1. Life is more than Meat, and the Body than Raiment, ver. 25. Deus donando debet; God by giving, is become a Debtor. Life, without any Aid of ours, is a Pledge of more Mercy. God provided us two Bottles of Milk when we were new born; Psal. 22.9, 10. Thou art he that took me out of the Womb; thou didst make me hope, when I was upon my Mother's Breast. I was cast upon thee from the Womb; thou art my God from my Mother's Belly. Who formed us, and suckled us, and continued us hitherto? We are unthankful to God, if we ascribe it to our selves.

2. Consider God's Providence to other Creatures: God feeds the Fowls; Matth. 6.26. Behold the Fowls of the Air, for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into Barns; yet your Heavenly Father feedeth them: Are not ye better than they? God paints the Lilies, ver. 28, 29. Consider the Lilies of the Field how they grow, they toil not, neither do they spin: and yet I say unto you, that Solomon in all his Glory was not arrayed like one of these. Luke instances in the Raven, which is Animal cibi rapacissimum, a Creature ravenous of Food; chap. 12.34. Consider the Ravens, for they neither sow nor reap, which neither have Store-house nor Barn, and God feedeth them. The Raven is a Bird of Providence;
