5. God hath exalted Christ in constituting him Judge of the whole World, Joh. 5.22. The Father hath committed all judgment to the Son. At that day of Judgment shall Christ be exalted super-eminently, He shall come in the glory of his Father, Mark 8.38. He shall wear the same embroidered Robes of Majesty, as the Father; And he shall come with all his holy Angels, Matth. 25.31. He who was led to the Bar with a Band of Soldiers, shall be attended to the Bench with a Guard of Angels: Christ shall judge his Judges, he shall judge Pilate that condemned him: Kings must leave their Throne and come to his Bar. And this is the highest Court of Judicature, from whence is no Appeal.
