till_o now_o at_o length_n we_o be_v arrive_v at_o our_o secure_a port_n of_o peace_n and_o happiness_n and_o let_v we_o under_o a_o due_a sense_n of_o all_o this_o as_o a_o gracious_a method_n of_o heaven_n in_o bring_v to_o pass_v this_o glorious_a work_n of_o peace_n let_v we_o add_v mighty_o to_o the_o thanks_o of_o this_o day_n and_o accumulate_v our_o praise_n offering_n to_o god_n for_o such_o a_o constant_a succession_n of_o mercy_n towards_o we_o since_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o war._n and_o this_o let_v we_o do_v not_o only_o for_o a_o day_n or_o two_o but_o for_o a_o considerable_a time_n to_o come_v nay_o for_o our_o whole_a life_n if_o it_o be_v possible_a because_o such_o signal_n mercy_n do_v require_v a_o considerable_a space_n of_o time_n wherein_o grateful_o to_o commemorate_v they_o and_o because_o we_o may_v reasonable_o believe_v that_o we_o shall_v enjoy_v the_o benefit_n of_o this_o peace_n as_o long_o as_o we_o live_v while_o we_o live_v therefore_o let_v we_o praise_v the_o lord_n and_o while_o we_o have_v any_o be_v let_v we_o sing_v praise_n to_o our_o god_n second_o we_o must_v glorify_v god_n in_o declare_v his_o goodness_n to_o other_o that_o so_o we_o may_v stir_v they_o up_o to_o a_o admiration_n of_o the_o great_a god_n and_o cause_n if_o it_o be_v possible_a the_o whole_a world_n to_o join_v together_o in_o adore_v the_o infinite_a perfection_n of_o his_o nature_n this_o be_v one_o great_a reason_n why_o god_n do_v oftentimes_o so_o visible_o interpose_v his_o hand_n in_o humane_a affair_n viz._n that_o man_n may_v see_v and_o know_v and_o consider_v and_o understand_v together_o that_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o lord_n have_v do_v this_o and_o the_o holy_a one_o of_o israel_n have_v create_v it_o by_o the_o exercise_n of_o his_o wisdom_n and_o power_n and_o goodness_n in_o the_o affair_n of_o the_o world_n god_n will_v bring_v man_n to_o a_o acknowledgement_n of_o his_o authority_n to_o a_o obedience_n of_o his_o law_n to_o a_o belief_n of_o his_o word_n to_o a_o dependence_n on_o and_o resignation_n to_o he_o in_o all_o the_o circumstance_n of_o life_n and_o therefore_o it_o shall_v be_v the_o great_a concern_v of_o all_o man_n as_o they_o tender_v the_o glory_n of_o god_n in_o the_o sincere_a practice_n of_o religion_n to_o declare_v and_o make_v know_v his_o signal_n providence_n through_o the_o world_n and_o to_o endeavour_v in_o all_o sincerity_n and_o gentleness_n to_o bring_v man_n over_o to_o a_o sight_n and_o acknowledgement_n of_o they_o that_o so_o they_o may_v say_v very_o there_o be_v a_o reward_n for_o the_o righteous_a very_o there_o be_v a_o god_n that_o judge_v the_o earth_n three_o we_o must_v glorify_v god_n in_o our_o duty_n to_o the_o king_n it_o redound_v to_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n for_o caesar_n to_o have_v the_o thing_n which_o be_v caesar_n as_o well_o as_o for_o god_n to_o have_v the_o thing_n which_o be_v god_n for_o there_o be_v nothing_o wherein_o god_n do_v more_o plain_o discover_v his_o infinite_a perfection_n than_o in_o the_o establishment_n of_o government_n upon_o earth_n and_o ordain_v king_n to_o rule_v over_o we_o here_o his_o wisdom_n his_o justice_n his_o power_n his_o goodness_n do_v all_o of_o they_o appear_v in_o a_o most_o conspicuous_a manner_n and_o for_o man_n not_o to_o acknowledge_v their_o power_n not_o to_o be_v obedient_a to_o their_o law_n not_o to_o pay_v they_o they_o their_o tribute_n not_o to_o speak_v reverent_o of_o they_o not_o to_o honour_v they_o as_o god_n vicegerent_n upon_o earth_n be_v i_o be_o sure_a to_o cast_v dirt_n in_o god_n face_n and_o instead_o of_o honour_v he_o to_o affront_v he_o in_o the_o high_a degree_n imaginable_a and_o now_o more_o especial_o we_o have_v great_a reason_n to_o be_v very_o fruitful_a in_o all_o the_o branch_n of_o our_o duty_n to_o the_o king_n for_o now_o after_o a_o great_a many_o fatigue_n and_o danger_n which_o he_o voluntary_o expose_v himself_o to_o for_o our_o sake_n he_o be_v return_v home_o with_o the_o olive-branch_n of_o peace_n in_o his_o mouth_n and_o will_v make_v we_o if_o we_o be_v not_o want_v to_o ourselves_o a_o flourish_a and_o happy_a people_n it_o be_v to_o his_o goodness_n and_o love_n to_o his_o wisdom_n and_o care_n to_o his_o courage_n and_o conduct_n under_o god_n that_o we_o owe_v our_o preservation_n and_o peace_n and_o therefore_o to_o he_o next_o to_o god_n let_v we_o ascribe_v all_o due_a thanks_o and_o honour_n all_o just_a admiration_n and_o praise_n all_o sincere_a love_n and_o obedience_n as_o the_o seasonable_a instrument_n of_o all_o our_o happiness_n let_v he_o now_o live_v in_o peace_n since_o he_o have_v make_v it_o himself_o and_o not_o find_v it_o a_o hard_a thing_n to_o get_v the_o heart_n of_o his_o subject_n than_o the_o neck_n of_o his_o enemy_n four_o we_o must_v glorify_v god_n in_o the_o amendment_n of_o our_o life_n and_o here_o it_o be_v that_o we_o shall_v glorify_v god_n indeed_o this_o be_v the_o great_a glory_n we_o can_v possible_o give_v to_o god_n and_o that_o which_o he_o expect_v from_o we_o as_o a_o most_o reasonable_a service_n at_o all_o time_n but_o more_o especial_o when_o he_o have_v be_v please_v to_o confer_v any_o signal_n benefit_n upon_o we_o he_o have_v show_v thou_o woman_n such_o thing_n as_o he_o good_a he_o have_v deliver_v thou_o from_o great_a evil_n and_o establish_v thou_o in_o a_o happy_a condition_n and_o what_o do_v the_o lord_n require_v of_o thou_o but_o to_o do_v just_o and_o to_o love_v mercy_n and_o to_o walk_v humble_o with_o thy_o god_n let_v the_o light_n therefore_o so_o shine_v before_o man_n that_o they_o may_v see_v your_o good_a work_n and_o glorify_v your_o father_n which_o be_v in_o heaven_n hale_v your_o conversation_n honest_a among_o the_o gentile_n that_o whereas_o they_o speak_v against_o you_o as_o evil_a doer_n they_o may_v by_o your_o good_a work_n which_o they_o shall_v behold_v glorify_v god_n in_o the_o day_n of_o visitation_n five_o more_o particular_o let_v i_o recommend_v to_o you_o mutual_a love_n and_o affection_n one_o towards_o another_o and_o that_o to_o your_o godliness_n in_o general_n you_o will_v add_v brotherly_a kindness_n in_o particular_a this_o i_o be_o sure_a the_o apostle_n look_v upon_o as_o very_o instrumental_a towards_o the_o promote_a of_o god_n glory_n now_o the_o god_n of_o patience_n and_o consolation_n grant_v you_o to_o be_v like-minded_n one_o towards_o another_o and_o for_o what_o reason_n but_o that_o they_o may_v with_o one_o mind_n and_o one_o month_n glorify_v the_o father_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n chr_v as_o it_o conduce_v to_o the_o honour_n of_o a_o master_n to_o have_v his_o family_n in_o good_a order_n and_o to_o the_o honour_n of_o a_o king_n to_o keep_v his_o subject_n in_o quietness_n and_o peace_n so_o it_o high_o conduce_v to_o the_o honour_n of_o the_o great_a god_n when_o his_o creature_n live_v in_o a_o mutual_a love_n and_o esteem_v of_o each_o other_o they_o do_v thereby_o signify_v their_o obedience_n to_o his_o law_n and_o copy_n out_o that_o great_a original_n who_o be_v love_n itself_o and_o who_o tender_a mercy_n be_v over_o all_o his_o work_n let_v we_o then_o in_o the_o name_n of_o god_n lay_v aside_o all_o dispute_n and_o difference_n all_o rancour_n and_o malice_n and_o revenge_n and_o live_v in_o the_o sincere_a love_n and_o friendship_n of_o one_o another_o now_o we_o have_v peace_n let_v we_o live_v in_o peace_n now_o we_o have_v peace_n from_o our_o enemy_n let_v we_o not_o be_v so_o foolish_a as_o to_o throw_v up_o the_o ball_n among_o ourselves_o never_o let_v it_o be_v say_v that_o we_o have_v bring_v the_o war_n home_o and_o let_v i_o beseech_v you_o to_o lay_v the_o axe_n to_o the_o root_n of_o the_o tree_n i_o mean_v of_o this_o pernicious_a tree_n of_o animosity_n and_o dissension_n which_o do_v oftentimes_o spread_v itself_o so_o impious_o large_a as_o to_o lash_v not_o only_o the_o king_n and_o government_n but_o religion_n itself_o and_o god_n the_o author_n of_o it_o the_o root_n be_v little_a private_a whisper_n and_o resentment_n and_o grugdes_n and_o misunderstanding_n of_o one_o another_o in_o thing_n of_o small_a moment_n and_o value_n which_o in_o time_n do_v advance_v to_o that_o height_n as_o contumelious_o to_o disgorge_v themselves_o upon_o a_o man_n king_n and_o his_o god_n too_o i_o be_o very_o persuade_v that_o most_o of_o our_o difference_n in_o church_n and_o state_n be_v in_o a_o great_a measure_n owe_v to_o these_o little_a misunderstanding_n and_o resentment_n in_o our_o private_a conversation_n and_o therefore_o as_o we_o tender_v the_o glory_n of_o god_n in_o the_o unity_n of_o the_o church_n and_o the_o good_a of_o government_n in_o the_o honour_n of_o the_o king_n let_v we_o now_o lay_v they_o all_o aside_o and_o expel_v they_o our_o neighbourhood_n for_o ever_o and_o if_o we_o must_v keep_v up_o contention_n among_o we_o let_v our_o only_a contention_n be_v who_o shall_v forgive_v first_o and_o love_n best_o let_v our_o only_a

may_v expect_v that_o god_n will_v bless_v we_o and_o suffer_v we_o to_o enjoy_v the_o peace_n which_o he_o have_v give_v we_o and_o which_o he_o see_v we_o be_v so_o careful_a to_o keep_v and_o
