world_n must_v appear_v before_o the_o throne_n of_o christ_n jesus_n three_o if_o you_o desire_v to_o be_v instruct_v by_o what_o mean_n and_o after_o what_o manner_n christ_n jesus_n will_v proceed_v in_o judgement_n what_o shall_v be_v the_o evidence_n and_o the_o witness_n what_o jury_n shall_v pass_v upon_o every_o man_n and_o woman_n the_o holy_a ghost_n tell_v we_o that_o the_o book_n shall_v be_v open_v that_o god_n will_v judge_v every_o man_n by_o his_o own_o conscience_n for_o that_o shall_v give_v evidence_n either_o with_o or_o against_o thou_o either_o to_o excuse_v or_o accuse_v thou_o four_o and_o last_o if_o you_o will_v know_v what_o shall_v be_v the_o final_a end_n of_o all_o man_n you_o may_v here_o perceive_v that_o they_o who_o name_n be_v write_v in_o the_o book_n of_o life_n shall_v be_v bless_v but_o death_n and_o hell_n and_o satan_n and_o all_o ungodlie_a sinner_n shall_v be_v cast_v into_o a_o lake_n of_o fire_n and_o brimstone_n for_o evermore_o which_o be_v the_o second_o death_n now_o have_v see_v the_o meaning_n of_o the_o text_n let_v we_o come_v to_o speak_v of_o the_o several_a point_n one_o by_o one_o in_o order_n i_o see_v a_o great_a white_a throne_n etc._n etc._n this_o verse_n contain_v in_o it_o a_o notable_a description_n of_o the_o judge_n himself_o and_o whereas_o s._n john_n say_v he_o see_v a_o great_a white_a throne_n that_o be_v christ_n jesus_n reveal_v it_o unto_o he_o in_o a_o vision_n the_o manner_n of_o his_o second_o come_v to_o judgement_n and_o withal_o command_v he_o to_o write_v it_o in_o a_o book_n for_o the_o comfort_n and_o instruction_n of_o the_o church_n of_o god_n for_o evermore_o here_o than_o we_o may_v note_v the_o great_a care_n and_o love_n of_o jesus_n christ_n towards_o his_o poor_a church_n and_o people_n that_o he_o will_v not_o have_v they_o ignorant_a of_o his_o second_o come_v to_o judgement_n but_o he_o do_v make_v it_o know_v to_o his_o disciple_n john_n and_o bid_v he_o record_v it_o in_o the_o book_n of_o god_n for_o our_o instruction_n that_o so_o no_o man_n may_v be_v ignorant_a of_o it_o but_o rather_o may_v prepare_v himself_o by_o true_a repentance_n to_o meet_v the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n in_o the_o cloud_n now_o concern_v the_o vision_n saint_n john_n see_v a_o great_a white_a throne_n he_o see_v a_o throne_n set_v and_o this_o throne_n be_v describe_v by_o two_o property_n first_o a_o great_a throne_n throne_n 1_o great_a throne_n secondy_a a_o white_a throne_n the_o first_o show_v the_o wonderful_a may_v majesty_n and_o power_n of_o the_o judge_n the_o second_o show_v the_o purity_n integrity_n and_o uprightness_n of_o the_o great_a judge_n of_o the_o whole_a world_n 25.31_o mat._n 25.31_o and_o as_o it_o be_v show_v unto_o john_n in_o a_o vision_n so_o our_o saviour_n christ_n himself_o speak_v of_o it_o when_o he_o show_v that_o as_o earthly_a king_n when_o they_o will_v make_v show_v of_o their_o regal_a power_n and_o dignity_n of_o their_o majesty_n they_o ascend_v into_o the_o throne_n of_o their_o kingdom_n even_o so_o christ_n jesus_n when_o he_o come_v to_o judgement_n he_o will_v come_v with_o all_o glory_n all_o his_o holy_a angel_n shall_v attend_v on_o his_o sacred_a person_n and_o then_o he_o will_v ascend_v into_o this_o great_a white_a throne_n of_o his_o glory_n to_o pronounce_v that_o final_a sentence_n both_o on_o the_o sheep_n and_o on_o the_o goat_n use_v 1_o here_o then_o we_o see_v a_o manifest_a difference_n between_o christ_n come_v in_o the_o flesh_n to_o be_v a_o mediator_n and_o redeemer_n and_o his_o second_o come_v to_o judgement_n and_o sure_o it_o make_v much_o for_o the_o comfort_n of_o god_n poor_a child_n that_o though_o here_o they_o be_v in_o want_n in_o misery_n and_o poverty_n yet_o they_o shall_v be_v make_v partaker_n of_o this_o glory_n of_o their_o head_n christ_n jesus_n second_o it_o serve_v to_o astonish_v all_o hard-hearted_a sinner_n which_o contemn_v christ_n and_o his_o poor_a member_n christ_n will_v at_o last_o manifest_v his_o power_n in_o their_o just_a condemnation_n see_v the_o person_n of_o the_o use_v 2_o judge_n be_v of_o such_o endless_a power_n and_o glory_n of_o such_o wonderful_a might_n and_o majesty_n this_o must_v humble_v all_o man_n when_o they_o come_v to_o stand_v in_o presence_n of_o so_o great_a a_o person_n as_o we_o do_v when_o we_o come_v to_o hear_v the_o word_n preach_v and_o teach_v to_o receive_v the_o holy_a sacrament_n if_o we_o be_v to_o come_v but_o into_o the_o presence_n of_o a_o earthly_a prince_n how_o careful_a and_o circumspect_o will_v we_o behave_v ourselves_o to_o do_v nothing_o unbeseeming_a the_o presence_n of_o so_o great_a a_o person_n this_o be_v the_o great_a care_n man_n have_v when_o they_o come_v into_o the_o presence_n of_o a_o earthly_a judge_n to_o put_v off_o their_o hat_n and_o to_o show_v all_o token_n of_o reverence_n and_o yet_o it_o be_v a_o wonder_n to_o see_v how_o unreverent_o man_n and_o woman_n come_v into_o the_o ptesence_n of_o the_o euer-living_a and_o most_o high_a god_n unto_o the_o presence_n of_o the_o great_a judge_n of_o heaven_n and_o earth_n the_o king_n of_o king_n and_o lord_n of_o lord_n when_o we_o come_v to_o pray_v or_o to_o sing_v psalm_n unto_o god_n how_o unreverent_o do_v some_o sit_v with_o their_o hat_n on_o will_v any_o man_n do_v it_o in_o the_o presence_n of_o a_o earthly_a judge_n or_o a_o mortal_a presence_n sure_o it_o be_v a_o unreverent_a behaviour_n to_o sit_v cover_v either_o when_o we_o speak_v unto_o god_n by_o prayer_n or_o when_o god_n speak_v unto_o we_o in_o his_o word_n again_o when_o man_n come_v to_o hear_v the_o word_n of_o this_o great_a judge_n the_o glorious_a gospel_n of_o jesus_n christ_n when_o they_o read_v it_o private_o in_o their_o house_n it_o be_v wonderful_a to_o see_v what_o little_a reverence_n they_o show_v in_o the_o glorious_a presence_n of_o this_o great_a judge_n will_v any_o earthly_a prince_n take_v it_o in_o good_a part_n if_o thou_o shall_v stand_v in_o his_o presence_n and_o he_o talk_v with_o thou_o for_o thy_o good_a and_o thou_o shall_v even_o at_o that_o time_n turn_v thy_o back_n upon_o he_o and_o fall_v to_o wipe_v of_o thy_o shoe_n or_o some_o base_a business_n though_o man_n dare_v not_o do_v this_o in_o the_o presence_n of_o a_o earthly_a prince_n yet_o when_o jesus_n christ_n shall_v speak_v unto_o they_o in_o his_o word_n and_o gospel_n they_o will_v more_o regard_v the_o vain_a and_o foolish_a talk_n of_o any_o boy_n or_o girl_n that_o shall_v prattle_v in_o their_o ear_n than_o the_o heavenly_a voice_n of_o this_o great_a judge_n christ_n jesus_n which_o show_v very_o plain_o that_o they_o care_v not_o for_o christ_n and_o that_o they_o make_v but_o small_a account_n of_o his_o word_n and_o glorious_a gospel_n oh_o therefore_o let_v we_o consider_v when_o we_o come_v either_o to_o speak_v to_o god_n by_o our_o prayer_n or_o to_o hear_v christ_n speak_v unto_o we_o in_o his_o word_n that_o we_o come_v to_o appear_v in_o a_o glorious_a presence_n that_o so_o we_o may_v come_v in_o fear_n and_o reverence_n as_o become_v the_o presence_n of_o so_o great_a a_o majesty_n use_v 3_o see_v the_o person_n of_o the_o judge_n be_v of_o such_o endless_a majesty_n and_o power_n we_o must_v take_v heed_n we_o never_o do_v wrong_v any_o of_o his_o poor_a member_n for_o christ_n he_o take_v it_o as_o do_v unto_o himself_o and_o he_o will_v never_o put_v it_o up_o at_o our_o hand_n let_v we_o therefore_o embrace_v the_o counsel_n of_o the_o prophet_n david_n in_o the_o second_o psalm_n and_o twelve_o verse_n kiss_v the_o son_n lest_o he_o be_v angry_a etc._n etc._n let_v we_o regard_v his_o word_n embrace_v his_o gospel_n love_v his_o people_n obey_v his_o truth_n kiss_v the_o golden_a sceptre_n of_o this_o great_a and_o mighty_a judge_n of_o the_o world_n lest_o in_o his_o anger_n he_o break_v we_o in_o piece_n with_o his_o rod_n of_o iron_n second_o throne_n 2_o white_a throne_n this_o throne_n of_o christ_n jesus_n be_v call_v a_o white_a throne_n now_o this_o white_a throne_n it_o betoken_v purity_n beauty_n sincerity_n and_o integrity_n and_o therefore_o it_o show_v that_o christ_n jesus_n the_o judge_n of_o the_o whole_a world_n will_v judge_v all_o cause_n and_o all_o person_n upright_o sincere_o and_o pure_o no_o cruelty_n no_o injustice_n nor_o wrong_n will_v he_o do_v to_o any_o creature_n but_o will_v proceed_v most_o sincere_o in_o all_o uprightness_n indeed_o judgement_n in_o this_o world_n many_o time_n swerve_v great_o sometime_o the_o judge_n be_v not_o able_a to_o search_v into_o the_o depth_n of_o the_o cause_n sometime_o for_o fear_n he_o dare_v not_o do_v justice_n sometime_o for_o

favour_n he_o be_v withheld_a sometime_o bribe_v blind_a his_o eye_n and_o pervert_v the_o right_a sentence_n but_o it_o shall_v not_o be_v so_o with_o this_o judge_n of_o the_o whole_a world_n his_o sentence_n be_v a_o righteous_a sentence_n he_o will_v judge_v according_a to_o truth_n he_o be_v able_a to_o find_v out_o any_o cause_n and_o will_v examine_v it_o to_o the_o bottom_n he_o fear_v no_o man_n person_n he_o will_v not_o be_v move_v with_o favour_n to_o conceal_v the_o truth_n and_o as_o for_o reward_n he_o contemn_v they_o all_o therefore_o no_o doubt_n he_o will_v proceed_v according_a to_o justice_n this_o serve_v for_o the_o comfort_n use_v 1_o of_o god_n people_n in_o this_o world_n we_o see_v oftentimes_o the_o righteous_a cause_n be_v tread_v under_o foot_n man_n land_n and_o live_n be_v detain_v and_o take_v from_o they_o by_o unrighteous_a judge_n and_o that_o under_o colour_n of_o law_n well_o let_v man_n have_v patience_n and_o know_v this_o that_o there_o will_v come_v a_o day_n wherein_o there_o shall_v be_v justice_n and_o true_a judgement_n do_v unto_o they_o here_o thy_o cause_n shall_v be_v hear_v it_o shall_v be_v right_v for_o christ_n jesus_n will_v be_v a_o righteous_a judge_n for_o the_o poor_a the_o fatherless_a and_o the_o widow_n again_o we_o see_v how_o the_o member_n of_o christ_n which_o make_v conscience_n of_o sin_n and_o care_n of_o their_o life_n to_o hear_v the_o word_n and_o to_o walk_v according_o they_o be_v disgrace_v and_o despise_v of_o the_o world_n well_o let_v we_o learn_v here_o to_o possess_v our_o soul_n with_o patience_n for_o there_o will_v come_v a_o day_n of_o reckon_n when_o as_o our_o righteous_a cause_n will_v be_v hear_v and_o we_o shall_v have_v justice_n and_o all_o the_o contemner_n of_o christ_n jesus_n and_o persecutor_n of_o his_o poor_a member_n shall_v feel_v the_o smart_n of_o it_o use_v 2_o second_o see_v christ_n jesus_n the_o judge_n come_v thus_o with_o might_n and_o majesty_n not_o as_o a_o saviour_n or_o mediator_n but_o as_o a_o judge_n it_o must_v admonish_v all_o man_n and_o woman_n now_o to_o repent_v and_o turn_v unto_o god_n in_o the_o time_n of_o mercy_n 55.6_o esay_n 55.6_o to_o seek_v the_o lord_n while_o he_o may_v be_v find_v and_o to_o call_v upon_o he_o while_o he_o be_v near_o now_o while_o we_o live_v jesus_n christ_n come_v unto_o we_o by_o his_o minister_n as_o a_o saviour_n to_o save_v our_o soul_n in_o mercy_n to_o bring_v we_o to_o repentance_n but_o after_o this_o life_n he_o will_v no_o more_o come_v as_o a_o saviour_n or_o a_o mediator_n but_o as_o a_o mighty_a judge_n full_a of_o majesty_n full_a of_o may_v power_n and_o glory_n and_o therefore_o look_v how_o man_n die_v so_o shall_v the_o judge_n find_v they_o if_o thou_o die_v in_o thy_o sin_n and_o do_v not_o repent_v and_o seek_v for_o pardon_n at_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o judge_n while_o thou_o live_v here_o there_o be_v no_o hope_n of_o mercy_n after_o death_n for_o how_o death_n leave_v thou_o so_o shall_v judgement_n find_v thou_o cain_n die_v many_o thousand_o year_n ago_o and_o judas_n in_o their_o sin_n so_o shall_v the_o last_o day_n find_v they_o for_o after_o death_n there_o be_v no_o mercy_n but_o justice_n and_o judgement_n and_o one_o fit_v thereon_o now_o who_o this_o be_v which_o sit_v upon_o this_o great_a white_a throne_n 14.14_o the_o person_n of_o the_o judge_n describe_v reu._n 14.14_o you_o may_v see_v in_o the_o revelation_n of_o saint_n john_n the_o fourteen_o chapter_n and_o the_o fourteen_o verse_n i_o see_v a_o white_a
