good of all creatures For it is he Which couereth the heauen with clouds Verse 8. pre pareth rain for the earth and maketh the grasse to grow vpon the mountaines Which giueth to beasts their food Verse 9. and to the yong rauens that call vppon him We must needs wonder concerning the cloudes and we must needs wonder cōcerning the rain but yet we must needs much more admire and wonder that God createth such things not that he boasteth of his omnipotencie but of his goodnesse therein which also euidently appeareth in the very preseruation of bruit beasts For why doth the Lord couer the heauens with cloudes That he may prepare raine for the earth Wherefore doth hee prepare raie ffor the earth That grasse may grow vpon the mountaines Wherefore doth hee let grasse grow That beasts may haue their foode and the yong rauens that call vpon him So then we heare it well that God careth also for the bruite beasts as likewise for the yong rauens which call vpon him that is they which crie for hunger and must needs perish if God did not nourish them The heathen Phylosopher Aristotle taught that God onely cared for the more excellent creatures and regarded not the meaner But Gods word teacheth that God also preserueth the young rauens when they call vppon him and soe maketh no difference in his care for this or that beast as also in like manner concerning man He is no accepter of persons but in euery nation Act. 10.34.35 he that feareth him and worketh righteousnesse is accepted with him For as our Psalme saith he hath not pleasure in the strength of an horse verse 10. neither delighteth in any mans legges that is he careth not at all whether any bee proud and potent in the world but he delighteth in them that feare him and hope vppon his mercies whether they be highly or basely esteemed of amongst men in the world And it is not hard or heauie vnto God the Lord to nourish preserue and support both man and beast For verse 15. He only sendeth forth his commandements vppon earth that is he only commandeth it and his word runneth very swiftly that is and it is done Will he haue snowe then hee giueth it will hee haue hoare frost then hee scattereth it like ashes will he haue yce then hee casteth it like morsels will hee haue frost then can no man endure the cold thereof He sendeth his word and it melteth them verse 18. hee causeth his winde to blowe and the yee thaweth so that the waters flowe Now that which Gods people did here praise aforetime that are we worthily bound to extoll and praise at this day God hath mercifully of late turned his wisdome and almighty power ouer the Electorall Palatinate for good He hath mightily three quarters of a yeere agoe led our Prince Elector out of the Palatinate into England he hath wisely and richly blessed his highnesse designe and purpose and mightely hath very latelie safely conuayed and returned his Princely Electorall Highnesse and also yesterday the Princesse Electoresse his highnesse spouse safely vnto this place Wherefore sing yee one with another with thankesgiuing vnto the Lord and praise our God vpon the harpe Praise the Lord O Heydelberg praise thy God O Palatinate Howsoeuer we haue now with the old Church in regard of Gods now recited benefits sufficient cause of praise and thankesgiuing yet doth the Spirit of God further lead vs vnto the consideration of the most high and best good that God can giue vnto any man in a whole Countrey or Kingdome verse 19. Hee sheweth his word vnto Iacob his statutes and his iudgements vnto Israel O gracious Lord God verse 13. what were it though the Barres of our gates were made fast within vs and all outward peace procured vnto our borders if in the meanetime the borders of our consciences should be depriued of heauenly comfort What were it though our children were blessed within our gates if we were not thereof assured that we our selues also be Gods children What were it though our bodies were satisfied with the finest flower if our soules should in the meanetime euer hunger and thirst with the want of Gods worde and grace Therefore the Prophet reioyceth and triumpheth withall for this benefit that God offereth vnto the Iewish people his euerlasting grace and mercy in the word preached and for that the true Religion was at that time altogether shut vp within the cabinet of the Land of Iudah hee proceedeth herehence with admiration and saith Hee hath not dealt so with euery nation neither letteth them know his iudgements Praise ye the Lord. That is praise and thankes be giuen vnto God who amongst vs gathereth a handfull vnto him who know him honour him and feare him whereas notwithstanding so many people liue altogether without God and are depriued and euen robbed of all true comfort both in life and death We beloued in the Lord can now at this day reioyce of that in the Protestant Churches of Germanie whereof the people of the Iewes reioyced aforetime as namely that God hath shewed vnto vs his holy word and hath let vs know his statutes and his iudgements Hee sheweth his word vnto vs that is he cleerely reuealeth himselfe vnto vs in the Gospell This wee know and acknowledge with all Protestant Churches God is the fountaine of all goodnesse and all the euill that is in the world proceedeth at no hand from him but from Satan and mans free will This wee know and acknowledge with all Protestant Churches Christ Iesus is the almighty Sonne of God the brightnesse of his glory and the ingraued forme of his person who in the fulnesse of time tooke vpon him our flesh and blood and hath purchased for vs through his death eternall redemption This we know and acknowledge with all Protestant Churches The holy Ghost is the third person of the Deitie the comforter of all the afflicted and the earnest of our saluation to come This wee know and acknowledge with all Protestant Churches The Lord God hath so neere a care of his faithfull children that not so much as a haire of their head is bowed or any little bone broken in their body without his will This wee know and acknowledge with all Protestant Churches When God calleth for vs before his strict iudgement be it as well in health as in sicknesse and denieth vnto our owne conscience all comfort so that wee cannot withstand the iust wrath of God at all but yet the alone precious suffering and bitter death of our deere Lord and Sauiour Iesus Christ whose suffering and death being laid hold on with true faith euen then stilleth the spirituall heart-beating and quieteth the disturbed conscience This we know and acknowledge with all Protestant Churches When God sendeth vs sorrow and affliction it is so farre from hurting of vs that it also turneth vnto our good and our selues may therefore praise
