O Lord God, what shall we render unto thee for all thy benefits? which hast given thy Son for a ransom, thy holy spirit for a pledge, thy word for a guide, and reservest a kingdom for our perpetual inheritance: of whose goodness we are created, of whose justice we are corrected, of whose mercy we are saved: our sins strive with ⟨p. 12⟩thy benefits which are moe, let us count all creatures, & there be not so many of any kind, as thy gifts, except our offences, which we return unto thee for them. Thou mightest have said before we were formed: let them be monsters, or let them be Infidels, or let them be beggars, or Cripples, or bond-slaves so long as they live. But thou hast made us to the best likeness, and nursed us in the best religion, and placed us in the best land, that thousands would think themselves happy, if they had but a piece of our happiness. Therefore why should any serve thee more then we, which want nothing but thankfulness?

But thou hast made vs to the best likenes, and nursed vs in the best religion, and placed vs in the best land, that thousands wold thinke themselues happy, if they had but a peece of our happines. Therefore why should any serue thee more then we, which want nothing but thankfulnesse?
