there_o be_v nothing_o dear_a to_o god_n then_o his_o sacred_a word_n and_o the_o save_n of_o soul_n for_o which_o the_o son_n of_o god_n be_v incarnate_a and_o suffer_v shame_n and_o reproach_n and_o a_o cruel_a death_n now_o when_o once_o the_o true_a religion_n be_v establish_v in_o a_o nation_n the_o plant_n and_o propagate_n of_o it_o be_v of_o all_o religious_a cause_n the_o next_o in_o order_n by_o the_o necessity_n of_o just_a consequence_n for_o otherwise_o we_o make_v ourselves_o unworthy_a of_o so_o great_a a_o benefit_n and_o at_o length_n we_o hazard_v the_o loss_n of_o it_o as_o for_o this_o our_o nation_n it_o have_v abound_v in_o wealth_n and_o peace_n heretofore_o and_o that_o of_o a_o very_a long_a time_n together_o through_o the_o great_a and_o rich_a blessing_n of_o god_n upon_o it_o wherefore_o it_o be_v much_o to_o be_v lament_v that_o in_o all_o that_o peaceable_a time_n a_o pious_a learned_a ministry_n have_v not_o be_v plant_v and_o settle_v throughout_o the_o land_n as_o it_o may_v and_o aught_o to_o have_v be_v for_o this_o cause_n especial_o as_o i_o in_o my_o conscience_n be_o persuade_v be_v the_o wrath_n of_o god_n incense_v and_o stir_v up_o against_o the_o land_n other_o sin_n there_o be_v very_o great_a and_o many_o even_o a_o multitude_n and_o heap_n of_o they_o but_o the_o neglect_n and_o contempt_n of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n in_o this_o kind_n overthrow_v all_o in_o the_o foundation_n under_o correction_n it_o may_v seem_v to_o overthrow_v the_o ground_n of_o public_a proceed_n in_o the_o late_a lamentable_a war_n which_o i_o can_v declare_v more_o particular_o if_o i_o think_v it_o convenient_a sure_o i_o be_o if_o we_o refuse_v to_o plant_v our_o own_o and_o the_o only_a true_a religion_n when_o god_n give_v time_n and_o mean_n to_o do_v it_o our_o conscience_n if_o we_o ask_v they_o will_v tell_v we_o that_o we_o do_v altogether_o deserve_v to_o be_v plague_v with_o the_o contrary_a it_o be_v god_n exceed_v great_a mercy_n and_o forbearance_n that_o the_o true_a protestant_a religion_n which_o we_o praise_v and_o profess_v be_v not_o utter_o take_v from_o we_o a_o good_a while_n ago_o and_o the_o antichristian_a place_v and_o set_v up_o in_o the_o room_n thereof_o we_o have_v want_v neither_o time_n nor_o mean_n to_o do_v the_o will_n of_o god_n in_o this_o kind_n but_o we_o have_v want_v love_n and_o good_a will_n to_o stir_v we_o up_o thereunto_o if_o we_o have_v find_v and_o know_v the_o sweetness_n of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n in_o ourselves_o and_o for_o our_o own_o particular_n how_o be_v it_o that_o we_o have_v not_o earnest_o seek_v to_o communicate_v it_o to_o other_o when_o thou_o be_v convert_v say_v he_o convert_v thy_o brother_n it_o be_v extreme_a cruelty_n thus_o to_o neglect_v the_o soul_n of_o our_o brethren_n and_o neighbour_n which_o ought_v to_o be_v as_o dear_a unto_o we_o as_o our_o own_o he_o live_v not_o the_o life_n of_o a_o

teach_v in_o the_o day_n of_o solemn_a assembly_n i_o mean_v the_o sabbath_n day_n in_o the_o public_a church_n according_a to_o the_o ordinance_n and_o appointment_n of_o god_n there_o be_v nothing_o under_o heaven_n that_o may_v be_v compare_v to_o the_o benefit_n thereof_o it_o be_v the_o ease_n and_o release_v of_o all_o weekly_a labour_n all_o worldly_a sorrow_n misery_n and_o trouble_n and_o in_o some_o degree_n it_o be_v a_o lively_a representation_n of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n where_o the_o psalme-singer_n the_o holy_a saint_n and_o angel_n be_v fill_v with_o unspeakable_a joy_n and_o gladness_n by_o their_o continual_a behold_n of_o the_o glorious_a presence_n of_o god_n and_o give_v he_o thanks_n and_o praise_n as_o it_o be_v write_v in_o the_o book_n of_o the_o psalm_n in_o thy_o presence_n be_v the_o fullness_n of_o joy_n and_o at_o thy_o right_a hand_n there_o be_v pleasure_n for_o evermore_o i_o will_v short_o conclude_v this_o point_n with_o a_o brief_a recicall_a of_o that_o which_o be_v utter_v at_o the_o council_n or_o rather_o the_o conspiracy_n of_o trent_n it_o be_v well_o know_v that_o that_o council_n be_v pack_v and_o plot_v for_o the_o pope_n nevertheless_o there_o be_v divers_a grave_n learned_a judicious_a and_o religious_a man_n convene_v therein_o and_o no_o great_a favourer_n of_o the_o pope_n among_o who_o the_o bishop_n of_o toledo_n sit_v as_o ambassador_n for_o his_o master_n the_o king_n of_o spain_n speak_v thus_o i_o have_v hear_v it_o often_o say_v that_o if_o there_o be_v yet_o but_o one_o soul_n to_o be_v save_v suppose_v that_o the_o propitiation_n for_o sin_n be_v not_o thorough_o make_v as_o it_o be_v christ_n will_v descend_v again_o and_o suffer_v wherefore_o quoth_v he_o i_o marvel_v with_o what_o conscience_n the_o pope_n can_v give_v himself_o any_o rest_n have_v the_o cure_n of_o so_o many_o church_n lie_v upon_o he_o and_o no_o course_n take_v to_o discharge_v the_o same_o thus_o speak_v he_o according_a to_o the_o common_a error_n and_o opinion_n of_o the_o delude_a prince_n and_o people_n of_o those_o time_n as_o touch_v the_o unlimited_a power_n and_o jurisdiction_n of_o the_o pope_n over_o all_o church_n the_o application_n whereof_o be_v easy_a to_o be_v make_v in_o regard_n of_o those_o many_o desolate_a and_o unprovided_a church_n in_o this_o our_o land_n but_o i_o omit_v it_o for_o brevity_n sake_n humble_o refer_v it_o to_o all_o pious_a prudent_a serious_a and_o religious_a consideration_n for_o the_o long_o that_o this_o matter_n be_v defer_v the_o more_o

i_o shall_v humble_o crave_v leave_n to_o descend_v to_o the_o three_o and_o last_o particular_a which_o i_o have_v in_o my_o intention_n to_o have_v propose_v to_o the_o say_a late_a king_n that_o be_v to_o say_v for_o the_o work_n of_o the_o work_n of_o mercy_n and_o charity_n towards_o the_o poor_a in_o a_o magnificent_a sort_n answerable_a to_o his_o regal_a estate_n and_o in_o some_o degree_n to_o the_o exigency_n of_o the_o people_n for_o otherwise_o as_o for_o the_o distribute_n of_o small_a sum_n of_o money_n at_o certain_a time_n we_o know_v there_o be_v a_o ordinary_a course_n settle_v in_o the_o office_n of_o the_o king_n almoner_n about_o a_o year_n or_o two_o ago_o i_o hear_v of_o somewhat_o that_o be_v intend_v by_o the_o parliament_n to_o be_v do_v in_o this_o kind_n within_o the_o city_n of_o london_n which_o give_v i_o the_o great_a encouragement_n to_o speak_v and_o treat_v of_o the_o matter_n here_o i_o will_v not_o press_v this_o duty_n to_o the_o present_a state_n in_o these_o so_o chargeable_a time_n but_o that_o i_o know_v most_o assure_o how_o it_o may_v be_v most_o easy_o and_o convenient_o perform_v notwithstanding_o any_o tax_n or_o payment_n now_o already_o impose_v upon_o the_o people_n or_o ever_o likely_a to_o be_v impose_v it_o may_v be_v do_v in_o a_o privative_a way_n and_o in_o a_o positive_a in_o this_o place_n i_o

the_o divine_a justice_n of_o god_n can_v bear_v it_o let_v not_o my_o fancy_n or_o folly_n be_v object_v against_o i_o in_o this_o case_n but_o let_v the_o matter_n be_v examine_v by_o the_o word_n of_o god_n which_o be_v the_o rule_n of_o truth_n in_o the_o three_o chap._n of_o the_o prophecy_n of_o isaiah_n there_o be_v a_o particular_a enumeration_n and_o recital_n of_o those_o proud_a

there_o he_o will_v seem_v to_o trifle_v and_o to_o deal_v absurd_o and_o ridiculous_o but_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n do_v not_o trifle_n neither_o be_v any_o word_n of_o god_n idle_a or_o vain_a
