§. 42. Of applying to our selves Gods dealing with others.
IIII. *Due observation of Gods mercy to others maketh men in like cases to acknowledge Gods mercy to them. This was it that moved the Prophet to say, that when he was brought low, the Lord saved him, because he had duly observed how the Lord preserved the simple. Well note the forms of praise that are recorded in Scripture, and you shall find it usual with the Saints to relate Gods accustomed dealing with others to be such as it was with them. To omit the many Psalms of David that are pertinent to this purpose, 2the two hymns of Annah, and the Virgin Mary give good proof hereof.
