be_v not_o very_o unworthy_a if_o we_o shall_v not_o we_o may_v be_v sure_a that_o god_n be_v wise_a and_o good_a and_o because_o he_o be_v our_o god_n we_o ought_v to_o have_v honourable_a thought_n of_o what_o he_o do_v in_o reference_n to_o we_o and_o especial_o when_o his_o providence_n be_v mark_v with_o the_o most_o visible_a token_n of_o his_o love_n and_o care_n and_o though_o in_o the_o do_n of_o it_o he_o choose_v rather_o to_o follow_v the_o counsel_n of_o his_o own_o will_n than_o to_o please_v one_o party_n of_o man_n rather_o than_o another_o yet_o those_o that_o be_v modest_a will_v conclude_v that_o god_n be_v wise_a and_o better_a than_o they_o and_o those_o that_o be_v ingenuous_a will_v be_v thankful_a and_o though_o some_o look_v so_o far_o before_o they_o as_o to_o be_v uneasy_a at_o their_o foresight_n without_o a_o due_a trust_n in_o god_n yet_o for_o present_a mercy_n we_o ought_v to_o give_v he_o praise_n it_o be_v great_a grace_n in_o the_o master_n of_o the_o vineyard_n 13.6_o luke_n 13.6_o to_o spare_v his_o fruitless_a figtree_n one_o year_n more_o and_o great_a still_o that_o it_o shall_v be_v dress_v and_o manure_v and_o those_o that_o foresee_v

only_o so_o but_o to_o seek_v the_o peace_n of_o the_o land_n and_o every_o one_o in_o his_o place_n to_o endeavour_v to_o assist_v that_o establishment_n wherein_o we_o hope_v heaven_n design_n to_o

so_o strong_o oblige_v to_o and_o though_o the_o observance_n of_o our_o duty_n in_o this_o case_n as_o well_o as_o other_o may_v be_v defeat_v of_o its_o natural_a reward_n in_o this_o life_n yet_o we_o be_v sure_a that_o when_o we_o have_v do_v live_v here_o it_o will_v be_v our_o comfort_n but_o this_o be_v not_o all_o we_o be_v concern_v in_o in_o this_o case_n but_o that_o also_o every_o one_o in_o his_o place_n seek_v the_o peace_n of_o the_o land_n and_o endeavour_v to_o assist_v the_o establishment_n that_o through_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n we_o now_o enjoy_v and_o there_o be_v this_o reason_n for_o it_o viz._n that_o we_o know_v what_o our_o present_a condition_n be_v and_o that_o it_o promise_v well_o if_o our_o ill_a management_n and_o our_o sin_n do_v not_o obstruct_v it_o but_o what_o condition_n another_o revolution_n may_v put_v we_o into_o we_o can_v tell_v but_o have_v great_a reason_n to_o fear_v it_o will_v be_v a_o very_a sad_a one_o and_o in_o the_o first_o place_n those_o that_o bear_v a_o share_n in_o the_o government_n and_o especial_o such_o as_o be_v in_o the_o high_a orb_n ought_v not_o only_o to_o be_v true_a to_o it_o and_o with_o all_o reverence_n be_v it_o speak_v just_a to_o the_o office_n they_o fill_v but_o also_o by_o their_o active_a motion_n to_o set_v the_o lesser_a wheel_n a_o go_v that_o a_o universal_a life_n and_o vigour_n may_v run_v through_o and_o be_v see_v in_o all_o the_o part_n of_o the_o commonwealth_n it_o be_v indeed_o a_o most_o unhappy_a and_o no_o less_o wicked_a thing_n if_o those_o in_o eminent_a post_n especial_o keep_v their_o place_n only_o for_o the_o profit_n of_o they_o but_o much_o worse_o if_o they_o do_v it_o to_o make_v a_o advantage_n of_o the_o government_n and_o destroy_v it_o together_o doubtless_o such_o have_v sad_a cause_n to_o remember_v their_o dismal_a account_n while_o the_o unfortunate_a nation_n lament_v its_o hard_a fate_n pray_v heaven_n to_o deliver_v it_o from_o such_o plague_n if_o the_o life_n of_o any_o politic_a body_n be_v only_o perceive_v by_o that_o sacred_a hunger_n in_o its_o minister_n it_o be_v just_a such_o another_o fatal_a symptom_n as_o that_o of_o excessive_a greediness_n in_o some_o sick_a people_n a_o little_a before_o their_o death_n but_o then_o this_o aught_o to_o be_v remember_v that_o when_o the_o flourish_a ivy_n by_o its_o

veneration_n to_o our_o terrestrial_a god_n and_o that_o be_v that_o they_o will_v remember_v 82.7_o psal_n 82.7_o that_o they_o shall_v die_v like_o man_n and_o stand_v before_o that_o great_a judge_n with_o who_o there_o be_v no_o respect_n of_o person_n 19.7_o 2_o chr._n 19.7_o and_o as_o for_o those_o in_o inferior_a station_n i_o hearty_o pray_v that_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n may_v so_o rest_v upon_o their_o mind_n that_o they_o be_v find_v faithful_a and_o may_v give_v up_o their_o account_n with_o joy_n at_o the_o last_o and_o great_a day_n and_o here_o it_o may_v not_o be_v amiss_o to_o consider_v a_o little_a wherein_o especial_o the_o endeavour_n of_o man_n be_v most_o likely_a to_o be_v advantageous_a and_o successful_a for_o the_o establishment_n and_o peace_n of_o any_o people_n and_o without_o be_v tedious_a in_o prove_v it_o i_o will_v presume_v to_o say_v that_o the_o protection_n of_o heaven_n be_v the_o best_a defence_n and_o religion_n its_o best_a establishment_n and_o therefore_o to_o secure_v these_o be_v the_o great_a policy_n and_o the_o wise_a practice_n that_o justice_n and_o judgement_n be_v execute_v that_o atheism_n blasphemy_n profaneness_n and_o perjury_n be_v discourage_v and_o punish_v out_o of_o the_o world_n that_o oppression_n violence_n and_o murder_n receive_v their_o just_a reward_n that_o the_o fear_n and_o

most_o important_a concern_v of_o government_n for_o this_o as_o it_o be_v the_o most_o natural_a and_o rational_a security_n of_o society_n so_o it_o will_v also_o interest_n we_o in_o the_o care_n of_o heaven_n 8.31_o rom._n 8.31_o and_o if_o god_n be_v for_o we_o who_o can_v be_v against_o we_o the_o most_o active_a and_o cautious_a management_n the_o most_o critical_a contrivance_n and_o execution_n of_o law_n for_o the_o security_n of_o our_o interest_n and_o conveniency_n be_v but_o the_o try_v of_o so_o many_o experiment_n which_o we_o can_v tell_v whether_o they_o will_v do_v or_o
