Secondly, it shall be a comfortable reward: for, saith the book of the Revelations, Then all tears shall be wiped out of your eyes. He doth not say, From your eyes, or from your cheeks; no, but they shall be wiped out of your eyes. So that the eyes shall be then such a womb as shall never breed a tear again. All tears shall be wiped not from your eyes, but out of your eyes. So in Rev. 7.
Thirdly, as it shall be a comfortable reward, so an honourable reward: for, saith our Saviour Christ, Be faithful unto the death, and I will give thee the crown of life. And
Fourthly, as it shall be an honourable reward, so a proportionable reward, a reward proportionable to all your sufferings. You know what the ⟨p. 78⟩Apostle saith, These light afflictions which are but for a moment, work for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory.
