(4.) The next Distinction of men whom Christ shall judge, are Believers and Unbelievers. To Believers we reckon all those that lived not only in the clear Sunshine of the Gospel, but those also to whom the Object of Faith was but more obscurely propounded: To those that lived before the Flood and after the Flood, as well as those that lived in Christs time, and after the pouring out of the Spirit. Abel, and Enoch, and Noah, are mentioned in the Chronicle and History of Faith, Heb. 11. as well as Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, and Believers of a latter Stamp and Edition. And among Unbelievers are reckoned, all those that through their own obstinate Incredulity rejected the divine Revelation made to them; as well those that neglected the great Salvation spoken by the Lord himself, as the World of Ungodly in Noah's time. 1 Pet. 3.20. who were disobedient when Noah preached Righteousness to them, or laid open the way of Life and Salvation to them. Indeed it concerneth most those that have the Gospel clearly preached to them, but others are not excused. In short, this Distinction will bring in several ranks of men.
