3. We are deeply obliged to think on God. 1. God is our maker, Psalm 100.3. It is he that hath made us, and not we our selves. Our bodies are Gods curious needle work, Psalm 139.15. And as God hath wrought the Cabinet, so he hath put a Jewel in it, the Precious Soul. Hath God made us, ⟨p. 116⟩and shall not we think of him? 2. God hath sweetened our Lives with Various Mercies. The city of Syracuse in Sicily was so curiously situated, that the Sun was never out of sight: God hath so placed us by his Providence, that the Sun-shine of Mercy is never out of sight. We are Bemiracled with Mercy; Mercy feeds us with the Finest of the wheat, the Bread of Life; Mercy guards us with a Guard of Angels; it makes the Rock pour forth Rivers of Oil: and shall not the Stream lead us to the Fountain? shall not we think of the God of our Mercies? this were high Ingratitude.
