God hath a peculiar blessing for his children. [ 675]

ALL the sons of Iacob returned laden from Aegypt,* 1.1 with corn and mony in their sacks, onely Benjamin had the Cup in the mouth of his sack, as a singu∣lar pledge of his brother Iosephs favour.* 1.2 Thus many there are in the world, that rejoyce for the corn, and the wine, and the oyle, that have encreased in the quick∣nesse of their Trade, in the largenesse of their Incomes, in the greatnesse of their Revenewes: O! but the light of Gods countenance, Benjamins cup, whether it be Scya∣thum gratiae, a cup of grace, with St. Ambrose; or calicem benedictionis, a cup of blessing, with the Apostle; this silver-cup, this grace-cup, is the portion of none but Benjamin, it is reserved onely for Benjamin, for the sons of God, and the children of his right hand, that grow and flourish under the wing and shadow of his protection.
