Resp. 1. The Citing of Men to the Court. The Dead are cited as well as the Living. Men when they Dye, avoid the Censure of our Law-Courts, but at the last Day, the Dead are cited to God's Tribunal, Rev. 20.12. I saw the Dead Small and Great stand before God. This citing of Men will be by the Sound of a Trumpet, 1 Thes. 4.16. and this Trumpet will sound so loud, that it will raise Men out of their Graves, Mat. 24.31. Such as will not hear the Trumpet of the Gospel sound in their Ears, Repent and Believe, shall hear the Trumpet of the Arch-Angel sounding, Arise and be Judged.
