saith that Christ shall change our vile body that it may be fashioned like vnto his glorious body according to the working whereby he is able to subdue all things vnto himselfe Q. Proue that the godly shall haue fulnesse of ioy A. So much the Pasmist noteth speaking prophetically of Christ and of himselfe as the type and so proportionally of all the faithfull Psal. 16.11 Thou wilt shew me the path of life in thy presence is fulnesse of ioy at thy right hand there are pleasures for euer more Q. Proue there are degrees of glory A. We may gather so much by the words of the Prophet Dan. 12.3 They that are wise saith he shall shine as the brightnesse of the firmament and they that turne many to righteousne●●e as the Sta●res And 1 Cor. 15.41 A● on● Starre differeth from another in glory so also is the resurrection of the dead Againe wee read Luk. 19.16 c. that the seruant who with his Masters piece of mony had gained ten pe●ces was made rul●r ouer ten cities and hee th●t had gained fiue had authority giuen him ouer fiue Thus the Lord doth proportion the reward according to the m●as●re and imployment of his graces giuen vnto vs. Therefore the Apostle saith 2 Cor. 9.6 Hee that soweth sparingly shall reape sparingly and he that soweth bountifully shall reape bountifully Q. Proue that this happinesse of the godly is vnspeakable A. It is said 1 Pet. 1.8 that the faithfull reioyce with ioy vnspeakable and full of glory And 1 Cor. 2.9 Eye hath not seene nor eare heard neither haue entred into the heart of man the things that God hath prepared for them that loue him Q. Proue that this happinesse is eternall A. The Apostle affirmeth so much 2 Cor. 4.17 in that hee saith That our light affliction which is but for a moment worketh for vs a ●arre more exceeding and eternall weight of glory and 1 Pet. 1.4 it is called an inheritance incorruptible and vndefiled and that fadeth not away reserued in heauen for vs and therefore it is said 2 Tim. 1.10 That our Sauiour Iesus Christ hath abolished death and not onely brought life but immortalitie to light Q. Proue that it stands with the certainty of Gods elect●on A. The godly ca●not faile of this their happinesse because it is grounded vpon Gods election see 2 Tim. 2.19 The foundation of God standeth sure hauing this seale The Lord knoweth them that are his and Rom. 8.30 S. Paul groundeth mans glorification vpon Gods predestination and election Whom God did predestinate them he also called whom hee called them hee also iustified and whom he iustified them hee also glorified Q. Proue that it stands with the truth of Gods promise A. Christ saith of his sheepe Ioh. 10.28 I giue vnto them eternall life and they shall neuer perish neither shall any plucke them out of my hand and Ioh. 3.16 That whoseuer beleeueth in him shall not perish but haue euerlasting life and R●u 2.10 Be thou faithfull vnto the death and I will giue thee the crowne of life Q. P●oue that it stands with the iustice of God A. It is manifest that it stands with the iustice of God for the merit of Christ in regard that he hath purchased mans saluation by his death 1 Cor. 6.20 and 7.23 Yee are bought with a price and 1 Pet. 1.18.19 the price is said to be not siluer and gold but the precious bloud of Christ therefore it is said 1 Tim. 2.6 That Christ gaue himselfe a ransome for all men Q. Proue that thus eternall life becomes the reward of the faithfull A. Eternall life becomes a reward to the faithfull and that of due debt in respect of the merit of Christ which is meerely in him and not in vs For God hath made him to be sinne for vs who knew no sinne that wee might bee made the righteousnesse of God in him 2 Cor. 5.21 But in respect of vs who can merit nothing because our worke● ●re imperfect it is a reward of fauour and not of debt as the Apostle reasoneth Rom. 4.4.5 To him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace but of debt but to him that worketh not but beleeueth on him that iustifieth the v●godly his faith is counted for righteousnesse Thus of the free grace and mercy of God and for the merit of Christ euery good worke shall haue a reward Math. 5.12 and 6.4 6. and 10.41.42 Q. Proue that then all the sorrowes of the godly shall be turned into ioy A. So did Christ foretell his Disciples and in them all goo● Christians Ioh. 16.20 Ye shall weep and lament and the world shall reioyce and ye shall sorrow but your sorrow shall bee turned into ioy And in that regard he pronounceth the godly happy Luk. 6.21 Blessed are yee that weepe now for yee shall laugh Q. To conclude what doe we owe vnto God for so great a blessing A We doe owe and are bound with the Apostle Col. 1.12.13 To giue thankes vnto the Father who hath made vs meete to bee partakers of the inheritance of the Saints in light who hath deliuered vs from the power of darkenesse and hath translated vs into the kingdom of his deare Sonne And therefore we all with one heart say as it is in Iud. 24.25 Now vnto him that is able to keepe vs that we fall not and to present vs faultlesse before the presence of his glory with ioy that is To God onely wise our Sauiour be glory and Maiestie and Dominion and Power both now and for euer Amen FINIS Rom. 2.20 2 Tim. 1.13 Heb. 5.12 Heb. 6.1 Heb. 5.13.14 Psal. 32.8 1 Cor. 3. ●0 a Pro. 3 6. 1 Chro. 28.9 b Deu. 29.29 Ro. 15.4 c Io. 17.3 2 Thes. 1.8 d 2 Tim. 3.15 Io. 5.39 e Deu. 6.4 Isa. 44.6 f 1 Cor. 8.4.5.6 Eph. 4.5.6 g Eph. 2.12 1 Co. 10.20 h Iam. 2.19 i 1 Io. 5.7 k Luk 3.21.22 l Math. 28. m 2 Cor. 13.14 n 1 Cor. 8.6 Ro. 11.36 o Psal. 22.7 Ioh. 1.14 p Io. 15.26 q Eph. 4.6 1 Cor. 15.24 Io. 1.1 1 Io. 5.20 Act. 5.3.4 r 1 Io. 5.7 s Io. 1.2 and 17.5 Gen. 1.2 t Psal. 2.6 1 Cor. 12.4.5.6.11 u Psal 90.2 1 Tim. ● 17 x Ier. 23.22.24 Psal 139 7. y Iam 1.17 Mal. 3.6 z Col. 1. ●5 Io. 4.24 a Ge. 17.1 Reu 15.3 b Ps. 147.5 c Isaiah 6.3 1 Pet. 1.15 d Math 19.17 Psal 145.9 e Psal. 145.8.9 Iam. 5.11 f Due 3 2.4 Psal. 145.17 g Exod. 34.6 h 1 Tim. 6.16 Exod. 33.18 c. i Gen. 1.1 Act. 17.24 Col. 1.16 k Ps. 33.6 and 148.5 l Heb. 11.3 m Gen. 1.31 Exo. 20.11 n Gen. 1.31 o Ps. 100.3 p Heb. 3.4 q Ps. 5.4 Iam. 1.17 r Pro. 15 3 Matth. 10.29.30 Ps. 135.6 s Ps. 36.6 and 145.15 t Iob. 1.11 and 2.5 Mat. 8 3● u Io 19.11 Act. 4 27. x Act. 1.7.25.28 Ps. 119.91 Deu.
