MATTH. 16.27. Then shall he reward every man according to his works.
The dependence of this Text is limited in few lines, and that your eyes wander no further then this verse, therein is kept a general Assize; the Judge, Officers, Prisoners stand in array, the Judge is God, and the Son of man; the Officers Angels, and they are his Angels; the Prisoners men, and because of the Gaol-delivery, every man. If you will have all together, you have a Judge his circuit, his habit, his attendants, his judgments: a Judge, the Son of man; his circuit, he shall come; his habit, in the glory of his Father; his attendants, with his Angels: what now remains, but the execution of justice? then without more ado see the Text, and you see all; the scales in his hand, our works in the scales, the reward for our works, of just weight each to other; Then he shall reward every man according to his works.
