a_o strong_a argument_n of_o our_o be_v in_o a_o present_a estate_n of_o grace_n and_o of_o our_o title_n unto_o a_o future_a estate_n of_o glory_n 1_o it_o be_v a_o strong_a argument_n of_o our_o be_v in_o a_o present_a estate_n of_o grace_n because_o a_o sure_a evidence_n of_o our_o sincerity_n and_o spiritual_a ingenuity_n first_o of_o our_o sincerity_n flesh_n and_o blood_n nature_n base_a self-love_n may_v put_v we_o on_o a_o kind_n of_o mercenary_a petition_n which_o may_v be_v consistent_a with_o the_o very_a depth_n of_o hypocrisy_n for_o in_o they_o our_o suppose_a and_o desire_v good_a take_v the_o upper_a hand_n of_o god_n glory_n now_o thanksgiving_n be_v a_o selfe-denying_a grace_n that_o give_v god_n glory_n the_o supremacy_n in_o all_o our_o thought_n desire_n aim_n and_o proposal_n and_o therefore_o proceed_v from_o the_o great_a height_n and_o perfection_n of_o of_o grace_n that_o be_v attainable_a in_o this_o life_n it_o be_v second_o a_o sure_a evidence_n of_o our_o spiritual_a ingenuity_n even_o staff_n will_v beg_v when_o the_o whip_n be_v shake_v over_o they_o servile_a disposition_n may_v by_o extremity_n be_v drag_v unto_o petition_n whereas_o thanksgiving_n be_v a_o freewill_n offer_v not_o wring_v from_o we_o by_o our_o want_n or_o necessity_n we_o be_v draw_v unto_o it_o only_o by_o the_o coard_n of_o a_o man_n by_o the_o bond_n of_o

thanksgiving_n be_v a_o strong_a proof_n of_o our_o titleunto_o a_o future_a estate_n of_o glory_n than_o the_o prayer_n of_o petition_n for_o it_o be_v a_o principal_a work_n and_o worship_n of_o heaven_n and_o can_v we_o have_v a_o better_a argument_n to_o assure_v we_o that_o we_o shall_v go_v to_o heaven_n when_o we_o leave_v the_o earth_n than_o our_o love_n and_o performance_n of_o the_o

never_o be_v exclude_v from_o heaven_n last_o thanksgiving_n be_v more_o honourable_a than_o petition_n and_o that_o for_o these_o follow_a reason_n 1._o it_o outstrip_v it_o in_o reference_n to_o its_o end_n god_n glory_n unto_o which_o it_o look_v more_o and_o contribute_v more_o than_o petition_n it_o look_v more_o to_o god_n glory_n then_o petition_n because_o it_o look_v only_o unto_o '_o
