these_o first_o i_o insist_v on_o such_o a_o subject_n because_o my_o text_n as_o i_o say_v do_v exact_v it_o of_o i_o and_o because_o it_o be_v my_o duty_n at_o least_o to_o wish_v that_o the_o day_n break_v forth_o may_v be_v full_a and_o last_a that_o the_o repentance_n of_o the_o nation_n may_v be_v impartial_a and_o so_o to_o our_o sovereign_n return_n there_o may_v be_v add_v his_o continuance_n in_o peace_n and_o safety_n i_o say_v in_o safety_n not_o more_o to_o his_o person_n than_o his_o posterity_n nor_o in_o safety_n for_o a_o season_n so_o long_o as_o man_n be_v well_o humour_a but_o so_o long_o as_o the_o sun_n or_o the_o moon_n endure_v and_o then_o for_o you_o of_o this_o place_n who_o be_v a_o honourable_a part_n of_o the_o english_a nation_n that_o which_o i_o take_v to_o be_v your_o duty_n i_o think_v be_v your_o interest_n to_o endeavour_v the_o most_o i_o be_o press_v on_o you_o be_v this_o that_o you_o will_v labour_v for_o the_o mean_n of_o your_o be_v happy_a if_o you_o think_v you_o can_v be_v happy_a with_o the_o establishment_n of_o the_o prelacy_n i_o shall_v pray_v you_o may_v be_v happy_a at_o least_o without_o it_o and_o also_o wish_v i_o may_v be_v able_a to_o pray_v with_o faith_n too_o only_o as_o often_o as_o i_o reflect_v on_o king_n james_n his_o motto_n no_o bishop_n no_o king_n and_o withal_o do_v consider_v its_o have_v be_v verify_v once_o and_o before_o our_o eye_n i_o think_v it_o my_o duty_n to_o desire_v it_o may_v not_o be_v verify_v any_o more_o but_o that_o it_o may_v rather_o be_v here_o apply_v what_o be_v speak_v heretofore_o of_o the_o spartan_a law_n ut_fw-la semper_fw-la esse_fw-la possent_fw-la aliquando_fw-la non_fw-la fuerunt_fw-la they_o only_o cease_v for_o a_o time_n to_o the_o end_n they_o may_v continue_v to_o all_o eternity_n these_o be_v sincere_o the_o very_a reason_n for_o which_o i_o insist_v upon_o such_o a_o subject_a second_o i_o do_v it_o in_o such_o a_o place_n because_o i_o look_v on_o this_o assembly_n as_o on_o the_o head_n and_o the_o heart_n of_o the_o royal_a city_n i_o look_v on_o the_o city_n as_o on_o a_o sea_n into_o which_o the_o main_a stream_n of_o the_o
