines then them all but that hee belongeth vnto the number of the Iudges his owne wordes doe proue Know yee not that we shall iudge the Angells The reason of their iudgements also is included in the number of twelue For Christ in saying To iudge the twelue tribes of Israel excludeth neither the tribe of Leui which was the thirteenth nor all the other Nations besides Israell from vnder-going this iudgement Now whereas hee saith In the regeneration heereby assuredlie hee meanes the resurrection of the dead For our flesh shal be regenerate by incorruption as our soule is by faith I omit many things that might concerne this great daie because inquiry may rather make them seeme ambiguous or belonging vnto other purpose then this as either vnto CHRISTS dayly comming vnto his church in his members vnto each in perticular or vnto the destruction of the earthly Ierusalem because Our Sauiour speaking of that vseth the same phrase that hee vseth concerning the end of the world and the last iudgement so that wee can scarcely distinguish them but by conferring the three Euangelists Mathew Marke and Luke together in their places touching this point For one hath it some-what difficult and another more apparant the one explayning the intent of the other And those places haue I conferred together in one of mine Epistles vnto Hesychius of blessed memory Bishoppe of Salon the Epistle is intituled De fine seculi of the worldes ende So that I will in this place relate onely that place of Saint Mathew where CHRIST the last iudge beeing then present shall seperate the good from the badde It is thus When the Sonne of Man commeth in his glory and all the holy Angells with him then shal he sit vpon the throne of his glorie and before him shal be gathered all nations and he shall seperate them one from another as a sheepheard seperateth the sheepe from the goates and hee shall set the sheepe on his right hand and the goates on his left Then shall the King say to them on his right hand come yee blessed of my father inherite yee the Kingdome prepared for you from the foundations of the worlde For I was an hungered and you gaue mee meate I thirsted and you gaue mee drinke I was a stranger and you lodged m●… I was naked and yee cloathed mee I was sicke and yee visited mee I was in prison and yee came vnto mee Then shall the righteous answere him saying LORD when saw wee thee an hungred and fedde thee or a thirst and gaue thee drinke c. And the King shall answere and say vnto them Verely I say vnto you in asmuch as yee haue done
