PROOFE 17.

Jesus Christ by vertue of his death shall be their Judge, and by the Gospel in which they might have been saved, wil he judge them to a second death, and how can that be if he never dyed the first death for them, and if there were not truth in his Gospell, preached to them? Rom. 14. 9, 10, 11, 12. Phil. 2. 7. 11. Rom. 2. 16. John 12. 47. 48. 50.

ANSWER.

First, That Jesus Christ shall be Judge of all, and that all judgement is already committed to him, is confest: that it doth not hence follow, that he dyed for all, hath been already decla∣red, unlesse ye will affirme that he dyed for the Divels also, be∣cause they also must be judged by him. Secondly, That all shall be judged by the Gospell, even such as never heard word of it, is directly contrary to the Gospell, for as many as have sinned with∣out the Law, shall also perish without the Law, and as many as have sinned in the Law, shall be judged by the Law, Rom. 2. 12. Every man doubtlesse, shall be judged according to the light and rule, which he did or might have enjoyed, and not according to that whereof he was invincibly deprived. Thirdly, That Christ should be said to dye onely the first death, is neither an expression of the word, nor can be collected from thence: he dyed the death which was in the curse of the Law, but of this onely by the way. Fourthly, Ye intimate as though there were no truth in the Gospell preached, unlesse Christ dyed for all, when indeed there

is no assertion more opposite to the truth of the Gospell; the places urged mention Christ being Lord of all, exalted above all, being Judge of all, judging men according to the Gospell, that is those men who enjoy it; but how they may be wrested to the end proposed I know not.
