First because our nature is like the hors●eech still it cryes give give Pro. 30. 15. Secondly because there is more selfe-love in prayer but thankfulnesse is more contrary to selfe-love 2 Tim. 3. 2. Thirdly because our hearts are apt to love the blessing more then God the giver of it the pleasure more then God the bestower of it verse 4.

Gamaliel a meere civill man yet when he did but pleasure the Apostles a little it is registred as a mercy Act. 5. 34. the Barbarians making a warme fire for the Apostle is related as a kindnesse Act. 28. 2. for God is glorified thereby when the people did but wonder at the Word as any of Gods works this is a glory unto God Math. 9. 8. and therefore they are wretched First who have not grace nor goodnesse for we cannot give thanks
