Every man naturally would have (if it were possible) his name immortal, now there's no way in the world to have your names immortal, like this of growing rich in grace. A man that's spiritually rich, shall live, and his name shall live, when he is dead. In Nehem. 7. 2. 'tis said of Hannaniah, that he was a faithful man, and feared God above many: Or, He feared God above multitudes, as the Hebrew hath it.
