Are great Saints, only, to have the Kingdom, and the glory everlasting? Are great works, only, to be rewarded? works that are done by virtue of great grace, and the abundance of the gifts of the holy Ghost? No: Whosoever shall give to drink unto one of these little ones, a cup of cold water, only in the name of a Disciple, Verily I say unto you, he shall in no wise lose a Disciples reward. Mark, here is but a little gift, a Cup of cold water, and that given to a little Saint: but both taken special notice of by our Lord Jesus Christ, Matth. 10.42.
