2. The wicked are raised, ex officio Judicis, not beneficio Mediatoris: they are raised by Christ as a Judge, but not by him as a Redeemer: The one sort are raised by the power of his vindicative Justice, the other by the Holy Ghost by virtue of his Covenant, Rom. 8.11. He shall quicken your mortal bodies by his spirit that dwelleth in you: The one by Christs power from without, put forth by him as Judge of dead and living; The other by an inward quickening influence that flows from him as their proper head. When the Reaper gathers the Wheat into his Barn, the Tares are bound in bundles and cast into unquenchable Fire, Matth. 15.30.
2. The wicked are raised, ex officio Iudicis, not beneficio Mediatoris: they are raised by Christ as a Judge, but not by him as a Redeemer: The one sort are raised by the power of his vindicative Justice, the other by the Holy Ghost by vertue of his Covenant, Rom. 8.11. He shall quicken your mortal bodies by his spirit that dwelleth in you: The one by Christs power from without, put forth by him as Judge of dead and living; The other by an inward quickning influence that flows from him as their proper head. When the Reaper gathers the Wheat into his Barn, the Tares are bound in bundles and cast into unquenchable Fire, Matth. 15.30.
3. The wicked are forced to appear▪ and cannot shift that dreadful Tribunal, the other go joyfully forth to meet the Bridegroom, and when the sentence of condemnation shall be executed upon the one, the other by virtue of Christs Life and Resurrection shall enter into the possession of a blessed and Eternal Life, wherein they shall enjoy God and Christ, and the company of Saints and Angels, and sing Hallelujahs for ever and ever.
