First, The Subject of it, Christ. It is he that i• ordained to be §1Judge. Judgement is the act of the whole undivided Trinity. The Father and Spirit Judge as well as Christ in respect of authority and consent, but it's the act of Christ in respect of visible management, and execution and so it's his per proprietatem, by propriety the Father having conferred it upon him, as the Son of man; but not his per appropriationem, so as to exclude either the Father or Spirit from their authority, for they Judge by him.

Secondly, The Object of Christs Judiciary authority. The §2quick and dead, (i. e.) all that at his coming do live, or ever had lived. This is the Object personal. All the men and women that ever sprang from Adam, all the Apostate Spirits that fell from Heaven, and are reserved in chains to the Judgement of this great day. And in this personal object, is included the real object, viz. all the actions both secret and open that ever they did, 2 Cor. 5.5. Rom. 2.16.
