judgment and he shall judge the world in righteousnesse Joh. 8.50 There is one that judgeth saith Christ of his Father compare we 1 Pet. 1.17 To the Son it is ascribed Act. 10.42 1 Cor. 4.4 2 Tim. 4.1.8 to the Holy Ghost Isa 4.4 called the Spirit of Judgment The ground of this is that known Maxime in Divinity Opera Trinitatis ad extra sunt indivisa look as the Essence of the three Persons is aequall individed and the same so is the power and work one in relation to the Creature And yet howsoever this be orthodox truth that the whole Trinity doe judge in regard of their 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 or consubstantiality Authoritatively neverthelesse the whole execution of this Judgment 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 in regard of Dispensation is committed unto the Son the Father and the Spirit judge but by the Son so Dan. 7.13 14. Act. 17.31 He hath appointed a day in the which he will judge the world in righteousnesse by that Man whom he hath ordained So Rom. 2.16 God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ in which respect the Judgment Seat is said to be Christ's Rom. 4.10 2 Cor. 5.10 And this is also an Article of our Creed The reasons of it are principally these two 1. First because the proceedings of the last Judgement being to be Visible it seemed good to the blessed Trinity to appoint the managing thereof to the man Christ Jesus that so the Judge might be seen in Majesty hence it 's said Joh. 5.27 He hath given him Authority to execute judgment also because He is the Son of many 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 as (t) Pelargus in lo● p. 62.

Secondly because it is a part of the recompense of his Humiliation I am sure an especiall part of his Regall authority by vertue whereof all the enemies of his Spirituall Kingdome shall be forced to submit to the aequity of his Sentence Rom. 14.11 Every knee shall how to him and at his Name Phil. 2.10 that is all Creatures shall yeeld him homage and bee forced to acknowledge his power scepter and soveraignty The Apostles indeed Matt. 19.28 are said to judge the world by their solid Doctrine and eminent Example convincing them of their error and ungracious courses and all the Saints in generall likewise 1 Cor. 6.2 shall judge even the Angels however not by Originall and Supreme authority yet as (v) Ephe. 2.6 Assessors with the Lord Christ as it were upon the same Bench by approbation applauding the (w) Rev. 19.1 Justice of him who being as Abraham styles him Gen. 18.25 the Judge of all the earth cannot but doe right Now for the majesty under which he is here described in these words From whose face the earth and the Heaven flee away and there was found no place for them many are the conjectures for the sense some understanding it of the abolishing and utter annihilation of the whole frame of this present Universe being totally dissolved and melted by the fire of Conflagration at that day some moderne Expositors incline to this for that they read Rev. 21.2 I saw a new Heaven and a new Earth for the first Heaven and the first Earth were passed away and there was no more Sea though (x) S.

Of old hast thou laid the foundation of the earth and the Heavens are the work of thy hands they shall perish but thou shalt endure yea all of them shall wax old like a garment as a vesture shalt thou change them and they shall be changed As a Vesture Now you know the substance of the Body may remain the same though the Vesture that covers it be exchanged from an old (*) 1 Cor. 7.31 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 fashion to a new Now as a Diamond is not so well cut as by a Diamond no more is the Scripture interpreted comparably as by it self And to the same purpose is that we read in 2 Pet. 3.13 where is mention made of new Heavers and a new Earth after those that now are vers 7. being reserved unto fire are purged by it Which fire at the last day as (z) Bonaventur ad 4 sent D. 48. qu. 1.
