no_o but_o to_o congratulate_v it_o rather_o and_o i_o take_v the_o so_o religious_a observation_n of_o this_o day_n to_o be_v a_o stand_a evidence_n of_o it_o and_o i_o can_v no_o way_n question_n but_o such_o wise_a man_n that_o have_v signalise_v themselves_o by_o their_o prudent_a government_n of_o this_o city_n and_o preserve_a order_n in_o it_o to_o such_o measure_n that_o no_o such_o city_n in_o europe_n can_v boast_v the_o like_a and_o have_v receive_v just_a mark_n of_o honour_n for_o it_o from_o a_o king_n that_o can_v never_o fail_v to_o reward_v merit_n do_v very_o well_o understand_v their_o own_o duty_n and_o know_v how_o to_o demean_v themselves_o according_o and_o will_v never_o sully_v the_o glory_n of_o these_o action_n and_o the_o honour_n get_v by_o they_o by_o any_o thing_n unworthy_a of_o either_o it_o be_v just_o to_o be_v hope_v that_o as_o the_o late_a fire_n have_v true_o refine_v this_o city_n it_o rise_v up_o in_o a_o splendour_n much_o great_a than_o be_v before_o so_o that_o it_o have_v melt_v down_o all_o faeces_fw-la and_o dregs_o of_o undutifulness_n that_o be_v former_o in_o the_o heart_n of_o any_o of_o its_o inhabitant_n and_o that_o as_o justice_n seem_v write_v on_o your_o gate_n so_o lonalty_n will_v be_v the_o embellishment_n of_o your_o palace_n and_o i_o be_o the_o more_o confident_a in_o my_o hope_n of_o these_o thing_n because_o all_o consider_a man_n will_v clear_o see_v these_o three_o great_a thing_n to_o depend_v upon_o it_o and_o be_v secure_v by_o it_o 1._o the_o honour_n and_o safety_n of_o the_o king_n 2._o the_o honour_n and_o welfare_n of_o this_o city_n 3._o the_o welfare_n and_o quietness_n of_o the_o whole_a kingdom_n all_o these_o next_o to_o god_n blessing_n will_v be_v secure_v by_o the_o loyalty_n of_o this_o capital_a city_n 1._o the_o honour_n and_o safety_n of_o the_o king_n for_o as_o the_o honour_n of_o a_o king_n be_v in_o the_o multitude_n of_o his_o subject_n so_o his_o safety_n consist_v in_o the_o love_n and_o affection_n and_o loyalty_n of_o these_o subject_n and_o the_o great_a the_o number_n of_o subject_n that_o be_v embody_v be_v the_o more_o conducive_a to_o his_o safety_n be_v the_o love_n of_o they_o since_o they_o can_v always_o be_v more_o ready_a as_o well_o as_o able_a to_o yield_v he_o assistance_n and_o to_o strike_v despair_n into_o any_o that_o will_v attempt_v against_o he_o 2._o the_o honour_n and_o welfare_n of_o this_o city_n itself_o he_o that_o will_v search_v into_o the_o cause_n of_o the_o decay_n or_o ruin_n of_o royal_a city_n will_v soon_o find_v their_o separate_n from_o their_o king_n to_o be_v one_o great_a one_o i_o can_v multiply_v instance_n because_o i_o have_v not_o time_n of_o this_o i_o shall_v only_o beg_v you_o to_o call_v to_o your_o remembrance_n a_o instance_n in_o our_o next_o kingdom_n of_o france_n it_o will_v be_v hard_a for_o any_o man_n without_o tear_n to_o read_v the_o misery_n of_o that_o city_n not_o very_o long_o ago_o but_o the_o cause_n be_v obvious_a it_o be_v be_v separate_v from_o their_o king_n by_o the_o faction_n of_o the_o house_n of_o guise_n and_o by_o the_o bewitch_a charm_n of_o a_o holy_a league_n if_o you_o will_v recollect_v your_o own_o misery_n in_o the_o late_a time_n which_o i_o have_v see_v some_o of_o you_o weep_v for_o you_o will_v be_v able_a to_o ascribe_v it_o to_o the_o same_o cause_n effect_v also_o by_o the_o same_o mean_n viz._n the_o enchant_a sorcery_n of_o a_o solemn_a covenant_n honourable_a and_o beloved_n this_o be_v a_o great_a truth_n the_o safety_n of_o the_o king_n depend_v upon_o the_o welfare_n of_o this_o city_n and_o the_o welfare_n of_o this_o city_n depend_v upon_o the_o safety_n of_o the_o king_n and_o if_o man_n will_v look_v into_o the_o truth_n of_o thing_n they_o will_v soon_o perceive_v that_o their_o interest_n be_v complicate_v and_o indeed_o the_o same_o the_o safety_n of_o all_o body_n next_o ever_o to_o god_n blessing_n consist_v in_o the_o firm_a cohesion_n of_o its_o part_n and_o it_o be_v true_a in_o experience_n as_o well_o as_o speculation_n and_o who_o ever_o will_v trace_v either_o the_o ruin_n of_o the_o king_n or_o subsequent_a misery_n of_o this_o city_n to_o their_o first_o origin_n will_v soon_o find_v the_o artifice_n of_o some_o man_n in_o separate_v they_o from_o each_o other_o effect_v both_o and_o you_o may_v see_v the_o same_o thing_n plain_o still_o for_o these_o man_n that_o design_v now_o the_o same_o thing_n again_o do_v pursue_v they_o still_o by_o the_o same_o method_n it_o be_v here_o that_o they_o first_o spread_v their_o net_n and_o place_v their_o engine_n and_o their_o disappointment_n here_o will_v cause_v despair_n and_o unsuccesfulness_n ever_o to_o attend_v their_o mis-chievous_a device_n and_o therefore_o my_o assurance_n that_o i_o speak_v to_o wise_a man_n give_v i_o assurance_n also_o of_o their_o great_a care_n still_o to_o disappoint_v these_o man_n for_o as_o solomon_n say_v sure_o in_o vain_a the_o net_n be_v spread_v in_o the_o sight_n of_o any_o bird_n so_o say_v i_o if_o we_o permit_v the_o same_o man_n by_o the_o same_o method_n to_o trapan_n we_o again_o into_o the_o same_o crime_n and_o make_v we_o serve_v to_o the_o same_o evil_a purpose_n again_o we_o then_o make_v our_o ruin_n our_o own_o guilt_n as_o well_o as_o our_o misery_n and_o must_v perish_v as_o unpitied_a fool_n for_o ever_o but_o god_n i_o hope_v have_v reserve_v we_o to_o better_a purpose_n and_o will_v give_v we_o grace_n to_o pursue_v wise_a counsel_n a_o few_o day_n past_a have_v give_v good_a hope_n that_o the_o genius_n of_o the_o english_a nation_n be_v recover_v itself_o and_o your_o hearty_a compliance_n with_o those_o great_a and_o i_o hope_v wise_a counsel_n will_v be_v mighty_a contributive_a in_o order_n to_o give_v effect_n to_o these_o hope_n 3._o but_o the_o effect_n of_o your_o loyalty_n will_v not_o be_v confine_v in_o so_o narrow_a a_o room_n but_o will_v be_v extend_v to_o the_o benefit_n also_o of_o all_o the_o kingdom_n it_o be_v you_o that_o stamp_v the_o practice_n of_o all_o the_o nation_n by_o your_o carriage_n they_o take_v their_o measure_n and_o make_v your_o action_n their_o precedent_n so_o that_o you_o will_v not_o only_a save_o yourselves_o by_o your_o signal_n loyalty_n but_o you_o will_v be_v

will_v extend_v to_o the_o distant_a shore_n which_o together_o with_o the_o royal_a cedar_n will_v make_v a_o shadow_n under_o which_o yourselves_o and_o all_o the_o nation_n may_v sit_v safe_o and_o sing_v praise_n to_o god_n cheerful_o and_o be_v happy_a in_o the_o contemplation_n of_o your_o great_a bliss_n and_o now_o i_o have_v do_v but_o that_o methinks_v i_o see_v something_o in_o the_o

sing_v this_o lamentation_n with_o such_o hearty_a accent_n of_o pious_a sorrow_n as_o may_v reach_v even_o to_o the_o throne_n of_o god_n and_o be_v accept_v by_o he_o and_o prevail_v with_o he_o for_o pardon_n of_o the_o guilt_n of_o the_o death_n of_o the_o father_n and_o a_o blessing_n to_o descend_v upon_o the_o head_n of_o the_o son_n and_o that_o god_n will_v gracious_o please_v to_o
