Fifthly, look what that is which we have in a way of satisfaction, that we have in truth and in effect, though not in formality. Look what that is that you do leave or forsake for Christ, that you shall have in satisfaction an hundred-fold more then you had before. If you leave any thing for Christ, you shall have an hundred-fold more satisfaction in what you have given for Christ, then what you keep for your selves. So that an hundred-fold in a way of substitution, and an hundred-fold in a way of satisfaction. And thus you see how we receive an hundred-fold ⟨p. 77⟩in this life: That whatsoever you do lay out for Christ here, you shall be paid an hundred-fold; and how, and in what manner.
But then secondly, what is that reward that we shall have in •he life to come? Suppose a man do leave a worldly interest for the Name of Christ, or that he do suffer for the Name of Christ; what is that reward that he shall have in the world to come?
Truly that reward is great, and I am not able to speak it; it requires the unwearied hand and arm of Eternity, to tell over all the wealth of glory that the suffering people of God shall have in the world to come. Only thus much I'll say, and briefly.
