man. shall receive a righteous mans reward.* 1.1 And whosoever shall give to drinke unto one of these little ones, a cup of cold water only in the name of a Disciple, he shall in no wise loose his reward, Mat. 10.41, 42. For a cup of cold water, (water the common element, and cold water that cost thee not the charge of fire to warme it) there is a Torrent, may a very Sea of all pleasures provi∣ded for thee for all eternity. For GOD is not unrighteous to forget your worke and labour of love, which yee have shewed toward his name, in that yee have mini∣stred to the Saints, and do minister, Hebr. 6.10.
See Gal. 6.9, 10.
