25. David lived under a dispensation more outward and of this world than
the present rule of personal faith. Never are the righteous forsaken. Seldom
indeed do their children beg bread; and although it does occasionally occur,
through dissipation, idleness, or some such causes, yet doubtless it is so rare
a thing that there are many alive who never saw it. Poor ministers’ sons often
become rich. I am not old, but I have seen the families of the poor godly
become rich, and have seen the Lord reward the faithfulness of the father in
the success of the son, so that I have often thought that the best way to endow
one’s seed with wealth is to become poor for Christ’s sake.
