Who would not reverence this great God? what miscreant wretches are they that inure their tongues to swearing to tear that Majesty, that if he should withdraw his deliverance and protection from them, what would become of them?
Where there is perpetual dependence upon any man, how doth it enforce reverence and respect even amongst men? It is Atheism therefore for men to inure their tongues to speak cursed language, to inure their hearts to entertain profane thoughts of God, and to neglect the consideration of his Majesty. Holy men in Scripture are said to walk with God, that is, to have God in their eye, in all times, in all places, as he had them in his eye, to delight in them, to prevent troubles, and to deliver them from troubles when they were in them.

We should take notice of Gods special providence in this kind, that God by deliverance often gives us our lives, and it should teach us to consecrate our lives to God. Who doth deliver us: In whom we hope, or trust, or have affiance that he will yet deliver us.
