The sinners last sentence to eternal punishment, for sins of omission

There are two of our eminent English Divines now with God, who have left their Judgment herein upon Record. One tells us, I humbly conceive, That the day of Judgment shall not be past over in an instant, but shall be of long ⟨p. 117⟩continuance.¹ For if Christ should judge only as God, he could dispatch it in an instant; but his judging us men will be after the manner of men, that the Creature may understand, admire, and approve what is done. The other saith,² It must take up some large quantity of time to manifest all the secret sins of men; and therefore it may be made evident both from Scripture and Reason, that this Day of Christs Kingly Office, in judging the world, shall last happily longer than the day of Christs private Administration now in governing the World.
