1Furthermore they most highly commend Gods justice and verity, when also they declare exactly, how God by his just judgement, rendereth to every one that is his. He declareth therefore what he rewardeth, & whom he rewardeth. First he payeth wages or hire. For reward is promised of God unto good works. For in the .13. of Jeremiah the Lord saith: refrain thy voice from weeping, for there is a reward for thy work. And the Lord saith also in the gospel, be glad ⟨p. 343⟩& rejoice, for your reward is great in heaven. And again: the son of man shall come in the glory of his father with his Angels, and than shall he render to every one after his doings. So the Apostle said, that every one must rise in his own body, that every one may receive such things as are done by the body, whether it be good or evil. Whilst this world florisheth, and the wicked rejoice in their voluptuousness, and the godly are afflicted, and afflict themselves with continual mortifying, the flesh judgeth, that these lose both labour and cost: but the other to be very happy. Which thing is also declared in the third & fourth chapt. of Malachi. But at the last judgement it shall finally appear, that the godly have not laboured in vain, neither that the wicked have contemned God unpunished, and despised godliness. For God rewardeth every one, after the quality of his work: the which he calleth wages. Nevertheless, the godly abuse not in the mean time this saying, acknowledging it, to be of free mercy, that they have believed, and wrought with good faith: & that good work of theirs therefore, to be accepted of God, because they be in Christ. Whereof I have written in the .3. book the .10. chapt. Of the grace of God justifying, showing that of reward, desert cannot be proved.
1Furthermore they moste highly commend Gods iustice and veritie, when also they declare exactely, howe God by his iust iudgement, rendresh to euery one that is his. He declareth therfore what he rewardeth, & whome he rewardeth. First he payeth wages or hyre. For rewarde is promysed of God vnto good workes. For in the .13. of Ieremy the Lorde saith: refrayne thy voice from weping, for there is a reward for thy worke. And the Lorde sayth also in the gospel, be glad ⟨p. 343⟩
