If all this cannot satisfy you, then know, that as God hath the command of all 1creature good and comforts, so he hath engaged himself unto you to settle that kind of good upon you. Though the earth, and the things of the earth, be not your only portion, and be not your best portion, yet it is a part of your portion, Psal. 37. 22. Such as be blessed of him shall inherit the earth, verse 29. The righteous shall inherit the land: He will not suffer the righteous to want: he watches over you to do you good.
