First, Christs coming again to Judge the World it is not only a dreadful Doctrine to a Felix, but may make thee a Christian to tremble in these cases.
First, Christs coming againe to Judge the World it is not onely a dreadfull Doctrine to a Felix, but may make thee a Christian to tremble in these cases.
First, the Doctrine of Christs coming may make men tremble, who are guilty of Acts of Oppression and Violence in Courts of Judicature, Eccle. 3.16, 17. And moreover, I saw under the Sun the place of Judgement, that wickedness was there, and the place of righteousness, that iniquity was there. I said in my heart, God shall judge the righteous, and the wicked, for there is a time there for every purpose, and every work. That is, to judge every purpose and every work. That when God shall come to places of Judgement and places of Judicature, and shall say, wickedness is there, and shall say bribery is there, and the deferring of the cause of the poor is there, woe be to all Oppressions of the poor, and grinding their Faces in Courts of Judicature, many whereof are Seats of violence and not Courts of Judicature, Christ shall come to judge things that men will not judge, men will not judge Adulterers, but Whoremongers and Adulterers God will judge. Men will not judge men for Heresy, but God will judge them, ⟨p. 125⟩Christs coming is dreadful to all men that live by Oppression and Violence in Courts of judicature.
First, the Doctrine of Christs coming may make men tremble, who are guilty of Acts of Oppression and Violence in Courts of Judicature, Eccle. 3.16, 17. And moreover, I saw under the Sun the place of Judgement, that wickednesse was there, and the place of righteousnesse, that iniquity was there. I said in my heart, God shall judge the righteous, and the wicked, for there is a time there for every purpose, and every worke. That is, to judge every purpose and every worke. That when God shall come to places of Judgement and places of Judicature, and shall say, wickednesse is there, and shall say bribery is there, and the deferring of the cause of the poore is there, woe be to all Oppressions of the poore, and grinding their Faces in Courts of Judicature, many whereof are Seats of violence and not Courts of Judicature, Christ shall come to judge things that men will not judge, men will not judge Adulterers, but Whoremongers and Adulterers God will judge. Men will not judge men for Heresie, but God will judge them,
