Wherein doth this feast consist?
The scope and drift of it is, to rejoice before the Lord; and to show our selves thankful for the benefit received: not only in that we are delivered; but that we are delivered by prayer we have made unto God; whereby our joy increaseth, and whereby it differeth from the joy of the wicked, which rejoice that they are delivered, as well as we.

How must that be best performed?
Partly by outward and bodily exercises; and partly by exercises of the mind.
