guilty_a of_o it_o themselves_o it_o be_v that_o we_o we_o do_v common_o remember_v long_o and_o retain_v a_o very_a deep_a resentment_n of_o a_o injury_n whether_o it_o be_v a_o real_a or_o but_o a_o imagine_a one_o but_o we_o soon_o forget_v the_o benefit_n we_o receive_v and_o lose_v the_o impression_n of_o they_o thus_o do_v mankind_n often_o deal_v with_o one_o another_o and_o thus_o also_o do_v they_o behave_v themselves_o towards_o god_n though_o he_o can_v wrong_v or_o injure_v we_o yet_o we_o be_v apt_a to_o think_v he_o do_v so_o when_o he_o do_v in_o any_o thing_n displease_v we_o and_o we_o behave_v ourselves_o towards_o he_o as_o if_o he_o do_v we_o murmur_v against_o he_o and_o grow_v discontent_v and_o froward_a be_v ready_a to_o think_v it_o be_v in_o vain_a to_o serve_v he_o and_o to_o throw_v off_o our_o duty_n and_o on_o the_o other_o side_n we_o do_v at_o the_o same_o time_n forget_v his_o benefit_n and_o take_v no_o notice_n of_o what_o we_o have_v many_o time_n through_o desire_n of_o what_o we_o want_v we_o be_v very_o earnest_a and_o importunate_a in_o our_o request_n for_o what_o we_o will_v have_v and_o be_v cold_a in_o our_o thanksgiving_n or_o neglect_v to_o be_v thankful_a at_o all_o when_o we_o have_v obtain_v it_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n take_v notice_n of_o this_o fault_n in_o mankind_n repeat_v his_o instruction_n in_o holy_a scripture_n to_o the_o contrary_n he_o bid_v we_o take_v care_n to_o join_v with_o all_o our_o prayer_n thanksgiving_n in_o phil._n 4._o 6._o he_o say_v by_o the_o apostle_n be_v careful_a for_o

solicitous_a to_o obtain_v what_o you_o want_v of_o god_n be_v sure_a to_o be_v thankful_a for_o what_o you_o have_v again_o in_o this_o chapter_n where_o our_o present_a text_n be_v he_o join_v the_o command_n of_o thanksgiving_n with_o that_o of_o prayer_n the_o 17_o ver._n bid_v we_o pray_v without_o cease_v and_o this_o 18_o say_v in_o every_o thing_n give_v thanks_o whatever_o your_o condition_n be_v recommend_v it_o to_o almighty_a god_n by_o prayer_n and_o how_o long_o soever_o it_o please_v god_n to_o deny_v or_o delay_v what_o you_o desire_v yet_o continue_v to_o pray_v and_o with_o your_o prayer_n remember_v also_o to_o give_v thanks_o in_o every_o thing_n give_v thanks_o that_o be_v in_o every_o state_n and_o condition_n endeavour_v to_o retain_v always_o a_o sense_n of_o the_o divine_a benefit_n to_o praise_v he_o for_o what_o he_o have_v do_v for_o you_o and_o be_v free_a from_o all_o hard_a thought_n of_o god_n and_o undecent_a murmur_n against_o he_o i_o confess_v this_o command_n in_o this_o place_n seem_v to_o be_v chief_o direct_v to_o those_o holy_a and_o good_a man_n who_o be_v the_o peculiar_a favourite_n of_o heaven_n by_o the_o interest_n of_o jesus_n christ_n but_o because_o this_o duty_n be_v urge_v more_o general_o elsewhere_o and_o there_o be_v no_o duty_n require_v of_o such_o good_a man_n but_o it_o be_v also_o require_v of_o all_o man_n at_o least_o by_o consequence_n and_o as_o all_o man_n be_v require_v to_o be_v good_a i_o shall_v therefore_o take_v the_o word_n as_o exhort_v to_o a_o universal_a duty_n and_o i_o conclude_v from_o they_o that_o all_o man_n be_v bind_v to_o express_v a_o thankful_a acknowledgement_n unto_o god_n of_o the_o benefit_n they_o receive_v from_o he_o and_o that_o in_o all_o estate_n and_o circumstance_n whatsoever_o in_o discourse_v upon_o this_o matter_n i_o shall_v endeavour_v these_o 2_o thing_n 1._o to_o prove_v that_o every_o man_n have_v reason_n for_o great_a thankfulness_n to_o almighty_a god_n 2._o to_o direct_v the_o right_a expression_n and_o declaration_n of_o our_o thankfulness_n in_o the_o first_o place_n i_o shall_v endeavour_v to_o make_v it_o evident_a that_o every_o man_n have_v some_o reason_n to_o be_v thankful_a to_o god_n some_o reason_n to_o praise_n and_o love_v he_o and_o to_o be_v patient_a and_o content_v in_o every_o condition_n and_o this_o i_o think_v will_v evident_o appear_v upon_o the_o make_n good_a the_o follow_a particular_n 1._o let_v we_o consider_v that_o all_o man_n be_v in_o some_o measure_n partaker_n of_o the_o divine_a benefit_n there_o be_v not_o one_o among_o the_o race_n of_o mankind_n that_o can_v just_o reckon_v himself_o not_o at_o all_o oblige_v to_o god_n every_o man_n be_v behold_v to_o god_n for_o his_o be_v for_o the_o preservation_n and_o continuance_n of_o his_o be_v so_o long_o as_o he_o subsist_v and_o for_o some_o thing_n that_o comfort_v he_o in_o his_o be_v and_o without_o doubt_v the_o death_n of_o christ_n be_v in_o some_o sense_n a_o universal_a benefit_n every_o man_n be_v behold_v to_o god_n for_o that_o be_v which_o he_o have_v it_o be_v god_n that_o have_v make_v we_o and_o not_o we_o ourselves_o and_o from_o that_o sort_n of_o be_v which_o god_n have_v give_v we_o be_v we_o engage_v to_o be_v thankful_a we_o be_v make_v but_o little_o low_a than_o the_o angel_n and_o crown_v with_o honour_n and_o dignity_n as_o the_o psalmist_n say_v of_o all_o man_n psal_n 8._o the_o mean_a man_n be_v next_o in_o dignity_n to_o they_o in_o the_o order_n of_o the_o creation_n it_o be_v a_o exceed_a honour_n of_o our_o body_n and_o their_o great_a worth_n and_o commendation_n that_o they_o be_v make_v fit_a to_o serve_v and_o entertain_v so_o noble_a a_o guest_n as_o a_o immortal_a spirit_n and_o this_o honour_n the_o most_o deform_a the_o weak_a and_o the_o most_o crazy_a body_n have_v belong_v to_o it_o but_o our_o great_a worth_n and_o dignity_n lie_v in_o the_o

neglect_v and_o depress_v by_o this_o be_v all_o man_n capable_a of_o the_o sublime_a knowledge_n of_o the_o creator_n capable_a to_o love_v and_o praise_n and_o delight_v themselves_o in_o he_o by_o such_o a_o be_v than_o we_o be_v capable_a of_o happiness_n to_o a_o great_a and_o excellent_a degree_n and_o even_o of_o the_o high_a kind_n of_o happiness_n that_o can_v be_v as_o we_o can_v enjoy_v or_o delight_v ourselves_o in_o he_o who_o be_v the_o high_a good_n and_o our_o immortal_a soul_n render_v we_o capable_a of_o everlasting_a happiness_n in_o the_o eternal_a fruition_n of_o a_o infinite_a eternal_a good_n every_o man_n may_v reach_v this_o happiness_n if_o he_o will_v this_o be_v that_o he_o be_v make_v and_o design_v for_o and_o no_o man_n shall_v fall_v short_a of_o it_o but_o by_o his_o own_o default_n thus_o our_o be_v then_o shall_v engage_v we_o to_o be_v thankful_a to_o god_n that_o give_v it_o further_n it_o be_v to_o he_o we_o owe_v the_o continuance_n of_o
