shall moreouer safely and quietly inhabit that countrie, into the which it shall by God be called backe againe. The fou••••h be∣nefit, They shall liue with corne. Therefore they shall not onely dwell safely: but they shall liue also commodiously, and they shall there be nourished or fed by GOD with very good meate. Psal. 23. and Psal. 81. ver. 16. God telleth the Israelites how he would haue main∣tained and nourished them, if they had walked in his wayes, say∣ing: And God would haue fed them with the fat of wheate, and with honie out of the rocke would I haue sufficed thee. This plentie & store of sustenance to liue withall, is also a blessing of God toward those that are his, and a fruite of godlinesse. For faith hath the promises of this life present, and also of the life to come, sayth Paul. 1. Tim. 4. ver. 8. And therefore Dauid Psal. 31. ver. 19. in admiration or won∣dring at the kindnes of God in prouiding for those that doe feare him, sayth: How great is thy goodnesse, which thou hast layd vp for them that feare thee? and done to them that trust in thee, euen before the sonnes of men? The fift benefit, The floure, that is, the strength and liuelines of this people, and their remembrance shall be hap∣pie. As for their strength and liuelines it shall bee as the vine, the which, at what time it floureth, is of, so fresh a smell, and so liuely a state, that not onely the vineyard it selfe, that is, the place in which the vine is planted, smelleth most sweetly, and is filled with this sa∣uour: but also the whole quarter that is neere vnto it, in so much that if there bee any serpents in those places, they are chased and driuen away with the smell of the vine: so wholsome and liuely is the force and strength of the vine. So the floure and strength of those godly, especially of the Israelites (when as by the preaching of the Gospell they shall be conuerted vnto Christ) shall be sweete, and neuerthelesse firme and strong, that they may endure lustie a long season, like as was the most fragrant & liuely smell of the gar∣ments of Iaacob, which when Isaac smelled, he blessed him, & said: Behold, the smell of my sonne is as the smell of a field, which the Lord hath blessed Gen. 27. ver. 27. Their remembrance also (or sent) shall be most pleasant vnto all men, as is the smell of vines, or wine of Li∣banus, that is, it shall continue most long and neuer be forgotten, as Dauid also speaketh of the remembrance of the godly Psalm. 112. ver. 6 Surely he shall neuer be moued: but the righteous shall be had in euerlasting remembrance. For the kinde of wine here spoken of is most excellent and most strong, yet of most pleasant smell, the which of Plinius lib. 14. Histor. Natural. cap. 7. is called Tyrian or
