First, How should they, who have been under great outward afflictions, praise the Lord when they are delivered! They who having had the sentence of death in themselves, should look upon themselves when restored, as men raised from the dead. And how should sinners praise the Lord, when he hath reconciled them to himself, and pardoned their sins. In doing this for them, he delivereth them from wrath, from hell, and from eternal death. Let such praise the name of the Lord, and say, as in the text, He hath delivered our souls from the pit.

Secondly, Let such live unto God, having received a new life from God; They that have received a new temporal life from God, ought to dedicate it unto God; how much more they that have received new spiritual life? They that have received it indeed, cannot but dedicate it unto God. This negative mercy calls aloud for all that we are or have to be given up to God, but that positive mercy which followeth, calleth yet louder for it.
