There is an opinion that takes in a fourth sense about this word judgement, as if judgement were not a forensicall, or a judicial term in this text, but signified only afflictions or punishments upon a people or person.1 These are called the judgements of God, Rom. 11.33. How unsearchable are his judgements, and his ways past finding out? that is, the several acts which he passes upon men, his providences & outward dispensations (for he speaks of casting off of the Jews, and laying them aside for so long a time, which is one of the greatest, if not the greatest judgment which God ever burdened his own Covenant people with) These (saith he) are past finding out. And then, If I come to speak of judgement, is, If I speak with God about his judgements showed in those terrible providential acts upon others, or upon my self, and cite him to answer for what he hath done towards me or them; Who is able to plead? Who will undertake this cause against the Lord?
