Let God have the glory of all his mercies; let us say with David, Not unto us O Lord, not unto us, but unto thy name we give the praise: Not unto us, because not by us; let us give the praise, and the whole praise to God: The nature of man is wonderful prone to sacrifice to his own net, and to ascribe the glory of deliverances to himself; Nebuchadnez z•r spake and said, Is not this great Babel that I have built, by the might of my power, and for the honour of my Majesty? and Moses himself spake unadvisedly 1with his lips, when he said, Shall we bring water out of this Rock, &c? as if he had done it by his own power: and therefore let us take heed of this sin. There are two things in every mercy.
