From hence observe,
1. A gracious heart hath such a sense of Gods worth and 1perfection, that it would have all things that are honourable and glorious, ascribed to him, therefore are divers words here used▪ When we have done our utmost we come short; for Gods name is exalted above all blessing, and above all praise, Nehem. 9. 5. Yet 'tis good to do as much as we can: Love to God will not be satisfied with a little praise, I will praise him yet more and more, love enlargeth the heart towards God, if there be any thing more excellent he shall have it; well then 'tis a sign of a dead heart to be a niggard in praises, to be sparing, careless, or cold this way.
