all their Enemies on every side but that they shewed no kindness to the House of Jerubbaal namely Gideon who had been his Instrument in it According to a● the goodness which He had shewed unto Israel Jud. 8. 34 35. I said Secondly It would well become us to rejoyce and be thankfull upon the Score of the great Deliverance which the King under God has wrought for Us. Imagine but that you see the Sword going through the Land wearied and blunted by destruction and Dragoons usurping the Office of Apostles with the cruelty of their Persecutors Imagine your holy Religion ravish'd from you and turn'd out of doors and this Excellent Church made a Prey and a Scorn to the dullest Impudence and the vilest Superstition and in a word all Europe Enslaved to the merciless Tyrany of one great Leviathan who takes his Pastime therein in Scenes of Blood and Desolation Go aske in France and Piedmont in Ireland Inquire of the Inquisition and then give me an aestimate of our Deliverance But I 'le dwell no longer upon this Argument He who is not at this day sensible of the inseperable attendants upon those twins of Popery and Arbritrary-Power doubtless one of those who would fain represent the little Finger of a Tax rais'd to keep them out heavier than both their Loins is proof against all reason and experience and boldly out-faces all mankind and pittie it is but He were taught them as Gideon taught the men of Succoth with Briers and Thorns Judges 8. 16. We may likewise Farther to excite our thankfulness upon this joyfull Occasion recollect the several appearanc●s of God's finger through many of the Periods of this great Affair as that a Design of such Importance and which we since find was communicated to so many should yet be carried on with such Secrecy and Reserv'dness that farr the greatest part of the Nation was surpriz'd into Safety That the counsels of our enemies Achitophels was turn'd into such gross folly as to help on the Advancement of that which they so zealously sought to destroy That the Nation as debaucht as it was by their means and Artifices could not yet be corrupted or putrified I may say into Popery That a great and formidable Army should scatter and disperse it self almost without Opposition That the breath of the Winds were lately so suddenly stopt and their Mouth 's turn'd quite another way to save our Fleet and us from destruction That another Numero●● Army should be seized with a sort of panick fear before any just cause of fear overtook them These I say together with the preservation of the King's Person in such Eminent hazards and several other particulars that need not to be enumerated are such plain Signatures and Characters of an Immediate Interposal from above that a man may verily say This is the Day which the Lord hath made we will rejoyce and be glad in it And long may the happy Occasion of this Day not only endure like the day of Josuah when the Sun stood still in Gibeon and the Moon in the Valley of Ajalon but like the Sun its ordinary course arise in due time to its Zenith make a perfect day and bless all the Confederate Regions with Its warmth and influence May the glorious Occasion of it be joyn'd with the days of Heaven and be measur'd together with Eternity Blessed then be God who hath not cast out our Prayer nor turn'd his Mercy from us but hath turned our fasting into feasting and our heaviness into joy who hath put off our sackcloth and girded us with gladness Blessed be God who hath not deliver'd us up as a prey unto our Enemies teeth nor hath made those that hate us Lords over us but hath turn'd the Captivity of our Sion preserv'd our Religion and continued the Establishment of our Church Blessed lastly be God and let all the people say Amen who hath delivered the King and Servant From the peril of the Sword and has given Him Victory in the battle Even so Amen FINIS ERRATA EPist Dedicat. line 4. r.
