hand_n already_o there_o be_v a_o arithmetical_a declaration_n of_o our_o mercy_n and_o victory_n in_o the_o field_n and_o over_o stronghold_n this_o last_o year_n new_o set_v out_o and_o print_v

these_o make_v up_o the_o history_n of_o the_o work_n of_o god_n the_o four_o be_v a_o rhetorical_a declaration_n when_o beside_o a_o bare_a narrative_a of_o the_o fact_n etc._n etc._n which_o be_v

do_v homage_n to_o the_o honour_n of_o god_n the_o holy_a penman_n have_v be_v admirable_a in_o this_o read_v the_o song_n of_o moses_n exod._n 15._o the_o song_n of_o deborah_n judg._n 5._o the_o

wit_n not_o with_o affectation_n or_o pedantic_a pomp_n of_o word_n but_o with_o sobriety_n and_o holy_a gravity_n not_o as_o austin_n i_o remember_v censure_v a_o passage_n in_o one_o of_o his_o

our_o declaration_n of_o the_o work_n of_o god_n must_v not_o be_v taint_v with_o wantonness_n and_o vanity_n lightness_n and_o curiosity_n we_o must_v not_o flourish_v and_o word_n it_o only_o with_o

to_o set_v down_o the_o time_n and_o place_n when_o and_o where_o we_o sin_v but_o it_o be_v our_o duty_n to_o make_v rhetorical_a confession_n to_o aggravate_v our_o sin_n against_o ourselves_o to_o

that_o this_o and_o that_o be_v do_v our_o heart_n and_o head_n shall_v be_v busy_v in_o search_a thing_n to_o the_o bottom_n and_o in_o give_v a_o accent_n to_o every_o circumstance_n for_o as_o a_o

this_o rhetorical_a declaration_n of_o the_o work_n of_o god_n first_o consider_v they_o in_o reference_n to_o the_o way_n which_o god_n take_v to_o bring_v they_o about_o he_o work_v sometime_o

often_o make_v opposition_n and_o cross_a counsel_n serve_v his_o end_n he_o make_v a_o table_n out_o of_o a_o snare_n and_o what_o be_v intend_v for_o our_o cast_v down_o the_o occasion_n of_o our_o

strength_n of_o opposer_n their_o helper_n and_o abettor_n their_o height_n and_o former_a success_n their_o resolvednesse_n and_o rage_n their_o pride_n and_o confidence_n from_o all_o these_o learn_v how_o vast_a a_o mercy_n it_o be_v to_o be_v deliver_v from_o they_o three_o consider_v the_o time_n when_o god_n work_v for_o we_o the_o season_n be_v as_o much_o as_o the_o mercy_n itself_o we_o have_v have_v remarkable_a heightning_n of_o mercy_n from_o the_o date_n of_o our_o mercy_n what_o a_o remarkable_a mercy_n for_o the_o season_n be_v the_o expedition_n to_o gloucester_n when_o we_o be_v as_o it_o be_v die_v and_o give_v all_o up_o what_o a_o seasonable_a mercy_n be_v the_o victory_n at_o nazeby_n in_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o last_o year_n when_o we_o be_v despondent_a and_o sink_v in_o our_o spirit_n you_o may_v find_v the_o like_a seasonableness_n of_o many_o other_o mercy_n as_o word_n speak_v so_o action_n do_v in_o season_n be_v like_o apple_n of_o gold_n in_o
