287. Who gives more?
God out-bids sin and Satan, and therefore surely if he that will give most shall have us, we shall be […] the Lords. Satan at most and best could (to Christ which was for all mankind at once) but say, all this will I give thee. This? Is this all? This all is nothing at all to what God offers. God offers not only these things, but greater and better things then these: for godliness hath the promise of this life, and of that to come. Who can bid more? Doth sin bid pleasures? God bids more and better; sins pleasures are but for a season, but at Gods right hand are pleasures for evermore; ever and more. Do ye bid Crowns? God bids a Crown immortal ⟨p. 121⟩which fadeth not away. Do they bid a Kingdom? Christ bids Kingdom and Glory. Oh for shame, let us not deny God our souls, seeing he bids most and best for them.
