The four last things viz. death, judgment, heaven, hell, practically considered and applied in…

1. The best Saints are guilty and deeply obnoxious to the Law, and the Judgment of God is invariably according to Truth; so that appearing in their Sins, they will be cast for ever. God's Tribunal, like that of the severe Roman Judg, is Reorum Scopulus, a Rock that dashes in pieces all the Guilty that come to it. Therefore the Psalmist so earnestly deprecates, Enter not into Judgment with thy Servant, O Lord; for in thy sight shall no Man living be justified. And the Apostle, tho' a transcendent Saint, divests himself of his own Righteousness, that he may be entirely covered with the Righteousness of Christ, and renounces all things, that he may be found in him as his Surety in that Day of Accounts, and obtain Pardon by virtue of his Satisfaction for Sin. We cannot perfectly obey the Commands, nor appease the Displeasure of God: but the expiatory Sacrifice of Christ propitiates ⟨p. 241⟩the Divine Justice. This alone can make us stand in Judgment before the fiery Law, and the fiery Tribunal, and the Judg who is a consuming Fire, to all the Guilty that appear in their Sins before him. The Blood of the Mediator has sprinkled the Throne of God in Heaven; and our Consciences being sprinkled with it by an unfeigned Faith, we may appear before God the Judg of all with an humble confidence, and enter into the Holy of Holies, the Celestial Sanctuary with joy.
