1. The certainty of the last judgment is evident from Scripture, Heb. 6. 2. 2 Pet. 3. 9. Rom. 2. 5, 6, 7. and elsewhere frequently, and I shall further prove it by Scripture arguments.
It doth appear there will be a day of Judgment,
1. From Gods appointment. Act. 17. 31. He hath appointed a day wherein he will judge the world in righteousness. God appointed the creation of the world, which accordingly he effected: he appointed the reconciliation of the world to himself, which he brought to pass; and having appointed the judgment of the world, it shall as certainly be brought to pass in its day. Nothing can frustrate God's appointments, God being so infinite in wisdom, doth not appoint any thing about which there shall be any reason to after his determination; and God being so infinite in power, nothing can hinder the effecting of what he hath determined shall be done.
