And as God will defend them, so he will put a Glory upon them, and maintain their Glory, 1 Sam. 3.30. Them that Honour me I will Honour. He is resolved upon it. Those Persons that Honour him by the Holiness of their walking. Those Professors that Honour him by owning him and his Truths and ways in times of furious Opposition and Persecution, and those Rulers that Honour him by a faithful Execution of Justice, punishing those that dishonour him, them God will Honour, and He will make them great and honourable in the eyes of others. Their Government shall be highly commended, their Persons shall be greatly esteemed, and their Memory shall be blessed, whereas in the same place He tell us, they that despise him shall be lightly esteemed, not only by himself but by all.

Yea and God will see to it, that things shall go well with them, as he said, when speaking to Jehojachin that wicked Son of famous Josiah, Jer. 22.15. Did not thy Father eat and drink, and do Judgment and Justice, and then it was well with him? He began to Reign betimes, when he was very young. But he began and went on well, He was a Religious, Gracious and Righteous Prince, in his days Religion was in it's Beauty, and the Righteous did flourish, and it was well with him, good for him, he tasted the sweetness of it, and reaped the advantage. He did eat and drink, not to gluttony and drunkenness, as is the fashion of too many, but he did Reign in Peace and Plenty. God furnished his Table and filled his Cup. The Lord blest him, so that there was nothing wanting to the Comfort of his Life, or the supporting of his Royal State. He was not negligent in his duty, nor God sparing of his Mercy and Kindness to him. Thus I have given many Reasons why Magistrates should be careful to suppress profaneness.
