Now as he of whom Christ is ashamed when he comes in his glory, and in the glory of the holy Angels, will then lie under unconceivable disgrace, shame, dishonour, and contempt: so he whom Christ shall confess, own, commend, and praise at that day, must needs have very great Dignity, Honour, and Renown; for then shall every man have praise of God, to wit, according to his works. Luke 12. 2, 3. Mark 8. 38. Mat. 10. 32. 1 Cor. 4, 5. Now will Christ proclaim before thee, and all others, what thou hast done, and what thou hast suffered, what thou hast owned, and what thou hast withstood for his name. This is he that forsook his goods, his Relations, his Country, and life for me: this is the man that overcame ⟨p. 76⟩the flatteries and threats, allurements and enticings of a whole World for me; behold •i•, he is an Israelite indeed, the top man in his Generation, none like him in all the Earth. It is said, that when King Ahasuerus, had understanding of how good service Mordecai the Jew had done to, and for him, he commanded that the royal Apparel, and the Crown, with the Horse that the King did ride on, should be given to him, and that he should with that Crown, Apparel, and Horse, be had through the City, in the presence of all his Nobles, and that Proclamation should be made before him: thus shall it be done to the man whom the King delighteth to honour. Esth. 6. 9, 10, 11.
Now as he of whom Christ is ashamed when he comes in his glory, and in the glory of the holy Angels, will then lie under unconceiveable disgrace, shame, dishonour, and contempt: so he whom Christ shall confess, own, commend, and prayse at that day, must needs have very great Dignity, Honour, and Renown; for then shall every man have prayse of God, to wit, according to his works.
