Fourthly who take the praise and glory of any good unto themselves as Herod the praise of his eloquence Acts 12.23 Neither God nor their brethren but themselves must be magnified whereas the godly have ever been carefull to put it off from themselves saying Not unto us O Lord not unto us but unto thy Name give glory for thy mercy and for thy truths sake Psal 115.1 Consider for motives to thankfulnesse First that the Lord looks for the honour of his great works as that the cleansed Leapers should returne unto him It is his will in Christ Jesus concerning us 1 Thes 5.18 Secondly whereas he loseth his praises among an unbeleeving and carnall generation it is fit he should find it among his faithfull ones He inhabits the praises of Israel Psal 22.3 if there were not some that mind him in his ways he should lose the praise of his great works altogether Thirdly it is not onely the imployment of Saints on earth but o● the Saints and Angels in Heaven day and night singing Hallelujah to him that sits on the throne Revel 4.8 and certainly our life is neerest to perfection when it is neerest to the life of Heaven Fourthly it is due unto God as any mony is due from one man to another and in honesty ought to be paid 2 Cor. 8.21 Provide for honest things not onely in the sight of the Lord but in the sight of men Beware of an arrest from the High Court of Heaven Fiftly it is an honest and holy policy to get more at the hands of God namely if he shall see us unthankfull for former favours as also among men thankfulnesse for old good turnes inviteth new And consider Christians we need now a Crowne to be set upon the great works already done for us even the top-stone of the building We are not yet in Canaan But wherein standeth the due thankfulnesse First in respect of God to be drawne up by these his works to a closer and neerer communion with him to fall often into ravishing admirations of him and of his free love to us to delight our selves in him love him feare him honour him trust in him for time to come to wait better upon him without distraction and serve him in truth with all our heart considering how great things he hath done for us 1 Sam. 12.24 All being purposely done to lead us neerer to himselfe and he is better and greater then any of his works whatever they be And the time will be that himselfe will be left to us to be all in all for our blessednesse the Temple and the Light Rev. 21.22 23. Secondly in respect of his great works About which we read of divers acts of holy men as first To have pleasure in them Psal 111.2 As the Lord hath pleasure in the prosperity of his servants so his servants have pleasure in him and in his mercifull dealings with them secondly To seek them out ibid. that they may know and be acquainted with them particularly It sufficeth not to heare of them by the by but they will hearken after them Eli sate by the way side to heare what was become of the Army thirdly to observe them as things they meane to record and make an holy use of them Psal 107.43 Who so is wise and will observe those things even they shall understand the loving kindnesse of the Lord People love to goe forth to see some great pomp or Pageant that passeth by but the works of God are matters of weight and substance fourthly to prize them as comming from a precious love and counsell of peace by Christ who did greater things for them and intends to doe more Psal 139.17 How precious are thy thoughts unto me O God! and this is the best way to breed a reall thankfulnesse not the having but prizing of mercies fiftly to think and meditate on them at times with ravishing thoughts as men more then Conquerours through Christ and enabled to triumph in him over all our enemies Psal 92.4 5. Thou Lord hast made me glad through thy worke I will triumph in the works of thy hands O Lord how great are thy works and thy thoughts are very deep At first we consider them but slightly but this chewing the cud will make a perfecter digestion Sixtly to Remember and have them still in readinesse for quickning of thankfulnesse and other holy uses above mentioned Psal 105.5 Remember his mervailous works that he hath done his wonders and the judgements of his mouth Memory is the treasury of the soule fit to lay up such Jewels Seventhly to speak of them severally so far as we can that others may be edified and excited unto thankfulnesse and our children after us may preserve the memory of them from one Generation to another Psal 145.6 7. Men shall speak of the might of thy terrible acts and I will declare thy greatnesse they shall abundantly utter the memory of thy great goodnesse and shall sing of thy righteousnesse If ye instance in these times tell of Edge-hill Marston-moore Naseby Routen-heath and other Victories and all that power glory wisdom mercy justice and truth which the Lord hath caused to passe before us Tell of a great enemy subdued great prisoners taken great Garrisons received great store of Armes and Ammunition yeelded up Tell of hellish and desperate plots most happily prevented Tell of courage in Souldiers faithfulnesse in Sea-men feare melting and chasing our enemis refreshment to the weary parts of the Kingdome feares of evil almost come to an end hopes of speciall blessings which the Lord hath in store for us and how in these Countries we have escaped the miseries of war which our Brethren have endured Tell of Noble Leaders whom God hath raised and blessed to be instruments of our good of our excellent Parliament of our ever to be honoured Brethren of Scotland of loving and free-hearted Londoners of Forreigners forbearing to intermeddle of other mercies and our great unbeliefe all along the triall incorrigiblenesse by the rod unthankfulnesse in the Covenant unthankfulnesse after so great favours review the mercies again and tell of their sweetnesse and usefulnesse their variety their plenty and multitude the freenesse of conferring them the seasonablenesse the watchfulnesse of God to take the due time other commending circumstances willingly lose your selves in relating them and adoring our great Benefactor which is the chiefe intent and desire of the Writer and Your Remembrancer W.
