The Justice of God, is either his Gentleness, or Anger.
The Iustice of God, is either his Gentlenes, or Anger.
Gods Gentleness, is that by which he freely bestoweth upon his creature a reward. 2. Thess. 1. 5. Which is a token of the righteous judgement of God, that ye may be counted worthy the kingdom of God, for the which ye also suffer. Matth. 10. 41, 42. He that receiveth a Prophet in the name of a Prophet, shall have a Prophets reward: and he that receiveth a righteous man in the name of a righteous man, shall receive the reward of a righteous man. And whosoever shall give unto one of these little ones to drink a cup of cold water only in the name of a Disciple, verily I say unto you, he shall not loose his reward.
