This verse holds out to us the great Charter of God to man, consisting of three royal grants. First, Life. Secondly, Favour. Thirdly, Visitation. The bounty of God appears much in granting life, more in granting favour, most of all in his grant of gracious visitations. Thou hast granted me life, &c.

1The letter of the Hebrew is, Thou hast made, or fitted for me life and favour. The soul is the ornament of the body, life the lustre of our clay. Thou hast not thrown or huddled my life into my body, Thou hast put it in exquisitely and orderly. The frame of the body is an exquisite frame, but the frame, the faculties and powers, the actings and motions of the soul are far more exquisite. The inhabitant is more noble then the house, and the jewel then the cabinet. As the life is better then meat, and the body then (artificial) raiment (Mat. 6.25.) So the life is better then the body, which is to it a natural raiment.
