They are real things and have real effects. The blessings are here put before the curses. God is slow to anger, but swift to show mercy. It is his delight to bless. It is better that we should be drawn to what is good by a child-like hope of God's favour, than that we be frightened to it by a slavish fear of his wrath.

Let them keep up religion, the form and power of it, in their families and nation, then the providence of God would prosper all their outward concerns.
