2. To this duty of praising God, is not only required These general acts 1of faith whereby we own him for the Jehovah, and the Creator of Heaven and Earth; but also those particular Acts, whereby we do apply and appropriate him as our God in particular. For it is this particular applying Act of faith that maketh the heart full of praise and thanksgiving. Therefore you may observe David in his Psalms, not only calling God a buckler, a refuge, a strong tower, but his buckler, his strong tower, his God. Neither can we be thankful in spiritual mercies, about pardon of sin, support in temptations, till with Paul, Gal. 2, we say, Who loved us, and gave himself for us; and this is one reason why we urge the People to take heed of diffidence, not to give way to distrust and doubtful perplexities of soul, because while these are predominant, they cannot walk thankfully and give the glory, that is due, to him.
