The fourth consequent of the judgement shall be the possession of the glory of Christians appointed by the sentence of the Judge. But of this afterwards in the end of this verse.
The fourth consequent of the iudgement shall be the possession of the glory of Christians appointed by the sentence of the Iudge. But of this afterwards in the end of this verse.
The fifth consequent of judgement shall be the delivering up of the kingdom to the Father, and so the laying down of Christs office: for when Christ hath finally and fully subdued Satan, death and wicked men, and hath fully reconciled the elect to God, then will there be no word of any such government in heaven as was on earth. He shall not need any longer to rule them, either by civill Magistrates, or by his need and discipline, or by any other way, which only did agree to the times of the Churches warfare and pilgrimage: but he shall never cease to live and triumph with them, in all ⟨p. 22⟩perfections of happy contentment and glory. Thus of the consequents of Judgement. And thus also of the doctrine of Christs last appearance. The uses follow.

Hee shall not neede any longer to rule them, either by ciuill Magistrates, or by his need and discipline, or by any other way, which onely did agree to the times of the Churches warfare and pilgrimage: but he shall neuer cease to liue and triumph with them, in all ⟨p. 22⟩perfections of happy contentment and glory. Thus of the consequents of Iudgement. And thus also of the doctrine of Christs last appearance. The vses follow.
