Should not our soules be affected with all and every of these mercies? Should they not be incensed with an ardent zeale of setting forth the honour of his name?
We and others of the same profession, of the same religion enjoy the comfort and benefit of the fore-mentioned mercies, and of many other mercies flowing from the divine Providence: and shall not the Lord who so ordereth his Providence for our good, have the praise and glory thereof?
