I will prayse thee O Lord among the Nations for benefites acknowledged not ending with prayses to God argue eyther a prophane ingratitude or an arrogant presumption Of both these namely his affection and acknowledgement this verse is the Epiphonema or the closing blast of this triumphing Trumpet wherein as if hee wanted winde to sound out by particular enumeration all his seuerall Deliuerances for so himselfe confesseth Psalme 40.5 Thy mercies exceede all account I would declare them and speake of them but I am not able to expresse them therfore as if this verse were the c. or totall summe of all the particular Items hee would haue you take this for all Great deliuerances c.
