Therefore it is as suitable to the Gospel Church at least, as it was to the Jewish, to make Gods works the matter of our Sabbath praises, and to say, as Psal. 145.4, 5, 10. One generation shall praise thy works to another; and shall declare thy mighty acts: I will speak of the glorious honour of thy Majesty, and of thy wondrous works: And men shall speak of the might of thy terrible acts, and I will declare thy greatness —All thy works shall praise thee O Lord, and thy Saints shall bless thee, Psal. 26.6, 7. I will wash my hands in innocency, and so will I compass thine Altar O Lord, that I may publish with the voice of thanksgiving, and tell of all thy wondrous works, Psal. 9.12. I will praise thee O Lord with my whole heart, I will show forth all thy marvellous works.
