(1.) To vindicate Truth and Honesty from the false Judgment of the World: The best Cause is often oppressed; there needeth a review of things by an higher Court, that that which is good may be restored to its public Honour, and evil may receive its proper Shame; Christ will convince the World of his Love to the Saints, when he cometh to be admired in them, 2 Thes. 1.10. and when their Faith is found to Praise and Glory, 1 Pet. 1.7. Thus shall it be done to the men whom Christ will honour, proclaim their Pardon, adorn them with Grace, introduce them into their everlasting Habitations, and this in the eyes of the scorning wicked; as that Noble man, Thine eyes shall see it, but not taste of it; then for their everlasting Confusion, their Crimes shall be repeated in the ears of all the World, and their false appearances shall be refuted.

(2.) That the Counsels and Courses of Gods manifold Wisdom and Justice may be solemnly applauded. We now view Providence by pieces; but then the whole Context and coherence of it shall be set together, and the full History of all the world produced before the Saints.
