2. He is Judex caelestis▪ He is as ythe God of heaven, so the Judge of heaven: an heavenly, a celestial Judge. For, zOur God is in heaven. And, aThe wrath of God is revealed from heaven. And, bTh•u causedst thy judgement to •e heard from heau•. They are but cJudges of earth that judge the earth. Earth they judge, and earth they are. dHo•o judicans hominem, terra judicans terram: saith Augustine. When Man judgeth Man, Earth judgeth Earth. But, Deus judicans hominem, Column judicans coenum: When God judgeth man, Heaven judgeth earth. eI have sinned against heaven, saith the Prodigal son; that is, against fGod in heaven. And, gJohns Baptism, saith our Saviour, was it from heaven or of Men? that is, of God or of man. And, hHomo Deo, lutum sigulo; Man in Gods hand is but as clay in the Potters hand: ⟨p. 52⟩Even Princes and Judges as well as others, iwhom therefore if they be […] the wiser, he will bruise with his iron mace, and break them to shivers like an earthen vessel.
