of_o this_o your_o day_n let_v i_o now_o by_o way_n of_o exhortation_n entreat_v you_o gentleman_n in_o the_o name_n of_o that_o great_a god_n who_o have_v of_o late_a so_o gracious_o hear_v and_o

their_o praise_n before_o they_o be_v return_v the_o thing_n that_o the_o lord_n have_v do_v for_o you_o all_o be_v not_o small_a and_o low_a but_o many_o great_a and_o high_a favour_n be_v careful_a therefore_o that_o the_o thanks_o you_o return_v he_o to_o day_n be_v not_o formal_a common_a or_o ordinary_a but_o many_o great_a and_o raise_v praise_n unto_o which_o your_o heart_n will_v the_o soon_o be_v convince_v to_o yield_v obedience_n in_o raise_v and_o heighten_v your_o praise_n if_o you_o consider_v with_o i_o these_o two_o thing_n manifest_a in_o scripture_n first_o that_o whensoever_o god_n require_v praise_n to_o be_v return_v for_o any_o mercy_n praise_n 1._o proportionable_a praise_n he_o do_v not_o only_o require_v it_o to_o be_v return_v in_o kind_n but_o also_o in_o weight_n measure_n and_o proportion_n and_o that_o according_a to_o the_o greatness_n of_o his_o love_n manifest_v either_o in_o himself_o word_n or_o work_n towards_o they_o so_o psal_n 29.1_o 2._o give_v unto_o god_n you_o mighty_a that_o be_v man_n of_o place_n and_o power_n give_v you_o unto_o god_n glory_n and_o strength_n that_o be_v your_o high_a and_o uttermost_a strength_n in_o give_v he_o glory_n and_o why_o vers_fw-la 2._o because_o this_o be_v his_o due_n from_o you_o that_o be_v mighty_a by_o way_n of_o proportion_n therefore_o give_v he_o the_o glory_n due_a to_o his_o name_n give_v he_o his_o full_a due_n in_o worship_v he_o in_o the_o beauty_n of_o holiness_n and_o psal_n 66.2_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n do_v require_v of_o all_o nation_n not_o only_o to_o sing_v forth_o the_o honour_n of_o his_o name_n but_o to_o make_v his_o praise_n glorious_a raise_v it_o to_o the_o height_n of_o beauty_n and_o greatness_n make_v his_o praise_n as_o great_a as_o himself_o proportionable_a to_o his_o own_o greatness_n so_o psal_n 145.3_o great_a be_v the_o lord_n and_o great_o to_o be_v praise_v and_o because_o the_o psalmist_n add_v that_o his_o greatness_n be_v unsearchable_a he_o also_o infer_v that_o man_n must_v wonderful_o glorious_o and_o abundant_o praise_v he_o in_o proportion_n thereunto_o from_o vers_fw-la 3._o to_o 7._o they_o shall_v abundant_o utter_v the_o memory_n of_o thy_o great_a goodness_n and_o declare_v thy_o greatness_n even_o proportionable_a to_o the_o excellency_n and_o height_n of_o it_o psal_n 150.2_o praise_v he_o in_o his_o mighty_a act_n and_o according_a to_o the_o excellency_n of_o his_o greatness_n thus_o you_o see_v the_o first_o thing_n that_o god_n look_v for_o proportionable_a praise_n great_a praise_n for_o a_o great_a god_n do_v great_a thing_n and_o high_a praise_n for_o a_o high_a god_n do_v high_a thing_n the_o second_o thing_n i_o will_v have_v you_o observe_v to_o move_v you_o to_o raise_v your_o praise_n for_o the_o mercy_n receive_v before_o they_o be_v return_v praise_n 2._o proper_a praise_n be_v this_o that_o that_o goodness_n of_o god_n in_o deliver_v you_o out_o of_o prison_n wherein_o you_o be_v unjust_o detain_v be_v a_o mercy_n of_o that_o nature_n that_o god_n in_o his_o word_n have_v require_v and_o express_o and_o particular_o declare_v that_o he_o expect_v proper_a and_o special_a thanks_o and_o praise_n for_o the_o same_o as_o psal_n 107.10_o such_o as_o sit_v in_o darkness_n be_v bind_v in_o affliction_n and_o iron_n these_o prisoner_n cry_v unto_o the_o lord_n in_o their_o trouble_n and_o he_o deliver_v they_o from_o their_o distress_n and_o break_v their_o band_n asunder_o verse_n 13._o what_o then_o do_v the_o lord_n expect_v from_o these_o pray_n and_o now_o deliver_v prisoner_n see_v verse_n 15._o oh_o that_o they_o will_v praise_v the_o lord_n for_o his_o goodness_n and_o declare_v his_o wonderful_a work_n in_o their_o deliverance_n to_o the_o son_n of_o man_n because_o he_o break_v the_o gate_n of_o brass_n and_o cut_v in_o sunder_o the_o bar_n of_o iron_n in_o which_o they_o be_v restrain_v by_o which_o you_o see_v that_o the_o lord_n expect_v among_o all_o other_o mercy_n express_a praise_n for_o deliver_v man_n out_o of_o bond_n which_o make_v david_n psal_n 142.7_o when_o he_o be_v imprison_v and_o shut_v up_o in_o the_o cave_n and_o have_v the_o army_n of_o saul_n round_o about_o he_o seek_v his_o blood_n use_v this_o as_o the_o strong_a motive_n he_o can_v use_v to_o obtain_v his_o liberty_n that_o if_o god_n will_v grant_v he_o the_o same_o and_o set_v he_o at_o freedom_n he_o will_v then_o praise_v his_o name_n bring_v my_o soul_n out_o of_o prison_n that_o i_o may_v then_o praise_v thy_o name_n which_o i_o can_v do_v now_o so_o full_o and_o free_o as_o i_o will_v be_v in_o bond_n and_o as_o he_o here_o promise_v praise_n unto_o god_n for_o liberty_n if_o he_o may_v obtain_v it_o so_o we_o see_v he_o as_o faithful_a and_o careful_a to_o perform_v it_o when_o he_o do_v enjoy_v it_o psal_n 116.16_o lord_n i_o be_o thy_o servant_n the_o son_n of_o thy_o handmaid_n and_o thou_o have_v break_v my_o bond_n and_o set_v
