Thus Justice shall be administered at the great Day to Ministers and their People: And to that End they shall meet together, that they may not only receive Justice to themselves, but see Justice done to the other Party: For this is the End of that great Day, to reveal, or declare the righteous Judgment of God; Rom. ii.5. Ministers shall have Justice done them, and they shall see Justice done to their People: And the People shall receive Justice themselves from their Judge, and shall see Justice done to their Minister. And so all Things will be adjusted and settled for ever between them; every one being sentenced and recompensed according to his Works; either in receiving and wearing a Crown of eternal Joy and Glory, or in suffering everlasting Shame and Pain.
