Religion will bring a blessing on thy estate, Job 1.10. Blessed is he that feareth the Lord, that delighteth greatly in his Commandments; For thou shalt eat the labour of thy hands; happy shalt thou be, and it shall be well with thee, Psa. 128.1, 2. It will bring a blessing on thy Children. God will be a God to thee and to thy seed after thee, Gen. 17.7. Pro. 20.7. The branches will fare the better for the sap of grace which is in the root. It will bring a blessing on thy name, Pro. 10.7. Holiness will make thy house truly honourable; It will bring a blessing on all thine affairs. In a word, that day in which Religion is set up in thy house, I may say to thee as Christ to Zacheus, This day Salvation is come to thy house.
