how would they down on their knees, and judg themselves worthy of a thousand Hells, and be content to suffer a thousand years Torment, to expiate their guilt! but though they would do this, and (if it were possible) ten thousand times more, no such word shall ever be spoken to them by the Judg; their time of Sinning is past, and their time of being judged is come; and, though they do now really judg themselves, yet the Judg will proceed to judg them also. The Sinner having thus justified the Judg, the Judg shall now Condemn the Sinner out of his own mouth; and solemnly setting himself down in the Judgment-Seat, shall openly in the Court proclaim the Sinner guilty; guilty of the whole Indictment preferred against him; And then proceed to pronounce Sentence in some such words as these; Sinner, thou hast been Indited, Arraigned, and Convicted of High-Treason, against the Supreme Majesty of Heaven, in the breach of his holy Law, and in contempt of his blessed Gospel, trampling the Son of God under foot, ¹and Crucifying him over and over again, and putting him to an open shame, &c: Hear now therefore thy sentence, Thou art Accursed for ever; the Wrath of God abideth upon thee, thou shalt not see light; ²Go thou Cursed into everlasting burnings, prepared for the Devil and his Angels: and what shall be said to one, shall be said to all, Depart from me ye Cursed, into everlasting fire, where the Worm never dyeth, and the fire is not quenched; into utter darkness, where is weeping, and wailing, and gnashing of Teeth, there to be tormented with the Devil and his Angels for ever. Now during all this tremendous transaction, the Saints shall sit in judicature as Assessors, or Justices of the Peace with Christ upon the Bench, seeing and hearing all that is done by the Judg, voting with him, approving and applauding him in his judicial proceedings, crying out with loud acclamations, Thou art Righteous, O Lord, which art, and wast, and shalt be, because thou hast judged thus: and other Saints shall echo to them saying, Even so Lord God Almighty, true and Righteous are thy Judgments! Thus the Saints ⟨p. 174⟩shall judg the world, ³yea, they shall judg the Angels, the Reprobate Angels; but of this I have spoken more largely in the former part of this Treatise.
