The Pamphlet Collection of Sir Robert Stout: Volume 77

7.—Of the Last Judgment

7.—Of the Last Judgment.

While the Westminster Confession not only states the fact that there shall be such a day, but explains "the end of God's appointing this day" to be "the manifestation of the glory of His mercy and justice," and the use which should be made of such a doctrine by all men, and especially by the godly, the New Zealand Article confines its statement to the fact—in particular striking out the words of Christ, which appear both in the Westminster Confession and in the E.P. Articles—"then shall the wicked go away into everlasting punishment page 38 but the righteous into life eternal." That the divergence of the two Creeds at this point, if not inexpedient in view of a union (on which no judgment is pronounced meanwhile) is by no means immaterial, the least learned student of Scripture can discern.
