Answ. There is a twofold readiness. 1. When you are in a safe case. 2. When you are in a comfortable case, in regard of that day. The latter is very desirable, but the first is of absolute necessity: this therefore is it that you must principally enquire after.
In General, all those, and only those are ready for Judgement, ⟨p. 248⟩who shall be justified and saved, and not condemned when Judgement comes; They that have a good cause in a Gospel sense. It may be known before hand who these are; for Christ Judgeth, as I told you, by his Law. And therefore find out whom it is that the Law of grace doth justify or condemn, and you may certainly know whom the Judge will Justify or Condemn; for he Judgeth righteously.

If you further ask me who these are; remember that I told you before, that every man that is personally righteous by fulfilling the Condition of Salvation in the Gospel, shall be saved, and he that is found unrighteous, as having not fulfilled them, shall perish at that day.
