Shall the glorie of euerlasting life be commune to all the elect after an equall measure?
No, but as God bestoweth his gift on the elect in this life, not a∣like vnequally: so wil he crowne those gifts of his in the elect with an vnequal measure of glory in heauen. For that saying of Christ is proper to the Apostles, Ye shall sit iudging the twelue tribes of Israel, Mat, 19, 28. And Paule doubteth not but that there is a peculier crowne laide vp in store for him according to the propor∣tion of his labours, 1. Thes. 2.19. and so Dan. 12.3. The wise, saith he, shall shine as the brightnesse of the firmament, and they that turne ma∣ny to righteousnesse, shall shine as the starres for euer and euer. And the Scripture, doth not onely promise life eternall to the faithfull, but in the same a speciall reward to euerie of thema 1.1. This is probably perceiued by the reason of the contraryb 1.2. Hither may bee also alluded that saying of Paule. 1, Cor. 15, 41, For one starre differeth from another starre in glorie.
