What good will come of this?
God will wait to do thee that good, for which thou shalt praise him; he will deal so graciously with thee, as he will deserve thy praise, he will show thee his salvation. And new favours will stir thee up to sing new songs: every new recovery of our selves or friends, is as it were a new life, and ministers new matter of praise. And upon offering this sacrifice of praise, the heart is further enlarged to pray for fresh blessings. We are never fitter to pray, then after praise.

But in the mean time I hang down my head, whilst mine enemies carry themselves highly, and my friends stand aloof.
But in the meane time I hang down my head, whilest mine enemies carie themselves highly, and my friends stand aloofe.
