Psalm 128:5-6 The LORD shall bless you out of Zion: and you shall see the good of Jerusalem all the days of your life.… 1. What measure soever of things temporal the Lord shall give to the man that feareth Him, He reserveth unto him all the promises of righteousness and life which the Lord's Word holdeth forth to the Church, and of those he shall be sure. 2. The godly man shall not want succession, if God see it good for him, or if not children of his body, yet followers of his faith and footsteps in piety, whom he hath been instrumental to convert. 3. Whatsoever estate the Church of God be in during the godly man's life-time, he shall behold in the mirror of the Lord's Word, and in the sensible feeling of his own experience, he shall perceive and take up the blessed condition of the true Church of God, and rejoice therein all his days.
