our_o creed_n where_o we_o be_v teach_v to_o believe_v that_o christ_n shall_v come_v from_o heaven_n to_o judge_v both_o the_o quick_a and_o dead_a that_o be_v all_o that_o shall_v be_v find_v dead_a

two_o to_o clear_v some_o few_o text_n which_o at_o the_o first_o view_n seem_v to_o have_v a_o flat_a contradiction_n one_o be_v psal_n 1.5_o the_o ungodly_a shall_v not_o stand_v in_o judgement_n the_o septuagint_n turn_v it_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d and_o so_o many_o latin_a father_n read_v it_o non_fw-la resurgent_fw-la shall_v not_o rise_v in_o judgement_n a_o bad_a translation_n it_o may_v be_v want_n of_o skill_n in_o the_o hebrew_n make_v they_o to_o follow_v the_o septuagint_n who_o be_v jew_n among_o who_o many_o hold_v a_o heresy_n that_o the_o soul_n of_o sinner_n shall_v perish_v with_o their_o body_n which_o error_n receive_v not_o the_o least_o strength_n from_o these_o word_n of_o the_o prophet_n david_n wherein_o he_o mean_v not_o that_o the_o wicked_a shall_v not_o come_v to_o be_v judge_v but_o they_o shall_v not_o be_v acquit_v in_o judgement_n they_o shall_v be_v find_v guilty_a and_o shall_v fall_v into_o eternal_a condemnation_n another_o place_n be_v

answer_v it_o can_v be_v deny_v that_o unbeliever_n be_v already_o condemn_v 1._o in_o god_n eternal_a decree_n who_o have_v appoint_v they_o to_o condemnation_n 2._o in_o god_n word_n which_o denounce_v damnation_n to_o to_o all_o that_o believe_v not_o 3._o in_o their_o own_o conscience_n which_o serve_v as_o a_o thousand_o witness_n to_o accuse_v they_o as_o a_o judge_n to_o condemn_v they_o and_o as_o a_o executioner_n to_o torment_v they_o but_o all_o this_o hinder_v not_o but_o that_o they_o must_v appear_v before_o the_o judgement_n seat_n of_o the_o lord_n that_o their_o sin_n may_v be_v open_o manifest_v their_o sentence_n public_o pronounce_v for_o the_o full_a manifestation_n of_o god_n justice_n to_o all_o the_o world_n another_o place_n be_v joh._n 5.24_o he_o that_o believe_v in_o god_n shall_v not_o come_v into_o judgement_n to_o this_o i_o answer_v that_o in_o this_o place_n our_o saviour_n by_o a_o trope_n put_v 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d for_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d

meaning_n of_o our_o saviour_n be_v that_o the_o faithful_a though_o they_o shall_v come_v to_o judgement_n yet_o they_o shall_v never_o come_v into_o condemnation_n they_o shall_v not_o come_v into_o the_o judgement_n of_o damnation_n but_o they_o shall_v come_v into_o the_o judgement_n of_o eternal_a absolution_n from_o their_o sin_n and_o misery_n that_o which_o they_o have_v here_o in_o part_n

liberty_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o so_o much_o for_o the_o three_o point_n i_o proceed_v to_o the_o four_o 4._o how_o god_n will_v judge_v he_o will_v judge_v in_o righteousness_n say_v the_o text._n that_o be_v the_o lord_n judicial_a proceed_n at_o the_o last_o day_n in_o judge_v some_o to_o the_o eternal_a &_o unutterable_a joy_n and_o glory_n of_o heaven_n and_o in_o doom_v other_o to_o the_o easeless_a and_o remediless_a torment_n of_o hell_n shall_v be_v most_o just_a and_o righteous_a hence_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n be_v call_v by_o saint_n paul_n the_o day_n of_o the_o revelation_n of_o the_o righteous_a judgement_n of_o god_n rom._n 2.5_o now_o the_o justice_n and_o righteousness_n of_o the_o lord_n proceed_v at_o the_o last_o day_n shall_v be_v declare_v to_o all_o the_o world_n two_o way_n 1._o god_n will_v have_v no_o respect_n of_o person_n as_o saint_n paul_n say_v rom._n 2.11_o that_o be_v in_o the_o act_n of_o judge_v the_o lord_n will_v not_o respect_v the_o outward_a quality_n and_o condition_n of_o any_o as_o country_n sex_n wealth_n poverty_n age_n youth_n beauty_n deformity_n honour_n ignominy_n or_o any_o outward_a circumstance_n

minority_n hinder_v the_o lord_n love_n saul_n sceptre_n shall_v not_o shelter_v he_o from_o god_n wrath_n nor_o david_n sheephook_n hold_v he_o back_o from_o god_n blessing_n lazarus_n his_o poverty_n shall_v not_o keep_v he_o out_o of_o abraham_n bosom_n nor_o dive_v his_o wealth_n free_v he_o from_o the_o place_n of_o torment_n it_o shall_v be_v no_o impeachment_n to_o cornelius_n that_o he_o be_v a_o gentile_a nor_o immunity_n to_o any_o that_o he_o be_v a_o jew_n but_o whosoever_o he_o be_v jew_n or_o gentile_n bond_n or_o free_a poor_a or_o rich_a male_a or_o female_n that_o fear_v god_n and_o work_v righteousness_n he_o shall_v be_v accept_v to_o salvation_n and_o whosoever_o he_o be_v that_o fear_v not_o god_n and_o work_v unrighteousness_n without_o partiality_n he_o shall_v be_v reject_v to_o damnation_n 2._o god_n will_v reward_v every_o man_n according_a to_o his_o work_n as_o saint_n paul_n say_v rom._n 2.6_o evil_n work_n be_v most_o certain_a evidence_n of_o infidelity_n and_o good_a work_n be_v inseparable_a fruit_n and_o infallible_a testimony_n and_o sign_n of_o save_a faith_n and_o therefore_o god_n to_o declare_v himself_o a_o righteous_a judge_n will_v make_v our_o work_n the_o rule_n of_o his_o retribution_n to_o every_o soul_n that_o do_v evil_a god_n will_v render_v indignation_n and_o wrath_n tribulation_n and_o anguish_n for_o evermore_o but_o to_o every_o soul_n that_o work_v good_a god_n will_v render_v glory_n honour_n peace_n and_o eternal_a life_n rom._n 2.7_o 8_o 9_o 10._o so_o just_a a_o retribution_n will_v the_o lord_n at_o the_o last_o day_n render_v to_o every_o person_n that_o all_o the_o world_n shall_v say_v just_o be_v thou_o o_o lord_n and_o true_a and_o righteous_a be_v thy_o judgement_n revel_v 6._o vers_fw-la 7._o but_o here_o two_o question_n may_v very_o fit_o be_v propound_v quest_n whether_o good_a work_n be_v meritorious_a cause_n of_o salvation_n because_o the_o apostle_n say_v god_n will_v reward_v every_o man_n according_a to_o his_o work_n and_o he_o say_v it_o to_o this_o end_n to_o declare_v the_o just_a and_o righteous_a judgement_n of_o the_o lord_n at_o the_o last_o day_n sol._n to_o which_o i_o answer_v that_o the_o usual_a collection_n of_o the_o papist_n from_o this_o and_o the_o like_a place_n be_v that_o therefore_o the_o good_a work_n of_o man_n justify_v and_o in_o grace_n be_v meritorious_a cause_n of_o eternal_a life_n but_o the_o judgement_n of_o our_o church_n and_o all_o other_o reform_a church_n be_v this_o that_o however_o good_a work_n do_v in_o grace_n be_v acceptable_a to_o god_n in_o jesus_n christ_n and_o shall_v by_o he_o be_v reward_v yet_o that_o acceptance_n and_o reward_n be_v not_o deserve_v by_o our_o work_n but_o be_v free_o bestow_v out_o 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 free_a gift_n of_o god_n mercy_n not_o a_o reward_n due_a to_o man_n merit_n see_v these_o place_n rom._n 6.23_o and_o 11.5.6_o ephes_n 2.8_o 9_o 2_o tim._n 1.9_o tit._n 2.11_o and_o 3.7_o i_o may_v add_v more_o but_o these_o be_v sufficient_a 2._o by_o reason_n which_o be_v enlighten_v by_o scripture_n strong_o argue_v and_o conclude_v that_o good_a work_n be_v not_o can_v be_v meritorious_a 1._o because_o we_o be_v creature_n psal_n 100.3_o 2._o we_o be_v sinful_a creature_n jam._n 3.2_o 3._o our_o good_a work_n be_v not_o we_o but_o god_n phil._n 2.13_o 4._o they_o be_v a_o due_a debt_n
