because thou comfortest us; in adversity, because thou chaftifeft us; before we were, because thou created'ft us; when we were, because thou preferved'st us; when we had finn'd, because thou forgaveft us; when we turned unto thee,becaufe thou drawed'st us; and if we perfevere, because thou wilt

crown us.

Thus, even thus, let our Mouth be filled with thy Praise all the Day long, O Lord, and without intermiffion; and let us, with our Prophet here, exprefs the manner of our Thanksgiving: Let us take the Cup of Salvation, and call upon the Name of the Lord: Let us pay our Vows unto the Lord, now, in the prefence of all his People. And because we can render him Nothing, let us render him a Confeffion, That we can render him Nothing: For fuch is the Longanimity and Forbearance of our heavenly Creditor, that if we do but acknowledg our Willingness along with our Inability to repay him, He will accept our Will for the Debt, and our bare Confeffion for a full Discharge.

Thus

Thus then let us do; Let us humble our felvs under his mighty Hand, confess our own Defects and Imperfections, and fo give Him alone all Glory.

To the King Eternal, Immortal, Invifible, the only Wife God, be all Honor and Glory, throughout all Ages.

AMEN.
