So shall good come unto thee. There was never any man a looser by acquaintance with God; Gods acquaintance is a gainful acquaintance; Our acquaintance with God, should we consider it abstractly and separate from all benefit but his very acquaintance, yet that is benefit enough; God is the chiefest Good, and therefore when we enjoy him, we enjoy all Good. The enjoyment of God himself is infinitely more then the enjoyment of all created good things that come from God. Friends are sometimes in those heights of friendship and nobleness of spirit one to another, that they count the enjoyment of one another to be more then all the benefits they can heap upon or reap by one another; it is your good Company, saith such a friend, and your acquaintance that delights me more then all the good you can bestow upon me. And is not God much more so to us? Thus (I say) acquaintance with God alone is all good; but besides (as the point leads us to consider) God gives out good things from himself, to all his holy acquaintants, temporal or bodily, good comes to us by his acquaintance, and so also (and that chiefly) doth spiritual or soul good. Acquaint thy self with God, and the dues of grace, showers of the Spirit shall fall into thy bosom. Acquaint thy self with God, and spiritual Comfort shall flow in unto thee, spiritual strength shall flow in unto thee, thy soul shall be filled as with marrow and fatness. And as good shall come to thee in person, so to thine; to thy family and posterity good shall come. And as God will cause good to come to such, so to stay and abide with them. As good comes, so good continues according to the command and commission which it hath from God. Thus he promised in the Prophet (
