I do not know any one outward blessing, but God hath promised it to his people; length of days, and riches, and honour and peace, Prov. 3. 16, 17. Food, and raiment, and liberty, and safety, and friends, and children, the former, and the latter rain, &c. Josephs blessing from Jacob is their portion, Gen. 49. 25. The God of thy Father shall help thee, and the Almighty shall bless thee with the blessings of heaven above, blessings of the deep that lieth under, with blessings of the breast, and of the womb. 1 Tim 4. 8. Godliness is profitable unto all things, having the promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.
