Now beware of that black Character of the last and worst times, 2 Tim. 3.2. Unthankful, unholy; whether it be unthankfulness to God, or to men; and those are unthankful, first, who esteem not mercies to be mercies, as our Malignants, who had rather things had gone prosperously on the other side: Secondly, who are not the better for great mercies, victories, deliverances, discoveries of wicked plots, and precious favours, partly in possession, and partly in expectation; whereas the goodness of God should lead us to repentance, Rom. 2.4. Yea, many live as if they were delivered to all their abominations, as in former prosperity, Jer. 7.10. Thirdly, who rest in the means and men, by whom the mercies were sent; wise Counselors, brave Soldiers, excellent helps, so resting in the arm of flesh: A carnal glorying. Our rule is, to give God the glory, whatever we think or say of the men; as Judg. 5.9. My heart is towards the Governors of Israel, that offered themselves willingly among the people: Bless ye the Lord. Fourthly, who take the praise and glory of any good unto themselves; as Herod the praise of his eloquence, Acts 12.23. Neither God nor their brethren, but themselves must be magnified; whereas the godly have ever been careful to put it off from themselves, saying, Not unto us, O Lord, not unto us, but unto thy Name give glory, for thy mercy and for thy truth's sake, Psal. 115.1.  
Consider for motives to thankfulness: First, that the Lord looks for the honour of his great works; as that the cleansed Lepers should return unto him; It is his will in Christ Jesus concerning us, 1 Thes. 5.18. Secondly, whereas he loseth his praises among an unbelieving and carnal generation, it is fit he should find it among his faithful ones; He inhabits the praises of Israel, Psal. 22.3. if there were not some that mind him in his ways, he should lose the praise of his great works altogether. Thirdly, it is not only the employment of Saints on earth, but o● the Saints and Angels in Heaven, day and night singing Hallelujah to him that sits on the throne, Revel. 4.8. and certainly, our life is nearest to perfection, when it is nearest to the life of Heaven. Fourthly, it is due unto God, as any money is due from one man to another, and in honesty ought to be paid, 2 Cor. 8.21. Provide for honest things, not only in the sight of the Lord, but in the sight of men: Beware of an arrest from the High Court of Heaven. Fiftly, it is an honest and holy policy to get more at the hands of God; namely, if he shall see us unthankful for former favours; as also among men, thankfulness for old good turns, inviteth new: And consider, Christians, we need now a Crown to be set upon the great works already done for us; even the top-stone of the building: We are not yet in Canaan.  
But wherein standeth the due thankfulness?  
First, in respect of God, to be drawn up by these his works to a closer and nearer communion with him, to fall often into ravishing admirations of him, and of his free love to us; to delight ourselves in him, love him, fear him, honour him, trust in him for time to come; to wait better upon him, without distraction, and serve him in truth with all our heart, considering how great things he hath done for us, 1 Sam. 12.24. All being purposely done to lead us nearer to himself; and he is better and greater than any of his works, whatever they be: And the time will be, that himself will be left to us, to be all in all for our blessedness; the Temple and the Light, Rev. 21.22, 23.  
Secondly, in respect of his great works: About which, we read of divers acts of holy men; as first, To have pleasure in them, Psal. 111.2. As the Lord hath pleasure in the prosperity of his servants, so his servants have pleasure in him, and in his merciful deal with them: secondly To seek them out, ibid. that they may know and be acquainted with them particularly: It sufficeth not to hear of them by the by, but they will hearken after them: Eli sat by the way side, to hear what was become of the Army: thirdly, to observe them, as things they mean to record and make an holy use of them, Psal. 107.43. Who so is wise, and will observe those things, even they shall understand the loving kindness of the Lord: People love to go forth to see some great pomp or Pageant that passeth by; but the works of God are matters of weight and substance: fourthly, to prise them, as coming from a precious love and counsel of peace by Christ, who did greater things for them, and intends to do more; Psal. 139.17. How precious are thy thoughts unto me O God and this is the best way to breed a real thankfulness, not the having, but prising of mercies: fifthly, to think and meditate on them at times with ravishing thoughts, as men more than Conquerors through Christ, and enabled to triumph in him over all our enemies; Psal. 92.4, 5. Thou Lord hast made me glad through thy work, I will triumph in the works of thy hands; O Lord how great are thy works! and thy thoughts are very deep. At first we consider them but slightly; but this chewing the cud will make a perfecter digestion. Sixtly, to Remember and have them still in readiness, for quickening of thankfulness and other holy uses above mentioned: Psal. 105.5. Remember his marvelous works that he hath done, his wonders, and the judgements of his mouth: Memory is the treasury of the soul; fit to lay up such Jewels. Seventhly, to speak of them severally, so far as we can; that others may be edified and excited unto thankfulness, and our children after us may preserve the memory of them from one Generation to another: Psal. 145.6, 7. Men shall speak of the might of thy terrible acts; and I will declare thy greatness: they shall abundantly utter the memory of thy great goodness, and shall sing of thy righteousness.  
If ye instance in these times, tell of Edge-hill, Marston-moore, Naseby, Routenheath, and other Victories; and all that power, glory, wisdom, mercy, justice and truth, which the Lord hath caused to pass before us: Tell of a great enemy subdued, great prisoners taken, great Garrisons received, great store of Arms and Ammunition yielded up: Tell of hellish and desperate plots most happily prevented: Tell of courage in Soldiers, faithfulness in Seamen, fear melting and chase our enemis, refreshment to the weary parts of the Kingdom, fears of evil almost come to an end, hopes of special blessings which the Lord hath in store for us, and how in these Countries we have escaped the miseries of war, which our Brethren have endured: Tell of Noble Leaders whom God hath raised and blessed to be instruments of our good; of our excellent Parliament; of our ever to be honoured Brethren of Scotland; of loving and freehearted Londoners; of Foreigners forbearing to intermeddle; of other mercies; and our great unbelief all along the trial, incorrigibleness by the rod, unthankfulness in the Covenant, unthankfulness after so great favours: review the mercies again, and tell of their sweetness and usefulness, their variety, their plenty and multitude, the freeness of conferring them, the seasonableness, the watchfulness of God to take the due time, other commending circumstances; willingly lose yourselves in relating them, and adoring our great Benefactor; which is the chief intent and desire of the Writer, and  
Your Remembrancer, W. I.
