2. There are Some who have done far greater Service for God, and have been more Active Instruments in Glorifying his Name than Others have. Paul could say, I have Laboured more abundantly than they all, 1 Cor. 15. 10. Will not that more […] have a more […] ⟨p. 33⟩Reward? Has not Christ Promised that it shall? Rev. 22. 12. Behold I come, and my Reward is with me; to give every man according as his Work shall be: Both according to the Quality of his Works, and according to the Quantity of them. It is therefore said, that he which soweth sparingly, shall reap sparingly: and he which soweth bountifully, shall reap bountifully, 2 Cor. 9 6. There are some who have greater Talents committed to them than others Ever had; and they have faithfully improved them to the Honour of the God and Giver of them: He will then honour them accordingly. One has two Talents, another has five: One is made Ruler over five Cities, another over ten. The holy Prophets did Eminent Service for God, in bearing a Faithful Testimony against the Sins of the time: Wherefore a greater Reward will in the Day of Retribution be dispensed to them than to other Servants of the Lord. The Reward of a Prophet is distinguished from the Reward of one who is only a Righteous man, Mat. 10. 41. Some have been Instruments of Converting many ⟨p. 34⟩Sinners; and so of Saving many Souls from Death. There is a singular degree of Glory reserved for such in the heavenly World: Dan. 12. 3. They that turn many to Righteousness, shall shine as the Stars for ever and ever. The Apostle said to the Thessalonians, that they would be his Crown & his Glory at the Coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. Their having been the Seals of his Ministry, would add Glory to his Crown at the Last Day, and in Heaven for ever, 1 Thes. 2. 19, 20. Can we think, that every Saint shall have as great a Crown of Glory as Paul shall in that Day?
