they_o at_o last_o according_a to_o the_o different_a measure_n of_o grace_n bestow_v upon_o his_o people_n and_o according_a to_o the_o work_n service_n and_o faithfulness_n of_o his_o people_n in_o this_o world_n this_o truth_n i_o say_v hold_v forth_o in_o its_o lustre_n and_o glory_n be_v a_o marvellous_a encouragement_n and_o a_o mighty_a provocation_n to_o all_o sincere_a christian_n to_o

that_o thy_o labour_n shall_v not_o be_v in_o vain_a in_o the_o lord_n and_o thus_o i_o have_v give_v you_o the_o reason_n that_o prove_v that_o there_o shall_v be_v degree_n of_o glory_n in_o heaven_n now_o i_o have_v nothing_o further_a to_o do_v upon_o this_o point_n but_o to_o give_v a_o few_o brief_a answer_n to_o such_o objection_n as_o be_v common_o raise_v against_o this_o truth_n that_o i_o have_v assert_v and_o prove_v obj._n first_o some_o object_n and_o say_v that_o one_o christ_n buy_v we_o all_o and_o that_o all_o our_o portion_n be_v buy_v by_o the_o precious_a blood_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o that_o therefore_o all_o believer_n shall_v share_v alike_o in_o the_o inheritance_n of_o the_o saint_n in_o light_n now_o to_o this_o objection_n i_o shall_v answer_v first_o that_o all_o saint_n shall_v be_v equal_a sharer_n in_o the_o substantial_a and_o essential_a glory_n of_o heaven_n etc._n etc._n but_o of_o this_o i_o have_v speak_v before_o and_o therefore_o second_o though_o a_o father_n buy_v a_o rich_a inheritance_n for_o all_o his_o child_n yet_o this_o lay_v no_o necessity_n nor_o obligation_n at_o all_o upon_o he_o to_o allot_v to_o every_o one_o of_o his_o child_n a_o equal_a portion_n so_o though_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n have_v by_o his_o blood_n purchase_v a_o rich_a inheritance_n for_o his_o child_n yet_o this_o lay_v no_o necessity_n nor_o obligation_n at_o all_o upon_o jesus_n christ_n to_o divide_v this_o rich_a inheritance_n by_o equal_a portion_n among_o his_o child_n it_o be_v true_a that_o christ_n have_v purchase_v all_o with_o his_o blood_n and_o it_o be_v as_o true_a that_o he_o may_v divide_v his_o purchase_n among_o his_o people_n as_o he_o please_v if_o every_o man_n may_v do_v with_o his_o own_o as_o he_o please_v why_o may_v not_o christ_n must_v he_o needs_o be_v bind_v when_o other_o be_v free_a three_o and_o last_o i_o answer_v that_o as_o it_o be_v true_a that_o the_o merit_n and_o satisfaction_n of_o christ_n be_v the_o ground_n and_o foundation_n of_o our_o reward_n and_o that_o alone_a which_o make_v our_o work_n capable_a of_o a_o reward_n so_o it_o be_v as_o true_a that_o our_o work_n be_v the_o subject_n of_o reward_n and_o this_o be_v most_o agreeable_a to_o the_o compact_n that_o be_v make_v between_o christ_n and_o his_o father_n that_o everlasting_a happiness_n and_o blessedness_n that_o eternal_a glory_n and_o felicity_n shall_v be_v measure_v out_o to_o the_o saint_n according_a to_o their_o different_a measure_n of_o grace_n and_o different_a degree_n of_o service_n that_o they_o have_v be_v engage_v in_o in_o this_o world_n and_o all_o this_o upon_o the_o credit_n of_o christ_n blood_n certain_o there_o be_v nothing_o under_o heaven_n below_o the_o blood_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n that_o can_v make_v differ_v work_n capable_a of_o a_o different_a reward_n the_o papist_n be_v most_o sad_o out_o for_o they_o be_v so_o blind_a and_o bold_a as_o to_o affirm_v that_o the_o more_o grace_n any_o man_n have_v the_o more_o glory_n he_o merit_v by_o his_o grace_n these_o man_n make_v degree_n of_o grace_n and_o not_o the_o blood_n of_o jesus_n christ_n to_o be_v the_o meritorious_a cause_n of_o degree_n of_o glory_n and_o therefore_o of_o all_o man_n i_o think_v they_o be_v further_a from_o glory_n certain_o this_o be_v the_o believer_n glory_n and_o his_o crown_n of_o rejoice_v that_o all_o recompense_n and_o reward_n shall_v flow_v in_o upon_o he_o not_o upon_o the_o account_n of_o his_o merit_n but_o upon_o the_o account_n of_o christ_n blood_n and_o thus_o much_o shall_v suffice_v to_o have_v speak_v by_o way_n of_o answer_n to_o this_o objection_n obj._n 2._o but_o now_o in_o the_o second_o place_n i_o shall_v come_v to_o answer_v their_o grand_a and_o main_a objection_n and_o that_o be_v take_v from_o that_o parable_n in_o the_o 20_o matth._n where_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n be_v compare_v to_o a_o vineyard_n now_o in_o this_o parable_n there_o be_v mention_v make_v of_o a_o husbandman_n that_o call_v several_a labourer_n into_o his_o vineyard_n at_o several_a hour_n in_o the_o day_n some_o he_o call_v at_o the_o first_o hour_n and_o some_o he_o call_v at_o the_o three_o and_o some_o at_o the_o nine_o and_o some_o at_o the_o eleven_o now_o when_o they_o come_v all_o to_o receive_v their_o wage_n the_o story_n tell_v we_o that_o he_o give_v every_o man_n a_o penny_n he_o give_v every_o man_n a_o equal_a reward_n they_o that_o labour_v from_o the_o first_o hour_n and_o they_o that_o labour_v from_o the_o three_o hour_n and_o they_o that_o labour_v from_o the_o six_o hour_n of_o the_o day_n have_v no_o great_a a_o recompense_n than_o he_o that_o come_v in_o at_o the_o eleven_o hour_n and_o so_o have_v labour_v but_o one_o hour_n in_o the_o vineyard_n and_o bear_v but_o little_a if_o any_o of_o the_o heat_n of_o the_o day_n from_o whence_o the_o objector_n conclude_v that_o there_o be_v no_o degree_n of_o glory_n in_o heaven_n but_o that_o all_o shall_v have_v glory_n alike_o happiness_n and_o blessedness_n alike_o every_o man_n shall_v have_v his_o penny_n every_o man_n shall_v have_v a_o equal_a reward_n and_o no_o man_n penny_n in_o heaven_n shall_v be_v bright_a or_o big_a than_o another_o now_o by_o way_n of_o answer_n to_o this_o objection_n give_v i_o leave_v to_o premise_v these_o three_o thing_n first_o that_o this_o parable_n of_o the_o householder_n in_o give_v to_o every_o man_n a_o penny_n have_v no_o reference_n at_o all_o to_o heaven_n nor_o to_o the_o reward_n nor_o to_o the_o glory_n that_o shall_v be_v confer_v upon_o the_o elect_n and_o this_o i_o shall_v clear_o and_o full_o prove_v by_o these_o four_o follow_a argument_n first_o this_o illative_a particle_n for_o in_o vers_n 1._o show_v that_o this_o parable_n be_v insert_v to_o expound_v the_o former_a conclusion_n viz._n that_o the_o first_o shall_v be_v last_o and_o the_o last_o shall_v be_v first_o and_o therefore_o the_o end_n of_o the_o parable_n be_v conclude_v with_o the_o repetition_n of_o the_o same_o sentence_n vers_fw-la 16._o the_o last_o shall_v be_v first_o and_o the_o first_o shall_v be_v last_o christ_n by_o this_o parable_n will_v teach_v his_o hearer_n that_o there_o be_v no_o reason_n under_o heaven_n why_o they_o

equal_a with_o they_o or_o else_o prefer_v they_o before_o they_o which_o be_v first_o the_o scope_n of_o christ_n in_o this_o parable_n be_v not_o to_o set_v forth_o the_o equality_n of_o celestial_a glory_n it_o be_v not_o to_o prove_v that_o the_o happiness_n and_o blessedness_n of_o the_o saint_n shall_v be_v equal_a in_o heaven_n but_o the_o very_a drift_n of_o the_o parable_n be_v to_o show_v that_o they_o which_o be_v first_o call_v and_o convert_v have_v no_o cause_n at_o all_o to_o despise_v the_o uncalled_a &_o unconvert_v or_o to_o trample_v upon_o they_o with_o the_o foot_n of_o

they_o transgress_v this_o second_o rule_n for_o they_o must_v then_o interpret_v all_o those_o clear_a and_o plain_a scripture_n that_o i_o have_v bring_v to_o prove_v degree_n of_o glory_n in_o heaven_n by_o this_o dark_a and_o mysterious_a parable_n whereas_o they_o shall_v interpret_v this_o dark_a and_o mysterious_a parable_n if_o i_o may_v so_o say_v by_o those_o plain_a and_o clear_a scripture_n that_o i_o have_v already_o cite_v and_o therefore_o their_o interpretation_n must_v be_v reject_v it_o be_v true_a of_o some_o parable_n we_o may_v say_v as_o gregory_n do_v viz._n that_o they_o rather_o require_v a_o practiser_n than_o a_o interpreter_n and_o it_o be_v as_o true_a 16.29_o psal_n 49.4_o &_o psal_n 78.2_o john_n 16.29_o that_o other_o parable_n be_v so_o dark_a obscure_a and_o mysterious_a that_o we_o shall_v never_o understand_v they_o without_o the_o sweat_n of_o our_o brow_n and_o the_o beat_n of_o our_o brain_n and_o such_o a_o parable_n this_o seem_v to_o be_v and_o therefore_o we_o must_v interpret_v the_o part_n of_o it_o rather_o by_o other_o clear_a scripture_n than_o to_o make_v clear_a and_o plain_a scripture_n bow_v to_o this_o that_o seem_v to_o have_v a_o vail_n upon_o it_o and_o thus_o you_o see_v by_o these_o argument_n that_o the_o penny_n in_o the_o parable_n have_v no_o reference_n at_o all_o to_o heaven_n nor_o to_o any_o equality_n of_o glory_n that_o shall_v be_v among_o the_o saint_n there_o second_o chrysostome_n locum_fw-la vide_fw-la chrisostom_n in_fw-la hunc_fw-la locum_fw-la counsel_n on_o the_o text_n shall_v

so_o when_o we_o come_v to_o view_v a_o parable_n it_o be_v enough_o that_o we_o cast_v our_o eye_n principal_o upon_o the_o general_a intention_n and_o scope_n of_o it_o he_o that_o be_v very_o

upon_o the_o outside_n of_o parable_n now_o the_o scope_n of_o this_o parable_n be_v not_o to_o prove_v that_o there_o be_v a_o equality_n of_o glory_n in_o heaven_n but_o to_o reprove_v the_o jew_n
