Christs eternal existence, and the dignity of his person asserted and proved in opposition…

1. Certain it is that the wicked shall rise again, there is no question of that, Act. 24.15. I believe a Resurrection of the dead both of the just and unjust, all that have lived whether they have done good or evil, Matth. 5.45. He makes his Sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust, and it is said John 5.28, 29. All that are in their graves shall hear his voice, and shall come forth, they that have done good to the Resurrection of Life, and they that have done evil to the Resurrection of damnation, both must rise that both may receive a full recompense according to their several ways, and though it be said Psal. 1.6. The ungodly shall not stand in the judgement, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous, it doth not infringe this truth, the sense is those unhappy miscreants shall not be able to abide the trial, as being self condemned: To stand in the judgment is to make a bold defence, and whereas it is said also they shall not stand in the congregation of the righteous: you must know that at the day of doom, there is a congregation or a gathering together of all men, then a segregation, a separating the Sheep from the Goats, ⟨p. 150⟩then an aggregation, he shall set the sheep on his right hand and the goats on his left, so that they make up two distinct bodies, one of the good which is there called the congregation of the righteous; the other of the wicked, who are to be judged by Christ as a just and righteous Judge, assisted with his Holy Angels and the great Assembly and Council of Saints: Not one of the sinners shall remain in the company of the righteous, nor appear in their Society.
