story_n god_n we_o read_v in_o holy_a writ_n preserve_v the_o church_n of_o the_o jew_n by_o the_o conduct_n of_o joseph_n and_o moses_n of_o joshua_n of_o david_n of_o esther_n and_o many_o other_o and_o since_o that_o time_n his_o church_n have_v be_v ever_o dear_a to_o he_o in_o all_o age_n he_o have_v still_o appear_v for_o she_o in_o her_o distress_n and_o affliction_n and_o by_o some_o

among_o we_o in_o raise_v up_o our_o valiant_a and_o renown_a king_n william_n to_o be_v a_o patron_n too_o and_o the_o deliverer_n and_o defender_n thereof_o that_o when_o we_o be_v even_o bring_v to_o the_o very_a brink_n of_o ruin_n and_o in_o the_o eye_n of_o humane_a probability_n we_o have_v scarce_o any_o way_n leave_v to_o escape_v than_o god_n send_v we_o a_o deliverer_n in_o a_o

he_o if_o our_o sin_n do_v not_o prevent_v it_o let_v we_o therefore_o sing_v together_o in_o course_n according_a to_o the_o example_n of_o the_o text_n and_o with_o all_o the_o intention_n and_o power_n of_o our_o soul_n praise_v and_o give_v thanks_o unto_o the_o lord_n for_o he_o be_v good_a and_o his_o mercy_n endure_v for_o ever_o towards_o israel_n in_o discourse_v of_o these_o word_n i_o shall_v observe_v i._o the_o duty_n of_o praise_n and_o thanksgiving_n and_o then_o take_v notice_n of_o the_o object_n thereof_o ii_o i_o shall_v speak_v something_o brief_o to_o the_o subject_a of_o this_o praise_n which_o may_v serve_v as_o a_o argument_n to_o prove_v the_o reasonableness_n of_o the_o duty_n iii_o show_v you_o the_o manner_n how_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v perform_v with_o the_o qualification_n with_o which_o it_o must_v be_v accompany_v to_o render_v it_o acceptable_a to_o god_n and_o profitable_a to_o ourselves_o and_o so_o conclude_v with_o some_o brief_a reflection_n upon_o our_o duty_n i_o begin_v with_o the_o first_o viz._n the_o duty_n of_o praise_n and_o thanksgiving_n and_o this_o be_v always_o incumbent_a upon_o the_o receive_n of_o blessing_n and_o therefore_o the_o holy_a prophet_n call_v upon_o man_n oftentimes_o in_o one_o psalm_n to_o praise_v the_o lord_n for_o his_o goodness_n 31._o psal_n 107.1_o 8_o 15_o 21_o 31._o and_o declare_v the_o wonder_n that_o he_o do_v for_o the_o child_n of_o man_n yea_o he_o call_v upon_o the_o heaven_n and_o the_o earth_n and_o the_o star_n yea_o the_o angel_n in_o heaven_n to_o praise_v the_o lord_n 71.6_o psal_n 71.6_o and_o he_o himself_o will_v praise_v he_o continual_o and_o this_o be_v sometime_o express_v by_o show_v forth_o psal_n 9.1_o sometime_o by_o declare_v his_o do_n psal_n 96.30_o and_o to_o exalt_v his_o praise_n isa_n 38.18_o and_o many_o more_o and_o therefore_o i_o observe_v in_o the_o second_o place_n that_o this_o praise_n must_v have_v a_o determinate_a object_n and_o that_o we_o must_v acknowledge_v to_o be_v twofold_a principal_o god_n and_o secondary_o our_o benefactor_n as_o the_o instrument_n of_o god_n first_o the_o principal_a object_n of_o our_o praise_n and_o thanks_o be_v god_n 1.17_o jam._n 1.17_o for_o it_o be_v from_o he_o that_o every_o good_a and_o perfect_a gift_n come_v say_v the_o apostle_n and_o in_o he_o that_o we_o live_v move_v and_o have_v our_o be_v he_o be_v eminent_o the_o object_n of_o our_o praise_n as_o well_o for_o those_o excellent_a and_o divine_a perfection_n that_o be_v in_o he_o as_o for_o those_o abundant_a blessing_n and_o favour_n which_o he_o bestow_v upon_o we_o which_o deserve_o require_v our_o praise_n and_o adoration_n and_o therefore_o our_o praise_n be_v sometime_o take_v for_o the_o whole_a worship_n of_o god_n as_o st._n paul_n intimate_v 92.5_o rom._n 1.21_o psal_n 92.5_o but_o more_o especial_o for_o that_o joy_n and_o gladness_n which_o we_o conceive_v of_o his_o goodness_n for_o beside_o those_o excellency_n that_o dwell_v in_o he_o we_o have_v innumerable_a benefit_n to_o praise_n and_o thank_v god_n for_o which_o i_o need_v not_o now_o stand_v to_o enumerate_v forasmuch_o as_o the_o repeat_v affluence_n of_o they_o may_v be_v sufficient_a to_o lead_v a_o ingenious_a temper_n to_o the_o acknowledgement_n of_o that_o bounty_n which_o bestow_v such_o good_a thing_n upon_o we_o we_o have_v our_o being_n and_o all_o those_o necessary_a support_v which_o be_v require_v to_o sustain_v and_o refresh_v we_o from_o god_n he_o open_v his_o hand_n 145.16_o psal_n 145.16_o and_o fill_v all_o thing_n live_v with_o plenteousness_n our_o wool_n and_o our_o flax_n our_o corn_n our_o wine_n and_o oil_n come_v all_o from_o the_o bounty_n of_o god_n and_o be_v of_o excellent_a use_n to_o support_v and_o sustain_v our_o humane_a nature_n and_o the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n the_o word_n preach_v and_o the_o sacrament_n due_o administer_v be_v of_o excellent_a use_n to_o beget_v in_o we_o and_o preserve_v we_o to_o a_o spiritual_a and_o eternal_a life_n for_o which_o the_o pious_a example_n and_o the_o renown_a action_n of_o those_o that_o have_v go_v before_o we_o in_o the_o faith_n of_o jesus_n christ_n be_v no_o small_a advantage_n and_o may_v serve_v to_o excite_v our_o diligence_n to_o write_v after_o their_o copy_n that_o at_o last_o we_o may_v be_v partaker_n of_o the_o same_o glory_n with_o they_o in_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n all_o which_o come_v from_o god_n and_o we_o ought_v to_o praise_v and_o thank_v god_n for_o they_o all_o but_o that_o which_o we_o come_v hither_o this_o day_n to_o praise_n and_o thank_v god_n for_o more_o peculiarly_a be_v such_o a_o blessing_n as_o we_o know_v not_o well_o how_o to_o express_v it_o it_o be_v the_o preservation_n of_o his_o majesty_n person_n in_o the_o midst_n of_o so_o eminent_a and_o great_a danger_n by_o who_o as_o god_n instrument_n we_o enjoy_v all_o the_o forementioned_a blessing_n and_o we_o praise_v and_o thank_v god_n this_o day_n for_o the_o success_n of_o his_o arm_n against_o such_o a_o important_a and_o almost_o impregnable_a fortification_n which_o he_o have_v valiant_o wrest_v out_o of_o the_o possession_n of_o our_o enemy_n almost_o in_o the_o sight_n of_o their_o whole_a army_n and_o that_o by_o his_o conduct_n god_n have_v deliver_v so_o many_o thousand_o of_o our_o own_o soldier_n out_o of_o the_o captivity_n of_o our_o enemy_n who_o be_v treacherous_o deliver_v unto_o they_o we_o acknowledge_v the_o providence_n of_o god_n principal_o in_o the_o performance_n of_o all_o this_o and_o therefore_o we_o principal_o praise_v and_o thank_v god_n for_o they_o as_o also_o for_o those_o former_a blessing_n which_o we_o have_v receive_v which_o we_o know_v not_o well_o how_o to_o express_v the_o greatness_n of_o it_o be_v for_o the_o conservation_n of_o our_o pure_a religion_n which_o beyond_o any_o thing_n that_o the_o enemy_n thereof_o can_v ever_o yet_o make_v appear_v be_v the_o most_o pure_a religion_n both_o in_o its_o constitution_n and_o discipline_n in_o its_o precept_n and_o doctrine_n that_o be_v this_o day_n in_o the_o world_n
