Our whole life should speak nothing but thankfulness; every condition and place we are in, should be a witness of our thankfulness; this will make the times and places we live in, the better for us; when we our selves are monuments of Gods mercy, it is fit we should be patterns of his praises, and leave monuments to others; We should think life is given us, to do something better then life in: we live not to live; our life is not the end of it self, but the praise of the giver; God hath joined his glory and our happiness together; it is fit that we should refer all that is good to his glory, that hath joined his glory to our best good, in being glorified in our salvation.
