(1.) A Statute for the Judgment is asserted; and thereby we are assured that it shall be without fail; for the appointment mentioned in the beginning of the verse hath reference to this as well as to death; and this is the first and most proper signification of the word.
(2.) The time when it shall be, after that men die. And although we are not told how soon it shall be after, yet we have Scripture warrant to conclude, that every ones personal Judgment will follow presently upon it; though the great and general Judgment is reserved until the consummation of all things, as will be farther observed anon.

(3.) The subjects of it, or who they are on whom this Judgment shall pass: men, indefinitely expressed; it intends all men: this Judgment is as extensive as Death; yea there have been, & will be some exceptions from the general Rule about Death, who have been translated, or shall be changed; but even these also shall come to the Judgment.
