the_o church_n among_o the_o jewish_a nation_n in_o her_o infancy_n but_o we_o be_v to_o use_v it_o also_o as_o a_o thanksgiving_a for_o every_o particular_a deliverance_n which_o be_v vouchsafe_v to_o the_o visible_a church_n in_o these_o time_n as_o in_o memorial_n of_o our_o miraculous_a preservation_n in_o the_o year_n 1588._o when_o our_o princely_a deborah_n the_o queen_n of_o this_o
