It is a usual form of thanksgiving, Romans 1:25, Romans 9:5. It is in use with us, signifying our sincere and hearty desire that both we ourselves might be enabled, and others by our examples might be quickened, to speak well of God, and to praise his name. This God is called the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, that is, by eternal generation: he is also called the Father of mercies, because he is the Fountain of all that good which floweth to poor creatures. And upon the same account he is also called the God of all comfort.
