Secondly, we should learn of these things how to serve God, they keep their seasons, and they return not to Heaven again, but do the work God sent them for, Isaiah 55. 10. Luk. 12. 56. Mat. 16. 2, 3.

3 We should be wonderful thankful to God even for these blessings of Heaven. They were wont in the first ages of the world, to think they had cause to praise God for the very dew of Heaven, Gen. 25. 28, 39. Deut. 33. 13, 28. We are exhorted to sing praise to God, who covereth the Heaven with Clouds, and prepareth rain for the Earth, Psal. 147. 7, 8. Men use to give a great deal of money to buy a little land, and yet cannot praise him that gives them what is more worth then that they buy; for it is God that giveth the dew, and the snow, and the rain, and so the Grass and the Corn, without which the Land were worth nothing.
