Still using means, tho it was of God only that they had them, [illegible: 1 letter]nd that they were effectual to them. In this History is lively verified that of the Psalmist, Psal. 107.18, 19, 20.

He sent his word and healed them, he delivered them from their destructions. And what follows, but, ver. 21. O that men would praise the Lord for his goodness, for his wonderful works to the children of men. God hath a Tribute of Praise which is due unto him from the Readers of this Story, that they would acknowledg that there is none else who can deliver after this manner, Dan. 3.29. and then to be sure they will desire that this God might be their God for ever and ever, Psal. 48.14.
