Of Thankesgiuing.
BEcause all the good we do is of God, and from God, we are bound to render vnto him alone humble thanks, for
euery good action of ours, and victorie, and for al his benefits particular and common. And to do this in dumaner, cōsider the end that moueth our Lord to giue his graces vnto vs; for vpon this cōsideration, depen deth the true giuing of thanks. And because in euery benefit our Lord intendeth principal∣ly his honor, and our profit: acknowledge first of all his power, wisedome, and good∣nesse, which appeareth in the benefit Then consider, that in thee, there is not any thing worthy of the benefit: yea no∣thing els but demerit and gra∣titude. And sinally obay his diuine will, performing that which he in lieu of the bene∣fit requireth of thee: to witre,
that thou serue and loue him. And therfore adde hereunto a full and entire oblation of thy selfe, the which thou shalt doe in this maner following.
