3. God adjourns the Reward a while to sweeten it, and make it more welcome to us when it comesf. After all our Labours, watchings, conflicts, how comfortable will the Reward be? Nay the longer ⟨p. 68⟩the Reward is deferred, it will be the Greater. The longest Voyages have the largest returns.

If still it be asked, When shall the time of this Reward be? I say, The righteous shall receive part of their reward at Death. No sooner is the Soul out of the Body, but it is Present with the Lord, 2. Cor. 5.8f. And the full Coronation is at the Resurrection, when the Soul and Body shall be re-united and perfected in Glory. Christians, faint not in your Voyage (though troublesome,) you are within a few Leagues of Heaven. Your Salvation is now nearer than when you First believed, Rom. 13.11.
