1. In his Works. Herein God doth discover to us his wonderful greatness, Job 36. 24. 25. Remember that thou Magnify his work which men behold. Every man may see it, man may behold it afar off. Man may see afar off if he d• but cast his eye as he runs, what a great God that is that made all the world. If we do but cast our eyes upon the Fabric of the world that he hath made; if we look down-ward, and see how every creature serveth its end that it was made for: if we see how the earth hangs upon nothing; if we are in our wits what should we do but praise whatever we are doing? whether ploughing, or eating, &c. this Hymn is to be sung to him, It was he that gave me strength to work, and appetite to eat, Psal. 19. 1, 2. The heavens declare the glory of God, and the firmament showeth his handy work; day unto day uttereth speech, &c. Every day cloth preach to us this Doctrine, what a great, wise, good, glorious God he is, who doth order every season, and their occurrences, Rom. 1. 20. Dost thou find thy heart begin to be listed ⟨p. 281⟩up with pride? Do•t thou begin to forget thy maker? Do but behold his Works; see if thou canst do any such thing: say, let there be light, and see whether there will be light. Try whether thou canst bring forth such a thing as this. This doth God demand of Job, Chap. 38. But if man cannot come near any of these works of God, then let him adore his power and greatness, and subject himself to him.
