learn_v then_o by_o look_v into_o those_o that_o have_v be_v thankful_a unto_o god_n in_o the_o scripture_n now_o these_o have_v perform_v a_o real_a thankfulness_n unto_o god_n two_o way_n first_o by_o study_v and_o care_v in_o what_o particular_n they_o may_v show_v themselves_o thankful_a unto_o god_n as_o one_o that_o have_v receive_v a_o great_a kindness_n do_v bethink_v himself_o how_o he_o may_v in_o some_o measure_n requite_v it_o so_o will_v he_o that_o be_v thankful_a do_v as_o 11._o 2._o cor._n 7._o 11._o the_o penitent_a man_n care_v for_o the_o remission_n of_o his_o sin_n and_o eternal_a happiness_n by_o christ_n and_o therefore_o care_v also_o to_o use_n mean_v answerable_a thereunto_o so_o do_v also_o the_o true_o thankful_a person_n see_v it_o in_o david_n who_o have_v receive_v a_o great_a kindness_n from_o god_n say_v what_o shall_v i_o 12._o psal_n 116._o 12._o give_v unto_o the_o lord_n as_o if_o he_o do_v consult_v and_o take_v care_n with_o himself_o how_o to_o be_v thankful_a to_o god_n even_o thus_o must_v it_o be_v with_o we_o we_o must_v when_o we_o be_v by_o ourselves_o alone_o take_v think_v and_o care_n what_o to_o do_v wherein_o we_o may_v show_v ourselves_o thankful_a to_o god_n as_o a_o man_n roll_v every_o stone_n and_o take_v think_v how_o to_o live_v and_o bear_v about_o the_o world_n as_o we_o say_v so_o must_v all_o of_o we_o who_o god_n have_v please_v to_o deliver_v from_o these_o dangerous_a time_n either_o by_o heal_v our_o sore_n or_o by_o keep_v we_o from_o infection_n or_o by_o comfort_v our_o heart_n against_o the_o fear_n of_o our_o enemy_n either_o at_o home_n or_o abroad_o say_v and_o think_v with_o himself_o o_o lord_n what_o shall_v i_o do_v how_o shall_v i_o carry_v myself_o in_o my_o thought_n word_n

must_v study_v but_o we_o must_v not_o there_o leave_v this_o be_v but_o like_o a_o dash_n of_o rain_n which_o wet_v not_o to_o the_o root_n therefore_o answerable_a to_o our_o care_n and_o study_v we_o must_v in_o the_o second_o place_n take_v pain_n to_o show_v our_o thankfulness_n in_o four_o particular_n first_o we_o must_v register_v the_o noble_a act_n of_o god_n according_a to_o that_o of_o the_o psalm_n this_o shall_v be_v write_v for_o the_o generation_n to_o come_v hence_o be_v it_o that_o the_o patriarch_n erect_v 18._o psal_n 102._o 18._o mountain_n build_a altar_n and_o impose_v fit_a name_n upon_o their_o child_n that_o they_o may_v in_o these_o thing_n register_v the_o kindness_n of_o god_n unto_o they_o therefore_o as_o ahashuerosh_n do_v cause_v his_o

have_v receive_v one_o evidence_n of_o his_o love_n and_o yesterday_o thou_o do_v receive_v another_o we_o may_v not_o only_o practice_v a_o duty_n of_o thankfulness_n in_o it_o but_o provoke_v

god_n mercy_n that_o he_o may_v be_v thankful_a second_o we_o must_v hearty_o labour_v the_o good_a of_o other_o for_o can_v we_o requite_v god_n himself_o we_o can_v do_v it_o our_o 16._o psal_n 16._o goodness_n reach_v not_o to_o he_o only_o he_o please_v to_o interpret_v some_o service_n which_o he_o require_v as_o thankful_a requital_n to_o himself_o among_o which_o this_o be_v one_o to_o do_v good_a to_o other_o now_o this_o we_o must_v do_v by_o way_n of_o thankfulness_n unto_o god_n both_o unto_o their_o soul_n and_o body_n as_o for_o their_o soul_n we_o must_v labour_v their_o
