Take these Rules.
1. If you would render Thanks to God in Tongue, in Heart and L•fe, for this Mercy, then get a right judgment of the worth and greatness of the Mercy, that you, and some of yours are continued after this Visitation. Those that do not prize a Mercy, will never be thankful for it: What a Mercy is life to you, that are not ⟨p. 289⟩yet assured of the love of God? What a Mercy is life to you, that are not yet certain of the Salvation of your Souls? or, if you are sure of Heaven, yet is life to you a great Mercy; that you have time to do the Works that God hath appointed you to do. Consider also what a Mercy it is to have your Children continued, that you may yet Instruct them, and Pray for them; that you may see Christ formed in them before you or they do die.
