For THANKFULNES.

O Most Gracious and Bountiful Lord, who fillest all things living with good, and ex∣pectest no other return▪ but praise and thanks∣giving, let me O Lord, never defraud thee of that so easy tribute, but let my heart be ever filled with the sense, and my mouth with the acknowledgment of thy mercies. It is a joy∣ful and a pleasant thing to be thankful, O suffer me not, I beseech thee, to loose my part in that Divine pleasure, but grant that as I daily receive blessings from thee, so I may daily from an affectionate and devout heart offer up thanks to thee, and grant that not onely my lips, but my life may shew forth thy praise, by consecrating my self to thy service, and walk∣ing in Holiness and Righteousness before thee all the dayes of my life, through Jesus Christ my Lord and blessed Saviour.
