Our Saviour Christ here, hath respect to both: and in both these respects it's true, That whosoever doth leave any worldly interest for Christ, and his Name-sake, shall be sure to be well rewarded.
But then still to clear it:
Quest. What is it to leave any worldly interest for the Name of Christ?
Answ. The Name of Christ is that whereby Christ is made known unto us; as the name of a man, is that whereby a man is made known unto us. A man is made known unto us by his name; so Christ is made known unto us by his Name. That whereby Christ is made known unto us, that's his Name.
Now Christ is made known unto us by his Spirit, and by the Gospel.
