The saints inheritance and the worldlings portion representing the glorious condition of a child…

Then it was a speech of a German Divine, though he were a good man, and lived very innocently, when he lay upon his sick bed and apprehended death, he was in great terrors of spirit, mightily troubled, and some of his friends came to him, & asked him, why should you be so troubled, that have lived so good a life as you have done? this was his answer: The judgements of God are one, and the judgements of men are another, I have now to deal with God, it is true, I lived thus ⟨p. 44⟩before men, and men gave their verdict of me as good, and thought I was in a good condition, but O, I am now to go to God, and to deal immediately with him, and Gods judgements and mans judgements are different things; when God shall come to weigh all mens portions out, as it will be, then so much righteousness, so much happiness; you'll say then, Lord what shall become of us all, all our righteousness is as the menstruous cloth; I but for the Saints, the righteousness of Christ will be put into one scale, and their portion into the other, and their portion will be weighed by the righteousness of Christ; Now when thou comest to God, thou must come to the scale, and thou wilt put in thy good servings of God, and thy coming to Church, and some good civill actions and moral things thou hast done, thou wilt put them in the scale, God will say, that thou hast had already, weighs down all those. Hast thou nothing to put into the scales but this? thou hast had thy ⟨p. 45⟩reward already for all this, and much more, then, if there be nothing to put into the scale but this, thou art undone, and there is nothing for thee for eternity; and these are the 2. first things; now then some Corollaries from hence, and then we will proceed unto the other.
