praise_n and_o our_o duty_n that_o shall_v be_v open_v therein_o the_o first_o point_n that_o i_o specify_v be_v the_o praise_n of_o god_n the_o word_n praise_n as_o many_o other_o elsewhere_o do_v signify_v not_o the_o act_n but_o the_o object_n or_o to_o speak_v it_o plain_o not_o the_o due_a but_o the_o merit_n of_o goodness_n so_o saint_n paul_n tell_v the_o thessalonian_o that_o they_o be_v his_o hope_n his_o joy_n â—9_n 1._o thes_n 2._o â—9_n his_o crown_n in_o the_o day_n of_o the_o lord_n hope_v that_o be_v the_o thing_n hope_v for_o joy_n that_o be_v the_o thing_n wherein_o he_o shall_v joy_v and_o crown_n that_o be_v the_o thing_n for_o which_o he_o shall_v be_v crown_v so_o here_o the_o praise_n of_o god_n be_v that_o for_o which_o god_n deserve_v to_o be_v praise_v so_o strict_a a_o conjunction_n be_v there_o between_o the_o act_n and_o the_o object_n and_o so_o inseparable_a shall_v the_o one_o be_v from_o the_o other_o that_o the_o name_n of_o the_o one_o may_v very_o fit_o be_v use_v for_o the_o other_o he_o that_o be_v good_a shall_v receive_v praise_n and_o he_o that_o receive_v praise_n shall_v be_v good_a 1.31_o gene._n 1.31_o god_n see_v all_o that_o he_o have_v make_v and_o lo_o it_o be_v very_o good_a and_o present_o he_o keep_v his_o sabbaoth_n who_o native_a use_n be_v glorify_v of_o and_o glory_v in_o that_o which_o be_v good_a and_o herein_o shall_v god_n be_v a_o precedent_n unto_o man_n he_o shall_v not_o put_v asunder_o what_o god_n have_v conjoin_v but_o as_o the_o very_a word_n here_o admonish_v let_v praise_n be_v a_o synonymon_n for_o goodness_n but_o when_o we_o come_v to_o determine_v what_o goodness_n be_v understand_v in_o this_o word_n praise_n some_o will_v have_v we_o look_v back_o unto_o the_o verse_n go_v before_o and_o will_v have_v the_o goodness_n here_o mean_v restrain_v to_o the_o righteousness_n there_o specify_v to_o the_o evangelicall_a righteousness_n the_o mercy_n of_o god_n in_o christ_n whereof_o david_n have_v good_a proof_n and_o indeed_o that_o be_v the_o prime_a goodness_n of_o god_n and_o call_v for_o the_o high_a degree_n of_o praise_n god_n deserve_a praise_n when_o he_o make_v man_n of_o the_o dust_n of_o the_o earth_n so_o goodly_a a_o creature_n of_o so_o base_a stuff_n but_o he_o deserve_v much_o more_o praise_n when_o he_o redeem_v sinful_a man_n from_o the_o flame_n of_o hell_n and_o make_v he_o with_o his_o own_o son_n a_o heir_n of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n to_o bring_v so_o forlorn_a a_o wretch_n to_o so_o exceed_a happiness_n must_v needs_o be_v a_o matter_n worthy_a of_o extraordinary_a praise_n 1.6_o ephes_n 1.6_o &_o s._n paul_n make_v praise_v the_o end_n of_o that_o great_a work_n and_o in_o the_o revelation_n the_o angel_n and_o saint_n all_o fall_n down_o before_o the_o i_o hrone_n and_o give_v glory_n for_o the_o same_o for_o that_o it_o be_v a_o work_n not_o only_a of_o almighty_a power_n but_o also_o of_o unspeakable_a grace_n therefore_o have_v they_o reason_n to_o give_v glory_n for_o the_o same_o this_o be_v true_a but_o yet_o praise_n must_v not_o in_o this_o place_n be_v so_o restrain_v david_n before_o his_o fall_n have_v more_o contemplation_n of_o god_n than_o one_o and_o make_v his_o psalm_n according_o and_o indeed_o the_o very_a word_n here_o use_v for_o praise_n be_v tehillah_n and_o have_v good_a cognation_n with_o
