every sin, with all the Circumstances and Aggravations; yea Omissions shall then be reckoned to them that thought themselves safe, because they were not gross and scandalous Sinners, Math. 25.42, 43. men shall be judged for their nots; yea, for defects and coming short in the manner of duties, as well as the matter, Mal. 11.14. Formality and Perfunctoriness, and Hypocrisy shall then come into open view. In a word, all the world of ungodly men (that have sinned, and not repented of their Sin) shall be judged at Christs Tribunal, and every man, according to the Light and Law, under which he hath lived; As many as have Sinned without Law, shall Perish without Law. Heathens shall be judged by the light of Nature; and as many as have Sinned *in the Law, shall be judged by the Law; And they that have Sinned under the Gospel, shall be judged by Jesus Christ according to the Gospel. Yea, they that sin against the Gospel, shall be judged by the light of Nature, by the Law of Moses, and by the Gospel too, as having not only sinned against Moses's Ink, but against Christ his Blood: And all these Trials will be severe; but especially the Trial in the Gospel Court: So that whereas Sinners flatter themselves with thoughts, That Trial by the Gospel, will be the easiest Trial, as if the Gospel were all Mercy; the Trial of the Gospel will be found to be the most severe, and above ⟨p. 167⟩all others intolerable: It was indeed a Gospel of Mercy, and a Gospel of Peace in the tenders and invitations and expostulations, and wooings and beseechings that were used; the Tears of the Ministers, and the blood of a Crucified Redeemer, while once the long-suffering of God, waited in the day of Grace: but all these are now past and gone, having been rejected, despised, and laughed to scorn by wretched proud Sinners, who with the bloody Jews, preferred a Barabbas before a Jesus; a base Lust before a precious Saviour; now is the time of Recompense come, the day of Vengeance from the presence of the Lord is come, and the Sinner shall know it. The terror of which day will further appear in these following Particulars.
