It is the Blessing of Gods Right hand. 1Prou. 3. Length of days is in her Right hand; and in her Left hand Riches and Honour; saith Solomon of Wisdom, he meant it of Christ. This Light shall procure to a man blessed eternity. All those blessings of the Left hand, as Riches and Honour, are frail and mortal: Nothing lasts long in this World, except a suit at Law. But this Light, if our selves fault not, shall out-shine for countenance, and out-last for continuance, the Sun in the Firmament.

This is the God of Lights, 3That had the seven Stars in his Right hand. This Light must enlighten us to some duties.
