Now we have so great and just grounds at this time to praise God, let us take the occasions of stirring up our own and others spirits to do it heartily and zealously: that God finding his blessings conferred on a grateful people may never repent any kindness done: but may go on to add victory to victory, success to success, blessing to blessing, till he have finished the good work done for his Churches, and accomplished the promises which he hath made for destroying the kingdom of Antichrist, calling the Jews, bringing in the fullness of the Gentiles, and consummating all things by his last, and most glorious coming.

Wherefore, Bless the Lord, O my soul: and all that is within me bless his holy name. Bless the Lord, O my soul: and forget not all his benefits. My heart is fixed O God, my heart is fixed: I will sing and give praise. Awake up my glory: I my self will awake early. My tongue shall speak of thy righteousness, and of thy praise all the day long.
