Hereupon it is that the word of God is a glass wherein we may see our own condition infallibly, what will become of us, the Word of God judgeth thus, he that lives in such and such sins shall come to this end, God will inflict these and these judgements upon him. Judgement in the first place is, you shall do this and this, because it is good. Judgement in the second place is, because you have not done this, this shall befall you, so the Evangelical judgement of the Gospel is this, He that repents and believes shall not perish, but have everlasting life: but he that arms and furnisheth his heart to rebellion, he shall perish in his sins, He that believeth not is condemned already, the wrath of God hangs over his head. So from this, that Gods truth is called judgement, we may know how to judge of our selves, even as God judgeth in his Word▪ we may see our own faces and conditions there, he that is a man of death may see it in the Word, and he that is appointed for happiness may there see his condition.

Iudgement in the first place is, you shall doe this and this, because it is good. Iudgement in the second place is, because you have not done this, this shall befall you, so the Evangelicall judgement of the Gospell is this, He that repents and beleeves shall not perish, but have everlasting life: but he that armes and furnisheth his heart to rebellion, he shall perish in his sinnes, He that believeth not is condemned allready, the wrath of God hangs over his head. So from this, that Gods truth is called judgement, we may know how to judge of our selves, even as God judgeth in his Word▪ wee may see our owne faces and conditions there, hee that is a man of death may see it in the Word, and he that is appointed for happinesse may there see his condition.
