nay_o which_o he_o industrious_o avoid_v before_o this_o all_o england_n know_v and_o own_v his_o worth_n and_o have_v it_o be_v put_v to_o the_o poll_n there_o have_v be_v vast_a odds_o on_o his_o

in_o the_o death_n of_o such_o a_o queen_n and_o such_o a_o prelate_n i_o pray_v god_n make_v up_o this_o loss_n in_o a_o word_n that_o great_a passion_n which_o afflict_v and_o oppress_v our_o good_a

yet_o mankind_n be_v very_o apt_a when_o they_o suffer_v hard_a thing_n either_o to_o deny_v a_o providence_n or_o which_o be_v more_o absurd_a and_o unreasonable_a to_o reproach_n for_o if_o there_o be_v a_o god_n he_o be_v wise_a and_o good_a and_o merciful_a and_o just_o which_o be_v the_o notion_n all_o mankind_n have_v of_o god_n and_o if_o this_o god_n govern_v the_o world_n all_o event_n

we_o be_v very_o apt_a to_o ask_v question_n which_o we_o can_v easy_o answer_v and_o then_o to_o make_v our_o own_o ignorance_n a_o objection_n against_o the_o divine_a providence_n as_o in_o the_o case_n before_o we_o of_o the_o sudden_a and_o untimely_a death_n of_o a_o excellent_a princess_n who_o have_v strength_n and_o vigour_n of_o age_n which_o promise_v a_o much_o long_a life_n and_o who_o will_v certain_o have_v do_v great_a good_a to_o the_o world_n as_o long_o as_o she_o have_v live_v but_o be_v cut_v off_o in_o the_o vigour_n and_o strength_n of_o age_n and_o all_o her_o

scourge_v of_o mankind_n now_o though_o we_o do_v not_o know_v the_o particular_a reason_n of_o such_o providence_n yet_o it_o be_v easy_a to_o frame_v some_o general_a answer_n which_o may_v satisfy_v all_o the_o friend_n of_o providence_n if_o the_o objection_n relate_v to_o ourselves_o who_o suffer_v by_o this_o loss_n there_o be_v a_o very_a plain_a answer_n to_o it_o but_o a_o very_a terrible_a one_o that_o god_n be_v angry_a with_o we_o and_o by_o the_o untimely_a death_n of_o a_o excellent_a process_n who_o make_v it_o her_o whole_a study_n and_o design_n to_o do_v we_o good_a threaten_v his_o judgement_n against_o we_o if_o we_o do_v not_o take_v care_n to_o prevent_v they_o by_o a_o timely_a repentance_n if_o the_o objection_n relate_v only_o to_o the_o untimely_a death_n of_o a_o excellent_a princess_n that_o she_o shall_v so_o sudden_o be_v snatch_v away_o from_o the_o joy_n and_o pleasure_n of_o a_o throne_n this_o be_v no_o objection_n at_o all_o at_o least_o not_o a_o objection_n fit_a for_o christian_n to_o make_v for_o can_v we_o think_v that_o the_o great_a and_o most_o happy_a monarch_n lose_v any_o thing_n by_o the_o exchange_n if_o he_o be_v translate_v from_o earth_n to_o heaven_n that_o the_o joy_n of_o paradise_n be_v not_o great_a than_o a_o crown_n our_o good_a queen_n do_v not_o think_v so_o who_o know_v what_o a_o earthly_a crown_n mean_v but_o be_v willing_a to_o part_v with_o it_o for_o heaven_n who_o see_v death_n approach_v without_o fear_n and_o prepare_v to_o receive_v its_o stroke_n with_o such_o calmness_n and_o sedateness_n of_o mind_n as_o nothing_o can_v give_v but_o a_o innocent_a conscience_n and_o much_o great_a hope_n and_o yet_o as_o for_o yourselves_o though_o we_o must_v acknowledge_v that_o we_o have_v receive_v a_o very_a great_a loss_n in_o the_o death_n of_o a_o excellent_a queen_n yet_o we_o have_v no_o reason_n to_o quarrel_v at_o providence_n while_o god_n preserve_v our_o king_n to_o go_v

this_o be_v a_o peculiar_a happiness_n which_o we_o never_o have_v before_o and_o which_o the_o necessity_n of_o our_o affair_n require_v now_o but_o though_o god_n have_v cut_v we_o short_a in_o this_o we_o have_v a_o king_n still_o the_o terror_n of_o france_n and_o the_o protector_n of_o europe_n a_o king_n who_o affection_n as_o well_o as_o blood_n have_v naturalize_v to_o we_o who_o love_v our_o nation_n and_o our_o church_n which_o he_o have_v once_o deliver_v and_o god_n grant_v he_o may_v live_v long_o to_o settle_v and_o protect_v both_o we_o have_v no_o reason_n to_o fear_v

which_o the_o two_o house_n of_o parliament_n have_v set_v we_o to_o give_v he_o such_o fresh_a assurance_n of_o our_o fidelity_n as_o may_v strengthen_v his_o hand_n against_o he_o and_o our_o

of_o prince_n and_o kingdom_n that_o he_o have_v do_v it_o it_o shall_v be_v a_o sufficient_a reason_n to_o we_o to_o submit_v because_o though_o he_o do_v thing_n great_a and_o wonderful_a and_o
