Above all, we of this place are bound to praise thy goodness most merciful GOD, for that most incomparable Jewel, that ever this world had, or sons of men enjoyed, the Ministry of the Word, and means of salvation, the discovery of the mystery of CHRIST, and revelation of all thy blessed counsels. By the power whereof so many amongst us, as have truly ⟨p. 242⟩tasted how gracious and glorious thou art in CHRIST, do bless, magnify, and admire, the bottomless depth, and infinite height of thy free grace, for our happy conversion from Satan to the living GOD, for our change from nature to grace, a greater and more glorious work then the Creation of the world, wherein thou hast improved thine own infinite mercy, the unvaluable merit of thy Son, and the mighty work of the HOLY GHOST, to make us of ⟨p. 243⟩limbs of the devil members of CHRIST, O blessed be that happy time, that ever we were so new borne.
