Resp. When the Hearts of his People are humblest, when their Prayers are ferventest, when their Faith is strongest, when their Forces are weakest, when their Enemies are highest; now is the usual time that Christ puts forth his Kingly Power in their Deliverance, Isa. 33.2, 8, 9.
3. Christ is a King to Reward his People, there's nothing lost by serving this King, 1. He Rewards his Subjects in this Life: 1. He gives them Inward Peace and Joy; a Bunch of Grapes by the way; and oftentimes Riches and Honour. Godliness hath the promise of this life, 1 Tim. 4.8. These are as it were the Saints Veils; but besides, the great Reward is to come, An eternal weight of Glory, 2 Cor. 4.17. Christ makes all his Subjects Kings, Rev. 2.10. I'll give thee a crown of life. This Crown will be full of Jewels, and it will never fade, 1 Pet. 5.5.
