THIS latter Paragraph I cannot call a Parable, but a Scheme, and Draught, or a Delineation of the last Judgment, intermingled with many Passages that are plainly Parabolical: as, That Christ setteth forth himself as a King, sitting upon the Throne of his Glory; and as a Shepherd, dividing his Flock: That he compareth the Godly to Sheep, and the Wicked to Goats. Those Allegations and Dialogues between Christ, and the Righteous; Christ, and the Wicked; When saw we thee an hungry, &c. have much of the Nature of a Parable in them. In these Three Verses we have described,
1. The Appearance, or sitting down of the Judge.
2. The Presenting the Parties to be judged. The former is in Vers. 31. the latter in Vers. 32, 33. In Vers. 31. we have,
(1.) The Person who shall be the Judge; The Son of Man.
