AEnig. 291.
If heauen be freely giuen for the merit of Christ, how is it then the reward of good works?
Resolution.
Though heauenly happinesse bee freely giuen as the purchase of Christs passion, yet because it is giuen in the end of our life after the workes done, (as a recompence vseth to be giuen to labourers in the end of the day,) hence it is in Scripture called a Reward, not of debt, as due to our worke, but of free fauour, the better to encourage vs to our worke. Matth. 5.
