Iohn saith the Father judgeth no man but hath committed all judgement to the Sonne And Abraham gave God the stile of the Iudge of the world There it is evident that our Saviour Iesus Christ is Iudge of the world He is verus Iudex Iustus he is a true and upright Iudge yea he is a Iudge that is able to destroy both body and soule in hell fire for ever But let us note he commeth not alone but bringeth ten thousand of his Saints to execute judgement upon all yea he said to his Disciples Ye which have followed me shall sit upon twelve Thrones judging the twelve Tribes of Israel Vnto the godly he shall say Come ye blessed c.
