Ingratus est qui Beneficium accepisse se negat quod accepit ingratus est qui dissimulat ingratus qui non reddit ingratissimus Omnium qui oblitus est That Man is ungrateful that denies a Benefit received and so is He that dissembles it nor is he any better that doth not requite it but he is most of all that hath forgot it GOD by no means will admit that his Mercies should be writ in Sand to be washt away by the next coming in of the Tide but expects they should be thankfully had in remembrance Let us not therefore look upon Publick Mercies as we do upon Publick Duties That which is Every mans work is no mans but let us rejoyce in the Good of GOD's Chosen and glory with his Inheritance And since this bitter Cup is past from us let us take the Cup of Salvation and praise the Name of the Lord.
