THEN in the fourth place there stand thanksgivings which the mind in
ineffable transports offers up to God, either when it recalls God's past
benefits or when it contemplates His present ones, or when it looks forward
to those great ones in the future which God has prepared for them that love
Him. And with this purpose too sometimes we are wont to pour forth richer
prayers, while, as we gaze with pure eyes on those rewards of the saints
which are laid up in store hereafter, our spirit is stimulated to offer up
unspeakable thanks to God with boundless joy.
