First, to be thankful to God and Jesus Christ, and to love the more;1 for you know and have tasted what he did for you; you know how bitter a few sips of the cup was, which he drank off and took ⟨p. 9⟩down, and therefore must needs love him more. You also have more experience of Gods power and faithfulness, and what a miracle God hath wrought in raising you up again, He hath shown you wonders among the dead, as Heman speaks: Be thankful. Thus David in Psal. 116. ver. 3, 4. compared with the first verse, I love the Lord, and why? The sorrows of death compassed me, the pains of hell got hold upon me. I found trouble and sorrow, I was brought low and he helped me.
