The preparation is two-fold: First, of the Judge: secondly, of the judged. Unto the preparation of the Judge may be referred these things: First, his commission, or that singular power given him of the Father to execute judgement upon all the worldx: and this shall be then made manifest to all men. Secondly, the clothing of the humane nature with a most peculiar and unsearchable majesty and glory, most lively expressing and resembling the form and brightness of the Fathery. Thirdly, the attendance of thousand thousands ⟨p. 19⟩of holy Angels, in the perfections of their splendourz. Fourthly, the choice of a place in the clouds of heaven where he will sit. Fifthly, the erecting of a most glorious white throne: which what it shall be who can utter? yet without question it shall visibly then appear. And thus of the preparation of the Judge.
