We ought not only to give thanks, 1but •o be thankful, to meditate and study the praises of God. Our whole life should be nothing else but a continual blessing of his holy name, endeavouring to bring in all we have, and to lay i• out for God and his people, to see where he hath any receivers; our goodness is nothing to God, we need bring 2[…] water to the fountain, nor light to the Sun. Thankfulness is full of invention, it deviseth liberal things; though it be our duty to be good Stewards of our talents, yet thankfulness adds a lustre, and a more gracious acceptance, as having more of that which God calls for.
