and_o submit_v himself_o to_o death_n even_o the_o death_n of_o the_o cross_n for_o your_o sin_n you_o ought_v often_o to_o think_v of_o that_o great_a honour_n you_o have_v receive_v in_o be_v admit_v not_o only_o to_o feast_v with_o god_n and_o christ_n but_o to_o feast_v upon_o christ_n the_o true_a christian_a sacrifice_n in_o a_o word_n you_o ought_v by_o serious_a thought_n and_o meditation_n of_o what_o you_o have_v be_v about_o to_o imprint_v upon_o your_o mind_n a_o due_a sense_n of_o god_n goodness_n and_o thereby_o take_v a_o prospect_n of_o all_o that_o happiness_n which_o you_o either_o do_v enjoy_v or_o may_v obtain_v by_o comply_v with_o and_o be_v obedient_a to_o the_o command_n of_o the_o bless_a jesus_n in_o this_o particular_a 2._o have_v thus_o imprint_v these_o thing_n upon_o your_o mind_n you_o must_v endeavour_v thereby_o to_o work_v it_o into_o a_o humble_a and_o grateful_a frame_n when_o you_o reflect_v upon_o your_o former_a sin_n and_o present_a unworthiness_n you_o will_v find_v cause_n sufficient_a to_o be_v humble_v for_o they_o and_o when_o you_o consider_v god_n greatness_n in_o himself_o and_o his_o goodness_n towards_o you_o you_o will_v find_v good_a reason_n to_o be_v thankful_a for_o the_o favour_n you_o have_v and_o daily_o do_v receive_v from_o he_o let_v it_o be_v your_o care_n therefore_o always_o to_o cherish_v due_a sentiment_n of_o divine_a goodness_n in_o your_o mind_n that_o so_o you_o may_v be_v ready_a upon_o all_o occasion_n to_o praise_n and_o glorify_v his_o great_a and_o holy_a name_n for_o it_o can_v you_o remember_v how_o kind_o you_o have_v be_v invite_v how_o courteous_o receive_v how_o noble_o and_o friendly_o entertain_v by_o the_o bless_a jesus_n and_o yet_o be_v unthankful_a i_o can_v believe_v that_o any_o one_o who_o pretend_v to_o christianity_n can_v so_o far_o forfeit_v his_o religion_n and_o reason_n too_o can_v be_v so_o much_o lose_v to_o all_o the_o sentiment_n of_o piety_n and_o humanity_n at_o once_o as_o to_o be_v guilty_a of_o so_o gross_a ingratitude_n unthankfulness_n in_o divinity_n be_v a_o odious_a crime_n and_o ingratitude_n in_o morality_n be_v no_o

of_o he_o be_v not_o you_o therefore_o guilty_a of_o that_o against_o god_n which_o the_o heathen_a look_v upon_o as_o so_o great_a a_o reproach_n among_o themselves_o consider_v that_o heavy_a

consideration_n of_o god_n so_o deep_a resentment_n of_o this_o crime_n in_o his_o own_o people_n teach_v you_o and_o i_o to_o beware_v of_o it_o let_v we_o recollect_v ourselves_o and_o call_v to_o

that_o so_o our_o mind_n may_v be_v always_o ready_a to_o make_v grateful_a acknowledgement_n thereof_o 3._o when_o by_o these_o or_o the_o like_a meditation_n you_o have_v wrought_v your_o mind_n

solemn_o renew_v our_o covenant_n and_o do_v thereby_o engage_v ourselves_o to_o perform_v the_o condition_n thereof_o to_o sum_v up_o all_o in_o a_o word_n therefore_o if_o you_o will_v know_v what_o
