the Word and Doctrine I say a recompence for all the Souls they have saved by their Word and watered by the same Now shall Paul the Planter and Apollo the Waterer with every one of their Companions receive the reward that is according to their works 1 Cor. 3. 6 7 8. Now all the Preaching praying watching and labour thou hast been at in thy endeavouring to catch men from Satan to God shall be rewarded with spangling glory Not a Soul thou hast converted to the Lord Jesus nor a Soul thou hast comforted strengthned or helped by thy wholsom Counsel admonition and comfortable speech but it shall stick as a Pearl in that Crown which the Lord the Righteous Judge shall give thee at that day 2 Tim. 4. 7 8. That is if thou dost it willingly delighting to lift up the name of God among men if thou doest it with love and longing after the Salvation of sinners otherwise thou wilt have onely thy labour for thy pains and no more if I do this willingly I have a reward but if against my will a dispensation of the Gospel is committed to my charge 1 Cor. 9. 17. Phil. 1. 15. But I say if thou do it graciously then a reward followeth for what is our hope or joy or Crown of rejoycing are not even ye saith Paul in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ at his coming for ye are our glory and joy 1 Thes. 2. 19 20. Let him therefore that Christ hath put into this Harvest take comfort in the midst of all his sorrow and know that God acknowledgeth that he that converteth a sinner from the errour of his way doth even save that Soul from death and covereth a multitude of sins Wherefore labour to convert labour to water labour to build up and to feed the flock of God which is among you taking the oversight thereof not by constraint but willingly not for filthy lucre but of a ready mind and when the chief Shepheard shall appear ye shall receive a Crown of Glory that fadeth not away Jam. 5. 20. 1 Pet. 5. 2 3 4. Secondly And as the Ministers of Christs Gospel shall at this day be recompensed so shall also those more private Saints be with tender affections and love looked on and rewarded for all their work and labour of love which they have shewed to the name of Christ in ministring to his Saints and suffering for his sake Whatsoever good thing any man doth the same shall he receive of the Lord whether he be bond or free Heb. 6. 10. Ephes. 6. 8. Ah! little do the People of God think how largely and thorowly God will at that day own and recompence all the good and holy acts of his People Every bit every drop every rag and every nights harbour though but in a wisp of straw shall be rewarded in that day before men and Angels Whosoever shall give to drink to one of these little ones a Cup of cold water onely in the name of a Disciple verily I say unto you saith Christ He shall in no wise loose a Disciples reward Mat. 10. 40 41 42. Therefore when thou makest a Feast saith he Call the poor the maimed the lame and the blind and thou shalt be blessed for they cannot recompence thee for thou shalt be recompenced at the Resurrection of the Just. Luk. 14. 13 14. If there be any repentance among the godly at this day it will be because the Lord Jesus in his person members and word was no more owned honoured entertained and provided for by them when they were in this World For it will be ravishing to all to see what notice the Lord Jesus will then take of every Widows mite He I say will call to mind even all those acts of meâ—cy and kindness which thou hast shewed to him when thou wast among men I say he will remember cry up and proclaim before Angels and Saints those very acts of thine which thou hast either forgotten or through bashfulness wilt not at that day count worth the owning He will reckon them up so fast and so fully that thou wilt cry Lord When did I do this and when did I do the other When saw we thee a hungry and fed thee or a thirst and gave thee drink When saw we thee a stranger and took thee in or naked and cloathed thee or when saw we thee sick or in prison and came unto thee and the King shall answer and say unto them verily I say unto you in as much as ye did it unto one of the least of these my Brethren ye did it unto me Mat. 25. 37 38 39 40. The good works of some are manifest before hand and they that are otherwise cannot be hid 1 Tim. 5. 25. Whatever thou hast done to one of the least of these my Brethren thou hast done it unto me I felt the nourishment of thy food and the warmth of thy fleece I remember thy loving and holy visits when my poor members were sick and in prison and the like When they were strangers and wanderers in the World thou tookest them in Well thou good and faithful Servant enter Thou into the Joy of thy Lord. Matth. 25. 21 22 23 34 35 36. Thirdly Here also will be a reward for all that hardness and Christian induring of affliction that thou hast met with for thy Lord while thou wast in the World Here now will Christ begin from the greatest suffering even to the least and bestow a reward on them all from the blood of the suffering Saint to the loss of an hair nothing shall go unrewarded Heb. 11. 36 37 38 39 40. 2 Cor. 4. 8 9 10 11 12 13 14. For these light afflictions which are but for a moment they work out for us a far more exceeding and eternall weight of glory 2 Cor. 4. 17. Behold by the Scriptures how God hath recorded the sufferings of his People and also how he hath promised to reward them Blessed are they that are persecuted for righteousness sake for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven Blessed are ye when men shall revile you and speak all manner of evil against you falsly for my sake rejoyce Luk. 6. 22 23. leap for joy and be exceeding glad for great is your reward in Heaven Mat. 5. 16 17 18. And every one that hath forsaken Houses or Brethren or Sisters or Father or Mother or Wife or Children or Laws for my names sake shall receive an hundred fold and shall inherit everlasting life Matth. 19. 29. Fourthly There is also a reward at this day for all the more secret and more retired works of Christianity there is not now one act of faith in thy Soul either upon Christ or against the Devil and Antichrist but it shall in this day be found out and praysed honoured and glorified in the face of Heaven 1 Pet. 1. 7. 2. There is not one groan to God in secret against thy own lusts and for more grace light spirit

sanctification and strength to go thorow this World like a Christian but it shall even at the coming of Christ be rewarded openly Matth. 6. 6. 3. There hath not one tear dropped from thy tender eye against thy lusts the love of this World or for more Communion with Jesus Christ but as it is now in the bottle of God so then it shall bring forth such plenty of reward that it shall return upon thee with abundance of increase Blessed are ye that weep now for ye shall laugh Thou tell est my wonderings and puttest my tears into thy Bottle are they not in thy Book They that sow in tears shall reap in joy He that goeth forth and weepeth bearing precious seed shall doubtless come again bringing his sheaves with him Psal. 56. 8. Psal. 126. 5 6. Luk. 6. 21. Having thus in brief shewed you something concerning the Resurrection of the Saints and that they shall count with their Lord at his coming both for the burning up what was not according to the truth and rewarding them for all their good It remains that I now in few words shew you something also of that with which they shall be rewarded First then those that shall be found in the day of their Resurrection when they shall have all their good things brought upon the stage they I say that then shall be found the People most laborious for God while here they shall at that day injoy the greatest portion of God or shall be possessed with most of the glory of the God-head then For that is the portion of Saints in general Rom. 8. 17. Lam. 3. 24. And why shall he that doth most for God in this World injoy most of him in that which is to come but because by doing and acting the heart and every faculty of the Soul is inlarged and more capatiated whereby more room is made for glory Every Vessel of Glory shall at that day be full of it but every one will not be capable to contain a like measure And so if they should have it communicated to them would not be able to stand under it for there is an eternall weight in the glory that Saints shall then injoy and every Vessel must be at that day filled that is have its heavenly load of it 2 Cor. 4. 17. All Christians have not the same injoyment of God in this life neither indeed were they able to bear it if they had it 1 Cor. 3. 2. But those Christians that are most laborious for God in this World they have already most of him in their Souls and that not onely because diligence in Gods wayes is the meanes whereby God communicates himself but also because thereby the senses are made more strong and able by reason of use to understand God and to discern both good and evill Heb. 5. 13 14. Mat. 13. 11 12. To him that hath to him shall be given and he shall have more abundance He that laid out his pound for his Master and gained ten therewith he was made Ruler over ten Cities but he that by his pound gained but five he was made Ruler over but five Luk. 19. 16 17 18 19. Dan. 1. 3 4. Often he that is best bred in his youth he is best able to manage most when he is a man touching things of this life but alwayes he that is best bred and that is most in the Bosom of God and that so acts for him here he is the man that will be best able to injoy most of God in the Kingdom of Heaven It is observable that Paul saith Our afflictions work out for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory Our afflictions do it not onely because there is laid up a reward for the afflicted according to the measure of affliction but because afflictions and so every service of God doth make the heart more deep more experimentall more knowing and profound and so more able to hold contain and bear more Every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour 1 Cor. 4. 17. Psal. 119. 71. 1 Cor. 3. 8. And this is the reason of such sayings as these Lay up for your selves a good foundation against the time to come that you may lay hold on eternall life which eternall life is not the matter of our Justification from sin in the sight of God for that is done freely by Grace through Faith in Christs bloud but here the Apostle speaks of giving of Alms but it is the same that in the other place he calls the far more exceeding and eternall weight of glory And hence it is that he in his stirring them up to be diligent in good works doth tell them that he doth not exhort them to it because he wanted but because he would have fruit that might abound to their accoâ—â—nâ— as he saith also in another place Beloved Brethren be stedfast unmoveable alwayes abounding in the work of the Lord for as much as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord. 1 Tim. 6. 18 19. Phil. 4. 16 17. 1 Cor. 15. 58. Therefore I say the reward that the Saints shall have at this day for all the good they have done it is the injoyment of God according to their works though they shall be freely justified and glorified without works Secondly As the injoyment of God at that day will be to the Saints according to their works and doings I speak not now of Justification from sin so will their prayse and commendations at that day be according to the same and both of them their degrees of glory for I say as God by communicating of himself unto us at that day will thereby glorifie us so also he will for the adding all things that may furnish with glory every way cause to be proclaimed in the face of Heaven and in the presence of all the holy Angels every thing that hath for God his ways and people been done by us while here we have been Whatsoever hath bin spoken in darkness shall be heard in the light and that which ye have spoken in the ear in Closets shall be proclaimed upon the House tops Again he that shall confess me saith Christ before men him will I confess before the Angels of God Now as he of whom Christ is ashamed when he comes in his glory and in the glory of the holy Angels will then lie under unconceiveable disgrace shame dishonour and contempt so he whom Christ shall confess own commend and prayse at that day must needs have very great Dignity Honour and Renown for then shall every man have prayse of God to wit according to his works Luke 12. 2 3. Mark 8. 38. Mat. 10. 32. 1 Cor. 4 5. Now will Christ proclaim before thee and all others what thou hast done and what thou hast suffered what thou hast owned and what thou hast withstood for his name This is he that forsook his goods his Relations his Country and life
