After his Preface, which is in the two first verses, He begins with lifting up of the Name of God; Because I will publish the Name of the Lord, Ascribe the Greatness unto our God. He is the Rock, his Work is perfect; for all his ways are Judgment: a God of Truth, and without Iniquity, Just and Right is he: As if he should say, Whatsoever becomes of you, yet the Name of God is Great and Glorious.—And it's a good way to convince and humble sinners, by lifting up their hearts to see the Glory of the Great God, with whom ⟨p. 4⟩they have to do, against whom they have sinned—And it was an excellent Argument of Moses's Faith when he was to die; yet he could bless himself, as it were, in God—as if he should say, Well, the Lord hath carried me through many Changes and Troubles, and many Afflictions, varieties of Conditions; and what yet God will do with his people, I know not; but this I am sure, he is a Great God, and Blessed; and he is a Rock, and his work is Perfect, and all his ways are Judgment, a God of Truth, without Iniquity, Just and Right is he: I am sure, whatsoever becomes of me, whatsoever becomes of the people; yet God is to be acknowledged, Holy, Righteous, Just, Perfect, Great and Good in all his Ways. O! 'tis good to have our heats so confirmed always in God, to keep good thoughts of God, to have God high in our thoughts and hearts, whatsoever changes o• state we meet withal in this world.
