Secondly, As it is pleasant and delightful, so it is a profitable good: Behold how good a thing it is, it is very profitable. ⟨p. 109⟩For is it not profitable for the dew to fall upon Hermon, and upon the hills of Zion, to make them fruitful? Why, such is the dew of holy agreement, when it falls upon the hearts of men: And this doth make men increase, and multiply in the Church, and to be fruitful in good works; the Psalmist saith, God commandeth his blessing; and when God blesseth, we shall certainly increase and multiply; and this I say did increase the Church, and hereby are the Saints both increased and delighted by the blessing of God on them, they do increase in things that are good, and profitable; and this was the thing which Christ prayed for, yea prayed for again and again; yea as I said it is the great thing which Christ hath commanded: A new command, &c. Is it not therefore good and profitable to love one another?
