No path doth lead to true prosperity in earth, but that which doth tend to happiness in heaven. If we walk in this way, we have the promises for us, as he saith; The reward of humility, and the fear of God, is riches, and glory, and life. If we wander out of1 this way we have the threatenings against us, as he telleth the wicked by the Prophet: I spake and ye heard not, but did evil in my sight, and did choose that thing which I would not. Therefore thus saith the Lord God, Behold my servants shall eat, and ye shall be 2hungry: behold my servants shall drink, and ye shall be thirsty: behold my servants shall rejoice, and ye shall be ashamed.
No path doth lead to true prosperity in earth, but that which doth tend to happinesse in heauen. If we walke in this way, we haue the promises for vs, as he saith; The reward of humilitie, and the feare of God, is riches, and glorie, and life. If we wander out of1 this way we haue the threatnings against vs, as he telleth the wicked by the Prophet: I spake and ye heard not, but did euill in my sight, and did chuse that thing which I would not. Therefore thus saith the Lord God, Behold my seruants shall eate, and ye shall be 2hungrie: behold my seruants shall drinke, and ye shall be thirstie: behold my seruants shall reioice, and ye shall be ashamed.
