And it is laying up a Foundation, a way to make our uncertain riches asure and stable, that whereas other riches take unto them wings and fly away, those which are thus laid out, are laid up, as safe, as unmoveable as the Stones of a Foundation, as the bottom of a Rock. A Foundation not by way of merit towards God, but by way of evidence in regard of our selves, as Testimonies of our reconciliation and peace with God. A Learned Writer bmakes [Greek or Hebrew] to answer to the Hebrew [Greek or Hebrew], which is the Bond or Instrument, securing to a Creditor the money which ⟨p. 46⟩he hath lent. [Greek or Hebrew] is Bona nomina facere; God becomes surety for the poor to repay us there, where neither rust, nor moth, nor thief can enter.
