That he is a Rewarder with Blessing of that which is Good, and taketh Vengeance on every one that doth Evil, Heb. 11.6. He that comes to God, must believe that he is, and that he is a Rewarder of them that diligently seek him. Gen. 1.1. He must know this, he that comes to God must believe this, if he believe not this, there is no hope of Salvation for such an one, Heb. 1.3. Eph. 1.11. Rom. 2.6.10.

Thou shalt Worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve: If a man Worship any other God, besides the Lord, or if a man Worship any other God, the Lord will cut off them that Swear by the Lord, and that Swear by Malcham. If a man Worship Angels, he holds not the Head: Get thee behind me Satan in such a Case. Avaunt.
