[ 543] A Blessed thing to have God for our Lord.

IT is an usual saying, He cannot likely want Money that is Master of the Mint; and he can never be poor that hath my Lord Mayor for his Uncle:* 1.1 Much lesse then can that man want ought, that is good, who is possessed of God, who is Lord of lords, and King of kings, the very fountain of all good; In regard whereof, David having prayed for many temporall blessings in the behalfe of his people, that their Sons might be tall and hardy, like goodly young Cedaers, &c. Psalm 144. At last he winds up all with this Epiphonema or conclusion, Blessed be the people that are in such a case, v. 15. but on the neck of it, he cometh as with an Epanorthoma, or a Correction of his former speech, yea rather blessed are the people that have Jehovah for their God, that have the Lord for their portion.
