unto thy Name give praise for thy loving mercy and for thy truths sake Nor must we think it sufficient to draw near thus unto God with our mouths and to honour him with our lips to give him only a verbal acknowledgment no we must demonstrate our gratitude to be real and substantial by making that return which he chiefly expects in the amendment of our Lives and Conversations according to the instruction of the Prophet Micah He hath shewn thee O man such things as be good and now what doth the Lord require of thee but to do justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with thy God But Secondly We must testifie our gratitude for these Deliverances by Loyalty and Obedience to their present Majesties the blessed Objects of some of these Mercies and the happy Instruments of all the others and having rendered unto God the things that are God's we must also render unto Coesar the things which be Coesars Nor indeed can we without the highest dis-respect to God himself be wanting in our Duty to two such Princes whom he has so signally declared to be His King and Queen Now this Obedience must be expressed by a due Recognition of their just Authority by Prayers and Supplications offered up in their behalf by a decent and respectful Behaviour towards them and by Reverent Expressions in relation to them but chiefly and especially by a hearty and vigorous Assistance of them both with our Lives and Fortunes for the compleating those great Deliverances which God through them has so happily begun Thirdly We must testifie our Gratitude for these Deliverances by Love and Assection one towards another the mutual sharers and partakers of them Behold how good and joyful a thing it is for Brethren to dwell together in Unity Let us in the name of God lay aside all manner of rancour and malice all unseemly heats and animosities all odious names of Parties and of Factions Let brotherly love continue and the only Contention amongst us be who shall most Zealously serve his God who shall most Vigorously assist his Prince and who shall most Cordially affect each other Thus as St. Peter advises Let us add to our godliness brotherly kindness and to brotherly kindness charity And therefore Fourthly and Lastly We must testifie our gratitude for these Deliverances by shewing Charity to our distressed Brethren It is the most natural Return of Thankfulness to Almighty God for rescuing us from our Distresses when we endeavour to Copy out that great Original by relieving as far as we can the necessities of others For can we be truly thankful for Mercies and not love that God from whom we have received them And he that says he loves God and hates that is relieves not his brother is a liar says the Apostle and the truth is not in him In a word a grateful Return must be made in such a manner as we know is well-pleasing and acceptable to God and therefore to do good and to distribute we must not forget for with such Sacrifices God is well-pleased To him the Father Son and Holy Ghost three Persons but One God of Mercy be ascribed all Honour Glory and Thanksgiving for the manifold Blessings which he has conferred upon us all and for the great Deliverance which he has given to his King FINIS Some Books Printed for and sold by Samuel Crouch at the Corner of Popes-Head Ally next Cornhil FOLIO RVshworth's Collections The Life Reign and Death of Edward II.
