Again if we would praise God, 4let us every day keep a Diary of his favours, and blessings; what good he doth us privately, ⟨p. 121⟩what positive blessings he bestows upon us, and what dangers he frees us from, and continues, and renews his mercies every day, and publicly what benefit we have by the state we live in, Oh what a happy state is it that we live in peace, that we enjoy such laws, that every man may fit under his own vine, and under his own figtree and enjoy the comforts of this life, when all the world about us are, and have been in combustion! We should keep a Register of Gods blessings, Oh, that we could learn to have such exact lives! it would breed ⟨p. 122⟩a world of comfort, and we should have a less account to make, when we die.
