three_o for_o the_o manner_n of_o thanksgiving_n it_o may_v be_v find_v in_o that_o phrase_n use_v by_o the_o prophet_n in_o the_o old_a testament_n of_o sacrifice_v the_o calf_n of_o their_o lip_n 14.3_o for_o here_o four_o thing_n may_v be_v observe_v first_o it_o must_v be_v a_o dead_a calf_n to_o note_v that_o all_o thanksgiving_n must_v proceed_v from_o humble_a and_o mortify_a mind_n and_o therefore_o the_o pharisee_n thanks_n do_v not_o a_o whit_n justify_v they_o 18.11.14_o second_o it_o must_v be_v a_o sacrifice_a calf_n now_o in_o the_o sacrifice_n three_o thing_n be_v require_v a_o altar_n fire_n and_o to_o lay_v the_o hand_n upon_o the_o head_n of_o the_o beast_n a_o altar_n for_o not_o only_o our_o prayer_n must_v be_v make_v in_o the_o name_n of_o christ_n but_o our_o praise_n also_o must_v be_v tender_v to_o god_n in_o his_o mediation_n or_o they_o will_v never_o be_v accept_v no_o more_o than_o a_o calf_n not_o lay_v on_o the_o altar_n neither_o be_v it_o enough_o to_o lay_v the_o calf_n on_o the_o altar_n but_o fire_n must_v be_v put_v to_o it_o to_o note_n that_o the_o bare_a throw_v out_o of_o word_n of_o thankfulness_n though_o in_o the_o name_n of_o christ_n will_v not_o serve_v unless_o we_o do_v also_o get_v some_o feel_a ardency_n and_o zeal_n to_o burn_v the_o sacrifice_n three_o we_o must_v lay_v our_o hand_n on_o the_o head_n of_o the_o calf_n that_o be_v in_o all_o humility_n we_o must_v confess_v our_o unworthiness_n of_o all_o the_o blessing_n or_o grace_n we_o give_v thanks_n for_o again_o in_o that_o they_o offer_v a_o calf_n it_o signify_v that_o we_o shall_v not_o offer_v our_o thankfulness_n to_o god_n of_o that_o that_o cost_v we_o nothing_o we_o shall_v desire_v to_o express_v our_o praise_n by_o do_v some_o thing_n to_o further_a god_n worship_n or_o relieve_v the_o necessity_n of_o other_o if_o god_n bl●s●e_v we_o at_o home_n we_o shall_v carry_v a_o calf_n to_o the_o temple_n last_o we_o must_v not_o sacrifice_v to_o a_o strange_a god_n when_o we_o give_v thanks_n and_o that_o man_n do_v when_o they_o sacrifice_v to_o their_o net_n 1.16_o as_o the_o prophet_n speak_v that_o be_v when_o man_n attribute_v the_o glory_n and_o praise_n of_o god_n to_o the_o mean_n or_o second_o cause_n thus_o of_o thankfulness_n in_o the_o general_a but_o that_o which_o be_v here_o intend_a other_o be_v that_o we_o shall_v give_v thanks_n for_o other_o as_o well_o as_o for_o ourselves_o which_o be_v not_o a_o courtesy_n but_o a_o duty_n this_o duty_n of_o praise_v god_n for_o other_o grow_v exceed_o commendable_a if_o we_o can_v exercise_v it_o in_o these_o particular_n trial_n first_o if_o we_o can_v give_v thanks_n for_o those_o blessing_n upon_o other_o which_o the_o world_n account_v shameful_a to_o enjoy_v as_o zeal_n for_o god_n glory_n religious_a sincerity_n and_o uprightness_n of_o heart_n the_o cross_n for_o christ_n his_o sake_n and_o such_o like_a second_o if_o we_o can_v first_o give_v thanks_n that_o be_v be_v more_o apt_a to_o praise_n god_n for_o the_o virtue_n of_o other_o then_o be_v forward_o to_o tax_v their_o fault_n and_o frailty_n three_o if_o we_o can_v do_v it_o for_o all_o sort_n of_o man_n even_o our_o enemy_n 2.1_o four_o if_o we_o can_v be_v thankful_a for_o the_o true_a joy_n we_o have_v have_v in_o other_o man_n prosperity_n 3.9_o to_o conclude_v this_o point_n if_o we_o will_v have_v other_o to_o give_v thanks_n for_o we_o we_o shall_v labour_v to_o be_v such_o as_o for_o who_o thanks_n may_v be_v give_v and_o thus_o of_o what_o they_o do_v now_o to_o who_o to_o god_n praise_n these_o word_n have_v be_v use_v in_o the_o very_a verse_n before_o teach_v we_o two_o thing_n first_o that_o it_o be_v no_o cloy_a to_o a_o sanctify_a mind_n to_o be_v much_o and_o often_o yea_o upon_o every_o occasion_n in_o the_o honourable_a mention_n and_o laud_v of_o god_n ascribe_v in_o every_o thing_n glory_n to_o god_n so_o in_o heaven_n they_o shall_v never_o be_v weary_a of_o god_n praise_n no_o not_o unto_o all_o eternity_n and_o certain_a it_o be_v that_o the_o more_o man_n grow_v in_o sanctification_n the_o more_o easy_a and_o apt_a be_v their_o heart_n to_o entertain_v all_o occasion_n of_o communion_n with_o god_n without_o weariness_n or_o deadness_n second_o to_o god_n shut_v out_o the_o praise_n of_o themselves_o or_o of_o man_n it_o be_v fit_a our_o rejoice_a and_o praise_n shall_v be_v direct_v thither_o from_o whence_o the_o blessing_n come_v the_o father_n these_o word_n be_v consider_v in_o the_o former_a verse_n thus_o much_o of_o his_o thanksgiving_n pray_v for_o you_o contrariwise_o first_o in_o general_a from_o the_o join_v together_o of_o these_o two_o duty_n two_o thing_n may_v be_v observe_v first_o that_o a_o child_n of_o god_n never_o give_v thanks_n but_o he_o have_v cause_n to_o pray_v for_o if_o it_o be_v for_o temporal_a thing_n he_o must_v pray_v both_o for_o their_o sanctify_a use_n that_o they_o become_v not_o occasion_n of_o sin_n and_o for_o their_o preservation_n according_a to_o god_n will_v if_o it_o be_v for_o spiritual_a thing_n he_o have_v reason_n to_o pray_v for_o increase_v strength_n and_o preservation_n against_o fall_v and_o such_o like_a second_o on_o the_o other_o side_n i_o say_v also_o that_o a_o child_n of_o god_n do_v never_o pray_v but_o he_o may_v find_v reason_n to_o give_v thanks_n we_o may_v find_v mercy_n in_o any_o misery_n yea_o it_o be_v a_o singular_a mercy_n to_o have_v a_o hart_n to_o pray_v and_o to_o have_v so_o many_o large_a promise_n make_v to_o they_o that_o call_v upon_o god_n in_o their_o distress_n but_o the_o main_a particular_a doctrine_n be_v that_o we_o ought_v not_o only_o to_o pray_v for_o ourselves_o but_o for_o other_o and_o the_o apostle_n 1_o tim._n 2.1_o seem_v to_o make_v four_o sort_n of_o prayer_n for_o other_o other_o deprecation_n request_n intercession_n and_o give_v of_o thank_n deprecation_n
