second_o when_o you_o have_v thankfulness_n wrought_v the_o heart_n unto_o a_o good_a will_n to_o be_v thankful_a then_o sh●nne_v the_o impediment_n thereunto_o among_o many_o take_v heed_n especial_o of_o these_o 1_o ignorance_n 2_o pride_n 3_o forgetfulness_n 4_o doubt_v of_o god_n love_n 5_o over-eager_a affection_n to_o the_o benefit_n receive_v especial_o to_o such_o as_o be_v temporal_a first_o if_o you_o be_v ignorant_a of_o the_o excellency_n and_o worth_n of_o good_a thing_n bestow_v or_o i●_n you_o misprise_n thing_n prefer_v natural_a temporal_a or_o common_a gift_n before_o

proud_a and_o high_o conceit_v of_o your_o worth_n and_o good_a deserve_n you_o will_v expect_v great_a matter_n than_o god_n will_v think_v fit_a to_o give_v as_o 12._o na●man_n do_v before_o he_o

he_o say_v 2_o forget_v not_o all_o his_o benefit_n four_o suppose_v that_o you_o know_v well_o the_o worth_n of_o the_o gift_n and_o do_v judge_v yourself_o less_o than_o it_o and_o remember_v well_o that_o you_o receive_v it_o of_o god_n yet_o if_o through_o doubt_v of_o god_n love_n and_o through_o misbelief_n you_o think_v that_o god_n do_v not_o give_v it_o to_o you_o in_o love_n and_o mercy_n but_o in_o wrath_n as_o he_o give_v 11_o israel_n a_o king_n your_o heart_n will_v sink_v and_o be_v so_o clog_v with_o this_o fear_n that_o you_o can_v raise_v it_o up_o to_o thanks_n for_o any_o gift_n which_o you_o conceive_v to_o be_v so_o give_v five_o suppose_v that_o you_o quit_v yourself_o of_o all_o the_o former_a impediment_n yet_o if_o you_o be_v over-eager_o affect_v with_o the_o gift_n you_o will_v in_o a_o kind_n of_o over-ioyednesse_a be_v so_o take_v up_o with_o it_o that_o as_o little_a child_n when_o their_o parent_n give_v they_o sweetmeat_n or_o such_o thing_n as_o
