not_o think_v that_o almighty_a god_n can_v bless_v this_o city_n and_o preserve_v it_o from_o destruction_n but_o for_o as_o much_o as_o we_o know_v the_o city_n innocency_n in_o they_o all_o especial_o the_o innocency_n of_o the_o governor_n of_o this_o city_n where_o chief_o the_o charge_n be_v lay_v we_o think_v it_o not_o only_o possible_a but_o certain_a that_o almighty_a god_n will_v bless_v this_o city_n and_o preserve_v it_o from_o destruction_n notwithstanding_o the_o malice_n power_n policy_n plot_n and_o project_n of_o all_o the_o enemy_n thereof_o as_o bless_v be_v his_o holy_a name_n he_o have_v hitherto_o do_v and_o sure_o we_o can_v think_v that_o god_n can_v bless_v leave_v to_o himself_o the_o liberty_n of_o his_o free_a and_o rich_a grace_n that_o party_n of_o papist_n atheist_n and_o profane_a wretch_n that_o under_o prerence_n of_o fight_v for_o the_o true_a protestant_n reform_v religion_n law_n of_o the_o land_n and_o liberty_n of_o subject_n shall_v go_v about_o to_o undermine_v kill_v and_o destroy_v the_o religion_n law_n and_o liberty_n of_o the_o kingdom_n and_o although_o such_o may_v prosper_v sometime_o in_o judgement_n and_o not_o in_o mercy_n yet_o god_n will_v find_v a_o time_n for_o a_o account_n hereof_o to_o their_o terror_n for_o if_o man_n will_v most_o hypocritical_o make_v god_n justify_v their_o wickedness_n by_o pretend_v his_o cause_n and_o approbation_n god_n will_v most_o seasonable_o justify_v himself_o and_o his_o righteousness_n by_o their_o ruin_n and_o destruction_n but_o the_o good_a god_n give_v repentance_n
