1. Consider that it is the express word of the God of Truth; revealed in Scripture as plainly as you can desire. So that you cannot be unbelieving without denying Gods Word, or giving him the lye, Mat. 13.38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 49, 50. Mat. 25. throughout▪ Rom. 2.5▪ 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 16, and 1.32. John 5.28, 29. The hour is coming in which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, and shall come forth: they that have ⟨p. 230⟩done good, unto the resurrection of life, and they that have done evil, unto the Resurrection of damnation. Heb. 9.27. It is appointed to all men once to dye, and after this, the Judgement. Rom. 14.9.12. So then every one of us shall give Account of himself to God. Rev. 20.12. And I saw the dead, small and great stand before God: and the Books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the Book of life: and the dead were Judged out of those things which were written in the Books, according to their works. Mat. 12.36, 37. But I say unto you, that every idle word that men shall speak, the shall give account thereof in the day of Judgement: For by thy words thou shalt be Justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned. Many more most express Texts of Scripture do put the Truth of this Judgement out of all question, to all ⟨p. 231⟩that believe the Scripture, and will understand it. There is no place left for a Controversy in the point: It is made as sure to us as the Word of the living God can make it: And he that will question that, what will he Believe? What say you Sirs? Dare you doubt of this which the God of Heaven hath so positively affirmed? I hope you dare not.
