This reward is nothing in effect but a retaliation, if we live well here, God will then crown his own gifts; but if we sin without repentance, we may not escape without punishment. There is a God that sits and sees, and anon will reward us.
This reward is nothing in effect but a retaliation, if we live well here, God will then crown his own gifts; but if we sinne without repentance, we may not escape without punishment. There is a God that sits and sees, and anon will reward us.
But to unfold this Reward,] there lies in it a Doom, and Execution.
God speaks it in the first effects it in the second: he gives it in our doom, and we receive it in the execution.
The doom is of two sorts, according to the parties that receive it. One is an absolution, which is the doom of Saints; the other is a condemnation, which is the doom of reprobates: there is a reward on the right hand bestowed on the blessed, and an heavy judgement which falls on the left hand upon the heads of the wicked.
