3. Yet i• not this Judgment a bare Declaration, but a Decision, and so a Declaration thereupon: the Cause will be then put out of Controversy, and all farther Expectation of Decision be at an End; and with the Justified there will be no more Accusation, and with the Condemned no more Hope for ever.
II. For the second Thing, who shall be the Judg; I answer, The Judg is God himself by Jesus Christ.
1. Principally, God as Creator.
2. As also, God as Redeemer; the humane Nature of Jesus Christ having a derived subordinate Power. God lost not his Right to his Creature either by Man's Fall, or the Redemption by Christ, but by the latter hath a new farther Right: but it is in and by Christ that God judgeth: For as mere Creator of innocent Man, God judgeth none, but hath committed all Judgment to the Son, who hath procured this Right by the redeeming of fallen Man, Joh. 5. 22. But as the Son only doth it in the nearest Sense, so the Father as Creator doth it remotely and principally.
