Sect 4. The consideration of Gods workes.

The fourth consideration concerning God, is of his works: for as David saith,^c The works of the Lord are great, and ought to be sought out of all that love him. This consideration bindeth us to enquire, and search what be the works of God toward us; his work of creation, his providence, preservation, with all other his works of mercy and Justice in us, and upon us: whether ordinary: or extraordinary: The prophet^d Isay denounceth a woe against those that had the harp, and ⟨p. 206⟩viol, Timbrel and Pipe, and wine in their feasts, and regarded not the work of God, nor considered the work of his hands; whereby we may see that the neglect hereof, is a grievous sin, and yet it is the common sin of this age.
