355. Christ will be here both Judge and Advocate, and as both justify Believers: And he will be the condemning Judge of the Wicked.
355. Christ will be here both Judge and Advocate, and as both justifie Believers: And he will be the condemning Judge of the Wicked.
356. All men shall be then judged according to their Works or Deeds done in the Body, whether Good or Evil.
*357. To be justified then will not be to be judged sinless, (as is aforesaid) but to be judged one that by Gods Law (which must be the norma judicii) is not to be damned to Hell, but to be glorified in Heaven, or to be sentenced to endless life, and acquit from this Accusation that we are damnandi, or to be punished in Hell. And in order ⟨p. 120⟩to this, to be sentenced such as have the true causes and conditions of Right to Impunity and Life: which are, 1. Immediately the gift of this Right by God himself in his Covenant, with Christ the Fountain of it.
- *It is a gross over-sight of D. Petavius, Elen. There. Vincent. c. 27. p. 110, 111. to acknowledge no other Reatus but obligation ad poenam; when as there is, 1. Reatus facti. 2. Culpae, which is the violation of the Precept. 3. Ad poenam, which resulteth from the threatening. And worse, p. 110. that non omne peccatum est culpa sed hoc solum quod ex voluntate, id est▪ libero arbitrio & alectione committitur nec imputatur in culpam nisi ex deliberatione & libera voluntatis electione trocedat. A'as, that God's Law must be thus denied or depraved, that sin may be made no sin, and so to need no Christ or Pardon. Cont. 1. Analogically it is peccatum in an Ox to go out of the furrow: But properly nothing in man is peccatum, but culpa: And all breaking a Law is culpa, and nothing else is peccatum. 2. Not to deliberate is a great and usual sin. 3. The omission of the Wills election or intention is sin, as well as an ill election. Woe to him that repenteth not of these, and is not pardoned them.
