Thanksgiving is the best Sauce to our Meat; and blesseth all the Dishes on the Table.1 When thou hast eaten, and art full, thou shalt bless the Lord thy God. Whether we eat or drink, work or rest, let us set that golden Poesy on all our labours,2 which the Angel to Zechariah gave of the Head-stone: Grace, grace unto it. He spake pleasant truth, that said: He that riseth from the Table without giving of thanks, goes his way, & owes for his Ordinary. He is unthankful, that is unmindful of a benefit: unthankful that requites it not: unthankful that dissembles it: but most unthankful that denies it. Though we cannot requite Gods favour, we will neither forget it, nor dissemble it, nor deny it.
