41. Note, 1. This tells us that God rewardeth not men according to their gifts, but according to the will and heart: And it is a great comfort to every ungifted and poor inferior Christian, that they may have the reward of Preachers, if they do but receive them and further their works as they are able: yea, if they do but love them, and would receive them if they could, God taketh it as done.

2. But by the same reward, is meant the same in kind, but not in degree.

And by a Righteous man, is meant an eminent godly man; and that he that loveth such, and entertaineth them, shall be numbered with the truly righteous: But it meaneth not that every wicked liver shall speed as the Righteous, if he will but receive such, tho he amend not himself. But he that loveth a good man because he is such, and showeth b• receiving him, tho to his cost and danger, that his love is sincere, shall be numbered with such himself.
