2. See that you be more in praises to ⟨p. 107⟩1God then you have been. Those mercies that thou hast won by prayer, are to be worn by thankfulness, Psal. 145. 10. All thy 2works praise thee, O Lord, and thy Saints do bless thee. All Gods works do praise him; The heavens declare the glory of God, and the firmament showeth his handy work. That is, they are all the passive monuments of Gods power in creating them: But the Saints they are agents in praising God. Blessing is more then praising: A picture praiseth him that made it; but it doth not bless him. The Saints, they bless God in a peculiar manner; their mouths are full of the praises of God: They have a principle within them of praising God; they are agents in setting forth his praise. And therefore it is very fit that you should bless God.
