A Private THANK-OBLATION, Consisting of Three Hymns,

The first Hymn, is a Preparatioon of the heart to the Duty intended.

The second Hymn, being an imperfect Narrative and Confession to Gods glory, of what he hath done for us in the late Ingagement; how little we have merited the mercies vouchsafed, and how merciful GOD hath been to both Nations.

The third Hymn, proceeds to a thankful Illustration of GOD's deserved Praise, by acknowledging his Almightiness; his observing what hath been openly and secretly done in every part of the World, by both the said Nations, and that no praise is justly due to either of us, but shame rather, for ought performed in the said Ingagement.

A Sacrifice of Praise & Prayer

[When I was young, these Words my Motto were]

When I was young, these Words my Motto were
I, neither have, nor do I want, or care:
And, Death, will make them truer then they are.
