A. Gods Judgment is not like Mans, by long talk and wordy Trial, though Christ open the Reasons of it after the manner of Men; Gods Judgment consisteth of full Conviction and Execution: And he can convince all Men in a moment by his Light, shining at once into every ones Conscience: As the Sun can enlighten at once the Millions of Eyes all over the Earth. And Gods execution (casting all the wicked into utter darkness and misery) needs no long time, though it's continuance will be for ever.e

Q. 12. May we know in this life, what Judgment Christ will then pass on us?
Q. 12. May we know in this life, what Iudgment Christ will then pass on us?
A. All Men, or most Men do not know it: Nor will it be known by a slight and sudden Thought; nor by blinded or self-flattering Sinners; nor by the worser sort of true Believers, that sin as much as will stand with sincerity; nor yet by such ignorant Christians who understand not well the terms of the Covenant of Grace, or have true Grace, and know it not to be true: nor yet by such timorous Christians, whose fear doth hinder Faith and Reason. But there is no doubt but we may know, and ought to use all diligence to know what Sentence Christ will pass upon us.
