Seeing well-beloved brethren and sisters that now by the bounteous goodness & mercy of God, the most clear and shining light of the Gospel is declared unto us again in this present world, therefore may we right well thank & praise God that he hath wytsafe us to come unto the right understanding & knowledge by the power of his living word: Namely, that we know perfectly now how and after what fashion we ought to praise and to thank God, & how to utter & ⟨image 73⟩declare thankfully our faith, (which neither can, nor ought be sluggish) not only inwardly, but also outwardly, (as David the prophet did) thanking and praising the LORD Jesus with songs and melody: as Paul exhorteth his Coll. iii. to do. For if a man believe from the heart, he shall be made righteous: and if a man knowledge with the mouth, he shall be saved. Rom. x.
