these_o the_o prophecy_n of_o enoch_n the_o seven_o from_o adam_n record_v judge_n 14.15_o behold_v the_o lord_n come_v with_o ten_o thousand_o of_o his_o saint_n to_o execute_v judgement_n upon_o

you_o shall_v see_v a_o wonderful_a confusion_n of_o thing_n a_o strange_a inequality_n of_o divine_a dispensation_n the_o wicked_a many_o time_n flourish_v and_o enjoy_v great_a prosperity_n when_o the_o righteous_a be_v afflict_v and_o endure_v great_a adversity_n now_o though_o some_o do_v from_o hence_o conclude_v that_o there_o be_v no_o present_a providence_n and_o shall_v be_v no_o future_a judgement_n yet_o this_o confusion_n of_o thing_n and_o inequality_n of_o divine_a dispensation_n be_v a_o argument_n sufficient_a in_o saint_n paul_n divinity_n to_o prove_v a_o judgement_n to_o come_v hear_v what_o saint_n paul_n write_v from_o athens_n to_o his_o persecute_a thessalonian_o your_o persecution_n and_o tribulation_n which_o you_o endure_v be_v a_o manifest_a token_n or_o

no_o providence_n therefore_o no_o judgement_n to_o come_v no_o but_o the_o plain_a contrary_n i_o say_v in_o my_o heart_n god_n shall_v judge_v the_o righteous_a and_o the_o wicked_a for_o a_o time_n

to_o the_o sacred_a three_o in_o one_o and_o to_o god_n in_o all_o object_n but_o it_o may_v be_v object_v that_o albeit_o in_o this_o place_n judgement_n be_v attribute_v essential_o to_o god_n yet_o in_o other_o place_n it_o be_v attribute_v personal_o and_o respective_o to_o christ_n the_o father_n judge_v no_o man_n but_o have_v commit_v all_o judgement_n to_o the_o son_n joh._n 5.22_o again_o sometime_o this_o work_n of_o judge_v be_v appropriate_v to_o the_o saint_n know_v you_o not_o that_o the_o saint_n shall_v judge_v the_o world_n 1_o cor._n 6.2_o how_o shall_v these_o place_n be_v

say_v to_o judge_n because_o the_o power_n and_o right_n of_o judge_v belong_v to_o god_n only_o 2._o christ_n be_v say_v to_o judge_n because_o god_n have_v commit_v to_o he_o the_o administration_n

the_o godly_a of_o damnation_n to_o the_o wicked_a the_o authority_n be_v go_n the_o execution_n be_v christ_n the_o approbation_n be_v the_o saint_n this_o distinction_n be_v sufficient_a to_o free_v the_o scripture_n from_o the_o least_o contradiction_n and_o the_o point_n from_o this_o objection_n and_o now_o have_v clear_v the_o point_n that_o almighty_a god_n only_o shall_v judge_v the_o world_n i_o will_v confirm_v it_o by_o two_o reason_n draw_v from_o two_o attribute_n in_o god_n prove_v he_o only_o fit_a to_o be_v the_o judge_n of_o all_o the_o world_n the_o first_o reason_n be_v

this_o lord_n thou_o know_v all_o thing_n say_v saint_n peter_n joh._n 21.17_o again_o heb._n 4.13_o there_o be_v no_o creature_n that_o be_v not_o manifest_a in_o his_o sight_n but_o all_o thing_n

of_o the_o grace_n and_o mercy_n of_o god_n and_o this_o determination_n we_o prove_v thus_o 1._o by_o scripture_n which_o most_o express_o teach_v every_o where_n that_o eternal_a life_n be_v a_o
