that_o god_n bless_v for_o ever_o have_v be_v marvelous_a kind_n unto_o i_o i_o have_v hear_v and_o feel_v many_o particular_n of_o it_o and_o i_o see_v that_o the_o thought_n of_o it_o be_v of_o

thankfulness_n it_o be_v the_o love_n of_o god_n no_o man_n will_v free_o and_o joyful_o acknowledge_v that_o all_o goodness_n in_o what_o estate_n soever_o come_v from_o god_n alone_o except_o we_o love_v god_n we_o see_v ordinary_o if_o man_n happen_v to_o receive_v kindness_n from_o they_o they_o love_v or_o desire_v not_o to_o be_v behold_v unto_o how_o they_o pinch_v courtesy_n as_o we_o say_v and_o slight_v they_o whereas_o if_o we_o do_v receive_v they_o from_o such_o as_o we_o prize_v in_o our_o affection_n than_o every_o molehill_n be_v a_o mountain_n and_o a_o point_n from_o a_o

have_v for_o life_n yea_o for_o my_o life_n lay_v down_o a_o neck_n yea_o their_o own_o neck_n unto_o who_o not_o only_o i_o give_v thanks_n but_o all_o the_o church_n of_o the_o gentile_n so_o

for_o all_o his_o benefit_n oh_o therefore_o let_v we_o labour_n to_o wind_v up_o our_o heart_n from_o the_o love_n of_o the_o world_n 15._o 1_o john_n 2._o 15._o and_o the_o thing_n which_o be_v in_o the_o world_n that_o the_o love_n of_o the_o father_n may_v be_v in_o us._n and_o if_o we_o desire_v to_o be_v thankful_a let_v we_o not_o give_v either_o god_n or_o our_o soul_n rest_n till_o we_o have_v find_v this_o love_n in_o we_o in_o these_o five_o particular_n first_o in_o take_v any_o pain_n and_o endure_v any_o hardness_n for_o god_n sake_n as_o jacob_n do_v think_v seven_o year_n

child_n for_o christ_n sake_n because_o they_o love_v he_o so_o must_v we_o every_o day_n and_o upon_o the_o lord_n day_n in_o live_v the_o life_n of_o jesus_n and_o die_v for_o the_o lord_n when_o he_o call_v suffer_v any_o thing_n for_o the_o lord_n if_o we_o love_v he_o second_o in_o set_v our_o heart_n towards_o he_o and_o upon_o he_o for_o where_o our_o treasure_n be_v there_o will_v our_o hearet_n be_v also_o 21._o mat._n 6._o 21._o of_o the_o wicked_a man_n the_o psalmist_n say_v that_o god_n be_v not_o in_o all_o his_o thought_n but_o he_o that_o love_v he_o can_v think_v of_o he_o almost_o to_o a_o ecstasy_n as_o when_o david_n say_v oh_o how_o i_o 97._o psal_n 119._o 97._o love_v thy_o law_n he_o present_o add_v it_o be_v my_o meditation_n continual_o so_o when_o we_o can_v say_v that_o we_o love_v god_n our_o thought_n of_o he_o will_v let_v in_o comparison_n of_o other_o thing_n deep_a and_o long_o yea_o we_o will_v think_v upon_o he_o sometime_o in_o the_o night_n

three_o in_o high_o esteem_v the_o pledge_n of_o god_n favour_n which_o he_o have_v leave_v with_o we_o to_o wit_n the_o word_n and_o sacrament_n if_o the_o wound_a jew_n in_o the_o parable_n shall_v
