ruin_n to_o move_v our_o pity_n or_o sorrow_n and_o indeed_o be_v this_o the_o only_a design_n of_o this_o annual_a fast_a it_o be_v high_a time_n to_o put_v a_o end_n to_o it_o or_o to_o turn_v it_o into_o a_o thanksgiving_n festival_n for_o it_o be_v in_o vain_a to_o expect_v that_o after_o three_o and_o thirty_o year_n the_o return_n of_o this_o day_n shall_v revive_v and_o renew_v our_o sorrow_n and_o lamentation_n when_o our_o ruin_n be_v remove_v our_o loss_n repair_v and_o those_o frightful_a impression_n which_o the_o sight_n of_o that_o devour_a fire_n make_v on_o we_o forget_v and_o little_o leave_v to_o put_v we_o in_o mind_n that_o our_o city_n be_v burn_v but_o the_o inscription_n upon_o the_o monument_n and_o the_o sight_n of_o a_o new_a city_n with_o the_o several_a date_n of_o its_o resurrection_n which_o must_v needs_o qualify_v all_o melancholy_a and_o sorrowful_a reflection_n on_o what_o be_v so_o long_o pass_v but_o though_o the_o design_n of_o this_o solemnity_n be_v not_o to_o represent_v and_o act_v over_o again_o a_o new_a doleful_a scene_n of_o horror_n confusion_n and_o amazement_n which_o neither_o nature_n nor_o art_n can_v imitate_v as_o

great_a use_n to_o keep_v up_o a_o lively_a sense_n of_o such_o judgement_n upon_o our_o mind_n which_o become_v the_o subject_n of_o reason_n of_o cool_a thought_n and_o wise_a consideration_n when_o the_o terror_n and_o frightfulness_n of_o they_o be_v over_o judgement_n can_v never_o make_v a_o last_a reformation_n in_o the_o world_n be_v we_o concern_v to_o remember_v they_o no_o long_o than_o we_o feel_v their_o smart_n but_o they_o be_v intend_v both_o for_o punishment_n and_o instruction_n the_o punishment_n end_v with_o the_o smart_n and_o that_o put_v a_o end_n to_o all_o whine_a and_o tragical_a complaint_n but_o this_o alone_o be_v the_o discipline_n of_o fool_n or_o bruit_n the_o instruction_n be_v for_o man_n and_o this_o be_v to_o last_o as_o long_o as_o memory_n and_o thought_n and_o reason_n last_o what_o can_v the_o fire_n of_o london_n teach_v we_o thirty_o three_o year_n ago_o which_o it_o do_v not_o teach_v a_o wise_a man_n still_o and_o what_o thought_n and_o devout_a passion_n become_v we_o then_o which_o be_v not_o still_o on_o this_o day_n the_o proper_a exercise_n of_o our_o devotion_n when_o we_o see_v our_o church_n and_o house_n in_o flame_n when_o we_o see_v those_o furious_a torrent_n of_o fire_n roll_a down_o our_o street_n and_o despise_v all_o the_o opposition_n that_o human_a art_n or_o strength_n can_v make_v as_o if_o they_o have_v know_v by_o what_o a_o divine_a and_o irresistible_a commission_n they_o act_v there_o be_v few_o man_n to_o be_v find_v who_o do_v not_o express_v a_o great_a fear_n and_o reverence_n of_o the_o power_n and_o justice_n and_o terrible_a majesty_n of_o god_n who_o do_v not_o see_v and_o own_v the_o hand_n of_o god_n and_o the_o visible_a token_n of_o his_o displeasure_n and_o begin_v in_o good_a earnest_n to_o think_v of_o reform_v their_o life_n and_o make_v their_o peace_n with_o god_n who_o have_v now_o take_v the_o rod_n into_o his_o own_o hand_n when_o we_o see_v our_o riches_n make_v to_o themselves_o wing_n and_o fly_v away_o as_o a_o eagle_n towards_o heaven_n when_o we_o see_v all_o our_o pride_n and_o glory_n the_o toil_n and_o labour_n of_o our_o whole_a life_n the_o food_n and_o the_o instrument_n of_o our_o lust_n vanish_v into_o smoke_n and_o dust_n this_o effectual_o teach_v we_o the_o uncertainty_n of_o all_o present_a thing_n and_o make_v we_o serious_o consider_v what_o a_o ill_a state_n those_o be_v in_o who_o have_v nothing_o to_o trust_v to_o but_o such_o vanish_v treasure_n and_o how_o reasonable_a our_o saviour_n command_n be_v not_o to_o lay_v
