3. The Providence of God does so order matters in the World, as that we may from thence conclude that there will be a Day of Judgment. e. g. He permits wrong Judgment to pass among men in the world. Guilty men are here acquitted, and innocent men are oftentimes ⟨p. 69⟩condemned. Psal. 44.21. Solomon did from that Consideration conclude, that things will one day be called over again, and another Judgment be passed by Him who is the Supreme and righteous JUDGE of all the world. Eccles. 3.16. Great and Heinous sinners do sometimes escape punishment, not only from men, but from the Hand of God in this world. Though some such are punished to show there is a Providence, yet others escape to show that there is a Judgment to come, 1. Tim. 5.24.
