15. There are excellent Promises ⟨p. 43⟩made to them that Fear God, Malach. 4.2. Unto you that Fear my Name, shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his Wings. Here is a promise of Christ; he is a Sun for Light and Vivifical Influence; and a Sun of Righteousness, as he diffuseth the Golden beams of Justification*. And he hath healing in his Wings; the Sun heals the Air, dries up the Cold moistures, exhales the Vapours which would be Pestilential; so Christ hath healing in his Wings, he heals the hardness and impurity of the Soul. And the Horizon in which this Sun ariseth, is in hearts Fearing God. To you that Fear my Name, shall the Sun of righteousness arise. And, there is another Great Promise, Psalm 115.13. He will bless them that Fear the Lord, both Small and Great. God blesseth such in their Name, Estate, Souls. And this blessing can never be reversed: As Isaac said, I have blessed him, and he shall be blessed, Gen. 27.33. Such as Fear God are privileged Persons, none can take away from them either their birth-right, or their blessing.
