Sanctorum longe alta est c. The rewarde of the Saints is farre different Who in this life runne the race that is before them without fainting fixing the eies of their faith vpon the crowne of eternal life which is proposed vnto them to obtaine This crowne I may boldly say this holy Queene principally affected in regard of the testimony by the which of our Sauiour shee is in my text to her perpetual and euerlasting good honoured The Queene of the South shal rise in iudgement with this generation and shal condemne it In which words I obserue these principall pointes first her resurrection secondly the the iudiciall authority that God giueth her By the resurrection I vnderstand not the first resurrection which is from sinne Apoc. 1.20.5.6 but the generall resurrectiō of all flesh which in the day of iudgment shall be accōplished namely in the generall iudgment wherein the Lord himselfe shall descēd from heauen with a shoute Epist ad Thes Cap. 4. and with the voice of an Archangell and with the trumpet of God at what hower they that are in the graues shall heare his voice and at what hour they shall come forth that haue done good to euerlasting life Euang. Iohn 5. but they that haue done euill to everlastinge condemnation Then the glory of this Queene shall be seene when her body that was sowed in corruptiō shal rise in incorruption whē her flesh that was sowne in dishonor shal rise in honour when her outward man that was sowne in weakenes shall be raised in power when her body naturall shall be raised a body spirituall Ad Cor. 1.15 Ep. ad Timoth. 2. cap. 4. in that day wherein the righteous iudge shall giue a crowne of righteteousnes vnto her to all them that loue his appearance The second and last thinge that I obserue this testimony of our Sauiour is that wherewith this Queene shall thē be honoured which is iudiciall power This Queene shall not onely rise but iudiciall Power shall be giuen vnto her which power is expressed in these words This Queene beinge risen or rather raised by Christ our Sauiour in the resurrection shall condemne this generation this obstinate rebellious people of the Iewes in whose harts incredulity is ingraued with an iron penne with the point of a Diamond Ierem. cap. 17. with the claw of an eagle which haue harts that cannot repēt know not the time of their visitatiō If it shal be here obiected that iudiciall power is only givē to the sonne of God according to that answere of our Saviour the 5. of Iohns gospell v. 26. For as the father hath life in himselfe so likewise hath he giuen to the so●ne to haue life on himselfe And hath giuen him power also to execute iudgement v. 27. in that hee is the sonne of man v. 30. I can doe nothing of mine own selfe as I heare I iudge and my iudgemēt is iust because I seeke not mine own wil but the will of the father who hath sent me Ciuill in Iohn lib. 2. cap. 14. Whereby Saint Cirell hath perspicuously proued in his commentaries vpon the 5. of Iohn that by the argument of the act of exercising of iudgement Christ our sauiour is inuincibly demonstrated to bee of the same substaunce with the father in these words Psal 81. Psal 74. Cui orbem terrarū iudicare convenit nisi soli Deo c. To whom doth it appertaine to iudge the world but God alone whō only the holy Scripture calleth vnto iudgement saying Arise O God and iudge the earth And againe because God is iudge he putteth downe one and lif●eth vp another He saith Iudgement is given him of his father not that he hath not this power of his owne nature but he sheweth that all things are in his divine power by wais of dispensation in regarde of his manhooode Yet this argument infringeth nothing this honour that our Saviour in this place attributeth to this Queene in the resurrection of the dead True it is that properly to speake only iudgement condemnation life death is giuen by the father to Iesus Christ in that sort as our Sauiour hath spoken chap. 5. Ioh. in the verses before cited and essentially it is due to none but only to that person which is God by nature And in this sense it is derogatory to the Godhead absolutely to affirme that any shall iudge or condemne but only such a person as is by essence God But in this sense it is not vnderstood heere wherefore I suppose that that distinction which the Schoole-men haue giuen though somewhat barbarbarously in worde yet pithily in sense may sufficiently satisfie this obiection and plainely expresse without al absurdity Aquin. Suppl 3. part Sum. Quaest 88. Art 1. in what sense our sauiour hath attributed in this place iudiciall authority to this Queene in the general resurrection If the word to iudge or condemne which is a parte of iudgement be taken principally and essentially it is peculiar to the three persons in the blessed Trinity the Famther the Sonne and the holy Ghost only because God is the only creator of mā iudgmēt is only in the power of God that canne search the inward man In this sense the Psalmist saith Psal 96.9 Vrsin exp Symb. God commeth to iudge the world to righteousnes and the people in his truth Iudicium erit trium personarum Divinitatis quoad consensum authoritatem All the three persons of the Godhead shall iudge in respect of their consent and authority Secondly Christ our Saviour shall iudge in humana naturâ God and man in mans nature because in that nature hee hath redeemed vs and for that the finall sentence in the last doome shall be pronounced by him only and according to this humane nature it is said that Christ shall iudge potestate ordinatâ delegatâ By a subordinate power and by way of Commission Thirdly the twelue Apostles of the Lambe shall iudge accessoriâ dignitate By accessory dignitie which then shal be given them according to that in the 19. of Saint Matthew v. 20. And Iesus said vnto thē verily I say vnto you that when the sonne of man shal sit in the throne of his maiesty yee which followed me in the regeneration shall sit also vpon twelue thrones and iudge the twelue tribes of Israel And for that they were eie witnesses of those eie miracles that Christ our Saviour wrought Act. 1.21.22 and because they faithfully preached vnto the Iewes and all the world his doctrine according to the rule whereby the whole world shal be iudged and for that in the excellency of glory giuen them by Christ our Saviour they shall ouershine others by diuersity of glory in the day of iudgement All the faithful shal iudge iudicij approbatione that is al the faithful shal subscribe to the iudgement of our Sauiour in the generall doome of all the world that

cōfession which this holy Queene maketh to God glorifying him that for his names sake and for Israel his peoples sake had set on the throne of Israel such a king as Salomon was had blessed him with so great a measure of his spirit and made him king to doo equitie and righteousnes But this part cannot now be polished or amplifyed by my discourse least I be over tedious to you partly for that some things of this discourse may not vnfittly be vsed in the application The last part These things sufficiently discoursed vpon the last part of my text offereth itselfe to mine handling which is the action of this honorable person in another world in the life to come and in the day of the generall resurrection Her action honour in the life to come is demonstrated in these woords or testimony of our Sauiour The Queene of the S●wth shall rise in iudgment with this generation and shall cōdēne it This great person was by sexe as you haue heard a woman by vocation a Queene in wealth abundant in knowledge a rare Phaenix in trauail laborious in disputations learned in obseruation discreet in behauiour honorable and wise in traine magnificall in rewardinge Salomon heroicall in religion studious zealous and fervent Yet al these except the reward of her religiō haue at length an end her kingdōe shee was to leaue to her lawful successors the abundāce of her riches to her trusty executors her knowledge experimētal in ciuil actiōs was in another world vnnecessary the beauty of her face and comlines of her body was to turne to ashes her magnifical traine could do her no more honour then to see her funeralls regally performed her body imbaulmed her bones intered onely by her princely vertues and rare knowledge shee obtained a glorious reporte in earth and by the integrity of her faith a crowne of glory in heauen In that shee was a Queene shee was to bee honoured in that shee was a learned Queene shee was to be admired at in that she regards to keepe the decorum of her person shee was to be cōmended in that shee takes paines to trauel so long and so laborious a iourny shee is to be by al louers of vertue remembred in that shee is able to dispute in deepe questions of Diuinity with king Salomon shee is to be registred in the book of the iust in that shee obserueth things done in king Salomons court shee is to be chronicled in that shee rewardeth king Salomon so heroically with fames trumpet shee is to be celebrated in that shee glorifieth Gods name for king Salomons guifts it sheweth that with the malicious mothe rust of enuy her heart was not cākred in that shee was not onely learned but religiously learned shee was to be reuerenced lastly in that shee receiueth such a testimony of our Sauiour in the new testament shee was thereby in the booke of life canonized Yet
