WE must all appear before the judgement seat of Christ, for to receive every man according to the deeds of his body. 2. Corinth. v.1 As thy deeds testify of thee so shall thy reward be. Thy deeds be evil, then is the wrath of God upon thee, and thine hart is evil, and so shall thy reward be, if thou repent not. Fear therefore and cry to God for grace, that thou mayst love his laws. And when thou lovest them cease not till thou have obtained power of God to fulfil them: so shalt thou be sure that a good reward shall follow. 2Which reward not thy deeds, but christs have purchased for thee, whose purchasing also is that lust which thou hast to Gods law, & that might where with thou fulfillest them. Remember also, that a reward is rather called that which is given freely, then that which is deserved. That which is deserved, is called (if thou wilt give him his right name) hire or wages. A reward is given freely to provoke unto love and to make friends.
WE muste all appeare before the iudgement seate of Christ, for to receaue euery man accordyng to the dedes of his body. 2. Corinth. v.1 As thy dedes testifie of thee so shal thy reward be. Thy dedes be euill, then is ye wrath of God vpon thee, and thyne hart is euil, and so shall thy reward be, if thou repent not. Feare therfore and crye to God for grace, that thou mayst loue hys lawes. And whē thou louest them cease not til thou haue obtained power of God to fulfill them: so shalt thou be sure that a good reward shall folow. 2Whiche reward not thy deedes, but christes haue purchased for thee, whose purchasing also is that lust which thou hast to Gods law, & that might where with thou fulfillest them. Remember also, that a reward is rather called that which is giuen freely, then that which is deserued. That which is deserued, is called (if thou wilt giue hym hys right name) hyre or wages. A reward is giuen freely to prouoke vnto loue and to make frendes.
