" 2. Gratitude for the Divine goodness. — Every existing creature owes to its Creator all that it is, and has, and hopes for; and from every creature that is capable of knowing God, gratitude is due to him for its being and its well-being. The complacency of which we have been speaking is love to God for what he is, and for the benevolence of his nature as manifested to creation in general : gratitude is love to him for his kindness to us ; to us personally; to us relatively; — as members of fa...milies, of circles of kindred, of communities, of the race of mankind, — nay, we might stretch the associating feeling of relation still further, and say, of the whole rational and sensitive creation, considering ourselves as part of the great system of being, sustaining a connexion, and conscious of a sympathy, with all that thinks, and feels, and breathes.
