2. In other races one only is crowned; so in the Text, but one receiveth the prize; but in the spiritual race many win the prize; the Saints shall come to heaven from all the quarters of the world, East and West, &c. Matth. 8.11. Many shall come from the East and West, and shall sit down with Abraham and Isaac, and Jacob in the Kingdom of heaven. Rev. 7.4. There were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the Tribes of the children of Israel; after this I beheld, and l• a great multitude, which no man could number, of all Nations, of kindreds and people and tongues stood before the Throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white Robes and Palms in their hands, Ver. 9. By this multitude not numerable, are to be understood those that belong to the election, and are salvable; these as Victors are crowned, and stand with Palms in their hands; should but one receive the prize, there might be room left for despair.
