What shall I say brethren? (all the promises which you know) are the treasures of heaven, the cabinets of our comfort, the store-house of our wants, the hand which holds and delivers out all our supplies, why? all of them do (as it were) beset and encompass the upright person, art thou an upright person, and looks upon thy family? Prov. 14. 11. The tabernacle of the upright shall flourish, art thou an upright person, and castest an eye up to thy posterity? why? Psal. 112. 2. The generation of the upright shall be blessed, Art thou an upright person, and desirest such or such a necessary outward comfort? why? Psal. 37. 4. Delight thy self in the Lord, and he shall give thee the desires of thy heart: Art thou an upright person; and suspectest the continuation of thy outward estate? why? Ps. 37. 18. The days of the upright and their inheritance shall be for ever? Art thou an upright person? and thy comforts seem a while to be clouded, Neither cannest thou espy, any one hopeful crevice or future joy? why? Psa. 112. 4. Unto the upright their ariseth light in the darkness; and Psal. 97. 11. Light is sown for the righteous: and Joy for the upright in heart? Art thou an upright person, and knowest not how to break through the manifold fortifications, and strengthen of envy or power? why? The Lord will bring forth thy righteousness as the light, Psal. 37. 6. what can keep down the rising of the sun? And the eyes of the Lord run to and fro through all the whole earth to show himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect towards him, 2 Chron. 16. 9.1
