We draw our breath from him; and as life, fo all the comforts of life are from God he gives us health, which is the fauce to fweeten our life; he gives us food, which is the oil that nourifh eth the lamp of life: now, if all we receive is from the hand of his bounty, isit not good reafon we lhould glorify him, and live to him, feeing we live by him? Rom. Xi. 36. For of him, and through him areall things.' tim are all, all we have is of his fulnefs; through him are all, all we have is through-his free-grace; and therefore to him lhould be all: fo it follows, To him be glory for ever.' God is not only our benefactor, but our founder; the rivers come from the fea, and they empty their filv'er fireams into the fea again.
