The Debt
Is Thankfulness. This is the matter and substance of the words. God having first by affliction taught us to know our selves, doth afterwards by deliverance teach us to know him. And when his gracious hand hath helped us out of the low pit, he looks that (like Israel, Exod. 15.) we should stand upon the shore, and bless his name. David that prayed to God de profundis; a(out of the depths have I called unto thee) doth after praise him in excelsis, with the highest Organs and instruments of laud.
Is Thankefulnesse. This is the matter and substance of the wordes. God hauing first by affliction taught vs to know our selues, doth afterwards by deliuerance teach vs to know him. And when his gracious hand hath helped vs out of the low pitte, hee lookes that (like Israel, Exod. 15.) wee should stand vpon the shore, and blesse his name. Dauid that prayed to God de profundis; a(out of the depths haue I called vnto thee) doth after praise him in excelsis, with the highest Organs and instruments of laud.
General mercies require our continual thanks; but new favours new praises. b
