Iude 7. Mat. 11.21.24 which being good in the sight of God Christ seeking for no other cause of his Fathers actions then his owne good pleasure Luke 10.21 rejoycingly assents unto it returning him thanks for it and for the discovery of himself to babes thus the Apostles gave thankes to God for that he made them through the manifestation of the favour of his knowledge by them in every place a sweet favour of Christ unto God in them that are saved and in them that perish 2 Cor. 2.14 15 16. Sect. 1. At that time namely when God had used all meanes of grace to convert those Cities to himselfe and to save them and when they had abused all his meanes of grace to the subverting themselvs to their own condemnation Mat. 11.16 17 18 19. c. At that time Iesus answered and said I thank the O Father c. Whence we may observe Doct. 1. That a● at all times so especially at that time in which some great effects of Gods workes or word doth appeare for good or evill to men we should give him thanks 1 Thes 5.18 Rev. 19.1.7 Sect. 2. Iesus answered and said I thanke thee whence we may observe Doct. That thankfulnes to God is our answer to every effect of his word and works it is Gods great end in all that he doth Pro. 16.4 The Lord hath made all things for himselfe to wit for the glory of his mercy yea even the wicked for the day of evill for the glory of his justice Rom. 9.22 23. Vse They that murmure against God in any condition or that curse him are called to blesse him and they shall be punished by him not onely for cursing him but also for not blessing him not onely for being unthankfull but also for not being thankful as it is their dutifull answer to all the doings and dealings of God and as not to be thankfull is to be unthankfull Sect. 3. I thank the O Father as if Christ had said I rejoyce that God is thus glorified in his justice and mercy by the effects of his word and works in men for he is my Father Whence we may observe Doct. That a man to be thankfull to God first must know him to be his Father and that for a double Reason Reas First Because untill I more or lesse know God to be my Father he is in my understanding to me an angry and an avenging Judge and a consuming fire Heb. 12.29 in which consideration of God I can not unfainedly thanke him for any thing Reas Secondly Because God is thanked but when he is thanked unfainedly but when I more or lesse know God to be my Father then I can see his love to me in all things drawing me from a principle of unfained love to be thankfull to aim in and for all things Sect. 4 Lord of heaven and earth Observe hence Doct. That a child of God wheresoever he is though it be upon the highest mountain in the world yet he cannot see above him beside him nor beneath him beyond his Fathers Lordship Psal 50.10.11.12 Every beast of the Forrest is mine and the cattell upon a thousand hills J know all the fowles of the mountaines and the wild beasts of the field are mine the world is mine and the fulnes there●● Vse Thou then that seest thy self to be a child of God and seest thy Fathers Lordship to be more and above and beyond all that thou canst see any way before thee or behind thee beside thee above thee or beneath thee why shouldst thou feare any want or distrust thy Fathers providence for thee Learne of rich mens children who whilst they are under age have no power over their Fathers estate and yet from what estate they see of their Fathers in his own hands and in the hands of tenants and servants they gather assurance of maintenance from their Father by that estate as if it were all in their own hands So thou that art a child of God whose land and riches is all the world and the fulnes thereof and thou hast nothing in thine own hands as yet but all is in the hands of thy Father and in the hands of his tenants and servants And now from all this estate of thy Fathers canst thou gather lesse than assurance of thy reliefe and maintenance and if thou doest question this thou doest as much question whether God is thy Father or no or else whether he be Lord of all things or no. Sect. 4. Lord of heaven and earth Observe againe Doct. That all the Lords in the world and the possessers thereof are but tenants Stewards and servants to this great Landlord called the Lord who is therefore the Lord of Lords and King of Kings 1 Tim. 6.15 Vse Therefore ●e not men boast themselves of their riches nor ingrosse the Lords inheritance to themselves as if there were no Lord above them but let them own and acknowledge their high Lord in all that they possesse and honour him with all their substance Pro. 3 9 Send him his high rents by his servants the poor least ye forfeit all to him and he call you to a strict account and turne you out of your Stewardship see that as good Stewards of God you give his family a portion in due season and remember that you receive freely to give freely be good in your place lest you come to disgrace be liberall
