As our duty towards God consisteth in three points: so Gods blessing towards us, is also three-fold answerable to the same. First, for seeking, he promiseth, he will awake unto thee. Secondly, for praying unto him, he will make the habitations of thy righteousness prosperous. Thirdly, for being pure and upright, he will make thy latter end increase exceedingly: yea, though thy beginning be but small.
