And this likewise should be a comfort to poor Christians, that have not much to leave their children. I can leave my child nothing, but I shall leave him in Covenant with God: for God is my God, and always hath bin, and ever will be, he will be the God of my seed. I shall leave him Gods blessing, and a little well gotten goods that the righteous hath, is better then a great deal ill gotten, God addeth no sorrow with that. ⟨p. 161⟩There is no fearful expectation another day, as there is, of that which is ill gotten, when the father and child shall meet in hell, and curse one another, when the son shall say to the father, you ensnared your self to make me happy, and that turned to my ruin: this shall make wicked wretches curse one another one day. A poor Christian that cannot say he hath riches to leave his children, yet he can say, God is my God, and I am sure he will be their God, though I have but little to leave them else, I shall leave them Gods blessing. Good parents may hope for a blessing upon their children, because God is their God, and the God of their seed. For the sacrament, a word.
