Of judgment, because, &c.— "In the last place, when the Holy Ghost thus cometh, he will convert men from idolatry and from vicious tempers and vicious practices, to the knowledge, experience, and practice of true religion; and by thus victoriouslydeprivingSatanofthatdominionwhichhe has hitherto exercised over the minds of men, he will convince the world of judgment. He will demonstrate, not only that the world is governed by God, (so the word judgment is often used,) but that all power in heaven and earth is given to me particularly as the mediatorial king, who by mySpirit have dethroned the devil.

John 12:31.
