neither seek nor ask after him and at the best 〈◊〉 return nothing to him again but some poor words or thoughts which bear no commensuration to those real infinite mercies which we receive from him Can a man be profitable unto God Is it any benefit to the Almighty that thou art righteous Or is it gain to him th●t thou makest thy ways perfect Lord what is man that thou art mindful of him or the son of man that thou visitest him Behold I am lesse then the least of thy mercies Now the vileness unworthines of the receiver may be another argument to set forth the greatness of the gift 3. From their Continuance The mercy of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him He had thoughts of love to us before ever the world was made and his mercy endureth for ever till time shall be no more His favour is renued to us eve●y moment and that notwithstanding our continual provocations against him From these and the like considerations we should labour to affect our souls with wonder and thanks to quicken and raise up our hearts in offering up unto God the sacrifice of praise that we may come before his throne with Halelujahs loud voices of joy and thankfulnesse 2. The Particular amplification of mercies from their Circumstances Degrees Contraries hath been touched upon already in the Enumeration of their several kindes and acts of favour to which the arguments of this kinde may be properly annexed The conclusion should consist of some brief affectionate Doxologies which may both expresse and excite our love and confidence such are those Scripture-expressions My mouth shall shew forth thy righteousnesse salvation all the day long for I know no end thereof Blessed be the Lord God of Israel who only doth wondrous things and blessed be his glorious name for ever and let the whole earth be filled with his glory Amen Amen While I live will I praise the Lord I will sing praises to my God whilest I have any being I will extoll thee O God my King and I will blesse thy name for ever and ever Every day will I blesse thee and praise thy name for ever and ever Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we can ask or think according to the power that worketh in us unto him be glory in the Church of Christ Jesus throughout all ages world without end Amen Blessing and honour and glory and power and salvation and thanksgiving be unto the Lord our God for ever and ever FINIS Acts 6.4 Heb. 5.14 * Abba Father a Holy Incense b De Precatione Guil.
