Is this the Sacrifice of Praise you Bring to God?

Free will or the sovereignty of God? How does this relate to the "sacrifice of praise?"

Let's let a dead man speak, and much to our weak contemporary ears that love tolerance and overtly irenic conversation, this is one forceful dead man. Here is the Puritan John Owen, speaking of those who place free will and God's sovereignty on equal footing:

"And so at length, with much toil and labor, they have placed an altar for their idol in the holy temple, on the right hand of the altar of God, and on it offer sacrifice to their own net and drag; at least, 'nec Deo, nec libero arbitrio, sed dividatur,' — not all to God, nor all to free-will, but let the sacrifice of praise, for all good things, be divided between them."
