person it is the Apostles argument therefore let none dislike the Logick As in Adam all die so in Christ all shall be made alive 1 Cor. 15.21 Christs resurrection is a seale of the resurrection of all good and bad Nay Christ being risen all shall rise and come to judgement to this height the Apostle carries this point Because he hath appointed a day in which he will judge the world in righteousnesse by the man whom he hath appointed whereof he hath given assurance unto all men in that he hath raised him from the dead Act. 17.31 I collect from the Scripture that Christs resurrection sealeth two things to us that all shall rise and that all shall come to be judged by him And O wicked man how dreadfull will this judgement be to thee 'T is dreadfull for a Christian to be brought now before Christ in the Court of conscience as he sits there and makes that weake part of man to speak against one in his stead as I gather by that of Ioh And dost thou open thine eye upon such a one and bringest me into judgement Job 14.3 and calls man a shadow Man here is indeed but a shadow gone of an instant as flower and yet to bring this shadow into judgement before Christ as he sits in the Court of conscience here O how unsusserably dreadfull it is to a good man but how dreadfull then to a bad but how dreadfull will it to be a wicked man hereafter when brought before Christ personally and in all his glory as Judge of all the world with ten thousand of his Saints as Iude speakes when neither Judge nor Judged a shadow when every wicked man shall be brought in a durable condition and state of body as well as of soule to beare a blow a bruise a wound and the rankling of it in every veine from head to foot to all eternity Severall things lead me to thinke that the great day of Christs judicature will be very dreadfull to all the wicked One because man shall appeare then not as a shadow but as a substance as an everlasting substance to beare the height of Gods displeasure Secondly because his sinnes also shall not then appeare as a shadow Alas 't is but the shadow of sinne that revives and appeareth in conscience now and yet when this resurrection is of the shadow of sinne man dies is feare round about but then sinne in its substance the heart of sinne yea sinne with all its demensions longitude latitude height depth bredth every secret which now no eye sees the bookes shall be then opened and every idle word and idle thought shall be set in order and all the dead stretched out and layd naked before him with whom we have to doe yea and set in order before the soule it selfe and conscience made to say all this is true When there shall be such a resurrection of the dead of all the dead sinnes dead and gone out of memory for many scores of yeeres all together made to revive in conscience at once with all their circumstances of time place and the like in their full strength and Christ by in all his glory and all the Saints and holy Angels seeing all as plainly as the man himselfe these things make me think 't will be then a very dreadull day to all ungodly wretches The Apostle Paul was possest with this thing better by far then I am and laboured to possesse his hearers with it as now I do you Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord we perswade men 2 Cor. 5.11 What is this terror why the point I am upon read the Verse foregoing For we must all appear before the judgement seat of Christ that everyone may receive the things done in his body according to that he hath done whether it be good or bad Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord we perswade men Christ being risen all shall rise all men and all their actions good and bad and these shall be proclaimed all over the world at once all over two worlds at once met together this to the wicked will be terrible indeed the very glimpses of this are terrible therefore sure the thing it selfe farre more When Paul reasoned with Faelix about judgement to come Faelix trembled Acts 24.25 When Herod did but thinke that Iohn the Baptist was risen again whom he had murthered how it affrighted him Herod feared Iohn when alive but much more after he arose and lived again Mark 6.15 16. one from the dead is terrible Persons in their resurrection are other persons for majesty and terrour so sinnes in their resurrection are other sinnes for bignesse dread and horror all these meeting will make horripilation in perfection every haire of thy head stare every eye-string stretch and every heart-string twist together and teare and yet no eye shall pity thee of all that innumerable company of just men made perfect that then shall appeare and sit upon thee Let no wile cause you to evade the weight of things And when they heard of the resurrection of the dead some mocked and others said we will heate thee again of this matter Acts 17.32 Doe not in your hearts scoffe at this truth though weakly held out unto you doe not put farre from you the evill day doe not in your hearts deny the resurrection or say it is past already as Hymenens and Phyletus who overthrew the faith of some and their words did eat as a canker 2 Tim. 2.8 Thus doe some men now who tell us that the resurrection is past and they introduced into a new world and the day of judgement past making things of the greatest substantialitie Doct. allegories chimeras and fancies but now see Christians by this which hath been said that these temptations are not small and light they overthrow that which is the main foundation of mans salvation Many others there are which though Historicall believers of this truth yet believe not that such things beare upon it as I thinke that great man was one of which we read Acts 26.25 26 27. I am not mad most noble Festus but speak forth the words of truth and sobernesse for the King knoweth of these things before whom also I speake freely for I am perswaded that none of those things are hidden from him for this thing was not done in a corner c. a man is judged a mad man when he presseth upon great men especially great and weighty points This point also is much for the consolation of all the children of Christ Vse 2 Christ being risen we are delivered from the obliging power of sinne Christ was delivered for our effences and raised again for our justification Rom. 4.25 As the end of Christs death was to satisfie so the end of his resurrection is to justifie to give testimony before God Angels Men and Divels that he hath gone through all in our stead and person well and to demand an acquittance from God in our name for
