Secondly, Consider this, That all your wants and miseries are deserved and procured by your own sins. Jer. 4. 18. Thy way and thy doings have procured these things unto thee, this is thy wickedness, because it is bitter, because it reacheth 1unto thy heart. And Chap. 50. 25. Your iniquities have turned away these things, and your sins have with-holden good things from you. But now all your mercies are unmerited, and undeserved, they all flow in upon you from the free love and favour of God; and therefore there's more need of praises, then of prayers. And oh! that the high praises of God were more in your mouths, upon this very account! And oh that with David, you would summon all the faculties of your souls to praise the Lord, who hath freely filled you, and followed 2you with the riches of mercy, all your days!
