In the judgement it self I consider three things. First,1 by what law man shall be tried and judged. Secondly, by what evidence. Thirdly, what the sentence shall be.
In the iudgement it selfe I consider three things. First,1 by what law man shall be tried and iudged. Secondly, by what euidence. Thirdly, what the sentence shall be.
- 1The judgement it self.The iudgement it selfe.
For the first, the Gentiles shall be judged by the law of nature.1 The unbelieving Christians in the visible Church shall be judged by the word or Law, writ or preached to them: according to that of the Apostle, They that have sinned without the law, shall perish without the law; and they that have sinned under the law, shall be judged by the lawl. And our Saviour saith, He that refuseth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, it shall judge him in the last daym. And the faithful shall be judged by the Gospel, even by all those comforts and promises contained in, or belonging to the covenant of grace, applied to them in this life, and must fully then be confirmed and accomplished. For the sentence at the last day shall be but a more manifest declaration of that judgement the Lord in this life most an end by his word hath past upon man.4
