grace_n i_o hope_v never_o to_o be_v weary_a of_o the_o do_v of_o they_o as_o to_o the_o first_o it_o be_v the_o blessing_n which_o god_n have_v in_o my_o person_n bestow_v upon_o you_o all_o wherein_o i_o protest_v i_o do_v more_o glory_n at_o the_o same_o for_o your_o weal_n then_o for_o any_o particular_a respect_n of_o my_o own_o reputation_n or_o advantage_n therein_o the_o first_o then_o of_o these_o blessing_n which_o god_n have_v joint_o with_o my_o person_n send_v unto_o you_o be_v outward_a peace_n that_o be_v peace_n abroad_o with_o all_o foreign_a neighbour_n for_o i_o thank_v god_n i_o may_v just_o say_v that_o never_o since_o i_o be_v a_o king_n i_o either_o receive_v wrong_a of_o any_o other_o christian_a prince_n or_o state_n or_o do_v wrong_v to_o any_o i_o have_v ever_o i_o praise_v god_n yet_o keep_v peace_n and_o amity_n with_o all_o which_o have_v be_v so_o far_o tie_v to_o my_o person_n as_o at_o my_o come_n here_o you_o be_v witness_n i_o find_v the_o state_n embark_v in_o a_o great_a and_o tedious_a war_n and_o only_o by_o my_o arrival_n here_o and_o by_o the_o peace_n in_o my_o person_n be_v now_o amity_n keep_v where_o war_n be_v before_o which_o be_v no_o small_a blessing_n to_o a_o christian_a commonwealth_n for_o by_o peace_n abroad_o with_o their_o neighbour_n the_o town_n flourish_n the_o merchant_n become_v rich_a the_o trade_n do_v increase_v and_o the_o people_n of_o all_o sort_n of_o the_o land_n enjoy_v free_a liberty_n to_o exercise_v themselves_o in_o their_o several_a vocation_n without_o peril_n or_o disturbance_n not_o that_o i_o think_v this_o outward_a peace_n so_o unseparable_o tie_v to_o my_o person_n as_o i_o dare_v assure_o promise_v to_o myself_o and_o to_o you_o the_o certain_a continuance_n thereof_o but_o thus_o far_o i_o can_v very_o well_o assure_v you_o and_o in_o the_o word_n of_o a_o king_n promise_n unto_o you_o that_o i_o shall_v never_o give_v the_o first_o occasion_n of_o the_o breach_n thereof_o neither_o shall_v i_o ever_o be_v move_v for_o any_o particular_a or_o private_a passion_n of_o mind_n to_o interrupt_v your_o public_a peace_n except_o i_o be_v force_v thereunto_o either_o for_o reparation_n of_o the_o honour_n of_o the_o kingdom_n or_o else_o by_o necessity_n for_o the_o weal_n and_o preservation_n of_o the_o same_o in_o which_o case_n a_o secure_a and_o honourable_a war_n must_v be_v prefer_v to_o a_o unsecure_a and_o dishonourable_a peace_n yet_o do_v i_o hope_v by_o my_o experience_n of_o the_o bypass_a blessing_n of_o peace_n which_o god_n have_v so_o long_o ever_o since_o my_o birth_n bestow_v upon_o i_o that_o he_o will_v not_o be_v weary_a to_o continue_v the_o same_o nor_o repent_v he_o of_o his_o grace_n towards_o i_o transfer_v that_o sentence_n of_o king_n david_n upon_o his_o bypass_a victory_n of_o war_n to_o i_o of_o peace_n that_o that_o god_n who_o preserve_v i_o from_o the_o devour_a jaw_n of_o the_o bear_n and_o of_o the_o lion_n and_o deliver_v they_o into_o my_o hand_n shall_v also_o now_o grant_v i_o victory_n over_o that_o uncircumcised_a philistine_n but_o although_o outward_a peace_n be_v a_o great_a blessing_n yet_o be_v it_o as_o far_o inferior_a to_o peace_n within_o as_o civil_a war_n be_v more_o cruel_a and_o unnatural_a than_o war_n abroad_o and_o therefore_o the_o second_o great_a blessing_n that_o god_n have_v with_o my_o person_n send_v unto_o you_o be_v peace_n within_o and_o that_o in_o a_o double_a form_n
