manner_n of_o performance_n of_o it_o there_o be_v many_o reason_n scatter_v in_o scripture_n thankfulness_n to_o incite_v we_o to_o thankfulness_n first_o because_o it_o be_v a_o special_a part_n of_o god_n worship_n or_o one_o way_n by_o which_o we_o yield_v worship_n to_o god_n hence_o that_o the_o apostle_n account_v it_o a_o great_a loss_n if_o the_o people_n can_v say_v amen_o when_o the_o teacher_n bless_v in_o the_o spirit_n or_o give_v thanks_n 14.16_o again_o when_o he_o will_v exhort_v they_o to_o liberality_n he_o urge_v they_o with_o this_o reason_n that_o the_o supply_n of_o the_o necessity_n of_o the_o saint_n will_v cause_v much_o thanksgiving_n to_o god_n 9.12.13_o and_o in_o the_o 4._o of_o the_o 2._o of_o cor._n he_o show_v that_o the_o thanksgiving_n of_o many_o will_v breed_v both_o a_o plenty_n of_o grace_n and_o a_o abound_a of_o much_o praise_n to_o god_n 4.16_o second_o the_o apostle_n have_v dehort_v the_o ephesian_n from_o fornication_n and_o all_o uncleanness_n and_o covetousness_n filthiness_n jest_a and_o foolish_a talk_v he_o add_v but_o rather_o use_v give_v of_o thanks_n 4.3.4_o as_o if_o he_o will_v note_v that_o thankfulness_n for_o god_n blessing_n and_o grace_n due_o perform_v will_v preserve_v they_o from_o the_o filth_n and_o power_n of_o these_o base_a vice_n beside_o it_o be_v a_o thing_n that_o become_v the_o saint_n

have_v right_o receive_v christ_n and_o be_v firm_o root_v build_v and_o establish_v in_o the_o faith_n 2.6.7_o second_o if_o man_n in_o all_o thing_n let_v their_o request_n be_v show_v unto_o god_n with_o give_v of_o thanks_n it_o be_v a_o sign_n of_o the_o peace_n of_o god_n even_o that_o the_o peace_n of_o god_n that_o pass_v all_o understanding_n will_v preserve_v their_o heart_n and_o mind_n in_o christ_n jesus_n 4.6.7_o three_o it_o be_v a_o sign_n nay_o a_o very_a mean_n of_o a_o content_a mind_n he_o that_o can_v pray_v unto_o god_n for_o what_o he_o want_v and_o be_v able_a thankful_o to_o acknowledge_v what_o he_o have_v in_o possession_n or_o promise_n he_o will_v in_o nothing_o be_v careful_a 4.6_o as_o it_o appear_v in_o the_o same_o place_n to_o the_o philippian_n last_o it_o

consider_v for_o what_o we_o must_v give_v thanks_n first_o for_o spiritual_a thing_n as_o well_o as_o temporal_a as_o for_o the_o word_n 4.16_o for_o mercy_n in_o prayer_n 2._o for_o victory_n over_o a_o sin_n 7.26_o for_o knowledge_n 1.21_o second_o in_o adversity_n as_o well_o as_o in_o prosperity_n and_o that_o in_o all_o sort_n of_o affliction_n in_o danger_n 35._o in_o wrong_n three_o in_o outward_a thing_n we_o must_v be_v thankful_a 10.3_o not_o only_o for_o great_a thing_n do_v for_o our_o state_n or_o name_n but_o even_o for_o the_o lesser_a and_o more_o daily_a favour_n as_o for_o our_o food_n and_o the_o creature_n for_o our_o nourishment_n and_o in_o special_a manner_n have_v the_o saint_n in_o all_o age_n bind_v themselves_o to_o a_o set_a course_n of_o prayer_n and_o praise_n over_o and_o for_o their_o food_n and_o therefore_o their_o gross_a swinish_a profaneness_n be_v so_o much_o the_o great_a that_o sit_v down_o and_o rise_v from_o their_o meat_n food_n like_a brute_n beast_n without_o any_o prayer_n or_o thanksgiving_n if_o any_o ask_v whether_o there_o be_v any_o express_a scripture_n for_o grace_n
of_o his_o immediate_a or_o bless_a knowledge_n the_o second_o kind_n of_o knowledge_n be_v habitual_a or_o infuse_a knowledge_n by_o this_o knowledge_n he_o know_v all_o that_o can_v be_v know_v of_o

by_o the_o first_o he_o understand_v celestial_a and_o divine_a thing_n by_o the_o second_o thing_n separate_v from_o matter_n as_o the_o angel_n by_o the_o three_o thing_n natural_a and_o by_o the_o last_o thing_n to_o be_v do_v but_o this_o knowledge_n be_v much_o inferior_a to_o the_o former_a for_o thus_o he_o know_v not_o the_o divine_a essence_n of_o experimental_a knowledge_n the_o holy_a

more_o than_o man_n of_o wrangle_a nature_n and_o corrupt_a and_o envious_a mind_n do_v well_o take_v though_o no_o more_o than_o what_o be_v ordinary_a in_o the_o write_n of_o learned_a man_n i_o shall_v not_o need_v therefore_o to_o say_v much_o of_o it_o in_o this_o place_n the_o power_n of_o christ_n be_v twofold_a increate_v and_o create_v increated_a power_n be_v the_o power_n of_o his_o
