First, let us make these mercies, Motives to obedience and service. As God made the deliverance out of Egypt a motive to the keeping of the ten Commandments, I am the Lord which brought thee out of the Land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage, therefore thou shalt have none other Gods but me: Thou shalt not make to thy self any graven Image, &c. So let us make Englands mercies a Motive to the keeping of Gods Commandments. I beseech ⟨p. 14⟩you by the mercies of God offer up your bodies a living orifice, holy 1and acceptable unto God, which is your reasonab• •vice; •et the great turn of times move us to turn to God: Let us not take Gods name in vain, after so many mercies; Let us not profane Gods day, commit whoredom, make our lusts our laws, our money our God, after so many mercies.
