In the Day when God fhall judge the fecrets of men by Jefus Christ. 1 Cor. iii. 13, 14, 15. Every man's work fhall be made manifeft.

If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. If any man's work shall be burnt, he fhall fuffer loss; but he himself fhall be faved; yet fo as by fire. iv.5.- judge no

thing before the time, until the Lord come, who both will bring to light the hidden things of darknefs, and will make manifest the counfels of the hearts: and then shall every man have praise of.

And the fea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to his works. And death and hell were caft into the lake of fire: This is the second death. And whofoever was not found written in the book of life, was caft into the lake of fire.

VII. Sincere Christians shall not have boldness, or confidence, before Chrift, 'till the Refurrection, &c. 1 John ii. 28.—Little children, abide in him that when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his Coming. iv. 17. Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judg

.ment.

VIII. The virtuous fhall not be rewarded 'till the Refurrection, &c. Matt.xiii. 43. Then shall the righteous fhine forth as the fun in the kingdom of their Father. xix. 28. ye which have

fol

followed me in the regeneration, when the Son of man fhall fit in the throne of his glory, ye also fhall fit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Ifrael. xxv. 19, 20, 21. After a long time, the lord of thofe fervants cometh and reckoneth with them. And fo he that had received five talents, came and brought other five talents. His lord faid unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful fervant; - enter thou into the joy of thy lord. So 23. 34. Then fhall the King fay unto them on his right hand, Come, ye bleffed of my Father, inherit the Kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.-46.-thefe (the wicked) fhall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal. Luke xiv. 14. they cannot recompenfe thee: for thou shalt be recompenfed at the refurrection of the juft. John v. 28,29.- the hour is coming, in the which all that are in their graves shall hear his voice, and shall come forth, they that have done good, unto the refurrection of life; and they that have done evil, &c. vi.40.this is the will of him that fent me, that every one which feeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day. 44.

For we that are in this tabernacle do grone, being burdened: not for that we would be unclothed, but clothed upon, that mortality might be swallowed up of life, (Comp. I Cor. xv. 52,53,54. the dead thall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed: For this corruptible muft put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal fhall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.) Eph. iv.30.-grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are fealed unto the day of redemption. Rev. xi. 18.- thy wrath is come, and the time of thedead that they should be judged, and that thou shouldft give reward unto thy fervants the prophets, and to the faints, to them that fear thy name, fmall and great, and shouldft destroy them that destroy the earth.

IX. They shall not have eternal life, or falvation; fhall not put on Immortality, be received unto Chrift, enter into his joy, behold his glory, or be like him, till the Resurrection, &c. John vi. 54. as above in Sect. viii. my father's house are many manfions-I go to

And if I

Father, I will that they alfo whom thou haft given me, be with me where I am; that they may beheld my glory which thou haft given me. -Acts iii. 20, 21. Jefus Chrift-whom the heaven must receive until the times of reftitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets. Rom. vi. 5. if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death: we fhall be alfo in the likeness of his Refurrection. viii. 1 1. if the Spirit of him that raised up Jefus from the dead, dwell in you; he that raised Chrift from the dead fhall alfo quicken your mortal bodies, by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.-17. -if fo be that we fuffer with him, that we may be alfo glorified together. 18. For I reckon that the fufferings of this prefent time are not worthy to be compared with the glory that shall be revealed in us.-19.For the earnest expectation of the creature, waiteth for the manifeftation of the Sons of God.-23.-not only they, but ourselves alfo, which have the firft-fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves grone within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body. Add 1 Cor.xv.52,53,54. as above, Sect. VIII. Phil. iii. 20,21.
