Resp. That there may be a Day of Retribution, when God may render to every one according to his work. Things seem to be carried very unequally in the World: The Wicked do so prosper, as if they were rewarded for being Evil: And the Godly do so suffer, as if they were punished for being good. Therefore for the vindicating Gods Justice, there must be a day, wherein there shall be a righteous Distribution of Punishments and Rewards to Men, according to their Actions.

Quest. 3. Who shall be Iudge?
Resp. The Lord Jesus Christ, John 5.22. The Father hath committed all Judgment to the Son. It is an Article in our Creed, That Christ shall come to judge the Quick and the Dead. It is a great Honour put upon Christ: He who was himself judged, shall now be Judge: He who once hung upon the Cross, shall sit upon the Bench. Christ is fit to be Judge, as he partakes both of the Manhood and Godhead.
