The Thanksgiving.
VVE give thee thanks, most gracious Father, the Fountain of every good and perfect gift, for all thy blessings, both Spirituall and Temporall; especially, for thy great love, in sending thy Son Christ Jesus unto us; for the Communication of thy holy spirit, for the light and liberty of thy glorious Gospel, and the rich heavenly blessings revealed therein, as namely, our E∣lection, Vocation, Adoption, Justification, Sanctification, and hope of glory; for the admirable goodnesse of God in freeing the land from Antichristian darknesse and Ty∣ranny, and for all other Nationall deliverances: We blesse thee for the Reformation of our Religion, our con∣tinuall preservation, and for many other Temporall bles∣sings. We pray thee for the continuance of all thy favours and blessings, and particularly of thy Gospel, and all the Ordinances thereof, in their purity, power, and liberty: We pray thee make thy word powerfull, that it may abide in our hearts, and bring forth fruit in our live, and conver∣sations. We beseech thee fit and prepare us for death, and judgement, and that we may watch for the coming of our Lord Iesus Christ: We intreat thee forgive the i••iquity of our holy things, and accept of our Spirituall sacrifi∣ces, through the merit and mediation of our great High Priest and Saviour, the Lord Christ Jesus, Amen.
