To him be glory and dominion, for evermore, Amen. These words are a thanks-giving to God for the former benefits of Christ bestowed on his church: Which S. John putteth in before he have ended his record of the gracious works of Christ for his church, as it were interrupting himself, for the great desire he had to the glory of God. Whereby we are taught, that the consideration of Gods benefits towards us, specially such as concern the kingdom of heaven, should stir up our hearts to give continual praise and glory to God. This was Davids affection, when he felt in his soul the pardon of his sins, and therefore he breaks out into this thanksgiving▪ My soul praise thou the Lord, and forget not all his benefits, Psalm 103.•. And so did Paul, after the blessed memory of Gods mercy in his vocation. 1. Tim. 1.17.
