Every man shall have according to what he hath done.
Our receivings will be according to our layings out, whether good or evil. God is so far from doing any man wrong, that every man shall have his due reward. (Psal. 62.12.) Also to ⟨p. 564⟩thee O Lord belongeth mercy, for thou renderest to every man according to his work. And lest any should hope to escape the evil which at least some of their evil works deserve by the secrecy of them, that hope is quite dashed because God is the searcher and seer not only of our works but of our hearts (Prov. 24.12.) Doth not he that pondereth the heart consider it, and he that keepeth the soul, doth not he know it? (what follows?) and shall not he render to every man according to his works? Solomon speaks in that place of such as make excuses to shift themselves off from acts of charity; they will say, we know not whether it be so with him or no; possibly he may not be in such want as he pretendeth. Take heed of these cloaks of covetousness, and pitiful pleas to save your purses from showing pity to the poor, for (saith Solomon) Will not God search it out, and render to every man according to his work? The holy Scripture abounds in this point. Read Jer. 32.19. Ezek. 33.10. Rom. 2.6. 2 Cor. 5.10. 1 Pet. 1.17. Rev. 22.12.
