pull_v off_o and_o such_o deform_a visage_n have_v appear_v to_o have_v be_v disguise_v under_o it_o that_o it_o be_v to_o be_v hope_v that_o the_o people_n of_o this_o kingdom_n or_o city_n will_v not_o be_v easy_o cheat_v again_o into_o a_o belief_n of_o the_o honesty_n or_o good-meaning_n of_o any_o person_n who_o join_v in_o a_o party_n against_o the_o lawful_a government_n they_o live_v under_o let_v their_o pretence_n be_v what_o they_o will_n it_o be_v otherwise_o with_o true_a religion_n it_o be_v quite_o of_o another_o genius_n it_o beget_v other_o temper_n and_o spirit_n in_o men._n the_o wisdom_n that_o come_v from_o above_o be_v first_o pure_a then_o peaceable_a especial_o our_o christianity_n be_v so_o admirable_o fit_v for_o the_o benefit_n and_o advantage_n of_o society_n that_o be_v there_o no_o obligation_n to_o the_o practice_n of_o it_o from_o the_o consideration_n of_o another_o life_n yet_o all_o wise_a man_n will_v think_v themselves_o bind_v to_o

welfare_n depend_v upon_o the_o manner_n of_o man_n we_o may_v thence_o conclude_v how_o much_o it_o be_v the_o interest_n as_o well_o as_o duty_n of_o all_o governor_n and_o magistrate_n in_o their_o several_a place_n to_o discourage_v and_o punish_v all_o vice_n and_o wickedness_n and_o to_o countenance_n and_o promote_v true_a religion_n which_o be_v the_o great_a instrument_n of_o political_a

therefore_o religion_n do_v full_o reward_v the_o civil_a power_n for_o all_o the_o protection_n they_o can_v give_v it_o true_a religion_n tend_v so_o much_o to_o the_o establishment_n and_o prosperity_n of_o any_o nation_n that_o they_o who_o office_n it_o be_v to_o look_v after_o the_o public_a good_a can_v do_v any_o thing_n better_o for_o themselves_o or_o for_o the_o people_n commit_v to_o their_o charge_n for_o the_o secure_v their_o own_o just_a authority_n or_o maintain_v the_o people_n in_o peace_n and_o good_a order_n than_o by_o all_o mean_n to_o preserve_v and_o increase_v among_o they_o a_o reverence_n and_o obedience_n to_o almighty_a god_n and_o his_o law_n this_o will_v keep_v they_o in_o firm_a subjection_n to_o their_o superior_n this_o will_v unite_v they_o one_o to_o another_o in_o love_n and_o charity_n and_o which_o be_v never_o to_o be_v forget_v this_o will_v procure_v god_n blessing_n both_o upon_o governor_n and_o people_n and_o since_o christian_n be_v unhappy_o divide_v into_o several_a denomination_n and_o communion_n take_v that_o church_n i_o beseech_v you_o into_o your_o especial_a care_n and_o patronage_n who_o principle_n do_v most_o effectual_o contribute_v towards_o man_n orderly_a and_o quiet_a live_v together_o in_o society_n if_o you_o can_v find_v any_o church_n or_o body_n of_o christian_n in_o the_o world_n who_o doctrine_n be_v more_o loyal_a who_o government_n be_v better_a consistent_a with_o monarchy_n who_o practice_n have_v be_v more_o peaceable_a at_o all_o time_n than_o the_o reform_a church_n of_o england_n i_o will_v even_o exhort_v you_o then_o to_o forsake_v and_o renounce_v we_o and_o not_o only_o tolerate_v but_o establish_v and_o set_v up_o that_o church_n among_o we_o but_o in_o this_o certain_o our_o church_n have_v no_o competitor_n peaceable_n and_o quiet_a live_n under_o the_o civil_a government_n always_o be_v and_o be_v still_o the_o glory_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n this_o praise_n she_o stand_v upon_o and_o challenge_v as_o due_a to_o she_o and_o on_o this_o account_n do_v she_o with_o confidence_n recommend_v herself_o and_o all_o her_o true_a member_n to_o the_o care_n and_o protection_n of_o those_o who_o be_v in_o power_n and_o authority_n that_o they_o will_v be_v so_o just_a as_o to_o defend_v that_o religion_n that_o church_n which_o do_v best_a defend_v and_o support_v the_o public_a state_n 3._o hence_o we_o may_v learn_v the_o true_a cause_n of_o all_o those_o public_a evil_n and_o calamity_n that_o have_v befall_v this_o kingdom_n or_o city_n of_o late_a year_n our_o sin_n have_v be_v the_o natural_a cause_n of_o some_o of_o they_o the_o meritorious_a cause_n of_o other_o some_o we_o have_v bring_v upon_o ourselves_o as_o the_o necessary_a effect_n of_o our_o own_o wicked_a course_n other_o god_n in_o justice_n have_v inflict_v upon_o we_o as_o the_o punishment_n of_o our_o disobedience_n i_o shall_v not_o now_o undertake_v to_o give_v in_o a_o catalogue_n of_o those_o many_o sin_n that_o we_o in_o this_o city_n have_v be_v notorious_o guilty_a of_o i_o have_v much_o rather_o leave_v that_o work_n to_o yourselves_o for_o every_o man_n to_o smite_v upon_o his_o own_o breast_n in_o which_o he_o will_v find_v a_o faithful_a monitor_n i_o mean_v his_o conscience_n which_o will_v impartial_o tell_v he_o wherein_o he_o have_v provoke_v god_n and_o contribute_v to_o those_o judgement_n and_o distraction_n we_o have_v labour_v under_o if_o so_o be_v he_o will_v but_o patient_o attend_v to_o its_o suggestion_n and_o give_v it_o leave_v and_o opportunity_n free_o to_o speak_v unto_o he_o i_o be_o sure_a it_o much_o more_o become_v we_o all_o this_o day_n to_o give_v glory_n to_o god_n and_o to_o take_v shame_n to_o ourselves_o and_o to_o charge_n and_o accuse_v ourselves_o than_o whole_o to_o shift_v off_o all_o the_o gild_n &_o blame_v upon_o other_o we_o be_v very_o apt_a indeed_o to_o impute_v these_o public_a evil_n to_o other_o cause_n we_o be_v very_o curious_a in_o guess_v at_o the_o immediate_a instrument_n of_o they_o and_o which_o be_v worst_a of_o all_o too_o many_o among_o we_o have_v be_v on_o all_o occasion_n ready_a to_o lay_v all_o public_a miscarriage_n and_o misfortune_n at_o the_o door_n of_o their_o governor_n and_o superior_n whereas_o the_o true_a cause_n have_v be_v from_o ourselves_o wherein_o no_o one_o can_v acquit_v himself_o though_o some_o far_o more_o innocent_a than_o other_o but_o i_o shall_v rather_o choose_v to_o spend_v that_o little_a time_n your_o patience_n can_v yet_o allow_v i_o in_o persuade_v you_o all_o to_o amend_v than_o in_o rip_v up_o the_o vice_n of_o this_o age_n or_o city_n or_o several_a party_n of_o man_n among_o we_o for_o which_o we_o may_v just_o suppose_v god_n have_v visit_v we_o with_o the_o plague_n this_o dreadful_a fire_n and_o which_o be_v no_o less_o punishment_n those_o unnatural_a division_n and_o heat_n which_o of_o late_a so_o violent_o break_v out_o among_o we_o and_o threaten_v sudden_a ruin_n both_o to_o church_n and_o state_n 4._o and_o last_o this_o doctrine_n which_o i_o have_v now_o prove_v to_o you_o teach_v we_o the_o best_a expedient_a to_o prevent_v such_o judgement_n for_o the_o future_a and_o to_o settle_v we_o in_o firm_a peace_n which_o be_v a_o general_a reformation_n of_o our_o life_n and_o manner_n bless_a be_v god_n the_o case_n be_v much_o mend_v with_o we_o since_o the_o dreadful_a burn_v of_o london_n our_o city_n have_v be_v many_o year_n rebuilt_a and_o that_o more_o splendid_a and_o glorious_a than_o before_o we_o miss_v not_o that_o number_n of_o inhabitant_n who_o be_v sweep_v away_o by_o the_o devour_a plague_n nor_o hardly_o now_o do_v we_o feel_v any_o of_o the_o dismal_a effect_n of_o that_o terrible_a fire_n we_o seem_v to_o have_v weather_v out_o those_o sore_a calamity_n and_o though_o of_o late_a our_o intestine_a animosity_n arise_v to_o such_o a_o height_n as_o that_o we_o all_o fear_v a_o woeful_a interruption_n of_o our_o peace_n yet_o god_n have_v not_o as_o hitherto_o deliver_v we_o into_o our_o own_o hand_n nor_o suffer_v we_o to_o destroy_v ourselves_o nay_o thing_n tend_v at_o present_a towards_o a_o happy_a settlement_n and_o composure_n and_o we_o begin_v to_o entertain_v hope_n of_o live_v in_o quiet_a

dreadful_a a_o storm_n seem_v in_o some_o measure_n to_o be_v disperse_v yet_o let_v we_o not_o deceive_v ourselves_o and_o rash_o conclude_v that_o the_o bitterness_n of_o death_n be_v now_o past_a for_o as_o i_o say_v at_o first_o the_o same_o cause_n will_v always_o produce_v the_o same_o effect_n and_o if_o the_o same_o sin_n still_o continue_v among_o we_o they_o will_v soon_o be_v attend_v with_o the_o same_o or_o worse_a desolation_n and_o confusion_n if_o this_o be_v the_o natural_a effect_n of_o prevail_a atheism_n profaneness_n and_o contempt_n of_o religion_n of_o hatred_n and_o
