wherein_o the_o soul_n abound_v in_o they_o 1._o the_o soul_n prosper_v when_o it_o be_v full_a of_o praise_n to_o god_n so_o keep_v from_o day_n to_o day_n under_o the_o law_n of_o thankfulness_n that_o it_o abound_v in_o thanksgiving_n to_o god_n col._n 2.7_o abound_v therein_o with_o thanksgiving_n it_o be_v possible_a some_o may_v think_v otherwise_o that_o this_o be_v no_o such_o great_a matter_n but_o let_v these_o follow_v particular_n be_v due_o consider_v and_o i_o hope_v you_o will_v acknowledge_v it_o to_o be_v as_o i_o say_v consider_v then_o 1._o though_o it_o be_v true_a that_o there_o be_v some_o solemn_a season_n which_o call_v for_o solemn_a praise_n when_o god_n have_v abound_v in_o the_o expression_n of_o his_o love_n to_o we_o and_o fatherly_a care_n for_o we_o in_o some_o special_a favour_n bestow_v upon_o we_o give_v we_o to_o experience_n the_o truth_n of_o what_o david_n find_v psal_n 31.7_o i_o will_v rejoice_v and_o be_v glad_a in_o thy_o mercy_n for_o thou_o have_v consider_v my_o trouble_n and_o know_v my_o soul_n in_o adversity_n though_o i_o say_v this_o be_v true_a yet_o we_o be_v under_o express_a obligation_n to_o make_v it_o part_n and_o a_o

as_o isa_n 22.12_o yet_o the_o sad_a hour_n that_o the_o all-disposing_a providence_n of_o the_o most_o wise_a god_n bring_v we_o into_o bring_v no_o discharge_n from_o this_o duty_n neither_o need_v we_o look_v for_o it_o for_o these_o two_o duty_n be_v very_o well_o consistent_a together_o otherwise_o we_o may_v be_v sure_a that_o god_n who_o give_v a_o command_n sometime_o to_o mourn_v will_v never_o have_v give_v we_o a_o command_n always_o to_o rejoice_v if_o these_o two_o have_v be_v contrary_a one_o to_o another_o and_o beside_o even_o in_o those_o day_n when_o divine_a dispensation_n call_v for_o mourning_n when_o thing_n go_v most_o cross_a to_o our_o desire_n and_o affection_n yet_o we_o have_v matter_n of_o thanksgiving_n if_o it_o be_v but_o for_o this_o that_o it_o be_v never_o so_o bad_a with_o we_o but_o it_o may_v be_v worse_o paul_n acknowledge_v this_o to_o be_v a_o mercy_n that_o he_o have_v less_o cause_n of_o sorrow_n than_o he_o may_v have_v have_v phil._n 2.27_o for_o indeed_o he_o be_v sick_a nigh_o unto_o death_n but_o god_n have_v mercy_n on_o he_o and_o not_o on_o he_o only_o but_o on_o i_o also_o lest_o i_o shall_v have_v sorrow_n upon_o sorrow_n
