SECT. IX.
V. The Fifth and last Use is for Consolation 1to all upright ones. You are blessed men in the mouth both of Law and Gospel, Psal. 119. 1. Blessed are the undefiled in the way, that walk in the Law of the Lord. Mat. 5. 8. Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God. You may be crossed by men, but you shall be blest by God: you may not see the desire of your hearts in this life, but you shall see God in life everlasting: you may live poor, but you shall dye rich. Prov. 19. 1. Better is the poor, that walketh in his integrity; than he that is perverse in his lips, ⟨p. 168⟩and is a fool. He that's poor in his wealth, but rich in his integrity, hath coin that will pass in the other world. Uprightness and Blessedness are inseparable companions.
