And who those are that are stablished; Us with you.
To make now some Application of all.
If it be God that stablisheth us, let us make this Use of it; Let God 1have the glory of our stablishing. If we have it in dependence upon God by Prayer, let us return all by praise, and thanksgiving: all comes of his mere grace, let all return to his mere glory; Not unto us, but unto thy Name give the praise. It is the song of the Church on earth, and the song of the Church triumphant in heaven, that all glory be to God in all the whole carriage of salvation. The promises are his, stablishing is his, that he would make a Covenant it is his, that he will perform his Covenant to us it is his; that he will enable us to perform the Covenant, it is by his strength, all is his: therefore both the Church here, and the Church in heaven, our song should be, Great, and gracious, and merciful is the true God, that is so gracious, and righteous in all his promises.
