MEN sow before they reap: So Men in this World may be said to sow; either they sow to the Flesh, or to the Spirit, and in the Resurrection-Day they shall reap.
II. That which Men sow, that also they reap: they do not sow Beans, and reap Barley; nor sow Tares, and reap Wheat: So the very same that all Men in a spiritual Sense sow,1 they shall reap; They that sow to the Flesh, shall of the Flesh reap Corruption; and they that sow to the Spirit, shall of the Spirit reap Life everlasting.
- 1Gal. 6.
III. According to the Quantity that every Man sows, so they reap; He that sows sparingly, or but a little Seed, must expect to reap sparingly, or have but a small Crop: So they who do much Service for God, or scatter liberally abroad to his People in this World, shall receive much from the Hands of God at the End of the World; and he that doth but little for God, tho he doth it in Sincerity, must expect to reap accordingly in that Day. He that improves two Talents, shall receive the Improvement of two; and he that improves five, the Improvements of five. There will be Degrees of Glory (no doubt) in the Day of the Resurrection.
