2 Consider God in his relations to us, how often is he sinned against as a Father? how is his kindness abused, and he not reverenced as Creator of whom we have our Being? yea, he is kicked against, and we live not to him from whom and by whom we live; he is a Husband, and yet we go a whoring from him, and prove unfaithful in all our ties to him; he is a Redeemer of his People, and a Master and Lord of all, but what fear, love, subjection getteth he from us, notwithstanding of all these Relations?

3 Consider God's works for us, about us, and to us, of Creation, Providence, and Redemption, besides his particular Dispensations both of Mercies and Judgments, all which call for something suitable from us; and yet every one of them is more way • than one slighted, by attributing whether good or evil, to Chance, Luck, or Fortune, by unthankfulness to him, and abuse of what he giveth; and by not studying these works, so as to admire and love him who is the Worker.
