Christ's certain and sudden appearance to judgment

1. Gods justice (to speak after the manner of men, seeing this judgment is set forth in such a manner, for our better apprehending of it, because we are not able to conceive in this state the way exactly of Gods proceeding against sinners in Judgment on that day) will arraign the wicked before the judgment seat of Christ, and draw up as it were a Bill of Indictment against them. Whereas these Men and Women who lived in such and such places, and times; though they were my Creatures and subjects; were made by me and for me; and I gave them my holy and righteous, and good Law, to be the guide and rule of their life and actions; yet having no fear of me before their eyes; they did shake off my yoke, and break my Laws, they did cast my Commandments behind their back, and lived in a course of rebellion and disobedience against me; committing such and such sins: And when I sent my Son into the World to die for sinners, who gave me sufficient satisfaction; and I made him known, and the way of salvation by him, and pr•ffered him unto them, and entreated them by my Ambassadors to be reconciled; but they shut their ear, and hardened their heart, and refused my Son; trampled upon his blood; grieved my spirit; and neglected the salvation of their own souls; therefore I now require satisfaction from themselves, and that a condigne punishment be inflicted upon them, for their disobedience.
