John Fox judgeth it better to contend against those who prefer their own traditions to the commandments of God, than to be at peace with them. VII. Beware, also, you be not deceived with the pretence of the church’s consent, and of uniformity as well with the ancient church as with the now reformed churches, in the forms and customs of both, for, 1.
The true pattern and exemplar of humility is the Christ, who claimed for Himself the greatest role in the whole history of the world, simply on the ground that it was the work which His Father had given Him to do. "I seek not Mine own glory: there is One that seeketh and judgeth." The secret of humility is devotion to the will of GOD.
Indeed, the unjust shall not arise, by virtue of any relation they stand in to the Lord Jesus, as the saints shall; but yet, because all are delivered into his hand, and he made sovereign Lord over them; therefore by an act of his sovereign power, they that are ungodly, shall arise; this is Christ's own argument, "The Father judgeth no man," saith he, "but hath committed all judgment unto the Son" that is, count him, and fall before him as their sovereign Lord, even as they honour the Father, and he hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man.
Their hosts are the hosts of goodly deeds, and their arms the arms of upright conduct, and their commander the fear of God. Blessed that one that judgeth with fairness. By the righteousness of God!
An expression of kindness came over their hard faces they mixed his cake for him, and tended the baking, and Tom drew out his Bible by the light of the fire for he had need of comfort. Tom saw enough of abuse and misery in his new life to make him sick and weary; but he toiled on with religious patience, committing himself to Him that judgeth righteously.
Yea, this one of those great truths which are borne on the face of revelation "If ye call on the Father, who, without respect of persons, judgeth every man according to his works, pass the time of your sojourning here in fear." Some objections to the preceding definition of divine impartiality are subjoined, with very brief replies.
But now I have written unto you not to associate with him, if any man, professing to be a brother, be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner, with such a one not even to eat. For what call have I to judge those who are without? Do not ye judge those who are within the church? But those who are without God judgeth.
After having thus stated my opinion in favor of the South, I would merely remark that there is One who judgeth all things, who weigheth the cause between brother and brother, and awardeth the perfect retribution; and whose ultimate decision I, as a British subject, have only anticipated.
'Of course we believe that, you say. 'That is commonplace; not worth talking about. Ah! but because we believe it, as of course, we slip out of thinking about it and letting it affect our lives. And what I desire to do for you, dear friends, and for myself, is just to put emphasis on the one half of that little word 'judgeth' and ask you to take its three last letters and lay them on your minds.
I'll put my missis up to going to the town and getting speech of her, and telling her a bit of her danger. An old motherly woman like our Mary will set about it better nor a stupid fellow like me." The poor old labourer prayed long and earnestly that night for Ruth. He called it "wrestling for her soul;" and I think his prayers were heard, for "God judgeth not as man judgeth."
