PRAISES Bespoke for the GOD of Heaven, In a Thanksgiving SERMON.
It is Written in Isai. XII.5. Sing unto the Lord, for He hath done Excellent Things; This is Known in all the Earth.
Our Blessed Saviour, being to Preach upon a Text, fetched out of that very Book from whence we have now taken ours, began His Holy Sermon, with sayings This ⟨p. 2⟩Day is this Scripture fulfilled in your Ears. […] is by an unhappy Encounter of Gods Mercies and your Desires, that upon the Reading of the Text now before us, I may in like manner, close the Book, and say, This day is this Text fulfilled amongst us. Truly tis known abroad, that our God has done excellent things; and for this cause we are with no less Grounded than Solemn THANKSGIVINGS endeavouring to Sing unto the Lord. Behold a Word of the day in its day here provided for you. May our further considering and understanding of the Text, but promote our fuller Conformity thereunto, and more exactly imprint the shapes of this Heavenly Mould upon us.
