Israels prayer in time of trouble with Gods gracious answer thereunto, or, An explication…

Having handled the general doctrine of our entering into Covenant with God, I shall now proceed unto the particulars which they here engage themselves unto, whereof the first is a solemn Thanksgiving, We will render the calves of our lips. ^aAll the sacrifices of the Jews were of two sorts. Some were Ilasticall, propitiatory, or expiatory, for pardon of sin, or impetration of favour: others ⟨p. 2⟩were Eucharistical sacrifices of praise (as the peace-offerings, Levit. 7.12.) for mercies obtained, Psal. 107.22. With relation unto these, the Church here, having prayed for forgiveness of sin, and for the obtaining of blessings, doth hereupon, for the farther enforcement of those petitions, promise to offer the peace-offerings of praise, not in the naked and empty ceremony, but with the spiritual life and substance, viz. the Calves of their lips, which are moved by the inward principles of hearty sincerity and thanksgiving.
