And further-I think you will all agree in this, only sing praise truly, and there will be little discontent. I do not know a better remedy for discontent than praise, true praise. I will not dwell upon this. But you will at once own that praise is very becoming. Only withhold it and you will see what a position you put yourself into.
Praise is comely.
To withhold it is most unseemly. Every Christian is expected, in all circumstances, to be able to praise continually. All believers, remember. But yet, it is not the case that all saints always do it. He wanted to stir up believers to praise more.
