by_o way_n of_o caution_n that_o god_n do_v not_o always_o make_v use_n of_o any_o peculiar_a providence_n for_o the_o preservation_n of_o his_o dear_a child_n either_o from_o danger_n arise_v from_o necessary_a or_o free_a agent_n and_o therefore_o we_o be_v not_o rash_o to_o judge_v of_o all_o those_o who_o come_v to_o any_o misfortune_n either_o from_o the_o one_o or_o the_o other_o cause_n sometime_o he_o suffer_v his_o chief_a favourit_n to_o be_v saw_v asunder_o to_o pass_v through_o the_o flame_n and_o those_o of_o who_o the_o world_n be_v not_o worthy_a to_o be_v stone_v and_o slay_v with_o the_o sword_n here_o in_o suffer_v the_o malice_n of_o the_o wicked_a for_o some_o private_a end_n of_o his_o own_o to_o take_v its_o natural_a course_n and_o to_o obtain_v its_o design_a purpose_n sometime_o likewise_o he_o suffer_v his_o own_o child_n to_o come_v to_o sudden_a and_o as_o we_o call_v they_o untimely_a end_n by_o some_o unforeseen_a and_o therefore_o unavoideable_a accident_n but_o chief_o and_o general_o speak_v god_n as_o i_o shall_v show_v you_o be_v please_v to_o give_v signal_n evidence_n of_o his_o particular_a care_n of_o his_o own_o people_n in_o preserve_a they_o from_o the_o many_o fatal_a danger_n they_o be_v subject_a to_o from_o the_o one_o and_o the_o many_o bloody_a contrivance_n that_o threaten_v they_o from_o the_o other_o cause_n 1_o god_n care_n be_v remarkable_a in_o the_o preservation_n of_o his_o servant_n from_o danger_n arise_v from_o natural_a cause_n he_o oftentimes_o for_o the_o safeguard_v and_o protection_n of_o his_o people_n either_o restrain_v the_o violence_n and_o malignity_n of_o they_o or_o else_o alter_v or_o suspend_v their_o property_n thus_o he_o restrain_v the_o consume_a nature_n of_o the_o fire_n in_o the_o over_o heat_n furnace_n into_o which_o the_o three-children_n the_o bold_a opposer_n of_o jdolatry_n to_o the_o king_n face_n be_v cast_v so_o that_o they_o

wonderful_a providence_n of_o god_n who_o first_o motion_v all_o natural_a agent_n must_v needs_o obey_v have_v lose_v its_o innate_a venom_n which_o be_v turn_v into_o a_o innocent_a juice_n and_o this_o be_v one_o of_o the_o promise_n which_o our_o bless_a saviour_n make_v to_o his_o disciple_n a_o little_a before_o his_o ascension_n mention_v by_o st_n mark_v they_o shall_v take_v up_o

upon_o themselves_o thus_o the_o war_n between_o the_o turk_n and_o the_o persian_a be_v for_o a_o long_a time_n the_o safeguard_v and_o preservation_n of_o the_o christian_n in_o hungary_n and_o
