اِسْتَحْمِدِX عَلَيْهِمْ [so I find it written, as though meaning Demand thou, of his creatures, the praising of God, by reason of his beneficence to them, and his bounty to them: but I think that we should read اِسْتَحْمَدَ ٱللّٰهُ, and that the meaning is, God hath demanded praise of his creatures by his beneficence, &c.].
