5. Blessed in his negotiations, Deut. 15. 10. For this thing the Lord thy God shall bless thee in all thy works, and in all that thou puttest thine hand unto. The Charitable man shall be blessed in his building, planting, journeying; whatever he is about, a blessing shall empty it self upon him. ⟨p. 56⟩Quicquid calcaverit rosa fiet.—He shall be a prosperous man. The honey-comb of a blessing shall be still dropping upon him.

6. Blessed with long life, Psal. 41. 2. The Lord will preserve him and keep him alive. *He hath helped to keep others alive, and God will keep him alive; Is there any thing then lost by Charity? It spins out the silver thread of life. Many are taken away the sooner for their unmercifulness; because their hearts are straitened, their lives are shortened.
