Secondly, to show the case of all wicked men: namely, that such woe and misery shall befall them as they never once thought of. The Jews and Gentiles which crucified Christ, never dreamed of this; that he whom they then put to a temporal death, should one day be their Judge, and condemn them to eternal death, unless they had repented.
Secondly, to shew the case of all wicked men: namely, that such woe and miserie shall befall them as they neuer once thought of. The Iewes and Gentiles which crucified Christ, neuer dreamed of this; that he whom they then put to a temporall death, should one day be their Iudge, and condemne them to eternall death, vnlesse they had repented.
Thirdly, to show the rueful and woeful estate of all impenitent sinners; they shall rise to judgement, and have the greatest enemy their Judge, who will show rigour upon them, and justice without all mercy: for this piercing of Christ is meant not only of the Jew, which put him to death, but of all ungodly person•; because all such do by their sins, as with swords and spears wound him at the heart as the soldiers did. Impenitent sinners be as the Jews which crucified Christ, as Judas which betrayed him, and as the soldiers which goar•• his side: and unless they now repent, they shall one day be judged as his enemies.
Thirdly, to shew the rufull and wofull estate of all impenitent sinners; they shall rise to iudgement, and haue the greatest enemie their Iudge, who will shew rigor vpon them, and iustice without all mercie: for this peircing of Christ is meant not onely of the Iew, which put him to death, but of all vngodly person•; because all such do by their sinnes, as with swords and speares wound him at the heart as the souldiers did. Impenitent sinners be as the Iewes which crucified Christ, as Iudas which betrayed him, and as the soldiers which goar•• his side: and vnlesse they now repent, they shall one day be iudged as his enemies.
