Every man both good and bad shall feel himself sufficiently Doct. recompensed for his service.
Euery man both good and bad shall feele himselfe sufficiently Doct. recompenced for his seruice.
They that serve the flesh, and increase their labours to fulfil the lusts thereof, shall at length receive their pay, and have more wages than ever they looked for, or wished for. And they that seek the Lord, and show themselves diligent in doing his will, shall in the end be fully requited, and their will far exceed their hope. Both shall reap the crop which they have sown, & neither of their seed shall fail of growth, or ripening. See the same point in effect prosecuted in the eleventh chapter, v. 18. where he saith, that the wicked worketh a deceitful work: but he that seweth righteousness shall receive a sure reward.
