The Explication.
IN this Article three Common-places fall in one, and meet together, which are divers in themselves; namely, of Christs second coming, of the end of the world, and of the last judgement. Of these places we will speak jointly, as which are linked between themselves; yet so that we chiefly handle that of the last judgement. For to little purpose were it for us to think of Christs second coming, except we did further consider, to what end he should come. The chief Questions of the last judgement are:
IN this Article three Common-places fall in one, and meet together, which are divers in themselves; namely, of Christs second coming, of the end of the world, and of the last judgement. Of these places wee will speak joyntly, as which are linked between themselves; yet so that we chiefly handle that of the last judgement. For to little purpose were it for us to thinke of Christs second coming, except wee did further consider, to what end he should come. The chief Questions of the last judgement are:
1. Whether there shall be any judgment. 2. What that judgement is. 3. Who shall be Judge. 4. Whence, and whither he shall come to judge. 5. How he shall come. 6. Whom he shall judge. 7. What shall be the sentence and execution of this judgement. 8. For what causes this judgment shall be. 9. When it shall be. 10. Why God would have us certain of the last judgement. 11. Why he would not have us certain of the time. 12. Why God deferreth that judgement. 13. Whether it is to be wished for.
