Is it not well with that man who hath all things go on his side, and hath nothing wanting that may do him Good? Psalm 84.11. If God sees Health or Riches Good for him, he shall have them. Every Providence shall centre in his happiness. O what an inducement is here to solid Piety. Come what times will, it shall be well with them that Fear God. When they dye they shall go to God, and while they live every thing in the world shall do them good.

10. The Fear of God is a great Cleanser, Psalm 19.9. The fear of the Lord is clean. It is so, 1. In its own nature, it is a pure, Crystal, Orient grace. 2. It is clean Effective, in the effect of it; it cleanseth the Heart and Life; as a Spring works out the mud, so it purgeth out the love of sin. The Heart is the Temple of God, and Fear sweeps and cleanseth this Temple that it be not defiled.
