243 sweetened from Earthly and impure Mixtures, and return down again into the World, in all the amiable Dispositions of Love and good-will! In all conditions of Life, this heavenly Exercise is a divine Medicine to the Soul. For grant that no Trials or Temptations should assail us, and that every Thing we did prospered round us — Ourselves, our Families, and all our Connections happy and blessed; yet then — even then — it must be a most dehghtful Exercise to lift up our Souls, in holy and devou...t Praise and Thanksgivings, to Him who is cloathed with Majesty and honour; " Praying to him with all Prayer" that these mercies may be continued to us; that we may preserve a due and just sense of them; and never be lifted up in Pride or Forgetful- ness of the God of all Goodness. As Prayer, in the hours of our Prosperity, brings our Souls to a proper state of Humility; so likewise in the hours of affliction, to raise all our mental facul- ties to the Almighty Helper of the Helpless, brightens them into sweet Affiance and Tranquillity.
