And as we must give God the glory of his mercies, So we must ¹give glory to God with all his Mercies. We must improve Englands mercies to the glory of the God of England; England is an Island encompassed about with four Oceans: An Ocean of water: And of late years an Ocean of dangers: And now I am sure with an Ocean of sins; and an Ocean of mercies. O let us add one Ocean more, an Ocean of service, and obedience; as God hath done singular and extraordinary things for us, so let us do some singular and extraordinary service for God. He hath made England a miracle of mercy; let England be a miracle of obedience: A Christian in England must not onely servire Deo, sed & adulari, as Tertullian saith: He must be rich in good works as God hath ²been rich in mercy. We must eight ways improve Englands mercies.
