and_o i_o pray_v god_n make_v we_o all_o sensible_a of_o it_o and_o especial_o make_v we_o sensible_a of_o the_o thing_n that_o have_v cause_v it_o namely_o our_o ingratitude_n for_o god_n former_a mercy_n our_o lewdness_n and_o debauchery_n the_o spirit_n of_o atheism_n and_o profaneness_n and_o irreligion_n that_o still_o reign_v among_o we_o as_o much_o as_o ever_o and_o above_o all_o our_o unaccountable_a divide_v ourselves_o into_o party_n and_o pursue_v particular_a pique_n and_o quarrel_n not_o only_o to_o the_o neglect_n but_o to_o the_o plain_a ruin_n of_o our_o common_a interest_n these_o be_v the_o thing_n that_o have_v hinder_v our_o success_n and_o provoke_v god_n displeasure_n against_o we_o and_o till_o these_o thing_n be_v amend_v i_o be_o afraid_a we_o shall_v never_o be_v a_o happy_a nation_n but_o yet_o notwithstanding_o our_o high_a provocation_n yet_o so_o gentle_o have_v god_n correct_v we_o and_o even_o in_o his_o judgement_n so_o much_o have_v he_o remember_v mercy_n that_o we_o have_v all_o reason_n to_o rejoice_v at_o the_o benignity_n and_o kindness_n of_o his_o dispensation_n towards_o we_o nay_o and_o to_o render_v he_o our_o most_o hearty_a and_o solemn_a thanks_o for_o the_o mercy_n that_o he_o have_v bestow_v upon_o we_o even_o with_o respect_n to_o the_o matter_n we_o complain_v of_o for_o god_n have_v real_o so_o far_o hear_v our_o prayer_n this_o year_n that_o he_o have_v give_v we_o the_o most_o important_a success_n though_o not_o the_o success_n we_o desire_v he_o have_v keep_v the_o war_n at_o a_o distance_n from_o we_o and_o we_o have_v under_o the_o happy_a government_n of_o her_o majesty_n live_v free_a from_o all_o disturbance_n at_o home_n every_o man_n sit_v under_o his_o own_o vine_n and_o his_o own_o figtree_n as_o the_o prophet_n speak_v enjoy_v his_o religion_n and_o right_n in_o perfect_a peace_n and_o with_o a_o bountiful_a provision_n likewise_o from_o god_n hand_n of_o all_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v either_o needful_a or_o convenient_a and_o as_o for_o our_o success_n abroad_o though_o it_o be_v not_o proper_a for_o i_o to_o talk_v of_o those_o matter_n yet_o i_o believe_v thus_o much_o i_o may_v decent_o and_o true_o say_v that_o though_o the_o king_n have_v not_o the_o victory_n be_v overpower_a by_o number_n yet_o he_o gain_v more_o honour_n and_o sustain_v less_o loss_n than_o those_o that_o boast_v of_o the_o victory_n and_o which_o be_v yet_o more_o god_n have_v not_o only_o preserve_v his_o person_n amid_o the_o infinite_a hazard_n he_o be_v continual_o expose_v to_o and_o return_v he_o safe_a to_o we_o but_o return_v he_o likewise_o with_o such_o reputation_n for_o his_o courage_n and_o vigilance_n and_o conduct_v in_o the_o difficulty_n he_o have_v to_o struggle_v with_o as_o have_v gain_v he_o the_o high_a esteem_n among_o his_o enemy_n and_o therefore_o ought_v much_o more_o to_o endear_v he_o to_o his_o own_o subject_n and_o now_o let_v all_o this_o be_v consider_v and_o then_o let_v any_o man_n say_v that_o real_o love_v the_o interest_n of_o his_o country_n whether_o we_o have_v not_o reason_n to_o look_v upon_o these_o thing_n as_o great_a blessing_n and_o as_o such_o to_o return_v our_o solemn_a thanks_o to_o god_n for_o they_o and_o then_o in_o the_o second_o place_n as_o to_o our_o future_a success_n let_v we_o all_o cheerful_o depend_v upon_o god_n providence_n and_o trust_v in_o his_o mercy_n for_o they_o this_o be_v all_o the_o rejoice_v that_o we_o can_v express_v as_o to_o future_a thing_n and_o this_o be_v that_o which_o the_o apostle_n call_v rejoice_v in_o hope_n and_o sure_o great_a reason_n have_v we_o thus_o to_o do_v when_o we_o consider_v who_o it_o be_v that_o order_n our_o affair_n one_o who_o kindness_n we_o have_v no_o reason_n to_o doubt_v of_o have_v have_v so_o many_o experience_n of_o it_o even_o beyond_o our_o hope_n and_o expectation_n and_o one_o likewise_o upon_o who_o power_n we_o may_v secure_o depend_v since_o his_o arm_n be_v not_o shorten_v nor_o ever_o can_v be_v how_o much_o soever_o our_o arm_n of_o flesh_n may_v god_n almighty_a be_v our_o king_n and_o he_o both_o certain_o know_v and_o will_v certain_o do_v that_o which_o be_v best_a for_o we_o provide_v we_o take_v care_n to_o do_v that_o which_o become_v we_o away_o therefore_o with_o all_o fear_n and_o
