1. Of Men. All men shall then be pellucid and transparent as Crystal. We must all appear, [Greek or Hebrew], 2 Cor. 5.10. For we must all appear before the Judgment Seat of Christ, [Greek or Hebrew] The word signifieth a clear and a permanent manifestation. Such a clear manifestation of men, that every one may see into them, what they are, and what they have been; and such a permanent manifestation as will last for ever, according to the Greek Scholiast, on ⟨p. 8⟩1 Tim. 3.18. Good men shall then be manifested, their Principles, their Practices, their Designs and Purposes, and their uprightness in all to their glory and praise. They who are now accused of Hypocrisy, and Obstinacy, and Pride, and Peevishness; because they could not swim with the stream, nor run with others to the same excess of riot, will then be manifested to be men of Integrity and Humility, and to have declined the profane courses of others, not out of foolish preciseness, or needless scrupulosity, or humoursomeness, but out of Conscience to the Commands of God. Their Faith, and Love, and Sincerity, will be found to their praise, and honour, and glory, at the appearing of Jesus; When Christ who is our Life shall appear, then shall ye appear with him in Glory, 1 Pet. 1.7. They who are now despised, and reproached, and trampled on as the dirt and dung, and filth of the Earth, will then be manifested to be Gods Jewels, Christs Glory, and the Temples of the Holy Ghost. When Christ who is our Life shall appear, we shall appear with him in Glory, Col. 3.4. Then ⟨p. 9⟩there will be a manifestation of the Sons of God, Rom. 8.19.
