that_o in_o judgement_n though_o it_o must_v first_o be_v evince_v that_o we_o be_v sinner_n and_o have_v deserve_v death_n according_a to_o the_o law_n of_o pure_a nature_n yet_o that_o be_v not_o the_o upshot_n of_o the_o judgement_n for_o the_o enquiry_n will_v be_v next_o whether_o we_o have_v accept_v the_o remedy_n and_o so_o obey_v the_o law_n of_o grace_n and_o perform_v its_o

law_n of_o grace_n that_o justify_v the_o righteous_a obj._n but_o how_o shall_v heathen_n bejudge_v by_o the_o law_n of_o grace_n that_o never_o do_v receive_v it_o answ_n the_o express_a gospel_n some_o of_o they_o have_v not_o and_o therefore_o shall_v not_o direct_o be_v judge_v by_o it_o but_o much_o of_o the_o redeemer_n mercy_n they_o do_v enjoy_v which_o shall_v have_v lead_v they_o to_o repent_v and_o seek_v out_o after_o recovery_n from_o their_o misery_n and_o to_o come_v near_a christ_n and_o for_o the_o neglect_n and_o abuse_v of_o this_o they_o shall_v be_v judge_v and_o not_o mere_o for_o sin_v against_o the_o law_n that_o be_v give_v we_o in_o pure_a innocency_n so_o that_o christ_n as_o redeemer_n shall_v judge_v they_o as_o well_o as_o other_o though_o they_o have_v but_o one_o talon_n yet_o must_v they_o give_v a_o account_n of_o that_o to_o the_o redeemer_n from_o who_o they_o receive_v it_o but_o if_o any_o be_v unsatisfied_a in_o this_o let_v they_o remember_v that_o as_o god_n have_v leave_v the_o state_n of_o such_o more_o dark_a to_o we_o and_o the_o term_n on_o which_o he_o will_v judge_v they_o so_o do_v it_o much_o more_o concern_v we_o to_o look_v to_o the_o term_n of_o our_o own_o judgement_n obj._n but_o how_o shall_v infant_n be_v judge_v by_o the_o gospel_n that_o be_v uncapable_a of_o it_o answ_n for_o aught_o i_o find_v in_o

the_o cause_n of_o the_o day_n to_o be_v inquire_v after_o what_o the_o accusation_n and_o what_o the_o defence_n answ_n this_o may_v be_v gather_v from_o what_o be_v last_o say_v the_o great_a cause_n of_o the_o day_n will_v be_v to_o inquire_v and_o determine_v who_o shall_v die_v and_o who_o shall_v live_v who_o ought_v to_o go_v to_o heaven_n and_o who_o to_o hell_n for_o ever_o according_a to_o the_o law_n by_o which_o they_o must_v then_o be_v judge_v 1._o as_o there_o be_v a_o twofold_a law_n by_o which_o they_o must_v be_v judge_v so_o will_v there_o then_o be_v a_o twofold_a accusation_n the_o first_o will_v be_v that_o they_o be_v sinner_n and_o so_o have_v violate_v the_o law_n of_o god_n they_o deserve_v everlasting_a death_n accord_v to_o that_o law_n if_o no_o defence_n can_v be_v make_v this_o one_o accusation_n will_v condemn_v all_o the_o world_n for_o it_o be_v most_o certain_a that_o all_o be_v sinner_n and_o as_o certain_a that_o all_o sin_n deserve_v death_n the_o only_a defence_n against_o this_o accusation_n lie_v in_o this_o plea_n confess_v the_o charge_n we_o must_v plead_v that_o christ_n have_v satisfy_v for_o sin_n and_o upon_o that_o consideration_n god_n have_v forgive_v we_o and_o therefore_o be_v forgive_v we_o ought_v not_o to_o be_v punish_v to_o prove_v this_o we_o must_v show_v the_o pardon_n under_o god_n hand_n in_o the_o gospel_n but_o because_o this_o pardon_v act_n of_o the_o gospel_n do_v forgive_v none_o but_o those_o that_o repent_v and_o believe_v and_o so_o return_v to_o god_n and_o to_o sincere_a obedience_n for_o the_o time_n to_o come_v therefore_o the_o next_o accusation_n will_v be_v that_o we_o do_v not_o perform_v these_o condition_n of_o forgiveness_n and_o therefore_o be_v unbeliever_n impenitent_a and_o rebel_n against_o the_o redeemer_n we_o have_v no_o right_a to_o pardon_v but_o by_o the_o sentence_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v liable_a to_o a_o great_a punishment_n for_o this_o contempt_n of_o christ_n and_o grace_n this_o accusation_n be_v either_o true_a or_o false_a where_o it_o be_v true_a god_n and_o conscience_n who_o speak_v the_o truth_n may_v well_o be_v

these_o wretch_n will_v have_v choose_v the_o service_n of_o god_n they_o will_v have_v meet_v with_o no_o difficulty_n or_o trouble_n but_o what_o will_v have_v have_v a_o speedy_a end_n poverty_n

i_o have_v say_v so_o much_o of_o these_o thing_n already_o in_o my_o book_n call_v the_o saint_n rest_v that_o i_o will_v now_o say_v but_o this_o much_o it_o be_v one_o of_o the_o wonder_n of_o the_o world_n how_o man_n that_o do_v believe_v or_o think_v they_o do_v believe_v this_o word_n of_o christ_n to_o be_v true_a that_o the_o wicked_a shall_v go_v into_o everlastin_n fire_n can_v yet_o venture_v on_o sin_n so_o bold_o and_o live_v in_o it_o so_o fearless_o or_o sleep_v quiet_o till_o they_o be_v out_o of_o this_o unspeakable_a danger_n only_o the_o commonness_n of_o it_o and_o the_o know_a wickedness_n of_o man_n heart_n do_v make_v this_o less_o wonderful_a and_o be_v there_o nothing_o else_o to_o convince_v we_o that_o sinner_n be_v mad_a and_o dead_a as_o to_o spiritual_a thing_n this_o be_v enough_o that_o ever_o the_o great_a pleasure_n or_o profit_n of_o the_o world_n or_o the_o most_o entice_a bait_n that_o the_o devil_n can_v offer_v they_o shall_v once_o prevail_v with_o they_o to_o forget_v these_o endless_a thing_n and_o draw_v they_o to_o reject_v a_o everlasting_a glory_n and_o cast_v themselves_o desperate_o into_o everlasting_a fire_n yea_o and_o all_o this_o under_o daily_a warning_n and_o instruction_n and_o when_o it_o be_v tell_v they_o before_o hand_n by_o the_o god_n of_o truth_n himself_o for_o the_o lord_n sake_n sir_n and_o for_o your_o soul_n sake_n if_o you_o care_v not_o what_o minister_n say_v or_o what_o such_o as_o i_o say_v yet_o will_v you_o sober_o read_v now_o and_o then_o this_o 25._o chapter_n of_o matthew_n and_o regard_v what_o be_v tell_v you_o by_o he_o that_o must_v be_v your_o judge_n and_o now_o and_o then_o bethink_v yourselves_o sober_o whether_o these_o be_v matter_n for_o wise_a man_n to_o make_v light_n of_o and_o what_o it_o be_v to_o be_v everlasting_o in_o heaven_n or_o in_o hell_n fire_n 2._o we_o have_v see_v what_o be_v the_o penalty_n contain_v in_o the_o sentence_n against_o the_o ungodly_a the_o next_o thing_n that_o the_o text_n direct_v we_o to_o be_v the_o cause_n or_o reason_n of_o the_o sentence_n vers_fw-la 42._o for_o i_o be_v hungry_a and_o you_o give_v i_o no_o meat_n etc._n etc._n then_o reason_n be_v not_o give_v express_o either_o of_o their_o sin_n against_o the_o law_n of_o work_n that_o be_v because_o they_o be_v sinner_n and_o not_o perfect_o

to_o christ_n be_v work_n of_o mercy_n and_o self-denial_n and_o why_o be_v this_o so_o 1._o we_o must_v not_o suppose_v that_o these_o word_n of_o christ_n do_v express_v the_o whole_a judicial_a process_n in_o every_o point_n but_o the_o chief_n part_n it_o be_v suppose_v that_o all_o man_n be_v convict_v of_o be_v sinner_n against_o the_o perfect_a law_n of_o the_o creator_n and_o that_o they_o be_v guilty_a of_o death_n for_o that_o sin_n and_o that_o there_o be_v no_o way_n but_o by_o christ_n to_o obtain_v deliverance_n but_o because_o all_o this_o must_v be_v acknowledge_v by_o the_o righteous_a themselves_o as_o well_o as_o by_o the_o wicked_a therefore_o christ_n do_v not_o mention_v this_o but_o that_o only_o wchich_v be_v the_o turn_a point_n or_o cuase_v in_o the_o judgement_n for_o it_o be_v not_o all_o sinner_n that_o shall_v be_v final_o condemn_v but_o all_o impenitent_a unbeleive_v sinner_n who_o have_v rebel_v final_o against_o their_o redeemer_n 2._o and_o the_o reason_n why_o faith_n itself_o be_v not_o express_v be_v 1._o because_o it_o be_v clear_o employ_v and_o so_o be_v love_n to_o christ_n as_o redeemer_n in_o that_o they_o shall_v have_v relieve_v christ_n himself_o in_o his_o member_n that_o be_v as_o it_o be_v express_v matth._n 10._o 42._o they_o shall_v have_v receive_v a_o prophet_n in_o the_o name_n of_o prophet_n and_o a_o

that_o the_o bare_a act_n of_o believe_v be_v not_o all_o that_o christ_n require_v to_o a_o man_n final_a juitification_n and_o salvation_n but_o holy_a self_n deny_v obedience_n must_v be_v add_v and_o therefore_o this_o be_v give_v as_o the_o reason_n of_o their_o condemnation_n that_o they_o do_v not_o so_o obey_v we_o must_v observe_v also_o that_o christ_n here_o put_v the_o special_a for_o the_o general_a that_o be_v one_o way_n of_o self-denying_a obedience_n and_o expression_n of_o love_n instead_o of_o such_o obedience_n in_o general_n for_o all_o man_n have_v not_o ability_n to_o relieve_v those_o in_o misery_n be_v perhaps_o some_o of_o they_o poor_a themselves_o but_o all_o have_v that_o love_n and_o self-denial_n which_o will_v some_o way_n express_v itself_o and_o all_o have_v heart_n and_o a_o disposition_n to_o do_v thus_o if_o they_o have_v ability_n without_o such_o a_o difposition_n none_o can_v be_v save_v it_o be_v the_o fond_a conceit_n of_o some_o that_o if_o they_o have_v any_o love_n to_o the_o godly_a or_o wish_v they_o well_o it_o be_v enough_o to_o prove_v they_o happy_a but_o christ_n here_o purposely_o let_v we_o know_v that_o whoever_o do_v not_o love_v he_o at_o so_o high_a a_o rate_n as_o that_o he_o can_v part_v with_o his_o substance_n or_o any_o thing_n in_o the_o world_n to_o those_o use_n which_o he_o shall_v require_v they_o even_o to_o relieve_v his_o servant_n in_o want_n and_o suffering_n for_o the_o master_n sake_n that_o man_n be_v none_o of_o christ_n disciple_n nor_o will_v be_v own_v by_o he_o at_o the_o last_o xi_o the_o next_o point_n that_o we_o come_v to_o be_v to_o show_v you_o the_o property_n of_o this_o sentence_n at_o judgement_n when_o man_n have_v break_v the_o law_n of_o his_o creator_n at_o
