Civil goods are owed to providence, and God sometimes rewards them in time
Thesis X. In the Protestants' view, then, many things that are civilly good and upright can be done by man in the state of sin and without the grace of Christ, and they deserve to be ascribed to a singular efficacy of divine providence. Such acts make those in whom they are found less bad, and among men they can be judged praiseworthy. Indeed, God sometimes rewards things of this kind with some temporal reward.
'In this way,' says Alexander Morus, 'he shows how much truly good things please him, since he does not let even that faint shadow of goodness go unrewarded. Then he acts so as to make it an example, inviting the rest to do better.
Moreover, if all the godly prospered in this world, men would hardly look for the judgement to come. So when they sometimes see plainly that things go better for those who have some concern for godliness, they are reminded of the providence of God. Finally, God measures out a temporal reward in proportion to the goodness that shines in the work. He repays outward virtue with short-lived and passing goods, he who has appointed a heavenly and eternal kingdom for the spiritual course' (the disputation already cited, thesis 45).
Latin
X. Ex Protestantium igitur sententia, ab homine in statu peccati, & sine gratia Christi multa fieri possunt civiliter bona & honesta, quae singulari cuidam efficacitati divinae providentiae tribui merentur. Et ista quidem talia sunt, ut minus malos reddant eos in quibus reperiuntur, & apud homines laude digna censeri possint. Imo quae sunt ejusmodi Deus interdum aliquo temporali praemio remuneratur. Sic nempe, inquit Alexander Morus, quam sibi placeant vere bona significat, quum illam tenuem bonitatis umbram indonatam abire non patitur. Deinde ad exemplum ita se comparat, ut caeteri ad meliorem frugem invitentur. Ac insuper quemadmodum, si omnes pii florerent in hoc seculo, vix homines judicium futurum expectarent: ita quum aliquando certe vident iis esse melius qui aliqua pietatis cura tanguntur, de providentia numinis admonentur. Denique pro ratione bonitatis quae fulget in opere, Deus praemium temporale admetitur: & curta fluxaque bona rependit externae virtuti, qui cursui spirituali coeleste ac aeternum Regnum constituit.
