3. Great is the benefit of pleasing God, even as to men; and this Solomon sets before you, Prov. 16. 7. When a mans ways please the Lord, he maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him; and he hath such another expression, Prov. 22. 11. He that loveth pureness of heart, the King shall be his Friend: the meaning of this Scripture is this, When we keep close to God, and walk in compliance with his will, and make it our great design to please him, He will give us to find favour in the eyes of men: He that maketh God his Friend, God will make that mans Enemies to be his Friends. Men are possibly full of anger, revenge, and exasperation: be it so; do you desire to please God▪ God can turn their hearts towards you; God can sweeten them in their spirits, and take away that venom that is in them: so you know he did in the case of Esau to his Brother Jacob.
