A woman may break the bonds of nature, but God will never break the bonds of his own free-grace. May not all this raise us into Davids rapture of holy admiration, Psal. 8. Lord, what is man that thou art mindful of him, and the sonn• of man, that thou visitest him with such remembrances? What is a wicked man, that God should give him bread to eat, and clothes to put on? And what is a godly man that God should give him Christ to eat, and clothe himself withal? That, God should remember us is a wonder of mercy; but what a wonder of unthankfulness is it, that we should not remember God? What, or who is God, that man should be so mindless of him? Is not God worthy of all our remembrance? Is it loss of time to call God into our thoughts? Do we ever, or in any thing remember our selves so much, as when we remember God most? It is a wonderful favour that God should be mindful of us at all; and is it not a wonderful sin, that man should be so unmindful of God?
