About the Form or Process of this Day, wherein the Text lieth, these four particulars are observable: 1. The separation of Persons. 2. The setting them in their places. 3. The manifestation of persons and things. 4. The pronunciation of the Sentence.
1. The separation of Persons. Now the Tares and Wheat grow together, but then they shall be parted asunder, vers. 32. And before him shall be gathered all Nations, and he shall separate them one from another, as a Shepherd separateth his sheep from the goats. Here they mingle together in the same House and Family, and Society, but there the Devils Herd of Goats shall be by themselves, and Christs Flock by themselves. The Wicked shall be gathered together, and he shall bind them in bundles, Matth. 13.41. and the Godly gathered together. ⟨p. 6⟩The Sinner shall have his desire, not to be troubled with Admonitions or Singularity of the Precise; and the Saint shall have his Prayer, not to be vexed with the filthy Conversation of the Profane, Psal. 26.4, 5, 6, 7. I have not sate with vain persons, neither will I go in with Dissemblers: I have hated the Congregation of evil doers, and will not sit with the Wicked, &c.
1. The separation of Persons. Now the Tares and Wheat grow together, but then they shall be parted asunder, vers. 32. And before him shall be gathered all Nations, and he shall separate them one from another, as a Shepheard separateth his sheep from the goats. Here they mingle together in the same House and Family, and Society, but there the Devils Herd of Goats shall be by themselves, and Christs Flock by themselves. The Wicked shall be gathered together, and he shall bind them in bundles, Matth. 13.41. and the Godly gathered together. ⟨p. 6⟩
