the Lord heard him and saved him out of all his troubles Let us then shut up all with a Form of Praise wherein we may all joyn and every one of us bear a part and I am sure there is not any one of this whole Congregation that will not be particularly and personally concern'd WE praise thee O God we acknowledge thee to be the Lord. All the world doth worship thee the Father Everlasting Heaven and earth are full of thy glory Thou dost whatsoever thou pleasest both in heaven and in earth and yet dost by thy Providence order all events as to thy own glory so to the good and advantage of the children of men Thou madest all things for the use of man and man himself for thine own service We bless thee for thy works of Creation O Lord how manifold are thy works in great wisdom and out of great goodness hast thou made them all The heavens declare thy glory and the earth is full of thy goodness We stand obliged as we are thy creatures and the work of thy hands to do thee homage and to pay thee the tribute of Praise together with all thy works which bless thee in all places of thy dominion Especially man is bound to praise thee for the dignity of his creation being made little lower then the Angels Thou hast crown'd him with honour and majesty and hast put all things under his feet We bless thee that thou hast made us Men and Women after thine own image in thy likeness and hast breath'd into us the breath of life We will sing unto thee therefore as long as we live we will sing praises unto our God while we have a being That thou hast given us an immortal soul capable of eternal felicity and of a blessed communion with thy self faculties of reason to contemplate the glories of our Maker and of speech to express and set forth thy praises All our members were writ down in thy book when as yet there was none of them thou art our God even from our Mothers womb when we yet hung at the breast thou tookest care of us we have lived at thy charge and been maintain'd by thy providence ever since we were born Oh let us praise the Lord for his goodness and for his wonderful works to the children of men Thou hast all along sent forth thy sun and powr'd down thy rain to provide us our food in due season and all thy steps towards us have dropt fatness Thou hast satisfied our mouth with good things and hast surrounded us with loving kindness and tender mercies Nor have thy preservations over us been less or less constant then thy provisions for us Thou securest us from the casualties of the day and from the terrors of the night Thou art at our uprising and our downlying who keepest us both sleeping and waking and yet thy self neither slumbrest nor sleepest Thou understandest and guardest all our way Day by day we magnifie thee for these thy daily favours We bless thee for preserving us from the perils of our infancy and from the miscariages of our riper years Then when we were not able to help our selves thou tookest us up setst thy Angel-guardians about us who continually behold thy face and didst graciously preserve us from those inconveniencies which either the negligence of those about us or our own infirmity or the condition of humane nature might have expos'd us to Since when we were grown up to discretion and were apt enough by our intemperances indiscretions to do our selves mischief 't was thou alone hast kept us from the injuries of weather from the rage of merciless elements from all ill chances and sad accidents from the power of Devils and from the malice of men and from the calamities of ill times and hast often delivered us from the dangers and ill consequents of our own folly even when by presumptuous sins we have put our selves out of thy protection O the unspeakable mercies of a good God which either we have forgot or were never sensible of What is man that thou art so mindful of him or the son of man that thou shouldst so regard us who scarce ever mind or regard thee and those infinite obligations thou hast from time to time laid upon us We thank thee for those early advantages of our Christian education that we were born within the pale of the Church under the sound of the Gospel and not amidst Turks and Heathen people which know not thy name and were betimes by holy Baptism ingrafted into Christ's mystical body O inestimable benefit and that which can never sufficiently be valued though such is our unthankful carriage for this peculiar favour which thou hast denyed to millions of men that deserve it better then we do that we loath thy Word slight thy Ordinances and scoff at thy Ministers and in effect through our peevish ingratitude shew our selves as arrant Turks and Infidels as any of the Turks and Infidels themselves are Further we bless thee for the love of Friends and the care of Tutors which put us upon good courses for the vigour of parts and the integrity of limbs and senses for our health and strength for our peace and plenty for blessings both publick and private personal and national temporal and spiritual For giving us further time and space of repentance that thou hast not cut us off in the strength of our years and the height of our lusts that we are yet on this side hell and the grave yet in a possibility of Salvation and are yet alive to praise thee as we do this day and to speak well of thy name We bless thee for all those opportunities and advantages thou hast so liberally afforded us of serving thee and of saving our own souls that if we miscarry either in this world or the next 't is not thou by thy grace or thy providence hast been wanting to us but we have been wanting both to thee and to our selves Finally we return thee our hearty thanks and praise thy name for all those afflictions thou hast at any time laid upon us and for thy merciful deliverances out of them That when thou hast visited our iniquities and chastn'd us for sin thou hast not dealt with us after our sins nor rewarded us according to our iniquities but hast remembred mercy in the midst of judgment and hast pitied us like as a father pitieth his children for thou knowest our frame thou remembrest that we are but dust That thou hast laid no more upon us at any time then we were inabled by thee well to bear and by thy grace hast supported us in our sufferings and that when thou hast seen fit to put any bitterness into our cup thou hast design'd it for our soul's health and to a spiritual advantage and lastly that together with the temptation thou hast given a gracious and happy issue out of it And here we humbly intreat thee O Father of
