_Let euery thing that hath breath praise the Lord_, that is [fc]_omne spirans_, [fd]_omnis spiritualis_, [fe]_omnis spiritus_, let euery creature praise the lord for his estate of confection, euery Christian praise the Lord for his estate of refection, euery blessed spirit loosed out of the worldes misery praise the Lord for his estate of perfection, let euery creature, man aboue all the Creatures, and the soule of man aboue all that is in man praise the Lord. _Omnis spiritus, i. [ff]totus spiritus_, [fg]all the heart, all the soule, all the mind, as the psalmist [fh]elsewhere, I will thanke thee O Lord my God with all mine heart, euen with my [fi]whole heart, or _omnis spiritus_ the spirit of euery man in euery place, for this saying is [fk]propheticall, insinuating that God in time to come, shall not only be worshipped of the Iewes at Ierusalem with outward ceremonies, _in the sound of the trumpet and vpon the lute and harpe_: but in all places, of all persons in spirit and truth as Christ expounds _Dauid_ in the 4. of Saint _Iohns_ Gospell at the 23. verse, whereas vnbeleeuing Iewes are the sonnes of _Abraham_ according to the flesh only, beleeuing Gentiles are the [fl]seed of _Abraham_ according to the spirit, and heires by promise, more Israel saith [fm]_Augustine_ then Israel it selfe. The sonnes of _Abraham_ (as Christ tels vs in the [fn]Gospell) are they who doe the workes of _Abraham_, and _Abrahams_ chiefe worke was faith, _Abraham_ beleeued (saith the [fo]text) and it was imputed to him for righteousnes. _Ergo_, the true beleeuer is a right Isralite, blessed with faithfull _Abraham_. Galat. 3. 9. [fp]some stretch this further, applying it not onely to the spirits of men in the Church militant, but also to the blessed Angels and Saints in the triumphant, for this Psalme consists of a threefold _apostrophe_.

All the dwellers vpon earth, _praise him in the sound of the trumpet, praise him vpon the lute and harpe, &c._ 3. Both and all, _let euery thing that hath breath_, euery thing which hath either the life of nature, or of grace, or of glorie, let _euery spirit_ [fq]whether it be terrestriall or celestiall, of whatsoeuer condition, age, sexe, _praise the Lord_.
