1 ! The Prophet praiseth the bountie, wisdome, power, justice & prouidence of God vpon all his creatures.
1 a He sheweth wher we oght to exercise our selues continually, & to take our pastime: to wit, in praising God.
2 b Because the Lord is the founder of the Church, it can not be destroyed, thogh the memebers thereof be dispersed, and seme, as it were, for a time to be cut of.
4 d Thogh it seme to man incredible, that God shulde assenble his Church, being so dispersed, yet nothing can be to hard to him, that can nomber & name all the starres.
8 f He sheweth by the examples of Gods mightie power, goodnes & wisdome, that we can neuer want moste just occasion to praise God.
9 g For thir crying is as it were a confession of their nede, which can not be reliued, but by God onely: then if God shew himself mindeful of the moste contemptible foules, can he suffer them to dye with famine, whome he hathe assured of life euerlasting.
10 h Thogh to vse lawful meanes is bothe profitable & pleaseth God, yet to put our trust in them, is to defraude God of his honour.
13 i He doeth not onely furnish his Church with all things necessarie, but preserueth als the same, & maketh it strong against all outward force.
15 k His secret working in all creatures is as a commandement to kepe them in ordre, & to giue them mouing & force.
15 l For immediately & without resisting all things obei him.
19 m As before he called Gods secret working in all his creatures his word: so he meaneth here, by his worde, the doctrine of life euerlasting, which we hathe left to his Church, as a moste precious treasure.
19 ! Declaring his worde and judgements so vnto them, as he hathe done to none other people.
