III. And Lastly, the Last Observation is, That God must have the Glory and Praise of this Preservation and Deliverance. My Tongue shall sing aloud of thy Righteousness. Thy Mercy, Compassion, Grace and Faithfulness.
If God prevent and keep us from falling into Sin, the Glory and Praise is to be Ascribed to his Preventing Grace: It is the Lords Doing, and should be Marvellous in our Eyes. So it will be, if we are sensible of our own Desperate Wickedness. It is the Greatest Good, kindness and Benefit that God can do ⟨p. 28⟩us in this Life, next to his bestowing Sanctifying Grace upon us.

As Angels who never Sinned, are more happy and blessed for this reason, then Sinners and Saints are, whom the Angels Rejoice over in their Repentance.
