1. The Sentence on them on the Right hand, will contain, 1. Their Justification and Adjudication to Blessedness, and that both as generally denominated, & as particularly determined and described. 2. And the cause of this Judgement.
1. In general they shall be pronounced Blessed. Satan would ⟨p. 175⟩have had them cursed and miserable; the Law did curse them to misery; Many a fearful thought hath possessed their own breasts, lest they should prove at last accursed and miserable; But now they hear the contrary from their Judge. All the Promises in the Gospel could not perfectly overcome those their fears; all the comfortable words of the Ministers of the Gospel could not perfectly subdue them; all the tender mercies of God in Christ did not perfectly subdue them; But now they are vanquished all for ever. He that once hath heard his Redeemer in Judgement call him Blessed, will never fear being Cursed more. For he that Christ Blesseth, shall be Blessed indeed.
