2. You may do abundance of good: many souls will bless God for you, and for all the abundance you enjoy, of which there is so good an improvement. Blessed be God that ever such men lived in such places and times; the Cause of God, and the good of his Saints, how hath it been promoted by them! will not this be a greater good to you, then all your titles of honour, and bravery of your lives? Judges 5.9. My heart is towards the governors of the people which offer themselves willingly: Bless ye the Lord. Because of the great service that a rich man may do, Paul was so moved, when he had liked to have lost Sergius Paulus, the Deputy of the country, Act. 13.7, 8. &c. he set his eyes upon Elimas, who sought to turn him away from the faith, which he began to hearken after and embrace, and said, Oh full of all subtlety and all mischief, thou child of the devil, thou enemy of all righteousness, wilt thou not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord?
