To the first we say, that only as man he will appear our judge, who as man appeared when himself was judged; what better reason to express the benefit of our redemption then so to judg us as he did redeem us?1 was he not man that suffered, died, and was buried? and is he not man that one day shall come to judg both the quick and dead? he that came obscurely to be judged by the unjust, shall then appear openly to judg all the just: the same man, who is God and man, shall be our judge in his humane nature, by his divine power. Thus we say, God, (who is the ancient of days) hath the power original; but man (who is the Son of God) hath the power traduced, and therefore saith Daniel, One ⟨p. 99⟩like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the ancient of days, and they brought him here before him, 2and there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom.
