in obliging them at least to the Decencies of Vertue and Religion Go on and prosper in these noble Designs What are Conquests and Triumphs the wasting and dispeopling of Cities and Provinces which make such a Figure in the false Estimate of the World compared to the more real and solid Honours of reforming vitious Courts luxurious Cities and degenerated Countries This is so hard and will be such a decried Undertaking especially by those who need it most and who ought to promote it chiefly that no small Degree of Courage and Resolution is necessary to support those that set about it Suffer me to repeat to you the Words with which God himself animated Joshua on the like occasion Be thou strong and very couragious that thou mayst observe to do according to all the Law which Moses my Servant commanded thee Turn not from it to the right Hand or to the left that thou mayst prosper whither-soever thou goest This Book of the Law shall not depart out of thy Mouth but thou shalt meditate therein Day and Night that thou mayst observe to do according to all that is written therein for then thou shalt make thy Way prosperous and then thou shalt have good Success Have not I commanded thee Be strong and of a good Courage be not afraid neither be thou dismayed for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest These Words were said to Joshua after he had shewed his military Courage upon great Occasions and import that besides the Magnanimity of affronting Danger there is a Courage in the Mind necessary to repress Sin and to maintain Vertue and Religion that must compleat and perfect the other Happy you that have it in your Power to be such Blessings to Mankind May your Will equal your Power and may all things bend to your Authority May it be ever imployed in advancing the Honour of God and the Kingdom of his dear Son May your Persons be ever safe under his Protection and your Government happy under his Influence And may we at the Conclusion of every Year have fresh matter to rejoice in God both on your Account and on our own who hath done great things for you and for us all both in you and by you And let us all study that our Thankfulness to God may at least bear some Proportion to his Goodness to us Let us pay the Vows that we made to him in our Days of Fasting and Prayer and as we desire another happy Year to conclude what is so far carried on in this let us make such a right Use of our present Advantages and such decent Returns for the Blessings that we have in hand as may give us a Title to expect the compleating them in another Season We are now almost in Sight of Land and the Prospect is so fair that nothing but our Sins and our Divisions can stop a Course of Success and Glory that is near its last and highest Point May no corrupt nor misguided Humours no unjust Jealousies nor peevish Resentments no Faction nor Animosity in our Councils retard or defeat those great Designs which have been hitherto under such a visible Conduct and Blessing from above Suffer me to sum up all in the Words of Samuel upon an occasion not much unlike this Now therefore this is the King and Queen that you have desired and behold the Lord hath set them over you if you will fear the Lord and serve him and obey his Voice and not rebel against the Commandment of the Lord then shall both you and the Kings that reign over you continue following the Lord your God And a little after he redoubles the Exhortation Only fear the Lord and serve him in Truth with all your Heart for consider how great things he hath done for you May they be compleated May they be lasting and may they produce amongst us all that for which they are intended May our Princes still triumph May their Councils be always wise and their Forces ever prosperous And may we and our Posterity after us rejoice long in our Kings May they live long and may their Names live for ever and may all Nations call them blessed May Religion and Vertue prevail and flourish and the Church be established under them May they ever preserve Mercy and Truth that so they may be ever preserved and their Throne always upheld by them May Justice and Righteousness ever flow from them and such an Abundance of Peace as may make us both safe and rich great and happy under their Protection so that both we and all round about us when we reflect on the 88 of this Age may almost forget the 88 of the former and that our second 5 th of November may wear out the Remembrance of the 1 st And to conclude all for I can rise no higher May the Happy and Glorious Days of Queen Elizabeth be darkned and eclipsed by the more Happy and more Glorious Reign of KING WILLIAM and QUEEN MARY FINIS Books lately printed for Richard Chiswell SOME Remarks upon the Ecclesiastical History of the A ●olent Churches of PIEDMONT By PETER ALLIX D.
