2. Christ will be a most▪ powerful Judge: •e will have power to raise all the wicked out of their Graves unto life again; which requires as much power to effect, as the giving them their Being and Life at the first; he will have power to bring all the wicked to his foot, to keep them in awe, that they shall not stir, nor lift up the hand in the least, in a way of Rebellion, which is more than the most potent Prince that ever lived could do: He will have power to execute vengeance upon all the wicked together, and inflict an infinite punishment upon them; and he will put forth no less power in the destruction of the wicked at the last Day, than was put forth in the first Creation of the World; herein he will make his Power known, Rom. 9. 22. When the wicked shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his Power; 2 Thes. 1 9▪
