Great reason hath man to bless God▪ 1. For God is blessedness it self,1 ⟨p. 30⟩and whether should the water run but into the sea, from whence it is originally taken. 2. Besides the Lord hath required our praise, as the chief means of eglorifying him: 3. And thirdly he hath blessed us, and therefore we have great reason to bless him. He hath blessed us in the creatures: blessed the work of our hands: blessed the fruits of our loins: blessed us in his Son: blessed us by his Angels: blessed us by his Ministers: blessed us in the blessings of the Gospel, and blessed us in the fruits of the earth: blessed us in his house, and in our own houses: blessed us in our Sabbaths, Sacraments, the Word, Prayer, &c. blessed us in our souls, bodies, states, names, &c.
