Gurnall said, “An unthankful saint carries a contradiction with it. ‘Evil’ and ‘unthankful’ are twins that live and die together; as any one ceases to be evil, he begins to be thankful. Consider it is that which God both expects and promises himself at your hands; he made you for this end. When the vote passed in heaven for your being, yea, happy being, in Christ, it was upon this account, that you should be ‘a name and a praise’ to him on earth in time, and in heaven to eternity.”
