In-Text Thus if a Patron gives me a Mannor, and only covenants for the payment of some small Quit-Rent; or else bestows upon me an ample Field, upon condition that once a year I shall present him with a Turf; I cannot say that that Turf is a Recompence for the Field, but an acknowledgment of the Favour: Not the paying him for a Bargain, but the thanking him for a Benevolence. And such is the infinite Disproportion betwixt the best of our Obedience, and our least Degree of Bliss, that 'tis but a Token of our Homage, not an earning of our Reward. And therefore 'tis aptly observ'd by Grotius, that the word in the Hebrew Text which answers to the NONLATINALPHABET in the Sixth Chapter of St. Matthew, (v. 1.) doth promiscuously signifie both a Gift, and a Reward. Thus Life Eternal is a Reward, because 'tis given upon Condition; but withal it is a Gift, because 'tis given us.
