2 Timothy4:8
Verſe 8. There is laid up a crown] Beyond a crown, the wiſhes of mortall men extend not. Alexander inviting many to ſupper, provided a crown of 180 pound to be given to thoſe that drank moſt. One and fourty killed themſelves, with drinking, to get that crown. Shall theſe do more for a trifle, then we will do for heaven?
A crown of righteouſnes] So ſalvation is called: not for that it is of right due to us, but becauſe it is purchaſed for us by the righteouſneſſe of Chriſt, and ſhall be freely given to thoſe that are juſtified by faith.
