5. The Rule whereby all men shall be judged is the Law of their Obedience made known unto them. As (1) The Gentiles before the coming of Christ shall be judged by the Law of Nature, which all of them openly transgressed, Rom. 2. 12, 13, 14. (2) The Jews of the same time by the Law, and the Light into Redemption from Sin, superadded thereunto; that is, by the Rule, Doctrine, Precepts, and Promises of the Law and Prophets. (3) The Gospel unto all men unto whom it hath been offered or preached, Rom. 2. 16. The Rule of Judgement at the last day, neither is nor shall be any other, but what is preached every day in the dispensation of the Gospel. No man shall be able to complain of a surprisal, or pretend ignorance of the Law whereby he was to be judged. The sentence of it is proposed unto them continually. In the word of the Gospel is the ⟨p. 28⟩Eternal condition of all the Sons of men positively determined and declared. And all these things are at large insisted on by others.
