But his final Reward (which is express'd by Life Eternal ) does amount to so huge and unconceivable a value, that the Case stands with us, as heretofore with Simonides, when demanded by Hiero the Definition of God; the longer we study to sum it up, the more we shall find it unconceivable. And what we cannot conceive, we can much less utter. It is not only the greatest that we can have, nor only the greatest that can be had, but even the greatest we are able to ask or think, the greatest we are able to wish or fancy. The very Hope and Expectation of Life Eternal, although at many years distance, and wrapt up in Futurity, does carry with it the greatest Pleasure of which we are capable whilst we are here; not to mention those Pleasures which it will ravish us with hereafter. For That is sure the greatest wages, and carries with it the greatest pleasure, whose very hope and expectation is apt to soften the hardest work, and able to alleviate the heaviest Burden. But the hope and expectation of Life Eternal, and the Glory to be reveal'd, is apt to soften the hardest work, and to lighten the heaviest Burden; therefore That is the greatest wages, and carries with it the greatest Pleasure. The Assumption is to be prov'd by an Induction of particulars: |
