In like manner, if poverty overwhelm him, or his faireft poffellions have been blasted by the firoke of divine providence, are they not infinitely more than compensated in that heavenly inheritance to which, by divine grace, he is born? --And, when death comes to diffolve the temporary and decaying tabernacle in which he had fojourned in this barren wilderness, can he be dismayed, or yield to impious fears, when he fees beyond its flood the land of promised reft, in which there is prepared for him a building of God, an house not made wiih hands, eternal in the heavens !
