3. He judgeth all according to Law. This is another requisite to suffice: He will not condemn any for their Omissions ⟨p. 215⟩or Commissions, but according to Law. We count that Judge just indeed that keeps the Law, and will not upon any account swerve from that. Our Lord Jesus, when he sentenceth those that neglect to feed the Hungry, and clothe the Naked, &c. to everlasting fire, proceedeth according to Law exactly. These persons (as hath been before proved) are under the Law of Works, and so must stand or fall for ever, as they obey or disobey that Law. Now that Law condemneth for Omissions, and not doing our Duties, as well as for Commissions, and abounding in enormities. It saith, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things written in the Book of the Law, to do them, Gal. 3.13. Observe, the Law curseth those that omit, that continue not to do their Duties, as well as those that do the contrary.
