2. to the Corinthians 5. chapter 10 verse Paul saith Wee must all appeare before the tribunall seate of Christ that euery one may receiue the thinges that are done in his body whether it be good or euil All therefore at that day shall bee brought before the Lord Iesus But the wicked shal not come to be and to abide with Iesus Christ from that day Neither shal they in the houre of their dissolution bee gathered vnto him to be abide with him before that day They shall come vnto him as vnto a Iudge armed with authoritie to condemne They shall come vnto him as vnto a reuenger appearing from heauen with flaming fire to destroy And their iudgement when they appeare shal be to depart for euer from his presence As wee reade the sentence set downe in the 25. of Matthew at the 14. verse Depart from me ye cursed into euerlasting fire prepared for the diuell and his angells And of the iudgment of them in that great day that either know not God hauing had no calling or obeyed not the Gospell of our Lord Iesus Christ hauing obeied no calling Paul saith in the second to the Thessalonians 1. chapter and 9. verse That they shall be punished with euerlasting perdition from the presence of the Lord and from the glorie of his power Their comming therefore is not to bee and abide with Christ And for the time of their comming and abiding before Christ it shall be most fearefull vnto them of whom it is written Reuelations 6. chapter 16. verse That they shall say vnto the mountaines and hills fall vpon vs and couer vs from the presence of him that sitteth vpon the throne and from the Lambe for the great day of his wrath is come and who can stand that is who shall be able to abide his iudgement But the faithfull at that great day come vnto him to be and abide with him to whom Iesus shal say in the 25. of Matthew 34. Come yee blessed of my Father And of whom Paul doth say in the 1. to the Thessalonians 4. chap 17. verse So shal we be euer with the Lord. And that their being and continuing with him is their happines as here Paul saith Euen best of all To this purpose it is an apt speech that is in the 6. chapter of Augustines Manuale Faelix anima quae terreno resoluta tarcere libera coelum petit quae te dulcisimum Dominum facie ad faciem ceruit quae nullo metu mortis affiicitur sed de incorruptione perpetua gloria letatur Happy is that soule which freed from her earthly prison dooth now in libertie enter into heauen and there beholdeth thee most sweete Lord Iesus face to face and is affected with no more feare of death but reioyceth in the incorruptible estate of eternall glory Marke the words of the Lord Iesus spoken to the Apostles touching this very matter of his fellowship in heauen and you shall finde them to contemne all consolation In the 22. of Luke at the 29. verse I appoint vnto you a kingdome as my Father hath appointed to me that you may eate and drinke at my table in my kingdome and sit on thrones iudging the twelue Tribes of Israel In the fellowshippe of Christ they shall bee made partakers with him of all glorie and gladnesse they shall be made partakers with him of all glorie for they raigne with him as Kings and be copartners of his Kingdome and ioyne with him in iudgement when he shall condemne the wicked And they shall bee made partakers with him of all gladnesse for they shall sit with him at table after the blessed manner of heauenly entertainement and they shall eate and drinke with him after the manner of heauenly diet and it shall be done to them that was saide to the faithfull seruant they shall enter into their Maisters ioy The blessednesse of this fellowship is described and shadowed forth vnto vs in the Parable by the happy successe of the fiue wise Virgins of whom it is said in the 25. verse of Mathew 10. verse That they entred with the Bridegroome into his wedding Chamber What meane these thinges the wedding day is a day of ioy and gladnesse The place where the wedding is kept is a place abounding with reioycing and feasting Those that are guests admitted to the fellowship of that time and place and admitted to the fellowshippe of ioy and gladnesse The wine was merely spent at the wedding in Cana of Galilee when the company was sober and Iesus his mother and Disciples were bidden and present And the faithfull comming to Iesus for the state of all the faithful in those fiue wise Virgins is shadowed enter with him into the wedding chamber that is they come to the place of mirth of ioy and of gladnesse Where as Anselme saith Munda anima sempiterno diuino consortio copulatur The pure soule is coupled as in marriage with euerlasting fellowship with God Father saith Iesus in the 17. of Iohn 24. verse I will that those which thou hast giuen me be with me where I am that they may see my glory which thou hast giuen mee That is that at leisure and at their pleasure they may satisfie their soules with viewing whatsoeuer delight the Kingdome of heauen and the glorie of the Sonne of God may affoord Which how great delight it is vnto the soule they cannot conceiue that are not yet admitted to see The Queene of the South came a far iourney to see the wisedome the riches the glorie of Salomon whereof she had heard report And in the second of Chronicles 9. chapter she came and saw and wondred And in the seuenth verse pronounced the seruants of Salomon and his men happy because they stoode before him heard his wisedome And when wee shall come vnto Christ to continue with him and to stand before him is there not a greater then Salomon there In wisedome and riches and glory farre passing Salomon How much more then shall we be happie and blessed to heare his wisedome in whom all the treasure of wisedome and knowledge are laied vp Peter saith Hee had the wordes of eternall life in his mouth whiles he was poore and despised on earth His wisedome then must needes be the words of eternall comfort and glorie which his followers shall heare from his mouth in heauen And how much more shall we be happie in beholding his riches and glorie when wee shall obtaine with him all vse of his riches and shall bee transformed into the like glorie For the iust shall shine as the Sunne in the Kingdome of their Father Mat. 13.43 The beautie of Lillies and other flowers exceedeth by the saying of our Sauiour Christ Matth. 6.29 the beautie and glorie of Salomon But the glorie of the Lorde Iesus Christ farre exceedeth the glorie of the heauens his exceeding glorie giuing light and beautie to the heauens As it is said Reuelations 21. chapter and 23. verse The Citie
