Restore]
Gal. 6. 1. The word foreign, which we render restore, signifies properly to put in … … any member of a body which is dislocated, and so fitly belongs to the restoring an … person to the society and peace of the Church. Dr. Ham. Annot. a.
And restore all things, Mat. 17. 11. foreign, the word here used is rendred by Hesychius and Phavorinus, to finish or perfect. According to this notation of the word, this would … the importance of the place, he shall finish or perform, establish settle all things; both perform all that was … of Elias, at his coming, and close and shut up the first state of the world, that of the … …, making entrance as an harbinger; on the second, that of the Messias. In this sense it is that it is said, that the Law and the … were untill …, noting him to be the conclusion and shutting up, finishing and closing that state, and that was to be the office of Elias, under whose name John was …. And thus the word foreign clearly signifies, Act 3. 21. But it's also certain that this word hath another signification belonging to it, to restore or reduce, Act. 1. 7. So for this place in …. Matth. it must be observe, that Mal. 4. 8. where Elias's coming it's there added in the …, in stead of foreign, he shall turn the heart of the Fathers (not to, but) with the children, foreign (the word here used) he shall reduce or restore the …. And it's evident, that this place refers to that thought it repeat not the remainder of that verse, but onelyonly foreign in stead of it; and doing so, it must then signifie John Baptist's preaching of repentance (which is the signification of foreign, and the importance of that verse in Malichi) and by that means converting them to the … of Christ, i. e. by his preaching, endevouring, thought not very successefully, to do so. This then being the meaning of that … in Malachi, of a spiritual restoring, bringing them to repentance or preaching the doctrine of repentance to the Jews, they understood it in a more carnall sense of … them to their splendid state again, which they enjoyed before their captivities, and late conquests of the Romanes over them. Dr. Ham. Annot. b.
Restorer]
A restorer of thy life, Ruth 4. 15. i. e. He shall comfort and revive thee, restoring thee as it were to a new life. See Psal. 19. 8. & 23. 3. Lam. 1. 11. Annot.
The restorer of parts to dwell in, Isa. 58. 12. That is, the clearer of those wayes by which men may return to those places, where they are to inhabit, whereas they were formerly neglected and disused, and consequently overgrown, either through want of people to travel, or of safety to travellers, Judg. 5. 6, 7. Lam. 1. 4. Or, the returner of those places that were made paths of before by the enemy passing to and fro over them, having ruined the buildings, and flatted the foundation of them, to be places for men to inhabit again. Annot.
Restrain]
To hold in, stay or stop, Gen. 8. 2. To be cut off, Gen. 11. 6. To close up (according to the Greek) Gen. 16. 2. To withhold or keep back, Gen. 36. 6. To frown upon, 1 Sam. 3. 13. marg. to denie a thing unto others, and appropriate it unto ones self, Job 15. 8. To gird (namely with joyfullnesse, that they may sing praises unto thee) or (if we refer it to the hot rage of the wicked) to gird or binde from attempting further evill, Psal. 76. 10.
Restraint]
There is no restraint to the Lord, 1 Sam. 14 6. that is, he is in himselfe so … and all sufficient, that it is all one him to save with few as with many. So 2 Chr. 14. 11. Annot.
Rests]
Narrowed rests, 1 King. 6. 6. Heb. Narrowings or rebatements. At the floor of the middle chambers, there was a rebatement in the wall, a cubit thick; and at the floor of the highest chambers, such another rebatement. On these rebatements the beams of the chambers were laid. Annot.
Resurrection]
;;An action of divine power, quickning dead bodies, and raising them up to life. 1 Cor. 15. 12. How doe some say there is no resurrection? This is the second resurrection.
;;2. Restoring dead souls to the life of grace, that they may live to God, being moved by his Spirit. Rev. 20. 6. Blessed are they that have part in the first resurrection. Joh. 5. 25. This is the first resurrection.
3. The raiser up of the dead. Joh. 11. 25. I am the resurrection and the life.
4. Redemption by Christs death going before, and for life everlasting which follows after, Phil. 3. 10.
There's a spiritual resurrection, Rev. 20. 6. and a corporall …, Act. 24. 15. Speciall, of some raised from death, both in the Old and New Testament. Generall at the last day, which shall be both of the just and unjust, Act. 24. 15. This resurrection of the body was denyed by the Sadduces, Mat. 22. 23. denyed also by some Christians, 1 Cor. 15. 12. It was … by the … Philosophers, Act. 17. 32. and some taught, that it is past allready, 2 Tim. 2. 8.
Resurrection]
…. 22. 31. foreign, of which the Sadduces ask, v. 23. and foreign, which Christ undertakes here to demonstrate, doth not … signifie the resurréction of the body, but denotes another life (besides this, and after this) a continuing or being kept alive by God after departure out of this life; as that which is call'd, Rom. 9. 17. Raising up (and in Luke the phrase is foreign, the same that there) is in the Hebr. from whence it's cited, Exod. 9. 16. to make to stand, and is rendred by the Septuagint, keeping alive, or safe. And the litterall notation of the word foreign goes no farther; for foreign is standing, or subsisting, and foreign in composition signifies re, or again. So foreign, is the resubsistence, or second state of men, that after this life, consisting first of the immortality and continuance of the soul in state of separation, and at length in the reunion of the body to it, whereby it becomes perfect. It's true, it sometimes signifies the resurrection of the body distinctly, but that is, when it's joyned with the word foreign of the flesh, or foreign of the body, or foreign of the dead, in the neuter, (as foreign. signifies cadavera, or dead bodies) or when without any of these, the context of the Author doth appear to restrain it to that sense; but here foreign, is the masculine (as appears by comparing it with the story in St. Luke distinctly foreign in the parallel) and the context doth not so restrain it, but rather enforceth the enlarging of it, in like manner, as foreign, ver. 23. may be the character of the Sadduces, who denyed all future life, or subsistence of soul or body after death. And thus foreign seems to note, Luk. 14. 14. the reward there spoken of, being that which is opposed to our rewarding one another in this life; and so the phrase denoting all, which is not of this life, i. e. that blisse which the just enjoy after this life. And the phrase which the Jews used to signifie this, is the age or world to come, which these Sadduces distinctly denyed, and the Pharisees believed and affirmed. And sure St. Paul, one of those Pharisees christianized, did reckon of this continued life of the soul, contrary to the mortality or sleeping of it, when, Phil. 1. 23. he saith, that he desires foreign (which sure is a phrase to express the separation of soul and body) and to be with Christ, which I suppose most conclude a being of the soul, and that a happy one, unless Christ be imagined still to be asleep; and so again, when he cals travaling out of the body, a travelling to the Lord, 1 Cor. 5. 8. Dr. Ham. Annot.
Resurrection of condemnation]
;;Such a resurrection, as hath condemnation and eternall death to follow it. Joh. 5. 29. Others shall arise to the resurrection of condemnation.
Resurrection from the dead]
;;The whole mediation of Christ in his Incarnation, Nativity, Life, Suffering, Death, Buriall, his remaining in the grave under the power of Death, Ascension, return to judgment, Rom. 10. 9. And raised him from the dead. Also it signifieth life eternall, which followes the generall resurrection, Phil. 3. 11.
;;The Resurrection of Christ from the dead, is not onelyonly a witnesse of our being justified by Christ the Conquerou… of sin and death; but th ough faith it is the reall cause o… our Justification, as his death was the cause of the remissio… of sins, Rom. 4. 25.
Resurrection from the dead, Rom. 1. 4. foreign, is the general word which contains under it the rising again of every dead body, and is applyable to every such particular that riseth, and so here denotes the resurrection of Christ, being by the context particularly determined to that, as in other places it may denote the resurrection of any one or more men, as the context shall enforce. Dr. Ham. Annot. a.
This is the first resurrection, Rev. 20. 5, 6. At Luthers time, or, after the coming in of the Jews, and Antichrists destruction, there shall be such a new face of the Church, as if the Saints were all raised up again, Joh. 5. 25, 28. This resurrection is not of particular persons, but of whole Churches and Nations, as Rom. 11. 15. alluded to in the raising of dead bones, Ezek. 37. 1, &c. in which they are said to have part, who by the means then publickly and plentifully afforded, are spiritually quickened; that is, raised from the death of sin, to the life of grace, Joh. 5. 24, 25. Act. 8. 21. Eph. 2. 1, 5. Annot.
Some understand the first resurrection from the death of sin; and a reigning in heaven a thousand years, they interpret eternity, and a further degree of glory, for such as are called forth to suffer.
Secondly, Others understand it literally, that then shall be a corporal resurrection of all the Martyres, that live with Christ a 1000 years.
First, It cannot be a reigning with Christ in heaven, because it is something peculiar, to those that are beheaded, a resurrection which follows that, they rise from sin before they die; besides the 9 and 10 verses, shew it cannot be meant of heaven.
Secondly, it cannot be understood of the corporal resurrection, the dead in Christ rise first, yet so that all the rest shall be raised in the same moment.
Resurrection is used commonly in Scripture to expresse an high degree of advancement, after a low ebb of misery, Ezek. 37. Isa. 26. 19. Those that were beheaded, shall live. Leighs Annot.
This is the first resurrection, to wit, so to be enlightened with the truth, as they come from Popish superstition and idolatry, to the true and sincere worship of God, shewing forth the powerful effects thereof in life and conversation. Bernard.
Resurrection and life]
;;Christ to be the author and worker of the resurrection of the soul from sin, and of the bodies from the grave, and of both from death spiritual and temporal, and to set and keep them in state of life, Joh. 11. 25. That he speaketh here of spiritual life, also, is clear by the words next following.
Resurrection of life]
;;Such a resurrection as hath eternall life following it, Joh. 5. 29. Which life, because it belongs onelyonly to the just, it is therefore called the resurrection of the just. Luk. 14. 14. At the resurrection of the just.

Retire]
To turn from, Judg. 20. 39. To withdraw ones self, 2 Sam. 11. 15. To depart, or be scattered, 2 San. 20. 22. marg. To strengthen ones self or (rather) to get away, Jer. 4. 6. See marg.

At the return of the year]
1 King. 20. 22. At the coming on of the summer, when the camps are wont to take the field, to enjoy the opportunity of food and victual. D. Annot.

;;To come back again, after one is departed or gone out of the way.
;;2. To repent, as when a sinner which hath erred from the wayes of Gods commandements, doth come again by unfaigned repentance. Act. 3. 19. Return and repent, &c. Ezek. 18. 32. Thus sinners return to God. Isa. 10. 21.
;;3. To yeeld or give consent to the minde or desire of another, Jer. 15. 9. Do not return to them, but let them return unto thee. Thus the people return to their Minister.
;;4. To shew fresh signes of favour, after some judgements for sins. Psal. 61. 20. Thou wilt return. Psal. 40. 13. Joel 2. 14. Who knoweth if God will return? Thus God returneth to us.

6. To depart away 1 Sam. 29. 4. Luk. 23. 48.

Reuben]
Seeing his Son, the vision of his Son, or the Son of vision. The Son of Jacob by Leah, Gen. 29. 32. Of him came the Families of the Reubenites, Numb. 26. 7. who in Judg. 5. 15, 16. are tearmed Reuben, For the divisions of Ruben, &c.
To reveal]
;;To make us understand any part of divine truth, which we knew not before. Phil. 3. 15. God shall reveal the same unto them.
;;2. To open a secret committed to us. Prov. 20. 19. Revealeth or discovereth secrets.
;;3. To propound and hold forth a thing to be seen and looked upon clearly and manifestly. Thus is righteousnesse and salvation revealed in the Gospel. Rom. 1. 17. Thereby is revealed the righteousnesse of God. Hereby is discerned and severed the Gospel from Philosophy, which teacheth things known by nature, or comprehensible by reason: Also, from the Law and Books of Moses, which taught this righteousnesse darkly and afar off, in shews and shadows, not plainly, as the Gospel doth: which so manifesteth this righteousnesse, as it giveth and exhibiteth it to the Believers, to whom it is so made known by the Gospel, as it is hid from such as perish, 2 Cor. 4. 3.
;;Two wayes is the Justice of God revealed by the Gospel.
;;1. Because it effectually teacheth, that that righteousnesse whereby the sinner is made able to stand before the judgment of the most righteous God, is not a performance and observance of the Law, of Works. of Ceremonies, but a free acceptation of a sinner to mercy, and an imputation of righteousnesse through Christ his merit.
;;2. Because it sheweth the way and mean how this righteousnesse is obtained, to wit, only by Faith.
;;4. To witnesse by examples, and by experiment or daily proof to declare. Rom. 1. 18. … revealed from heaven. For although Gods vengeance against sinners be manifested sundry wayes; as by natural light accusing, Rom. 2. By the Law shewing and working wrath, Rom. 4. By the Gospel, which hath a comminatory voyce (Joh. 3. last) against Unbelievers, as well as a consolatory unto Believers: yet here is meant the shewing of Gods wrath by daily experience, as the stories of those times when Paul wrote, and the rest of this Chapter plainly and cleerly convince it.
5. To open the ear, 2 Sam. 7. 27. marg. It's all one with, To shew, open, bring to light, make known, &c.
Reveal]
When the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven, 2 Thess. 1. 7. The Revelation of Christ, as the coming of Christ, is a phrase of a doubtfull signification; sometimes signifying the coming to the finall doom; sometimes also that coming that was described, Mat. 24. and was to be within that generation. And so sure it signifies in several places of St. Peter, 1 Pet. 1. 7, 13. & chap. 4. 13. and the deliverance ready to be revealed in the last time, ch. 1. 5. The destruction of the Jewes, being the time of the deliverance and escaping to the Christians that were persecuted by them (See Rom. 13. 11.) So again, 1 Pet. 5. 1. where St. Peter saying of himself, that he was a witnesse of the sufferings of Christ, addeth, he was also partaker of the glory that should be revealed, i. e. present at the transfiguration, where by Moses and Elias were represented and declared the glorious consequents of his crucifixion, i. e. the destruction of his …, and deliverance of his faithfull disciples. And so here it most probably signifies, where the vengeance on the Oppressors, i. e. the crucifiers of Christ, and … of Christians is described, and an Appendix of that rest and release to the oppressed, which is the deliverance so oft promised to them that persevere, and endure, and … those persecutions, and that v. 10. in that day, which is the notation of that time of vengeance upon the Jews. Dr. Ham. Annot. b.
To reveal Christ in us]
;;To open the eyes of our minde by the Spirit, that we may see him to be the only Saviour, and to be our Saviour. Gal. 1. 15. It pleased God to reveal his Son in me.
Revealer of secrets]
Dan. 2. 47. See Isa. 41. 22, 23. Psal. 139. 2. Annot. This is peculiar to God, nor can any other reveal secrets unlesse they be informed by him.
Revel]
A shepheard of God, the friend of God, or the breaking asunder of God. The Son of Esau by … his Wife, Gen. 36. 4. The Father-in-law of Moses, Exod. 2. 18. The Son of Ibnijah, 1 Chr. 9. 8.
Revelation]
;;An uncovering or opening something that is hid, and secret. Rev. 1. The Revelation of John the Divine; that is, which was shewed to him. How do some teach, that this Book is so hard that it cannot be understood? if the holy Spirit have entituled it the Revelation, that is a Declaration, or a thing revealed, immediately from Christ, as to Paul, Eph. 3. 3. or mediately by others, as to John by an Angel, Rev. 1. 1.
2. Manifestation or opening, Rom. 16. 25.
3. The gift of interpretation, 1 Cor. 14. 6. 26.
4. An extraordinary information, either by Gods immediate voyce, or by Vision or Dream, or inward inspiration, Gal. 1. 12. & 2. 2. Eph. 3. 3.
5. An ordinary teaching by the Spirit in the preaching of the Word, Eph. 1. 17.
6. Appearing, Tit. 1. 13. 1 Pet. 1. 13.
Revelation]
Hath a revelation, 1 Cor. 14. 26. That foreign doth not alwayes signifie a Vision; or passively, a receiving a revelation by extasie or dream from God, but only a sense or notion, a meaning or interpretation of a piece of Scripture, that through some figure (or the like) hath much difficulty in it, may appear by vers. 6. where in opposition to the miraculous speaking of tongues, those four wayes of expounding in the Church are set down; and the first of them foreign, revelation, or expounding of sacred figures, &c. So vers. 26. foreign, hath a revelation, as hath an interpretation, is of him that can expound any such figure; as the other is he that can interpret a strange language; and so here in this verse, that which is here hath a revelation, must be expounded by the Prophets speaking, vers. 29. For thus it lyes, Let the Prophets speak two or three, i. e. so many in a meeting, If another that … by have any Revelation; i. e. if whilest one is speaking, another be, or conceive himself able to expound the …, then let the first, i. e. the Prophet, then a speaking, hold his peace, give way to him; whereas the Prophets speaking, is all one with having a revelation; so the thing thus delivered being to be … of by others, whether it be right, or no, let others judge, v. 29. is concluded not to be any speciall … from God. For if it were supposed such, it ought not to be subject to others judging of it. Dr. Ham. Ann. b.
The day of revelation]
;;A time of declaration appointed in Gods counsell, for the manifesting of dark things, which be hid and kept close, Rom. 2. 5.
The revelation of Jesus Christ]
;;That prophesie which Jesus Christ hath opened unto us out of the bosome of the Father, by the Ministery of the Angels. Rev. 1. 1. The Revelation of Jesus Christ.
;;2. His declaring himself unto us to be our Redeemer by his Word and Spirit, even in this life. 1 Pet. 1. 13. Trust persectly in the grate brought you in the revelation of Jesus Christ. This is ordinary, as here; or extraordinary, as Gal. 1. 12.
;;3. The glorious appearing of Jesus Christ at the last day, 1 Pet. 1. 13. Tit. 2. 13.
Revelation]
;;The uncovering of something which is hid, as removing a vail or curtain which hindereth out eye-fight. This is the proper signification.
;;2. A manifestation and discovery of divine things, secret in respect of men, for the common good of the Church. Rev. 1. 1. The Revelation of Jesus Christ. This title of [Revelation] being given unto this Book of John, and to the whole Gospel of God, Math. 11. 25. teacheth us, that the search and understanding of them, doth as far exceed all mortall wit, as the knowledge of things to come till they be opened; or things hidden, till they be uncovered; or dark Riddles till they be declared. But if this Book be a Revelation, how do they well which terrifie Christians from reading and studying it.
The former Books for the most part are either Historical, or Doctrinall; This is for the main matter of it, Symbolicall and Propheticall, containing predictions of many things to come, both in the Church, and without it, in the world, Symbolically represented. It is called a Revelation, because it was revealed by God, and the things therein contained, are such, as no wisdome of man, without some such speciall Revelation, could have manifested or foreseen. So 2 Cor. 12. 1. 7. Mat. 11. 25. & 16, 17. 1 Cor. 2. 9, 10. And, of Jesus Christ, because John had it from him, as Paul his Revelations. 2 Cor. 12. 1, 2. and his Gospel. Gal. 1. 1, 2. Annot. Revelation, that is, a discovery or manifestation of things which before were hidden, and secret, for the common good of the Church. He doth not say, This is the Revelation of Jesus Christ, but after the manner of the Prophets, The Vision of Esay. The word of the Lord which was to Hoseah: And after the manner of the Evangelists, The Book of the Generation of Jesus Christ, Mat. 1. The beginning of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, Mar. 1. which Ellipsis is elegant. Leigh's Annot.
To be revealed]
;;Not now by stealth, under-hand and in secret, as at first, but openly to shew himself in his Doctrine and Government, to be that Adversary of God, even that singular Antichrist, 2 Thess. 2. 8.
Revellings]
Gal. 5. 21. 1 Pet. 4. 3. Luxurious feasting and banqueting, wherein men take liberty unto all lascivious and riotous behaviour; so called as some think, because such feasting and riotous feeding breeds foreign (the word by which … is expressed is foreign) heavy sleep, that men are even buryed in sleep caused by good cheer. It signifieth Excesse of Belly-cheer in riotous Feasts. And because in such feasting oftentimes there is Musick, the Syrian Translator (it may be) rendred it in Rom. 13. 13. not in musick, meaning, vain and filthy Songs, and petulant behaviour, for foreign signifieth, to sing basely at the Cup. From hence the Heathen called their god of wantonnesse and revelling foreign, and hereby were signified those pastimes that they used in their Festivities as Saturnalia, in honour of their heathen gods, like to which be our … hitson-Ales, Mummings, &c. This was likewise that abominable Idol of Moab, Chemosh, so called from some filthy behaviour used or seen in the worship of that Idol. Leigh. Crit. Sac. in the word foreign.
To revenge, or avenge]
;;To punish sin, commonly with some judgements like and proportionable to the sin it self. Psal. 94. 1. Revenge thy self O God; or, O God the Avenger. God revengeth either immediately from himself, or by means of Magistrates, Angels, men, or other creatures, Rom. 13. 4.
;;2. To requite an injury done us, out of some hate against our person. Rom. 12. 19. Revenge not your selves; that is, Recompense not evil for evil, Rom. 12. 17. See Ezek. 25. 12, 15.
To revenge, or avenge]
;;To take punishment at last upon the great Whore the Romish Church, which had so long with impunity vexed the Saints, to whom this should be a great matter and occasion of joy. Rev. 18. 20. Rejoyce, for God hath punished her to be revenged (or avenged) on her for your sake.
Revenge]
Unlawfull, Jer. 20. 10. Ezek. 21. 15. Lawfull, 2 Cor. 7. 11. What revenge, either taken upon the … person, by the censure of Excommunication pronounced against him, or against your selves, by the great … you express'd for having been so negligent before, punishing your selves for not having punished him. Annot.
…]
Put for the pursner of a Murtherer, Numb. 35 19. And for the Magistrate, Rom. 13. 4.

;;2. All comely behaviour towards men, which is meet for their gifts and places. As Solomon did reverence to … his Mother: … to the Rulers of Sichem. Math. 21. 37. They will reverence my Son. Gen. 33. 7. They drew …, and did reverence. Heb. 13. 9. And we gave them reverence.
To reverence]
To have in honour and reverence, and that both inwardly, and outwardly, which the Jews should have performed toward Christ, Mat. 21. 37. and the Wife is to perform towards her Husband, Eph. 5. 33. which … would not perform towards …, though others did, Est. 3. 2.
Reverence my Sanctuary, Levir. 19. 30. or fear my Sanctuary, unto which they were to come on the Sabbaths, Ezek. 46. 3. which Sanctuary was now the Tabernacle, afterwards the Temple. This fear was for the presence of God therein. See Gen. 28. 16, 17. & Eccl. 5. 1. And as the Sanctuary of God was chiefly a figure of the body of our Lord Jesus, Joh. 2. 19, 21. Heb. 9 11. So this precept hath chiefest respect unto him whom all ought to reverence, and to honour the Son, even as they honour the Father, Joh. 5. 23. who when he bringeth in the first-begotten into the world, he saith, And let all the Angels of God worship …, Heb. 1. 6. ….

Reumab]

Reward]
;;A just recompense given unto Labourers at the end of their work, as the Labourers. Matth. 20. 8. Received their wages in the even.
;;2. A free recompense, given of mercy unto the godly after all their labours and travels in the service of God (as Labourers use to be rewarded at the end of the day, when their work is done) Math. 6. 6. Shall reward thee openly. Math. 10. 41. This is far from Popish merit and deserving, by worthinesse of the work done. We teach reward by favour from God, not by desert of our own work. That which Christ in Matth. 6. 1. calls reward, in Luk. 6. 32. is called in the Greek Charis, that is, Grace, which we translate, Thanks.
;;3. An evill done of ones own accord, Gen. 50. 15.
4. A free gift, 1 King. 13. 7. tearmed, a Fee, Dan. 2. 6. marg. & Dan. 5. 17. marg.
5. Gifts of bribery, Deut. 10. 17. Psal. 15. 5.
6. The end and punishment, Psal. 91. 8. Luk. 23. 41.
7. A good end and issue, Prov. 24. 14.
8. That which is desired, Mat. 6. 2.
;;Reward is named of a word in Hebrew [ … ] which signifieth the heel or footstool, and figuratively is used for the end of a thing, (as the head for the beginning, Psal. 119. 160.) and so for the successe, event, and recompense that followeth thereupon, Psal. 12. 19. Prov. 23. 18.
;;Note. Reward is the end of the work, and is given when the work is ended.
Reward]
;;A good thing freely given after the labour and travel of this life ended, Heb. 10. 35.
Reward of the Inheritance]
;;The heavenly inheritance given in stead of a reward, not of debt but of favour: for an Inheritance belongs to Sons; and is due by grace of Adoption, not by merit of works. Col. 3. 24. See Rom. 8. 17. Mat. 25. 34. A Metaphor; for as a reward is given after the labour is ended (whence reward is in Hebrew signified by two words, whereof one importeth an heel, the other an extremity or end) so after our labour in the Lord is finished, heavenly happinesse is bestowed on the Sons of God. Peter in Epist. 1. ch. 1. 9. useth (Telos, or end) in the same sense.
To reward]
;;To return and repay extreme ignominy and pain, or vexation unto the Antichristian crew and Popish Babylonish rout, in lieu and recompense of all that vexation and injury which either by inticement to their sins; or by inflicting torment upon such as refused to submit to them, they had most wickedly offered to the Saints. Rev. 18. 6. Reward her as she hath rewarded you. It is worth our noting that this charge is given to such as before were bid come out of Babylon, vers. 4. even to such as had been the Citizens of Rome, Members of the Papacy, that they should be the Ministers of this punishment and revenge, being likely to do that more thoroughly, through the fresh remembrance of their late oppressions: what may we think of them who are so favourable and indulgent to this City, that great Whore, as to wink at her sins, not to execute sharp wrath against them, not to think of ruining, but to attempt the reforming of that desperate strumpet?
Reward]
Spoken
I. of God, and that,
1. With relation unto his own children, Matt. 6. 4. which yet is wholly of Mercy, in respect of us, or our deserving; but of Justice in respect of his Promises, and Christs merits, unto which is rendred and repayed that which he deserved for us. The Crown is due debt, because it is promised to us for Christs sake, not because any works of ours are able to purchase it. It's a just retribution, but withall a gift of favour. (See Leigh Crit. Sac. in foreign.)
2. With relation unto his and his peoples enemies, Deut. 32. 41. 2 Sam. 3. 39. Psal. 54. 5. & 31. 23. Prov. 26. 10. He by his justice owes them punishment for their oppression, and he will pay it.
II. Of such as reward evill for good, 2 Chr. 20. 10, 11. 1 Sam. 24. 17. Psal. 35. 12.
III. Of such as reward evill to themselves, Isa. 3. 9.
IV. Of such as shall be instrumentall in the destruction of the Churches enemies, Psal. 137. 8.
V. Of such as give a good reward for things evill done, 1 Sam. 24. 17. See Annot. on Job 21. 19. He rewardeth him; where's shewed, that this word sometimes signifieth to give a good reward for things well done, as Ruth 2. 12. 1 Sam. 24. 19. And sometimes an evil reward for evill deeds, as vers. 31. of that chap. Judg. 1. 7. 2 Sam. 3. 39. Jer. 32. 18.
To reward bounteously]
;;From God to his people, a plentifull giving of good things in stead of the evill which they deserve, as Psal. 116. 7. & 119. 17. & 142. 8. & 103. 2. 16. also, 13. 6. But from men to men it signifies recompensing evill for good, as Psal. 7. 5. Or evill for evill, Psal. 137. 8.
To reward according to works]
;;That God will reward him in whom he shall finde the undoubted sign and mark of the perfect righteousnesse which he hath by Faith in Christ, Mar. 16. 27. sor this word [according] is a note of order, and of the manner of being, rather then of the cause thereof.
