A Body of Practical Divinity

Fourthly, Christ will mention before Men and Angels all the Good Deeds the Saints have done, Mat. 25.35. I was an Hungered and ye gave me Meat, I was Thirsty and you gave me Drink; you that have wept in Secret for Sin, that have shown any Love to Christ's Name, that have been rich in Good Works, Christ will take notice of it at the last Day, and say, Well done Good and Faithful Servants. He himself will be the Herald to proclaim your Praises. Thus shall it be done to the Man whom Christ delights to Honour.

Fifthly, Christ will call his Saints from the Bar, to sit upon the Bench with him to Judge the World. Jude 14. Behold the Lord cometh with Ten Thousands of his Saints to execute Judgment upon all. 1 Cor. 6.2. Know ye not that the Saints shall Judge the World? The Saints shall sit with Christ in Judicature, as Justices of Peace with the Judge; they shall applaud Christs Righteous Sentence on the Wicked, and as it were Vote with Christ. This as it is a great Honour to the Saints, so it must needs add to the Sorrows of the Wicked, to see those whom they once hated and derided, to sit as Judges upon them.
