7. The fear of God makes a little to be sweet, Prov. 15.16. Better is a little with the fear of the Lord. Why is a little better? because that little a Believer hath he holds in Capite, in his Head Christ; that little is sweetened with the love of God. He hath with that little a contented mind; and contentment turns Daniels Pulse into Venison*. Again, that little is a Pledge of more; that little Oil in the Cruse is but an earnest of that Golden joy and bliss which the Soul shall have in Heaven. Thus a little with the Fear of God is better than all unsanctified riches. Lazarus's Crumbs were better than Dives his Banquet.
