Your Worships in all duty for euer to commaund Henry Greenewood A Treatise of the Great and general day of Iudgment necessary for euery Christian that wisheth good successe to his soule at that great and terrible day But I say vnto you that of euery idle word that men shall speake they shall giue an account thereof at the day of â—udgement math 12.36 MAn in regard of the corruption of his nature through the fall of his greate Grandfather Adam who was the foyle of Mankinde the parent of sinne and the author of death to all his posteritie forasmuch as wee were all In Iumbis Adama In his Ioynes as hee is subiect to all sinnes whatsoeuer so is hee especially addicted to the sinne of securitie and carelesnesse Therefore as Adam sleeping securely in his transgression and hiding himselfe from the presence of the Lorde behinde the bush had greate neede of that watchbell from God to rouse him from the sleepe of sinne and to call him againe vnto God Adam vbi es Adam where art thou So as necessary for euery sinful Adamite to raise him vp from the sleepe of sinne wherein hee was borne is this notable Memento this worthy rehearsall of the great and terrible day of doome But I say vnto you c. which wordes of our Sauiour Christ spoken to the scribes and pharisees who would not beleeue that be wrought this miracles by the powrful spirit of God but slanderously and contemptuously tolde him to his face that hee did cast out diuels through Beelzebubs name are as much in effect as if he had said on this manner It account must be rendered at the daye of Iudgement of euery idle word that men shall speake then much more of blaspheamous wordes But I say vnto you that of euery idle worde that men shal speak they shall giue account therof at the general day of Iudgement Ergo much more of blasphemous wordes as yours are in saying that I cast out diuels through the name of Beelzebub So that these words of our Sauiour are nothing else but a true proposition and sound argument drawne A minore ad maius whereby Christ doth prooue the greatnes of punishment that should befall the blaspheamous Pharisees in regarde of the greatnesse of they re sinne In which portion of Scripture fowre things necessarily must be considered 1 The persons that must giue account who they bee 2 Of what things these persons must giue an account 3 To whome must this account bee giuen 4 When this account must bee giuen 1 The persons that muste giue an account they are expressed in this text in general to be meÌ„ That men shall speake Men yea all men must giue an account as wee may reade in the Epistle of Saint Paule to the Corinthians VVee must all appeare before the tribunall seat of Christe that euery man may receiue according to his works All men none excepted of euery age of euery sex and of euery nation ritch and poore Princes and common people noble and ignoble all that haue beene from the beginning of the worlde and shall bee to the end of the same shall appeare before Christs Iudgement seat and giue an account euery one for himselfe to God For It it is appointed vnto men once to die and after that commeth iudgment As it is therfore most sure that al men must die so it is sure that all men most come to iudgment
This is the seuenth article of our faith to beleeue that Christ shall come from heauen to iudge the quick and the dead by the deade all those are to bee vnderstoode that shall bee found dead at the second comming of Christ by the quicke all those are to bee vnderstoode that shall bee found liuing at that his second comming Augustine in his Enchirioson to Laurentius chapter 55. sayth that this article may bee expounded two wayes eyther by the dead sayth be may be meant those that shall be found corporally dead by the quicke those that shall be found corporally liuing at Christs comming or saith hee by the dead may bee meant those that bee dead in sinne according to that in the Gospell of Matthew Let the dead bury their dead and by the quicke those that be dead to sinne and liuing by faith according to that of the Prophet Abacucke the iust shall liue by faith But this exposition is not agreeable to the simplicity of the Creed Yet notwithstanding true it is that both the godly and the wicked shall come to iudgement for by the power of Christ all men shall be raised vp the holy Angels with the greate sound of a Trumpet shal be sent forth into all the world and they shall gather togither the elect from the fowre quarters of the earth from one end of the heauen to the other Then shall Christ separate the electe from the reprobates the wheate from the Tares the come from the cheffe the Lambes from the Contes the iust from the vniust So that you see that the godly and the wicked yea all men whatsoeuer shall appeare before Christs tribunall seate and giue an accounte of themselues and for themselues to the terrible Iudge Ob. Som not withstanding may obiect against this doctrin deliuered and say as it to in Iohn That bee that beleeueth in Christ shall not be iudged or shall not come into iudgement and so by consequence all men shall not bee iudged Ans To which I answer that iudgment in that place of Iohn as in many other places of sacred scriptures is taken for condemnation in which sense true it is that bee that beleeueth in Christ Iesus he that is ingrafted into Christ by a true and aliuely faith he that is flesh of his flesh bone of his bone one with Christ and Christ with him by the spirituall coniunction of the Church with CHRIST this party shall not come into iudgement sâ—â—l Condemnationis that is of Condemnation in iudgement he shall not bee confounded condemned or ouerthrowne but he shall come in iudicium absolutionis that is Into the iudgement of absolution In iudgement hee shall stand out hauing on the white Robe of Christs righteousnesse and beeing couered with the wedding garment of Regeneration The trueth of which doctrine the Preacher affirmeth saying GOD will iudge the iust and the vniust The iust vnto saluation and the vniust to damnation Seing then that all must be brought to iudgement let no man thinke with himselfe that it may be possible for him to escape this dreadfull day whither shall hee flie from the presence of the Lord If he ascendeth vp to heaueÌ„ God is there if hee goe downe to hell God is there also if he take the wings of the morning and she to the vttermost parts of the sea God will finde him out there also For God is euery where hee is in heauen by his glory hee is vppon the earth by his mercy hee is in hell by his iustice God is vbique nulquam he is euery where by his power and wisedome but no where in respect of circumscription of place being a spirit In earthly and terrestriall courts a man may haue his proctor but then wee must volentes nolentes whether wee will or no personally appeare and pleade for our selues In terrestriall courts bribes many times blind the eyes of the wise and for a little greasing the fist of the Magistrate many times small faults nay by your leaue greate and scandalous crimes may be winked at but at this great court of heauen the Iudge will not be partial to any for God hath no respect of persons hee will execute iust iudgement vpon all men as the Psalmographer speaketh VVith righteousnes will be iudge the world and the people with equitle Bribes friends intreaties bowlings cries lamentations nothing wil then preuaile but a pure heart and a spirits vpright yea the damned in Hell confesse the same quid profuit nobis superbia quid diuitiaruÌ„ copia what hath pride profited vs or what hath the pomp of riches done vs good alas these cannot saue our soules Let the Atheist therfore mock God neuer to blasphemously let the Sadduces brag of no resurrection no Angel no spirit neuer so schismatically let the Epicure slug that cursed Epitaph of Sardanapalus neuer so beastly Ede lude bibe charum praeseÌ„tibus exple delicijs animuÌ„ post martem nulla voluptas that is Eat drink play be merry live in al kind of plesure for after death there is no pleasure Yet notwithstanding let all these miserable wretches know that there wil come a day and the a dismal day wherin they shall giue an account of euery idle word Alas lamentable world that men shoulde thus murther their dearest darlings I meane their soules which Christe hath holden so dear that men should with Esau sel their birthright and heritage of heaueÌ„ for a messe of pottage of worldy pleasure that men shoulde delight in wallowing with the sow in the myre of sin and with the dog in swallowing the vomit of iniquity so purchase to their souls and bodies euerlasting torment in the lake vnquenchable whereas they should aboue all things seeke the kingdome of God and the righteousnesse therof that they mighte haue heauenly mansions at the great day of account Let euery Christian therfore bewayle the wickednesse of this world lament the iniquity of these dates least it bee saide of vs as of the carelesse and gracelesse Christian Cadit afina est qui sublenet perist anima nonest quirecogitat If an asse falleth vnder his burthen there be some that will diligently helpe it vp againe but if a soule perish no man regardeth it Men are like the horse asse mule that haue no vnderstanding the more is the good mans griefe Dauid his eyes gushed out into riuers of water because men kept not gods law The prophet Ieremy crieth out on this maÌ„ner My belly my belly I am payned euen at the heart I cannot be quiet becaus my people is a foolish people they are wife to do euill but to doe well they haue no knowledge That godly Matrone Monica saiâ— Augustine mother wayte daily and prayed for her sonne a conuersion for hee was before his conuersion a Manichâ—e So likewise it is the duty of euery Christian to desire the conuersion of their
bee carefull and circumspect to all his wayes that hee treade not his shooe awry at any time that he offend not this fearefull iudge in any thing that at this day of iudgment hee may finde him a gentle and louing Lambe and not a Lyon of Iuda for as to the wicked this iudge is terrible so to the godly hee is a friendly and a welcome Iudge as to the wicked the day of iudgement is a daye of desolation a day of cloudes and blacknesse so to the godly it is a day of redemption yea the godly shall leape for ioy at that day and for the comming of that eternall daye the blessed spirits in heauen cry out saying how long Lord and the blessed ones vpon earth desiring the comming of this day also saying with Paule Cupimus dissolui esse cum Christo id est Wee desire to bee dissolued and to bee with Christ and praying with Iohn Veni Domine Iesu Come Lord Jesus come quickly Let euery Christian therefore so lead his life that it may goe well with him at that day What if J haue all the world and loose my soule at that day what doth it profit me If a man be called to appeare before some earthly iudge hee will haue an especial care to array himself in the best manner hee may and to be haue himselfe accordingly that hee may bee the better accepted of him So euery Christian against the daye of iudgement when hee must appeare before the king of Kings and iudge of all the worlde must haue an especiall care to put on the wedding garment of Christs righteousnesse and regeneration least hee bee sent packing to Hell with the wicked and all those that forget God Mordecay because he went basely in sackcloth could not bee permitted to come into the Kings pallace and doest thou thinke whatsoeuer thou art that thou shalt be admitted into the glorious Pallace of the King of heauen hauing on the stinking defiled abhominable garment of impurity and the menstruous cloath of iniquity no no the Lord will spue thee out of his mouthe a stinking carkas stinketh not to before men as a polluted sinner in the nostrells of almighty God Nebuchadnezzar woulde haue no children in his Pallace but those that were wise and beautifull and doest thou think that the King of heaueÌ„ and earth will haue any fooles that is sinners for the sinner is called a foole in the Scripture the fooâ—e â—ath said in his heart there is no God to dwell with him in his Pallace or doest thou think that any vgly person shall bee suffered there that is any sinner for the sinner is an vglye and abhominable thing in the sight of God no the Lord will entertaine none into his kingdome but such as are beautifull shining in holinesse purity and righteousnesse as the portalls of the burnisht sunne such as are without spot or wrinckle Omnino ad imaginem suam altogither like vnto him holy as hee is holy pure as hee is pure such will the Lord haue in his kingdome to sing Halleluiah Saluation and glory and honor and power be to the Lord our God Therefore as the theefe is exceeding prouident and very carefull how hee may aunswere the Iudge at the barre and as in earthlye courtes men will be very carefull to prouide an answere against they bee called yea and will make some friende to the iudge that they may speede the better So likewise euery Christian soule shoulde carefully prouide a good aunswere againste hee bee cited by the Apparitour death to appeare before Christe at the generall Courte of Heauen And that then it may goe well with him let him get some friend to mooue the iudge in his behalfe as he tendereth the welfare of his deare soule and who must that friende bee Not Mary nor Peter but it muste be Christ Iesus that sitteth at the right hand of his father in glory and maketh daily intercession for the sinnes of the whole worlde Get him for thy Proctour who offereth himselfe to al and then happie shalt thou bee the diuel shall not preuaile against thee for Christ hath broken his head the gates of Hell shall not preuaile against thee for Christ hath conquered them and death shall not bolde thee captiue for christ hath ouercome it Happy art thou that art in such a case yea blessed arte thou if thou hast the Lord for thy God Thus much for the third pare of this Text namely of the iudge to whome we must giue an account But I say vnto you that of euery idle word c. 4 When we shall giue an account it is said heer at the day of iudgement The time wheÌ„ this great generall day shal be cannot be known of mortal maÌ„ yea it is not for maÌ„ to know of it as we may read in the Acts It is not for you to know the times seasons which God hath put in his owne power yea Christe himselfe knoweth not of this day But of that day and houre saith Marke knoweth no man no not the Angels which are in heauen neither the Sonne himlelfe saue the Father id est Christe according to his humane nature knoweth not of it but according to his diuine nature he knoweth of it as well as God the Father for he is coequall with God the Father in knowledge wisedome and in all thinges whatsoeuer yea hee knewe of this daye before the foundation of the world was laide yea he himselfe shal sit iudge at the day God will not haue vs know of this daye when it shall bee for these three causes 1 To prooue and trie our patience faith and other vertues to see whether wee will put our whole trust and affiance in him although wee â—â—â—â—…e not the time of our dissolution 2 To bridle our curiositie and peeuish inquisition after such too high matters qua supra nos nihil ad nos that which is aboue our capacitie wee ought not to meddle withall 3 To keepe vs in continuall watchfulnesse for if wee knew certainely the day of death and iudgement surely it would be a greate and forcible motiue to drawe vs to a loose negligent and secure kind of life Watch therfore saith the Euangelist because yee know not when your Maister will come For these three causes the Lord will not haue vs know of the time of iudgement Although my beloued in Christe we know not the certainetie of the time of this day yet neuerthelesse wee muste knowe that this great and general day cannot bee farre off both according to the prophesies of holy Fathers as also to the truth of holy Scriptures Augustine in his booke vpon Genesis against the Manichees saith that the worlde shoulde laste sixe ages the first from Adam to Noah the second from Noah to Abraham the third from Abraham to
