every_o little_a cross_a occurrence_n this_o alone_o will_v turn_v his_o thought_n from_o the_o infinite_a goodness_n of_o god_n in_o the_o most_o signal_n blessing_n which_o he_o bestow_v upon_o the_o nation_n wherein_o he_o live_v by_o which_o mean_v god_n will_v lose_v all_o the_o praise_n of_o his_o mercy_n because_o they_o will_v not_o be_v at_o all_o observe_v or_o regard_v by_o such_o ungrateful_a soul_n who_o must_v first_o be_v dispose_v to_o be_v serious_a sober-minded_n and_o attentive_a to_o what_o be_v do_v in_o the_o world_n and_o be_v of_o universal_a concernment_n to_o it_o before_o they_o can_v be_v make_v sensible_a of_o the_o love_a kindness_n of_o the_o lord_n ii_o which_o when_o we_o observe_v we_o must_v careful_o remember_v and_o lay_v up_o in_o our_o mind_n or_o else_o these_o two_o mischief_n will_v ensue_v first_o that_o we_o shall_v have_v only_o a_o flash_n of_o devotion_n kindle_v in_o we_o for_o a_o few_o moment_n and_o second_o we_o shall_v

which_o there_o seem_v to_o be_v too_o great_a a_o inclination_n in_o some_o among_o we_o who_o a_o few_o week_n ago_o long_v and_o sigh_v for_o deliverance_n from_o those_o danger_n which_o be_v

to_o cure_v if_o any_o of_o we_o have_v be_v infect_v with_o it_o because_o it_o make_v we_o soon_o forget_v the_o work_n of_o god_n and_o that_o will_v make_v we_o unthankful_a for_o a_o thankful_a temper_n of_o spirit_n must_v be_v make_v and_o maintain_v by_o consider_v and_o often_o revolve_v those_o observation_n of_o the_o divine_a providence_n which_o we_o have_v reposit_v in_o our_o

have_v take_v of_o the_o love_a kindness_n of_o the_o lord_n which_o be_v so_o much_o of_o the_o essence_n of_o thankfulness_n that_o when_o we_o will_v express_v the_o contrary_a ingratitude_n we_o say_v man_n be_v unmindful_a of_o their_o obligation_n now_o that_o which_o will_v most_o impress_v the_o benefit_n we_o have_v receive_v upon_o our_o mind_n be_v the_o observation_n of_o those_o

in_o we_o to_o invite_v it_o but_o we_o rather_o deserve_v to_o be_v make_v more_o miserable_a and_o yet_o god_n take_v compassion_n upon_o we_o and_o make_v those_o very_a thing_n contribute_v to_o our_o salvation_n which_o be_v design_v for_o our_o ruin_n these_o and_o such_o like_a other_o circumstance_n which_o be_v very_o applicable_a to_o our_o present_a case_n will_v make_v god_n goodness_n admirable_a in_o our_o eye_n and_o that_o which_o strike_v we_o with_o admiration_n will_v be_v long_a remember_v iii_o when_o we_o will_v give_v solemn_a thanks_o to_o god_n for_o his_o mercy_n we_o must_v set_v ourselves_o to_o consider_v and_o ponder_v the_o worth_n and_o value_n as_o well_o as_o count_v the_o multitude_n of_o they_o we_o must_v weigh_v as_o well_o as_o number_v they_o so_o the_o psalmist_n teach_v we_o if_o we_o compare_v the_o lvii_o ps_n 7._o with_o the_o cxxxix_o 17._o in_o the_o former_a he_o tell_v we_o his_o heart_n be_v fix_v his_o heart_n be_v fix_v so_o steadfast_o settle_v that_o be_v that_o he_o will_v not_o let_v it_o stir_v from_o this_o work_n and_o then_o he_o sing_v and_o give_v praise_v and_o in_o the_o latter_a he_o admire_v god_n mercy_n first_o as_o they_o be_v invaluable_a o_o how_o precious_a be_v thy_o thought_n towards_o i_o o_o god_n and_o then_o as_o they_o be_v innumerable_a how_o great_a be_v the_o sum_n of_o they_o thus_o if_o we_o apply_v our_o thought_n to_o the_o present_a deliverance_n which_o god_n have_v wrought_v for_o we_o we_o shall_v find_v the_o misery_n from_o which_o we_o be_v preserve_v so_o innumerable_a and_o consequent_o such_o a_o multitude_n of_o mercy_n for_o which_o we_o be_v indebt_v and_o those_o so_o dear_a so_o precious_a all_o that_o we_o be_v worth_a either_o as_o man_n or_o as_o christian_n our_o civil_a right_n and_o liberty_n but_o especial_o our_o holy_a religion_n secure_v to_o we_o that_o it_o be_v impossible_a not_o to_o have_v our_o heart_n affect_v with_o god_n
