But then secondly, Be greatly thankful, O be greatly thankful for the great Gifts that Christ hath bestowed upon you.
But then secondly, Be greatly thankefull, O be greatly thankefull for the great Gifts that Christ hath bestowed upon you.
It's not a little thankfulness that will answer and suite to the great Gifts that the Lord Jesus hath bestowed upon you. 1O say with the Psalmist, What shall I render to the Lord for all his favours, and great benefits: I will take the cup of salvation, and will call upon the name of the Lord. Yea say again 2with the same Psalmist, I will yet praise thee more and more: Or as 'tis in the Hebrew, I will add to thy praise. Oh when thou lookest upon the Jewels, the Pearls that Christ hath given thee, say, Lord I will praise thee more and more▪ I will rise higher and higher in thy praises, I will be still a adding to thy praise. The very Law of Nature bespeaks great thankfulness, where great favours are given; and the Law of Custom bespeaks it, and doth not the Law of grace bespeak it much more?
