The ⟨p. 126⟩trumpet shall sound to summon all the world before the Judge*, 1 Thes. 4.16. and Jesus Christ shall come in the glory of his Father, with all his holy Angels, Mat. 25.31. §22. Meditate upon the universality of this trial. We must all appear before the judgement-seat of Christ, 2 Cor. 5.10. Kings and Nobles, all must come to the bar, there's no exemption.

Meditate of the impartiality of the trial: Christ will do justice; He will judge the world in righteousness,
