But if our religion has provided us with motives that are diffident to fupport men under perfecutions and fufferings, furely the fame motives fhould be allowed fufficient to conquer the paflions and pleafures, the lufts and vanities of the world, with all other finful temptations that befet us. Some [ 8 ] Some indeed have refined upon the apoftle's doftrine, by declaring, that however the profpeft of a reward might be admitted as an encourage ment to men under the former fervile difpen- fation,... yet it is unworthy to enter into the re gards of a chriftian, who ought to be influenced by more generous motives, nor admit any thing as an encouragement to duty, but what folely terminates upon the love of God and Chrift; every thing but this, they efteem felfifh and mercenary, unworthy the fpirit of the gofpel. This I apprehend to be refining upon the chriftian religion, fince not only the old tefta- ment worthies looked forward to the glories which fhould after be revealed, but the chriftian faints and martyrs were encouraged to contend for the prize of their high calling, to prefs forward towards it, and to have rejpeft to the recompence of reward, to the crown of life, which God hath referved for fuch as love him.
