1. We may mention what is wrought in us for Gods glory; surely however we humble our selves we must not belie his bounty. To be always complaining of spiritual evils, it doth not argue a good temper of soul: Psal. 116. 7. Return to thy rest, O my soul, for the Lord hath dealt bountifully with thee. We may own the Lords bounty, and take notice what good we have done to the glory of his grace: Not I but the grace of God which was with me, 1 Cor. 15. 10.

2. We may mention it to our own comfort; thus Paul, 2 Cor. 1. 12. Jesus Christ is our rejoicing, but in one sense this is also our rejoicing, the testimony of our conscience. Wherefore is grace given us, but for the furtherance of our comfort? To bear false witness against our selves is naught. Though the duties of the first Table neither begin nor end in us, yet the whole Law of charity begins at home.
