Christ shall set all his adversaries before his own face, and the face of his Church: where they shall behold those become their Judges, whom they once esteemed and used as their slaves. mThis is he whom we sometimes had in derision: now he is numbered among the children of GOD, and his portion is among the Saints. But why is the execution of this judgement committed to the second person in the Trinity; to Christ?

1. It is fit that he, who came to be iudged, should also come to iudge. Tunc manifestus veniet inter iustos iudicaturus 1iustè, qui occultè vener at iudicandus ab iniustis iniustè. He that came in humility to be iudged by the vniust vniustly, shall come in glory to iudge all iustly.
