Rom. 1.21 and Christians over to Antichristianism as you may note in 2 Thes 2.9 10 11 12. This also caus'd that Nebuchadnezzar was transform'd into the Nature of a Beast as you may Read in Dan. 5.20 21. And that Herod was eaten up of Worms as it is Recorded in Acts 12.23 Therefore let us learn from their harms to beware of Ingratitude and even at this present instant or juncture of time return Thanks unto God for those great Deliverances and manifold Mercies which we continually Enjoy'd from the Moment of our Nativity to this present Opportunity resolving from henceforth until our departure out of this Life to render Praise unto him for whatsoever Benefits or Blessings his good Providence may treasure up for us in order to our future Happiness saying with the Sacred Psalmist in Psal 72.18 19. Blessed be the Lord God the God of Israel who only doth wondrous things And blessed be his glorious Name for ever and let the whole Earth be filled with his Glory Amen and Amen Thus have I shew'd you what Praise is together with the Fruits and Effects of it in Ten Particulars In the next place I design by God's permission to demonstrate unto you how God is to be praised and that in these Six Compendious Points First of all God is praised by acknowledging him to be what he is in Himself in his Son in his Spirit in his Properties and in his Attributes For Moses in his Psalm of Thanksgiving Exod. 15.3 did praise God by speaking of him on this wise The Lord is a Man of War The Lord is his Name Secondly God is praised by attributing unto him that which is his as holy David did 1 Chron. 29.10 11 12 13. where it is thus written Wherefore David blessed the Lord before all the Congregation And David said Blessed be thou Lord God of Israel our Father for ever and ever Thine O Lord is the Greatness and the Power and the Glory and the Victory and the Majesty for all that is in the Heaven and the Earth is thine thine is the Kingdom O Lord and thou art exalted as Head above all Both Riches and Honour come of thee and thou reignest over all and in thine hand is Power and Might and in thine hand it is to make great and to give strength unto all Now therefore our God we thank thee and praise thy Holy Name Thirdly God is praised by acknowledging that which his Providence seemingly effects to be only done or perform'd by himself Thus doth Moses praise God by ascribing unto him the Overthrow of Pharoah and his Hosts in the Red Sea as you may observe Exod. 15.4 So also doth the Psalmist in most of his Psalms of Praise as in Psal 136.1 and from the 15th Verse to the 23d where it is thus worded O give thanks unto the Lord for he is good for his Mercy endureth for ever To him that overthrew Pharach and his Host in the Red Sea To him which led his People through the Wilderness To him which smote great Kings and slew famous Kings Sihon King of the Amorites and Og the King of Bashan and gave their Land for an Heritage even an Heritage unto Israel his Servant And this he did because his Mercy to his People endureth for ever Fourthly God is praised by owning that which he disposeth to be only given of himself this was David's candid acknowledgment of God's hounteous Benefits and liberal Gifts in 1 Chron. 29.14 where he thus spake unto the Lord All things come of thee and of thine own have we given thee Also St. Paul saith in Rom. 11.36 Of him and through him and to him are all things to whom be Glory for ever Amen Fifthly God is praised by declaring or mentioning unto others all the fore-named Points concerning him Thus did the sweet-tongu'd David that singular Singer of Israel 1 Chron. 16.8 9. where he speaks these godly Expressions Give unto the Lord the glory due unto his Name bring an Offering and come before him Worship the Lord in the Beauty of Holiness Thus also have I show'd you in six compendious Points how God is to be praised If therefore according to these pithy and practical Points of Piety our Hearts are inclinable to praise God who is the most Victorious Conqueror and matchless Man of War under whose Bellonick or Warlike Banner we seem terrible in sight of our Adversaries because as Abijah said to the Israelites in 2 Chron. 13.12 That God Himself is with us for our Captain triumphing gloriously for the Discomfiture and Destruction of his Peoples Enemies As Moses speaks concerning the Overthrow of Pharaoh in Exod. 15.4 and of whom David saith Psal 98.1 That he hath done miraculous things for nis right Hand and his holy Arm hath gotten him the Victory That by this means as Zacharias prophesied of Christ and his believing People Luke 1.74 75. We being delivered out of the hands of our Enemies might serve him without fear in Holiness and Righteousness before him all the days of our life renewing the Vow and Covenant that we made with Christ in our Baptism of fighting manfully under his Banner against Sin the World and the Devil and to continue his faithful Soldiers and Servants unto our Lives end To which end in order to prolong our Lives and see good Days by keeping our Tongues from Evil and Lips from guile we must abandon and abominate all horrid and rash Jurations all hasty and hurtful Protestations all hellish and heinous Imprecations all envious and evil Communications with all unchaste Desires and uncivil Deportment in our Lives and Christian Conversations for in so doing we have God's own inviolable Promises to be still aiding or assisting to us in all Manly and Military Enterprizes So that we may well agree in the pious Opinion and divine Disposition of indubitable and undaunted David to say in the Dialect or Warlike Words of my Text Through God we shall do valiantly for he it is that shall tread down our Enemies This Portion of Scripture is a Text befitting the holy Parade and Camp of the Lord of Hosts for we have God in the Front God in the Center and God in the Reer of it If we wheel the Text to the Right hand there we shall find God triumphing if to the Right about there triumphing valiantly if we move the Text to the Left hand there we shall find God trampling if to the Left about there trampling down our Enemies If we place the Words as they were either upon their orderly Guard or in their close Order and as on the Patrol walk the Rounds of my Text Through God we shall do valiantly for he it is that shall tread down our Enemies Having thus rendezvous'd countermarch'd exercis'd or muster'd my Text and form'd the Bands Battalions and Squadrons of our Camp in Battel Array let us proceed in the Name of the Lord of Hosts to display unto our Enemies the Flag of Defiance and make our
