Consider but this Reason, if you want this, alas, we can never be thankful 1to God for any thing; if by the Spirit we have not assurance that our state is the state of grace; for otherwise we might think that God gives us all in anger, as a etrnal man, he always fears that God fats him as an ox to the slaughter: what a fearful case is this, that a man cannot be thankful for that he hath!

Labour for the Spirit, that we may be thankful to God for every thing, that we may see the love of God in every thing, in every refreshing we take; that that love of God that fits us for heaven, and that fits heaven for us, it gives us daily bread: the Earnest of the Spirit will make us thankful for every thing.
