Yesterday in the blessing of Joseph, we saw how Moses referred all things to Gods grace, which men are commonly wont to attribute unto fortune. And it is a doctrine well worthy to be marked because of our unthankfulness. For unless we be enforced to acknowledge Gods goodness, it shall always lye buried for us, and we seek things here below to busy our wits upon; in so much that when God shall have given §50us never so sufficient occasion to magnify his grace; yet do we make none account of it. Therefore it behooveth us to be warned to lift up our wits and minds aloft, that we may do homage unto God, for all the benefits which we receive at his hand. Also we have to mark herein the thing that is set down by Moses. He sayeth that all the good which Joseph and all his whole Image shall have, shall come of the free favour of him which dwelt in the bush.
