9. Out of the Judges mouth proceedeth a two edged and sharp sword [Greek or Hebrew],1 which cutteth on either side. It is not sharp on one side, and blunt on an other, it cutteth on both sides indifferently. Whereby is signified a just sentence pronounced of Gods mouth against the wicked. For against them the sentence of God is a sword, piercing even to their hearts. Wherefore it is also called sharp. The judgement of our judge is straight and severe, but yet just and righteous. What that sword is, in the gospel is declared: verily that heavy and immutable sentence, get you hence in to fire everlasting. Math. 25. Whereupon it followeth in the words of the Evangelist: that with the same he may strike the heathen, to wit that he may damn, and put to perpetual torments all unbelievers.
