general_a course_n of_o our_o action_n to_o the_o holy_a will_n and_o command_n of_o god_n but_o actual_a adoration_n which_o be_v to_o be_v the_o subject_a of_o my_o ensue_a discourse_n be_v itself_o a_o peculiar_a and_o solemn_a part_n of_o divine_a worship_n which_o do_v not_o only_o consist_v in_o a_o open_a recitation_n of_o hymn_n and_o spiritual_a song_n but_o also_o in_o a_o silent_a exultation_n of_o our_o faculty_n and_o a_o religious_a warmth_n of_o soul_n wrought_v by_o heavenly_a object_n now_o there_o be_v many_o word_n and_o phrase_n in_o holy_a scripture_n especial_o in_o this_o book_n of_o psalm_n which_o be_v often_o use_v to_o express_v the_o same_o duty_n of_o blessing_n or_o praise_v the_o lord_n and_o though_o they_o be_v promiscuous_o insert_v as_o certain_o they_o ought_v to_o be_v either_o in_o popular_a or_o poetic_a write_n yet_o be_v they_o many_o of_o they_o of_o peculiar_a limitation_n and_o significancy_n which_o be_v somewhat_o state_v and_o explain_v may_v serve_v to_o establish_v a_o full_a and_o easy_a notion_n of_o what_o in_o my_o follow_a discourse_n i_o shall_v make_v more_o copious_a and_o less_o nice_a reflection_n wherefore_o our_o most_o humble_a and_o worthy_a apprehension_n our_o sincere_a devout_a resentment_n of_o the_o divine_a perfection_n be_v necessary_o require_v to_o constitute_v the_o invisible_a adoration_n of_o the_o heart_n and_o soul_n and_o spirit_n which_o from_o its_o vital_a and_o inward_a heat_n be_v continual_o display_v itself_o into_o great_a variety_n of_o external_n evidence_n according_a to_o the_o diversity_n of_o those_o object_n about_o which_o it_o be_v immediate_o conversant_a so_o that_o we_o may_v be_v say_v to_o praise_v the_o lord_n when_o we_o declare_v his_o free_a and_o most_o excellent_a work_n of_o mercy_n and_o justice_n of_o creation_n and_o providence_n to_o magnify_v and_o adore_v he_o when_o we_o set_v forth_o his_o incommunicable_a and_o natural_a excellency_n such_o as_o his_o omnipotence_n immensity_n etc._n etc._n which_o joint_o consider_v with_o his_o universal_a dominion_n and_o sovereignty_n over_o all_o creature_n may_v seem_v to_o signify_v all_o that_o we_o mean_v by_o the_o glorious_a majesty_n of_o god_n we_o may_v be_v say_v to_o bless_v the_o lord_n by_o our_o wish_n and_o word_n and_o be_v the_o good_a we_o wish_v be_v extrinsic_a to_o his_o nature_n and_o not_o yet_o obtain_v as_o that_o the_o whole_a world_n may_v be_v convert_v and_o fear_v his_o name_n etc._n etc._n we_o must_v be_v sure_a to_o bless_v he_o with_o our_o endeavour_n too_o but_o chief_o this_o blessing_n be_v effect_v by_o our_o most_o solemn_a gratulation_n for_o see_v we_o can_v confer_v any_o real_a good_a on_o god_n we_o must_v continual_o express_v our_o joy_n and_o gladness_n for_o his_o actual_a possession_n of_o all_o possible_a perfection_n to_o worship_v he_o usual_o denote_v a_o most_o humble_a posture_n of_o body_n

his_o tongue_n his_o glory_n awake_v thou_o my_o glory_n thanksgiving_n be_v a_o open_a profession_n and_o a_o hearty_a acknowledgement_n that_o we_o have_v receive_v a_o benefit_n most_o free_o and_o without_o any_o merit_n of_o our_o own_o adoration_n and_o thanksgiving_n seem_v to_o differ_v in_o these_o respect_n we_o adore_v god_n for_o thing_n that_o be_v act_v long_o ago_o which_o concern_v not_o we_o any_o more_o than_o that_o they_o be_v the_o effect_n of_o his_o omnipotence_n as_o for_o all_o the_o wonder_v do_v in_o the_o behalf_n of_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n thanksgiving_n
