But it may be objected; Cannot a man be profitable to God? is man no advantage, no help to him? why then (Judg. 5.23.) Sings Deborah, Curse ye Meroz, said the Angel of the Lord, ⟨p. 8⟩curse ye bitterly the inhabitants thereof, because they came not to the help of the Lord, to the help of the Lord against the mighty. It should seem then that the Lord had need of the help of these inhabitants of Meroz, and if they had come forth, it had been an advantage to him, why else were they cursed for not coming forth to the help of the Lord?

:37p. 8

I answer, man is said to help the Lord, when he helps in the Lords cause. Personally the Lord needeth not my help, but the Lord may be helped relatively, in his Cause, and in his people. Thus we help the Lord, when we help man, when we help the Church, and people of God; It is our honour as well as our duty, to help his People, and give assistance in his Cause; This the Lord takes so well at our hands, that he reckons it as help given to himself.
