305. While others fret at the prosperity of the wicked, and are envious at the foolish, because they abound in goods; my prayer for them shall be this, much good may they do with it, and much good may it do them; the first is the duty, the next is the blessing; if the duty be not done, the blessing will not come. If they do not do good, 'twill do them no good. For not what one hath, but what one doth with what one hath, maketh happy or miserable.

306. Some men can say, as Esau; I have enough, or rather as 'tis in the Hebrew, I have much; but few can say, as Jacob, I have enough, or (as 'tis in the Hebrew) I have all, or God is all to me, he is mine all. He hath not enough how much ⟨p. 137⟩soever he hath, that hath not God for his portion; and he that hath God for his portion, hath enough, how little soever he hath. 'Tis not happy are the people that are in such (a plentiful) case, but happy are the people whose God is the Lord.
