THANKS-GIVING after PRAYER.

THe third and last duty in this holy exercise is Thanksgiuing, which cannot but follow sanctified praiers, and that with such ioy in the holy Ghost, as it cannot but breake forth into most vnspeakable inward thankefulnesse to God, who hath been so graciously plea∣sed, not onely to forgiue our sinnes, but to help our infirmities by his holy Spi∣rit, by whom we haue had accesse vnto the Throne of grace, and found such fauour with God in Christ, as we haue obtayned by the holy Ghost, both the will and the power to pray. Also we ought in all things to giue thanks to God, for euery blessing and benefit we receiue at his hands, according to the counsell and precept of the Apostle, who commands vs to giue thanks al∣waies for all things vnto God, euen the Father, in the name of our Lord Iesus Christ, Ephes. 5. 20. Thus much touching the admonition.
