Furthermore, the works which must of necessity be done daily, are to carry our selves both in prosperity, and under all blessings rightly, that is, cheerfully, thankfully, and fruitfully: and in our afflictions patiently and with contentation. And who doth not know, that these both should be daily?1 For, first that praises and thanksgiving in our prosperity are required to be daily, as long as that estate abideth, consider what the psalmist saith, my tongue shall talk of thy righteousness daily, Psalm. 71.24. and that meant Saint James, 2Chap. 5.13.
