they_o the_o mean_n of_o commit_v great_a wickedness_n the_o ignorant_a god_n may_v pardon_v and_o accept_v notwithstanding_o the_o error_n and_o imperfection_n of_o their_o praise_n but_o not_o the_o wicked_a because_o it_o be_v mere_a confidence_n and_o presumption_n in_o they_o and_o so_o far_o be_v such_o people_n from_o set_v forth_o god_n glory_n that_o they_o rather_o lessen_v it_o for_o the_o praise_n of_o ill_a man_n be_v scandal_n and_o as_o it_o will_v call_v a_o good_a man_n name_n in_o question_n to_o have_v a_o wicked_a man_n commend_v he_o so_o the_o thanksgiving_n of_o the_o unrighteous_a make_v god_n as_o it_o be_v on_o their_o side_n will_v be_v some_o kind_a of_o detraction_n even_o from_o infinite_a goodness_n and_o holiness_n itself_o but_o the_o praise_n of_o the_o righteous_a be_v comely_a in_o the_o sight_n of_o all_o man_n and_o great_o advance_v god_n glory_n for_o praise_n be_v a_o act_n of_o justice_n and_o every_o act_n of_o justice_n be_v beautiful_a in_o itself_o much_o more_o when_o set_v off_o by_o the_o lustre_n of_o other_o virtue_n the_o natural_a notion_n which_o all_o man_n have_v of_o what_o be_v fit_a and_o just_a make_v they_o please_v when_o they_o see_v good_a man_n act_n according_o when_o they_o see_v those_o who_o have_v receive_v most_o from_o god_n most_o careful_a to_o praise_v he_o for_o it_o and_o that_o particular_o because_o they_o think_v that_o this_o be_v no_o light_a humour_n no_o sudden_a fancy_n which_o seize_v they_o for_o a_o moment_n but_o build_v upon_o a_o solid_a foundation_n and_o therefore_o likely_a to_o continue_v and_o to_o have_v a_o influence_n upon_o the_o remain_v part_n of_o their_o life_n if_o then_o the_o righteous_a be_v most_o humble_a most_o ready_a to_o acknowledge_v their_o unworthiness_n of_o god_n goodness_n if_o they_o have_v a_o more_o quick_o and_o lively_a sense_n of_o it_o and_o be_v more_o tender_o affect_v with_o it_o if_o they_o have_v always_o a_o solid_a foundation_n of_o true_a joy_n in_o a_o good_a conscience_n and_o if_o there_o be_v a_o peculiar_a fitness_n and_o congruity_n between_o praise_n and_o other_o christian_a virtue_n than_o it_o follow_v that_o the_o righteous_a be_v most_o proper_a to_o perform_v the_o duty_n of_o thanksgiving_n and_o this_o be_v the_o first_o thing_n which_o i_o propose_v i_o proceed_v now_o to_o the_o second_o ii_o to_o enforce_v this_o duty_n by_o the_o consideration_n of_o its_o great_a object_n and_o the_o benefit_n which_o we_o receive_v from_o he_o the_o proper_a object_n of_o our_o praise_n the_o psalmist_n lead_v we_o to_o in_o the_o first_o word_n of_o the_o text._n rejoice_v in_o the_o lord_n in_o he_o that_o be_v in_o the_o knowledge_n that_o we_o have_v of_o his_o divine_a excellency_n and_o in_o the_o experience_n that_o we_o have_v that_o those_o excellency_n be_v beneficial_a to_o us._n some_o take_v the_o word_n in_o to_o limit_v our_o praise_n to_o god_n essential_a goodness_n but_o this_o undoubted_o restrain_v it_o too_o much_o for_o tho'_o god_n be_v so_o perfect_a in_o himself_o that_o the_o contemplation_n of_o he_o heighten_v by_o a_o lively_a faith_n may_v afford_v great_a joy_n and_o delight_n to_o some_o good_a man_n yet_o his_o essential_a goodness_n be_v seldom_o apprehend_v sufficient_o by_o all_o people_n to_o produce_v public_a praise_n but_o it_o be_v necessary_a that_o mankind_n shall_v feel_v the_o beneficial_a effect_n of_o it_o for_o this_o purpose_n thus_o tho'_o the_o beauty_n of_o the_o sun_n consider_v in_o itself_o may_v just_o cause_v admiration_n yet_o it_o will_v never_o be_v magnify_v so_o universal_o but_o that_o man_n enjoy_v the_o light_n and_o the_o warmth_n of_o it_o but_o above_o all_o this_o be_v confirm_v by_o the_o psalmist_n in_o the_o follow_a part_n of_o this_o psalm_n for_o he_o do_v not_o tie_v himself_o up_o strict_o to_o the_o contemplation_n of_o the_o divine_a nature_n as_o to_o its_o essential_a excellency_n only_o but_o consider_v they_o as_o they_o relate_v to_o his_o work_n and_o be_v beneficial_a to_o his_o creature_n and_o that_o particular_o as_o to_o his_o godness_n his_o wisdom_n and_o power_n i_o shall_v follow_v he_o exact_o in_o the_o same_o method_n 1._o rejoice_v in_o the_o lord_n in_o regard_n of_o his_o goodness_n for_o great_a nay_o infinite_a be_v his_o goodness_n and_o because_o nothing_o can_v be_v more_o lovely_a than_o supreme_a goodness_n the_o prophet_n cry_v out_o how_o great_a be_v his_o goodness_n and_o how_o great_a be_v his_o beauty_n whatever_o be_v please_v to_o we_o below_o be_v so_o because_o we_o take_v it_o to_o be_v good_a that_o be_v suppose_v it_o to_o partake_v of_o this_o fountain_n of_o everflow_a goodness_n how_o then_o shall_v we_o be_v surprise_v and_o transport_v with_o joy_n if_o we_o lift_v up_o our_o thought_n to_o he_o who_o be_v goodness_n itself_o and_o through_o his_o vast_a abundance_n pour_v it_o upon_o every_o creature_n but_o yet_o this_o will_v not_o be_v sufficient_a for_o his_o universal_a praise_n unless_o we_o consider_v his_o goodness_n in_o his_o work_n thus_o our_o psalmist_n v._o 5._o of_o this_o psalm_n the_o earth_n be_v full_a of_o the_o goodness_n of_o the_o lord_n full_a indeed_o on_o every_o side_n for_o which_o way_n soever_o we_o turn_v with_o what_o sweet_a variety_n do_v new_a wonder_n and_o new_a blessing_n meet_v us._n how_o do_v the_o season_n succeed_v in_o beauteous_a order_n and_o carry_v health_n and_o plenty_n round_o the_o world_n thou_o crown_v the_o year_n with_o thy_o goodness_n and_o thy_o path_n drop_v fatness_n they_o drop_v upon_o the_o pasture_n in_o the_o wilderness_n and_o the_o little_a hill_n rejoice_v on_o every_o side_n the_o pasture_n be_v clothe_v with_o flock_n the_o valley_n also_o be_v cover_v over_o with_o corn_n one_o will_v think_v the_o prophet_n describe_v our_o own_o country_n they_o shout_n for_o joy_n they_o also_o sing_v and_o whence_o proceed_v this_o joy_n what_o be_v it_o they_o sing_v but_o their_o creator_n praise_n shall_v inanimate_a creature_n be_v so_o just_a shall_v not_o only_o the_o heaven_n but_o inferior_a part_n of_o the_o creation_n declare_v their_o maker_n glory_n by_o observe_v that_o order_n in_o which_o he_o first_o put_v they_o and_o shall_v man_n only_o be_v unthankful_a and_o that_o because_o he_o be_v at_o liberty_n and_o god_n expect_v a_o more_o noble_a offer_n from_o his_o freewill_n praise_n and_o gratitude_n of_o choice_n and_o not_o of_o necessity_n this_o will_v be_v unpardonable_a in_o any_o wretch_n in_o the_o whole_a world_n but_o much_o more_o in_o any_o one_o of_o this_o nation_n for_o what_o instance_n of_o god_n goodness_n towards_o we_o shall_v i_o name_v first_o the_o many_o deliverance_n which_o we_o have_v have_v from_o open_a violence_n but_o more_o from_o secret_a treachery_n or_o the_o incredible_a wealth_n that_o have_v float_v into_o we_o from_o so_o many_o distant_a nation_n and_o the_o plenty_n healthfulness_n and_o security_n of_o this_o happy_a island_n happy_a indeed_o in_o all_o these_o respect_n but_o much_o more_o happy_a in_o be_v instruct_v so_o soon_o in_o the_o save_v knowledge_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o when_o this_o begin_v to_o be_v obscure_v by_o ignorance_n and_o superstition_n in_o be_v bless_v so_o soon_o with_o so_o judicious_a and_o impartial_a a_o reformation_n if_o we_o look_v abroad_o into_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o world_n how_o many_o country_n be_v at_o present_a the_o seat_n of_o war_n and_o expose_v to_o the_o bloody_a incursion_n of_o their_o enemy_n as_o well_o as_o the_o necessity_n of_o their_o friend_n and_o yet_o even_o war_n itself_o can_v be_v worse_o than_o the_o miserable_a peace_n of_o those_o other_o country_n which_o groan_v under_o idolatrous_a superstition_n and_o be_v impoverish_v by_o its_o avarice_n or_o dispeople_v by_o its_o cruelty_n while_o all_o the_o while_o we_o enjoy_v our_o liberty_n and_o our_o law_n under_o a_o wise_a and_o gracious_a administration_n and_o need_n fear_v no_o disturbance_n under_o our_o vine_n and_o fig_n tree_n unless_o we_o

as_o if_o he_o be_v endow_v with_o infinite_a knowledge_n and_o almighty_a power_n only_o to_o sleep_v away_o eternity_n as_o if_o there_o be_v no_o grandeur_n but_o in_o sloth_n no_o majesty_n but_o in_o stupidity_n it_o can_v be_v doubt_v but_o the_o same_o god_n who_o give_v all_o thing_n their_o be_v do_v give_v they_o also_o their_o manner_n of_o be_v nor_o
