User-Contributed Transcription they are entitled to no promise, nor can they have a blessing sh?tly? -If their goods increase ever so much they enjoy no rational peace - In the midst of their suffering they are in straits?: they never are satisfied - their desires increase with their portion, & satisfaction flees fr them as fast as they pursue it __ A w?se follows all their blessings & they only grow fat for the day of slaughter - But says the pross? "A little that a righteous man hath is better than 2 riches of many wicked -" Better! how can this be? It is better but God giveth contentment and a good conscience with it - but the riches of many wishes will not suffer them to rest - this idol cannot give them peace, or a quiet conscience - But Godliness words crossed out
