2. Every day, because there should be Family-Prayer; for all that take their Meat together, are to come, and say to God; Give us this day our daily ⟨p. 337⟩Bread. It is not said, Give me, but Give us: Therefore you see how little of Love and Fear of God is there, where Week after Week they call not upon God's Name.

3. To make way for our Gratitude and Thankfulness. Our Mercies they flow not from God all at once, but some to day, and some to morrow, for we take them day by day; altogether, they are too heavy for us to wield and manage: Psal. 68. 19. Who daily loadeth us with Benefits. Our Mercies they come in greater Number, and a greater Measure, then we are able to acknowledge, make use of, or be thankful for. Therefore this is the burden of gracious Hearts, that Mercies come so thick and fast, they cannot be thankful enough for them: but to help us, God distributes them by Parcels; who loadeth us daily, some to day, some to morrow, and every day, that we may not forget God, but may have a new Argument to praise him.
