The divine life in three treatises

Nay it is not your selves alone, but all the world that depends on God. It is his power that supporteth them, and his will that disposeth of them, and his bounty that provideth for them: And therefore he must be the observation and admiration of the world: It is less unreasonable to take no notice of the Earth that beareth us and yieldeth us fruit, and of the Sun that yields us heat and light, than to disregard the Lord that is more to us than Sun and Earth, and all things. The eyes of all things wait on him; and he giveth them their meat in season: He openeth his hand and satisfieth the desire of every living thing, Psal. 145. 15, 16. The Lord is good to all, and his tender mercies are over all his works: All his works therefore shall praise him, and his Saints shall bless him: They shall speak of the glory of his Kingdom, and talk of his power, vers. 10, 11.

Moreover God is so abundantly and wonderfully represented to us in all his works, as will leave us under the guilt of most unexcusable contempt, if we overlook him, and live as without him in the world. The Heavens declare the glory of God, and the firmament showeth his handy work: Day unto day uttereth speech; and night unto night showeth knowledge, Psa. 19. 1, 2. ⟨p. 192⟩Thus that which may be known of God is manifest; for the invisible things of him from the Creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that the ungodly are without excuse, Rom. 1. 19, 20. Cannot you see that which all the world revealeth? nor hear that which all the world proclaimeth? O sing ye forth the honour of his name: make his praise glorious! Say to the Lord, How terrible art thou in thy works! through the greatness of thy power shall thine enemies submit themselves unto thee: All the earth shall worship thee, and shall sing unto thee: they shall sing unto thy name: come and see the works of God: he is terrible in his doings towards the children of men,
