Isaiah12:4
Ver. 4. And in that day ſhall ye ſay, Praiſe the Lord] Viz. with us, and for us. Every true Confiteb[illegible: 1 letter]r tibi, hath its Confitemini Domino annexed unto it. The Saints are unſatisfiable in praiſing God for the great work of their Redemption: and do therefore call in help, all that may be.
Call upon his Name] Which is a ſpecial way of praiſing Him, whileſt we make Him the ſole Object of our prayers: profeſſing our diſtance from him, our whole dependence upon him, &c. See 1 Chron. 16.8. and Pſalm 105.1.
Declare his doings] Sept. his glorious things; thoſe many Miracles of Mercy wrought in our Redemption, which is a work much more excellent then that of making all things at firſt of nothing, keeping Heaven ſtill upon its hinges, and upholding the whole Univerſe without a Foundation. Magna ſunt opera Dei Creatoris, Recreatoris autem longe maxima, ſaith Gregory.
Make mention that his Name is exalted] Or, celebrate his Name which is High, far above all praiſe.
