Others have a little meat, and drink, and wages, but thou hast the inheritance. Others, like Jehoshaphat's younger Sons have some Cities, some small matters given them, but thou like the first born, hast the Kingdom, the Crown of glory; others feed on bare elements, thou hast the Sacrament; others stand without doors, and thou art admitted into the presence Chamber; others must fry eternally in Hell flames, and thou must enjoy fullness of joy for evermore. O give thanks unto the Lord, for he is good, for his mercy endureth for ever. To him that chose thee before the foundation of the World, for his mercy endureth for ever. To him that called thee by the word of his grace, for his mercy, &c. To him that gave his only Son to dye for thy sins, for his mercy, &c. To him that entered into a Covenant of grace with thee, for his mercy endureth for ever. To him that ⟨p. 322⟩hath provided for thee an exceeding and eternal weight of glory; for his mercy endureth for ever. O give thanks unto the Lord, for he is good, for his mercy endureth for ever.
