Philemon1:4
Verſe 4. I thank my God] Thus the Apoſtle begins moſt of his Epiſtles. [non-Latin text not transcribed]. As any man is more or leſſe gracious, ſo is he thankfull. The ſame Greek word for grace ſignifieth thankfulneſſe. Neither is theſe any think that ſeals up more comfort to the ſoul, then for a man to be able from the bottome of his heart to praiſe God. Self-love may make an hypocrite pray from the bottome of his heart, &c.
