John Trapp on Matthew 25:19

Verse 19. And reckoneth with them] This is that we must also come to. Christ will one day say, Redde rationem, [illegible: 1 word] an account of thy Stewardship. Cicero could say, Let us so frame our2 Cor. 5. 10. course, as that we reckon upon our last reckoning, & make accountIta vivamus ut rationem nobis reddendam arbitre[illegible: 1 letter]ur. Cic. in Verr. we must all come to an account. And, because often-reckonings keep long-friends, Villicus rationem cum Domino crebrò putet, saith Cato, Let us be oft dealing with our selves, and setting things to rights, betwixt God and our own souls: so shall we have the lesse to do at last cast. Sparing a little pains at first, doubleth it in the end: as he who will not cast up his books, his books will cast up him at length.
