There are many who know what is right, who know whose Cause is right, yet will not do right. But as sure as God knows every mans right, so certainly he will do him right. Abraham ⟨p. 110⟩pleaded thus with God, Shall not the Judge of all the Earth do right? (Gen. 18.25.) Certainly, he will do right, he cannot but do right; Judgement is before him. The Scripture is express, He will reward every man (and award to every man) according to his works. Every man shall have as he is; for (as the Apostle speaks, 1 Cor. 4.6.) He shall bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and make manifest the counsels of the heart; and then shall every man have praise of God; that is, every man shall have it, who is fit for it; every man shall have praise, who is (as we say) praise-worthy, how much soever he hath been dispraised, slurred in his credit, unworthily dealt with, and accused in this world. God will not hold, or detain the truth of men in unrighteousness, though men hold both the truth of God, and the truth of men (the truth of their Causes) in unrighteousness. Judgement is before the Lord.
