of_o this_o day_n then_o let_v we_o serious_o consider_v what_o a_o weight_n of_o duty_n lie_v upon_o we_o and_o how_o we_o ought_v to_o transcend_v and_o to_o exceed_v in_o our_o return_n to_o god_n again_o believe_v it_o brethren_n ordinary_a matter_n will_v not_o serve_v the_o turn_n as_o god_n have_v do_v more_o for_o we_o so_o he_o must_v have_v more_o from_o we_o then_o from_o any_o other_o people_n we_o must_v do_v singular_a and_o extraordinary_a thing_n if_o he_o exceed_v in_o mercy_n we_o must_v according_o exceed_v in_o duty_n there_o must_v be_v some_o proportion_n of_o the_o one_o

some_o memorial_n answerable_a to_o it_o as_o for_o ourselves_o my_o brethren_n we_o must_v engrave_v it_o on_o our_o heart_n and_o keep_v a_o register_n of_o all_o the_o mercy_n that_o concur_v in_o

without_o weight_n 1_o chron._n 22.14_o so_o though_o we_o can_v reckon_v all_o the_o mercy_n of_o the_o lord_n his_o daily_a and_o his_o hourly_a mercy_n because_o indeed_o they_o be_v without_o

must_v not_o be_v forget_v by_o we_o and_o yet_o this_o be_v not_o all_o my_o berthren_a we_o must_v not_o only_o keep_v these_o rare_a and_o extraordinary_a mercy_n in_o our_o mind_n ourselves_o but_o we_o must_v take_v some_o course_n that_o other_o may_v be_v mindful_a of_o they_o and_o that_o while_o the_o world_n last_v that_o the_o lord_n may_v have_v his_o glory_n keep_v afoot_a in_o follow_v age_n a_o duty_n much_o commend_v to_o we_o in_o the_o scripture_n upon_o such_o occasion_n when_o god_n have_v wrought_v a_o great_a salvation_n for_o his_o people_n israel_n moses_n command_v they_o to_o write_v a_o song_n and_o to_o teach_v it_o to_o their_o child_n that_o it_o may_v be_v a_o witness_n for_o the_o lord_n against_o they_o viz._n if_o they_o shall_v prove_v

shall_v be_v create_v shall_v praise_v the_o lord_n indeed_o there_o be_v a_o ordinance_n of_o the_o high_a court_n of_o heaven_n to_o this_o purpose_n psal_n 78.5_o he_o appoint_v a_o law_n in_o

beloved_a let_v we_o think_v upon_o it_o let_v we_o indevor_n to_o perpetuate_v the_o praise_n of_o god_n let_v we_o use_v some_o mean_n or_o other_o to_o transmit_v it_o to_o posterity_n to_o make_v

brethren_n we_o have_v a_o great_a task_n in_o this_o kind_n we_o have_v very_o much_o to_o do_v because_o the_o lord_n have_v do_v so_o much_o true_o i_o think_v that_o there_o be_v never_o any_o generation_n that_o have_v such_o a_o weight_n of_o duty_n lay_v upon_o they_o it_o be_v the_o say_n of_o a_o wiseman_n that_o troublesome_a time_n be_v good_a for_o the_o writer_n &_o ill_a for_o the_o liver_n he_o that_o live_v in_o they_o shall_v have_v sorrow_n enough_o he_o that_o write_v of_o they_o shall_v have_v matter_n enough_o &_o certain_o these_o time_n of_o we_o yield_v matter_n of_o transmission_n to_o succeed_a generation_n more_o than_o any_o former_a age_n let_v we_o take_v care_n as_o much_o as_o lie_v in_o we_o that_o nothing_o be_v lose_v not_o a_o scrap_n of_o any_o

undiminisht_v to_o follow_a age_n that_o the_o generation_n that_o be_v yet_o to_o come_v may_v praise_v the_o lord_n and_o to_o this_o end_n i_o shall_v set_v before_o you_o two_o thing_n 1._o god_n will_v be_v a_o gainer_n by_o it_o alas_o my_o brethren_n it_o be_v little_a glory_n we_o can_v bring_v he_o in_o ourselves_o and_o in_o our_o own_o time_n if_o we_o shall_v spend_v all_o our_o day_n in_o praise_v he_o they_o be_v short_a and_o will_v be_v do_v upon_o the_o sudden_a but_o if_o we_o can_v take_v course_n that_o all_o the_o generation_n that_o be_v yet_o to_o come_v shall_v praise_v he_o for_o the_o mercy_n which_o we_o have_v receive_v as_o long_o as_o the_o world_n last_v this_o will_v be_v a_o great_a advantage_n and_o true_o if_o we_o love_v he_o &_o be_v affect_v with_o his_o mercy_n as_o we_o ought_v to_o be_v we_o will_v endeavour_v what_o we_o can_v to_o raise_v and_o to_o advance_v the_o little_a tribute_n of_o

glory_n and_o thanksgiving_n which_o he_o be_v like_a to_o have_v among_o we_o after_o so_o many_o rich_a and_o precious_a favour_n heap_v upon_o we_o and_o see_v we_o ourselves_o who_o have_v receive_v so_o much_o can_v pay_v so_o little_a we_o will_v be_v so_o honest_a yet_o to_o charge_v our_o heir_n with_o what_o be_v come_v from_o we_o to_o the_o lord_n and_o even_o as_o david_n lay_v a_o tax_n on_o all_o nation_n all_o angel_n all_o creature_n to_o come_v in_o and_o to_o attribute_v what_o they_o can_v to_o the_o praise_n of_o the_o lord_n so_o we_o will_v lay_v a_o tax_n on_o all_o succeed_a generation_n while_o the_o world_n continue_v that_o god_n may_v not_o lose_v all_o but_o that_o he_o may_v in_o some_o proportion_n have_v the_o glory_n that_o be_v due_a unto_o his_o name_n 2._o succeed_v generation_n will_v be_v gainer_n by_o it_o too_o i_o think_v the_o prophet_n mention_n it_o as_o advantage_n and_o privilege_n to_o they_o of_o those_o time_n psal_n 44.1_o we_o have_v hear_v with_o our_o ear_n o_o god_n our_o father_n have_v tell_v we_o what_o work_v thou_o do_v in_o their_o day_n &_o in_o the_o time_n of_o old_a he_o seem_v to_o be_v affect_v very_o much_o with_o the_o relation_n and_o true_o my_o beloved_a it_o may_v be_v very_o beneficial_a to_o after_o age_n to_o be_v acquaint_v with_o the_o work_n of_o god_n to_o know_v what_o he_o have_v do_v in_o
