It would be: "A good man's prayers are golden recompense! ...Yea, they are the current gold coin of the New Jerusalem." A metaphor is a comparison between two things which does not use words such as "like" or "as" (which you would see in a simile) - often the phrasing is structured so that the first thing "is" the second thing (ex. "life is a highway," "love is a river" etc.).

In this metaphor, prayers = golden recompense. In the section from the text, Chillingworth compares prayers to "golden recompense" because he wants to suggest that praying will have rewards that are as valuable as gold coins.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
