our Ingratitude For when we shall be Evil because he is Good sin the more boldly because his Grace doth abound he will repent him of his Kindness and both hasten and aggravate our Desolation There is a general Corruption and Degeneracy in our Morals and that calls for a general Reformation and Amendment The Golden Scepter of Mercy is held forth unto us O that we would draw near and touch it The day of Salvation is before us O that we would accept and embrace it and understand at least in this our Day the things which belong unto our Peace before they are hid from our Eyes 3. And lastly This discourse may serve to Animate all True English-men and Real Protestants against the many Fears and Jealousies which are raised by Male-Contents There is a Generation of Men that not in imitation of our Saviour go about doing Good but like the envious Man are every where sowing their Tares among the Good Seed Not doing the Office of Evangelists Pastors and Teachers but the miserable Drudgery of Seducers deceiving and being deceived How industriously do they labour to prevent that Union and Agreement which under God is the only way to secure us against Domestick and Foreign Enemies And to take the Well-affected off if it were possible from their Loyalty to their Present Majesties how many hints do they give us of the Dutch the Taxes or Presbyterians representing our Condition as much worse since our Deliverance Nay they would perswade the World that the whole design is to ruine the Church aggrandize themselves and enslave us and our Posterity But blessed be God we are well assured of the contrary and we know that these suggestions are the Artifices of Intriegueing Men to disquiet and unsettle us Who knowing that nothing can mischief us but Division do what they can to hinder our Union And therefore let us not be discouraged upon any account but trust still to that Gracious Providence which hath guarded us hitherto both for our present and future Safety living in an awful Obedience to the Laws of God in a conscientious submission to the Establish'd Government and in hearty Affection towards one another And thus trusting and doing No Weapon formed against us shall prosper For if God be for us who can be against us FINIS Aquin. sup Rom.
