Fourthly, Even those things that are brought about for us, by the art and 1skill of others, as well as their bounty, we are to acknowledge God the giver of them. Thus if Physicians by their art and skill have been a means to recover thee out of any disease, thou art to confess it Gods gift. It was Asa his great sin, That he relied on the Physician in his disease, more than on God. And men think themselves bound to reward the Physician, to see he hath his fee; but how little do they think to glorify God, and to give him the praises due to his name? It is the midwives care and skill that brings the child into the world: yet we have David taking notice of God, as if he alone had done it, Psal. 22. 9. Thou art he that took me from my mothers womb; Thou art my God from my mothers belly. Oh how thankfully, how humbly should we live did we consider how we are compassed about with Gods gifts? Every thing we enjoy is the gift of God.
