He that is good, must needs both think, and speak good of God. David doth often aggravate the wickedness of his enemies, from the language of their hearts and tongues, (Psal. 10.11.) He hath said in his heart, God hath forgotten, he hides his face, he will never see. And again (Psal. 144.7, 8, 11.) Send thy hand from above, rid me and deliver me out of great waters, from the hands of strange children, whose mouth speaketh vanity, and their right hand, is a right hand of falsehood. If the mouth speaketh vanity, the hand is full of falsehood; we may even feel deceit in their hands, whose mouths speak any kind of vanity, but especially this, which is the vainest vanity of all, How doth God know? or surely God doth not know. Such the Psalmist rebukes (Psal. 94.4, 5.7.) How long shall they utter and speak hard things? What things were those? The next words show us; They break in pieces thy people, &c. yet they say, the Lord shall not see, &c. understand ye brutish, among the people, he that formed the eye, shall he not see? There is no greater argument of brutishness and ignorance, then to question the knowledge of God; or to say, How doth God know?
He that is good, must needs both thinke, and speake good of God. David doth often aggravate the wickednesse of his enemies, from the language of their hearts and tongues, (Psal. 10.11.) He hath said in his heart, God hath forgotten, he hides his face, he will never see. And againe (Psal. 144.7, 8, 11.) Send thy hand from above, rid me and deliver me out of great waters, from the hands of strange children, whose mouth speaketh vanity, and their right hand, is a right hand of falsehood. If the mouth speaketh vanity, the hand is full of falsehood; we may even feele deceite in their hands, whose mouthes speake any kinde of vanity, but especially this, which is the vainest vanity of all, How doth God know? or surely God doth not know. Such the Psalmist rebukes (Psal. 94.4, 5.7.) How long shall they utter and speake hard things? What things were those? The next words shew us; They breake in peeces thy people, &c. yet they say, the Lord shall not see, &c. understand ye brutish, among the people, he that formed the eye, shall he not see? There is no greater argument of brutishnes and ignorance, then to question the knowledge of God; or to say, How doth God know?
