[Verse 27] VERS. 27. For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father, with his Angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works.

[Sect. 1] §. 1. For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father. [Object:]

The Jews object, that Christ is not the Messias, and they argue thus: The Messias ought to be a Prophet, but your Christ was no Prophet, neither is called by you a Prophet (say they unto us) And therefore your Christ was not the Messias.

[Answ.] Christ was a Prophet, and is so accounted and called by us; as Luke 24. He was a Prophet, and mighty in work and speech; John 4. Sir, I see that thou art a Prophet.

[Quest.] They demand here, What did he prophesie of?

[Answ. 1] First, he prophesied of himself; Luke 18.31, 32, 33. and in this verse also he prophesieth of himself, saying, The Son of man shall come in the glo∣ry of the Father, &c.

Secondly, he prophesied of his Disciples, Mat. 10.16, 17, 18. [Answ. 2]

Thirdly, he prophesied of the Jews, Luke 19.41, [Answ. 3] 42, 43, 44. And therefore he was a Prophet, yea the true Prophet, and promised Messias, Pet. Galatin. lib. 8. pag. 323.

§. 2 And thou be shall reward every man. [Sect. 2]

The Papists object these words, [Object.] for the proof of the merit of our good works.

The Apostle, Rom. 11.35. [Answ.] doth plainly deny that God gives any thing unto any of desert: Who hath given first unto God, and it shall be resto∣red unto him again.

How can these places then be reconciled? [Quest.]

First, God properly is debtor unto none, ha∣ving [Answ. 1] the absolute dominion and Lordship over all creatures.

Secondly, God therefore is said to reward [Answ. 2] men not properly, but 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, when he per∣formes his promises which are conditionall. If the studious Reader would see this Question en∣larged, let him reade Cameron s. Myrothee. Evang. pag. 44, 45.
