shall_v be_v save_v psal_n 80.18_o 19_o and_o i_o will_v yet_o add_v a_o word_n or_o two_o which_o i_o will_v preface_n as_o john_n do_v 1_o john_n cap_n 2._o v._o 1._o these_o thing_n i_o write_v unto_o you_o that_o you_o sin_v not_o what_o i_o be_o about_o to_o speak_v i_o speak_v that_o new-england_n sin_v not_o yet_o if_o it_o shall_v so_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o new_a england_n shall_v yet_o be_v more_o sinful_a &_o more_o miserable_a than_o now_o it_o be_v which_o god_n prevent_v for_o his_o mercys_n sake_n which_o endure_v for_o ever_o yet_o there_o be_v scripture_n ground_n to_o hope_n that_o after_o god_n have_v vindicate_v his_o holiness_n by_o sore_a punishment_n on_o we_o god_n will_v again_o restore_v reform_v and_o bless_v new-england_n and_o have_v a_o name_n and_o a_o praise_n to_o himself_o in_o the_o wilderness_n of_o the_o posterity_n of_o his_o people_n if_o any_o shall_v say_v yet_o what_o be_v become_v of_o the_o asian_a african_a and_o european_a church_n that_o be_v long_o since_o desolate_v i_o will_v give_v these_o two_o answer_n 1._o that_o be_v become_v of_o they_o that_o shall_v make_v new-england_n fear_v and_o tremble_v and_o beware_v of_o idolatry_n superstition_n profaneness_n and_o unrighteousness_n and_o remember_v from_o whence_o they_o be_v fall_v and_o do_v their_o first_o work_n we_o shall_v cry_v mighty_o to_o god_n to_o pardon_v our_o sin_n past_a and_o to_o reform_v all_o amiss_o and_o prevent_v our_o far_a declension_n that_o his_o jealousy_n burn_v not_o like_a fire_n against_o we_o as_o it_o have_v do_v against_o they_o 2._o i_o will_v also_o say_v that_o we_o ought_v not_o to_o entertain_v such_o desperate_a conclusion_n as_o if_o all_o place_n that_o have_v be_v eminent_a for_o the_o christian_a religion_n and_o be_v now_o degenerate_a and_o in_o most_o ruinous_a circumstance_n be_v utter_o forsake_v of_o god_n we_o ought_v as_o well_o to_o think_v what_o god_n will_v yet_o do_v for_o they_o as_o well_o as_o what_o he_o have_v do_v against_o they_o i_o shall_v not_o easy_o be_v bring_v to_o believe_v that_o god_n have_v take_v his_o last_o leave_n of_o the_o forementioned_a place_n i_o think_v i_o have_v prove_v the_o contrary_a already_o and_o that_o god_n will_v again_o restore_v reform_v and_o bless_v they_o and_o for_o the_o same_o reason_n i_o believe_v that_o god_n will_v glorify_v his_o mercy_n in_o america_n as_o well_o as_o his_o justice_n jealousy_n and_o severity_n for_o the_o earth_n be_v full_a of_o the_o lord_n mercy_n psal_n 119._o v._n 64._o and_o his_o tender_a mercy_n be_v over_o all_o his_o work_n psal_n 145.10_o and_o all_o his_o work_n shall_v praise_v he_o in_o all_o place_n of_o his_o dominion_n psal_n 103.22_o i_o pretend_v to_o nothing_o singular_a in_o all_o this_o i_o believe_v some_o monitory_a expression_n of_o man_n much_o better_o than_o myself_o have_v be_v wrest_v beyond_o their_o intention_n and_o that_o have_v pass_v for_o their_o opinion_n which_o only_o be_v intend_v by_o way_n of_o admonition_n and_o that_o the_o same_o person_n hope_v better_a thing_n concern_v new-england_n thing_n that_o accompany_v salvation_n even_o restauration_n reformation_n and_o benediction_n and_o i_o believe_v that_o they_o be_v as_o good_a friend_n to_o new-england_n as_o any_o in_o the_o land_n and_o daily_o pray_v that_o this_o land_n may_v be_v as_o much_o yea_o more_o than_o ever_o it_o be_v a_o habitation_n of_o justice_n and_o mountain_n of_o holiness_n thus_o much_o of_o the_o doctrine_n in_o general_a suffer_v i_o a_o word_n or_o two_o more_o relate_v to_o the_o occasion_n of_o the_o day_n and_o i_o will_v not_o abuse_v your_o patience_n any_o long_o we_o have_v feel_v the_o rebuke_n of_o god_n on_o our_o liberty_n and_o privilege_n and_o government_n as_o well_o as_o on_o other_o thing_n god_n have_v break_v the_o pride_n or_o excellency_n of_o new_a england_n power_n our_o liberty_n and_o privilege_n be_v not_o just_a the_o same_o that_o sometime_o they_o have_v be_v although_o it_o be_v better_a with_o we_o still_o in_o those_o respect_n than_o we_o deserve_v and_o if_o thing_n be_v not_o just_a as_o we_o will_v have_v they_o be_v yet_o they_o be_v just_a as_o god_n and_o the_o king_n will_v have_v they_o be_v which_o i_o hope_v will_v quiet_v the_o mind_n of_o all_o good_a man_n and_o good_a subject_n and_o if_o we_o shall_v again_o find_v favour_n in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n and_o the_o king_n it_o may_v perhaps_o be_v some_o time_n or_o other_o better_a with_o we_o than_o it_o be_v or_o ever_o be_v however_o it_o be_v our_o duty_n and_o interest_n to_o make_v the_o best_a and_o most_o of_o our_o present_a liberty_n and_o privilege_n thanks_o be_v to_o god_n and_o the_o king_n our_o house_n &_o land_n be_v our_o own_o without_o every_o man_n be_v at_o the_o cost_n of_o a_o charter_n and_o yet_o we_o have_v the_o liberty_n of_o our_o religion_n and_o the_o free_a exercise_n of_o it_o without_o subscribe_v to_o new_a article_n of_o faith_n worship_n or_o discipline_n which_o be_v a_o great_a favour_n of_o god_n if_o we_o have_v wisdom_n and_o grace_n to_o improve_v it_o right_o and_o man_n do_v not_o interpret_v this_o liberty_n perverse_o and_o use_v it_o for_o a_o occasion_n to_o the_o flesh_n and_o think_v they_o may_v cast_v off_o the_o public_a worship_n profane_v the_o sabbath_n neglect_v the_o ordinance_n and_o think_v to_o do_v what_o be_v right_a in_o their_o own_o eye_n though_o they_o confound_v all_o religion_n peace_n and_o order_n if_o any_o shall_v so_o think_v and_o act_n i_o hope_v they_o will_v find_v themselves_o mistake_v for_o the_o true_a notion_n of_o liberty_n of_o conscience_n be_v liberty_n to_o lead_v quiet_a and_o peaceable_a life_n in_o all_o godliness_n and_o honesty_n without_o restraint_n from_o the_o government_n or_o popular_a confusion_n and_o disturbance_n in_o maxima_fw-la libertate_fw-la est_fw-la minima_fw-la licentia_fw-la the_o government_n also_o be_v in_o a_o good_a measure_n elective_a on_o the_o people_n part_n and_o so_o far_o as_o it_o be_v so_o may_v be_v very_o beneficial_a if_o conscientious_o and_o discreet_o

free_a from_o compulsion_n nundination_n and_o faction_n and_o such_o aught_o to_o be_v choose_v as_o excel_v in_o piety_n probity_n and_o prudence_n and_o so_o far_o as_o will_v consist_v with_o our_o circumstance_n of_o good_a extract_n erudition_n and_o estate_n furnish_v well_o for_o the_o service_n of_o god_n and_o the_o king_n and_o their_o generation_n according_a to_o the_o will_n of_o

the_o best_a king_n upon_o earth_n who_o never_o yet_o give_v we_o cause_n to_o complain_v in_o that_o matter_n but_o to_o rejoice_v in_o his_o royal_a wisdom_n and_o goodness_n and_o paternal_a care_n so_o make_v the_o apostle_n direction_n easy_a to_o submit_v to_o every_o ordinance_n of_o man_n for_o the_o lord_n sake_n whether_o it_o be_v to_o the_o king_n as_o supreme_a or_o unto_o
