of_o the_o wisdom_n of_o the_o nation_n the_o credit_n thereof_o be_v thus_o far_o raise_v again_o by_o a_o protector_n what_o may_v be_v do_v if_o it_o have_v a_o king_n of_o such_o a_o heroic_a spirit_n and_o able_a conduct_n we_o look_v upon_o the_o nation_n therefore_o as_o raise_v from_o the_o dead_a and_o set_v upon_o its_o foot_n to_o act_v in_o its_o true_a interest_n from_o which_o it_o be_v heretofore_o keep_v back_o former_o the_o spaniard_n have_v his_o snare_n upon_o all_o the_o counsel_n but_o these_o be_v now_o break_v and_o we_o make_v no_o doubt_n but_o the_o wise_a and_o generous_a representative_n now_o assemble_v will_v maintain_v the_o credit_n of_o the_o nation_n against_o he_o the_o success_n of_o the_o war_n hitherto_o have_v not_o be_v such_o as_o can_v bring_v gain_n seldom_o be_v it_o see_v that_o the_o begin_n of_o a_o war_n be_v gainful_a but_o we_o conceive_v it_o have_v not_o be_v undertake_v so_o much_o for_o gain_v as_o for_o justice_n and_o reputation_n and_o in_o this_o respect_n we_o find_v it_o very_o successful_a both_o in_o reference_n to_o the_o cause_n and_o to_o the_o event_n which_o may_v be_v foresee_v by_o those_o that_o be_v intelligent_a the_o protestant_a cause_n in_o europe_n be_v sensible_a of_o it_o and_o although_o in_o such_o a_o vast_a enterprise_n the_o event_n can_v be_v sudden_o apparent_a to_o all_o yet_o it_o may_v be_v perceive_v that_o in_o a_o short_a time_n be_v continue_v it_o will_v certain_o ruin_v the_o great_a enemy_n of_o the_o peace_n of_o europe_n and_o drain_v the_o fountain_n of_o his_o power_n and_o break_v the_o antichristian_a yoke_n which_o hitherto_o for_o the_o papal_a interest_n he_o have_v put_v upon_o the_o conscience_n of_o all_o christian_n who_o have_v deal_v with_o he_o we_o mean_v the_o inquisition_n by_o which_o he_o be_v a_o open_a enemy_n to_o all_o christian_a freedom_n a_o tyranny_n of_o the_o high_a nature_n that_o can_v be_v imagine_v and_o under_o which_o all_o deserve_v to_o lie_v who_o spirit_n be_v so_o base_a as_o not_o to_o join_v in_o oppose_v it_o till_o the_o upholder_n of_o it_o be_v make_v as_o contemptible_a as_o ever_o they_o intend_v to_o be_v eminent_a by_o their_o affect_a monarchy_n and_o if_o there_o be_v no_o more_o in_o the_o quarrel_n but_o this_o alone_a the_o reputation_n of_o england_n will_v be_v glorious_a for_o ever_o in_o the_o mind_n of_o all_o man_n of_o piety_n and_o honour_n for_o lift_v up_o a_o banner_n against_o it_o when_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o world_n do_v fit_a still_o under_o it_o we_o see_v daily_o that_o some_o nation_n make_v war_n with_o their_o neighbour_n for_o raise_v tax_n of_o money_n or_o infringe_v the_o liberty_n of_o their_o trade_n and_o shall_v not_o all_o christian_a state_n become_v sensible_a of_o such_o abominable_a tax_n of_o the_o person_n and_o life_n of_o their_o subject_n and_o of_o the_o infringement_n of_o the_o whole_a liberty_n of_o their_o gospel_n profession_n it_o shall_v therefore_o henceforth_o true_o be_v say_v that_o no_o nation_n be_v sensible_a of_o true_a liberty_n but_o england_n and_o that_o all_o deserve_v to_o be_v slave_n that_o take_v not_o up_o this_o quarrel_n with_o it_o and_o chief_o those_o who_o for_o the_o love_n of_o filthy_a lucre_n either_o strengthen_v the_o hand_n of_o tyranny_n by_o assist_v he_o in_o his_o occasion_n of_o war_n or_o withdraw_v their_o strength_n and_o the_o assistance_n due_a to_o those_o that_o do_v oppose_v he_o therefore_o we_o be_v confident_a that_o the_o pious_a &_o generous_a representative_n of_o the_o high_o esteem_a nation_n of_o england_n will_v not_o be_v want_v in_o supply_n or_o stick_v at_o extraordinary_a charge_n herein_o than_o what_o ever_o the_o event_n of_o the_o war_n may_v be_v will_v the_o piety_n the_o justice_n and_o the_o courage_n of_o the_o nation_n be_v renown_v to_o all_o christian_a posterity_n that_o they_o alone_o have_v stand_v up_o for_o the_o freedom_n of_o conscience_n not_o for_o themselves_o alone_o but_o for_o all_o that_o make_v profession_n of_o the_o truth_n and_o this_o shall_v raise_v the_o spirit_n of_o all_o honest_a man_n so_o much_o the_o more_o by_o how_o much_o it_o be_v apparent_a that_o christ_n have_v raise_v a_o man_n as_o it_o be_v out_o of_o nothing_o beyond_o all_o man_n expectation_n to_o take_v this_o work_n in_o hand_n whence_o the_o success_n of_o the_o enterprise_n can_v be_v doubt_v of_o see_v it_o be_v the_o way_n of_o god_n to_o evidence_n miraculous_o his_o power_n and_o to_o overthrow_v the_o mighty_a of_o the_o earth_n by_o that_o which_o have_v the_o least_o appearance_n bless_a be_v his_o name_n for_o it_o and_o let_v all_o that_o love_v he_o in_o truth_n say_v amen_o there_o be_v one_o thing_n more_o wherein_o the_o reputation_n of_o england_n be_v concern_v which_o although_o it_o be_v not_o so_o apparent_a to_o the_o world_n as_o the_o former_a enterprise_n yet_o in_o itself_o it_o be_v no_o less_o considerable_a and_o to_o the_o intelligent_a who_o have_v notice_n of_o it_o be_v a_o matter_n of_o no_o less_o rejoice_v we_o have_v hear_v of_o it_o and_o conceive_v if_o it_o be_v prosecute_v of_o which_o we_o doubt_v not_o as_o it_o be_v hopeful_o begin_v it_o will_v advance_v the_o spiritual_a interest_n of_o saint_n in_o one_o another_o and_o the_o kingdom_n of_o christ_n thereby_o more_o effectual_o than_o the_o break_n of_o the_o outward_a tirannical_a power_n of_o the_o adversary_n can_v do_v it_o be_v the_o design_n of_o take_v away_o the_o division_n which_o be_v among_o protestant_n and_o set_v a_o religious_a correspondency_n a_o foot_n among_o they_o for_o the_o propagate_a of_o the_o truth_n wherein_o they_o be_v agree_v at_o this_o design_n as_o the_o godly_a on_o both_o side_n be_v comfort_v and_o raise_v in_o spirit_n to_o hope_v cheerful_o for_o a_o bless_a enlargement_n of_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n so_o the_o adversary_n of_o the_o truth_n be_v more_o than_o ordinary_o startle_v and_o trouble_v at_o the_o apprehension_n of_o the_o event_n which_o be_v no_o small_a presage_n that_o the_o lord_n be_v go_v along_o with_o the_o design_n and_o shall_v be_v a_o encouragement_n to_o all_o intelligent_a man_n to_o join_v in_o the_o work_n because_o that_o which_o the_o enemy_n of_o the_o truth_n fear_v most_o all_o that_o have_v receive_v the_o truth_n in_o the_o love_n thereof_o shall_v seek_v most_o to_o bring_v to_o pass_v this_o work_n of_o a_o correspondency_n between_o england_n and_o foreign_a protestant_n for_o the_o interest_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v one_o of_o the_o wise_a resolution_n and_o proposal_n which_o the_o parliament_n in_o the_o year_n 1641._o in_o their_o remonstrance_n to_o the_o late_a king_n make_v as_o to_o be_v one_o of_o the_o effect_n of_o their_o domestic_a reformation_n then_o intend_v but_o the_o unfortunate_a man_n follow_v a_o contrary_a course_n to_o the_o way_n propose_v and_o do_v not_o only_o decline_v the_o reformation_n but_o correspond_v with_o the_o enemy_n of_o the_o gospel_n open_v a_o door_n unto_o they_o to_o bring_v in_o their_o superstition_n into_o england_n and_o scotland_n and_o to_o enlarge_v it_o in_o ireland_n but_o god_n have_v disappoint_v wonderful_o all_o those_o design_n as_o have_v be_v evident_a to_o all_o the_o world_n therefore_o have_v begin_v with_o they_o when_o they_o be_v at_o the_o height_n of_o their_o undertake_n to_o overthrow_v it_o we_o may_v assure_o conclude_v that_o he_o will_v also_o make_v a_o full_a end_n for_o he_o have_v declare_v his_o purpose_n that_o he_o will_v arise_v for_o his_o people_n to_o shake_v terrible_o the_o earth_n and_o what_o he_o have_v purpose_v who_o shall_v disannul_v it_o and_o when_o his_o hand_n be_v streched_a out_o to_o execute_v his_o purpose_n who_o shall_v turn_v it_o back_o therefore_o let_v all_o that_o be_v upright_o in_o heart_n be_v strong_a to_o work_v with_o the_o lord_n for_o the_o unite_n of_o his_o saint_n that_o their_o light_n may_v break_v forth_o as_o the_o noon_n day_n and_o the_o glory_n of_o the_o lord_n goodness_n may_v be_v see_v upon_o they_o let_v none_o look_v back_o as_o lot_n wife_n do_v to_o regret_n the_o loss_n of_o temporal_a conveniency_n but_o all_o look_v forward_o to_o follow_v the_o footstep_n of_o the_o almighty_a who_o be_v
