And that we may be provoked humbly to magnify, and for ever deterred from that proud attempt of finding fault with, or mending the work of God, consider these three things;
First, Take the argument in the text, the plainness of the work of God, it is such as may be seen afar off, none can pretend ignorance of it, or if they do, that's a vain covert, or excuse; every man may see it, man may behold it afar off, as most worthy to be magnified.
Secondly, If we do not magnify the work of God, God will lessen his own works of mercy and favour toward us.
Secondly, If we do not magnifie the work of God, God will lessen his own works of mercy and favour toward us.
Thirdly, He will do no more for us if we magnify not what he hath done. It is said (Math. 13.58.) Christ did not many mighty works there, because of their unbelief. God will do no more mighty works for them, who refuse or neglect to pay him a tribute of praise and glory for what he hath done.
