You know how pleasing in our eyes the actions of our Children are when we know that they do what they do, even of a reverent fear and awe of us; yea though that which they do amounts but to little, we take it well at their hands, and are pleased therewith. The woman that cast in her two mites into the Treasury, cast in not much, for they both did but make one farthing, Mark. 12.40, 41, 42, 43. Yet how doth the Lord Jesus trumpet her up, he had pleasure in her, and in her action. This therefore, that the Lord taketh pleasure in them that fear him, is another of their great privileges.

Twelfthly, Dost thou fear God? The least dram of that fear giveth the privilege to be blessed with the biggest Saint. He will bless them that fear the Lord SMALL & GREAT, Psal. 115.13.
