T H E
Resurrection of the Dead,
And Eternal Judgment:

O R,
The truth of the Resurrection of the bodies, both of good and
bad at the Last Day: asserted, and proved by God's word.
A L S O,
The manner and order of their coming forth of their graves;
as also, with what bodies they do arise. Together, with a discourse
of the Last Judgment, and the final conclusion of the whole world.

A Servant of the Lord's Christ.

Written from Bedford Prison.


Having gone thus far, I shall now come to

THE SECOND PART OF THE TEXT,

To wit, that there shall be a resurrection of the wicked. "There shall be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and unjust;" for as the just go before the unjust, in name and dignity, and honour, so they shall in the last day, go before them in the resurrection.

Now, then, when the saints have thus risen out of their graves, given up their accounts, received their glory, and are set upon the thrones, "for there are set thrones of judgment, the thrones of the house of David" (Psa 122:5). When, I say, they are all of them in their royal apparel, with crowns of glory, every one presenting the person of a king, then come the unjust out of their graves, to receive their judgment for what they have done in the body. As Paul saith, "We must all appear before the judgment-seat of Christ, that every one," both saints and sinners, "may receive the things done in the body, whether it be good, or whether it be bad."

But now, because I would prove by the word, whatever I would have others receive for a truth, therefore I shall in few particulars,

FIRST, prove the resurrection of the wicked.
