Now in this Thanksgiving passage, we may observe,
1. The praise it self, expressed in that word [Greek or Hebrew], Blessed. 2. The Object of it, God, which is, 1. Illustrated from his relative title to Christ, The Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. 2. From his Efficiency, which is two-fold, The Father of mercies. 2. The God of all comfort.
1. The praise it self, expressed in that word 〈non-Latin alphabet〉, Blessed. 2. The Object of it, God, which is, 1. Illustrated from his relative title to Christ, The Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. 2. From his Efficiency, which is two-fold, The Father of mercies. 2. The God of all comfort.
So that this Text doth represent God in a most sweet, comfortable and ravishing relation to us. The Apostle stands (as it were) here upon Mount Gerizzim, to bless the people of God, we may here stand and see (as it were) the glory of God pass by. It is not the God of all vengeance and fury; It's not the God terrible in his judgements, that will not in any wise acquit the guilty, but the Father of mercies, and the God of all consolation. Let then the troubled and grieved soul, who looketh always upon God as angry, as ready to destroy, bring with the widow its cruises, and fill them with the pleasant oil, that will run out of this Text. Certainly, if David say of Gods word in general, That it's sweeter than the honey or the honey-comb, much more is it applicable to this verse.
