quiet_a at_o home_n the_o tradesman_n may_v safe_o mind_v his_o shop_n and_o the_o husbandman_n his_o blow_n in_o time_n of_o peace_n our_o flock_n and_o herd_n be_v wont_n to_o multiply_v our_o corn_n come_v safe_a into_o the_o barn_n our_o market_n be_v full_a our_o court_n be_v open_a our_o law_n retain_v their_o force_n and_o justice_n betwixt_o man_n and_o man_n may_v free_o be_v administer_v in_o time_n of_o peace_n every_o man_n may_v sit_v under_o his_o own_o figtree_n under_o his_o own_o vine_n and_o quiet_o eat_v the_o fruit_n of_o his_o own_o labour_n and_o when_o we_o be_v at_o peace_n abroad_o with_o other_o nation_n how_o cheerful_o may_v our_o merchant_n transport_v their_o good_n beyond_o the_o sea_n and_o bring_v back_o their_o ship_n rich_o lade_v with_o silk_n silver_n gold_n and_o diamond_n in_o short_a when_o we_o have_v peace_n both_o at_o home_o and_o abroad_o we_o of_o this_o nation_n can_v want_v for_o nothing_o that_o tend_v to_o make_v a_o kingdom_n happy_a but_o the_o best_a way_n to_o understand_v and_o value_v the_o benefit_n of_o peace_n be_v to_o consider_v the_o calamity_n of_o war_n methinks_v drum_n and_o trumpet_n carbine_n and_o pistol_n musket_n and_o canon_n be_v name_n which_o sound_v like_a to_o dreadful_a clap_n of_o thunder_n and_o ten_o thousand_o glitter_a sword_n seem_v as_o terrible_a as_o so_o many_o flash_n of_o lightning_n for_o where_o war_n be_v raise_v trade_n decay_v merchant_n break_v tax_n grow_v high_a money_n grow_v scarce_o treasure_n be_v exhaust_v law_n be_v interrupt_v house_n be_v plunder_v town_n and_o city_n be_v burn_v to_o ash_n cornfield_n be_v devour_v abundance_n of_o blood_n be_v shed_v and_o whole_a country_n be_v often_o lay_v waste_v and_o desolate_a now_o then_o if_o the_o benefit_n of_o peace_n and_o the_o misery_n of_o war_n be_v indeed_o so_o exceed_v great_a we_o may_v well_o conclude_v that_o peace_n be_v a_o blessing_n very_o desirable_a by_o all_o mankind_n unless_o perhaps_o it_o be_v by_o some_o proud_a tyrannical_a and_o ambitious_a prince_n or_o such_o soldier_n of_o fortune_n as_o know_v not_o how_o to_o live_v without_o rapine_n plunder_n and_o wage_n to_o destroy_v the_o life_n and_o fortune_n of_o other_o men._n now_o to_o apply_v this_o 1._o consider_v we_o the_o great_a reason_n we_o have_v to_o keep_v a_o solemn_a day_n of_o thanksgiving_n with_o all_o expression_n of_o gratitude_n for_o that_o welcome_a peace_n which_o after_o a_o tedious_a war_n be_v now_o settle_a betwixt_o we_o and_o our_o neighbour_n nation_n for_o by_o this_o happy_a peace_n we_o be_v for_o time_n to_o come_v secure_v from_o those_o calamity_n which_o we_o have_v suffer_v by_o the_o late_a war_n for_o so_o many_o year_n together_o i_o need_v not_o here_o again_o enumerate_v the_o misery_n of_o war_n nor_o mind_n you_o that_o it_o have_v drain_v our_o purse_n that_o it_o have_v cost_v a_o world_n of_o treasure_n and_o which_o be_v a_o great_a deal_n worse_o that_o the_o sword_n have_v drink_v whole_a barrel_n of_o english_a blood_n and_o if_o the_o misery_n of_o war_n be_v so_o exceed_v dreadful_a our_o deliverance_n from_o they_o must_v needs_o deserve_v our_o thanks_o and_o those_o thanks_o be_v due_a both_o to_o our_o god_n and_o to_o our_o king_n first_o our_o thanks_o for_o peace_n be_v due_a to_o our_o god_n for_o he_o who_o be_v our_o god_n be_v the_o god_n of_o peace_n the_o great_a author_n of_o it_o so_o do_v the_o psalmist_n tell_v we_o 46.9_o he_o make_v war_n to_o cease_v to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o earth_n he_o break_v the_o bow_n and_o cut_v the_o spear_n in_o sunder_o he_o burn_v the_o chariot_n in_o the_o fire_n when_o it_o be_v his_o good_a pleasure_n so_o to_o do_v he_o can_v and_o do_v incline_v the_o heart_n of_o man_n to_o peace_n and_o in_o order_n to_o that_o they_o shall_v lay_v aside_o the_o usual_a engine_n of_o war_n so_o the_o prophet_n tell_v we_o they_o shall_v beat_v their_o sword_n into_o plowshare_n 2.4_o and_o their_o spear_n into_o prune_a hook_n nation_n shall_v not_o lift_v up_o sword_n against_o nation_n neither_o shall_v they_o learn_v war_n any_o more_o the_o do_v of_o this_o be_v a_o peculiar_a prerogative_n which_o the_o glorious_a majesty_n of_o heaven_n do_v most_o just_o claim_v to_o himself_o 45.7_o i_o make_v peace_n and_o create_v evil_a i_o the_o lord_n do_v all_o these_o thing_n it_o be_v he_o that_o raise_v war_n in_o his_o wrath_n and_o it_o be_v he_o who_o put_v a_o end_n to_o war_n and_o create_v peace_n in_o his_o mercy_n and_o if_o so_o since_o by_o he_o we_o now_o enjoy_v the_o blessing_n of_o peace_n can_v we_o do_v less_o than_o bless_v he_o for_o it_o second_o our_o thanks_o for_o peace_n be_v also_o due_a to_o our_o king_n as_o be_v the_o great_a instrument_n in_o god_n hand_n to_o procure_v it_o for_o we_o we_o have_v now_o a_o king_n well_o qualify_v with_o prudence_n and_o policy_n to_o manage_v our_o civil_a affair_n in_o time_n of_o peace_n and_o we_o have_v a_o prince_n of_o wise_a conduct_n and_o most_o excellent_a courage_n to_o lead_v our_o army_n in_o a_o time_n of_o war_n a_o king_n who_o for_o his_o conduct_n and_o courage_n do_v deserve_v a_o great_a renown_n than_o hannibal_n scipio_n julius_n cesar_n alexander_n the_o great_a or_o any_o other_o general_n mention_v in_o the_o greek_a and_o roman_a story_n to_o this_o king_n of_o we_o not_o only_a england_n scotland_n and_o ireland_n but_o the_o state_n of_o holland_n the_o king_n of_o spain_n the_o prince_n of_o germany_n and_o the_o emperor_n himself_o do_v under_o god_n owe_v their_o preservation_n for_o have_v not_o our_o king_n interpose_v the_o french_a king_n who_o be_v so_o ambitious_a and_o so_o strong_a easy_o might_n and_o certain_o will_v have_v overcome_v they_o all_o and_o in_o that_o case_n the_o only_a favour_n which_o england_n can_v have_v expect_v will_v have_v be_v this_o namely_o to_o have_v be_v devour_v last_o but_o thanks_o be_v to_o god_n and_o to_o our_o king_n that_o danger_n be_v now_o quite_o over_o for_o the_o french_a king_n find_v his_o kingdom_n reduce_v to_o such_o extremity_n that_o he_o be_v force_v to_o desire_v a_o cessation_n of_o arm_n but_o that_o be_v deny_v he_o he_o see_v himself_o constrain_v to_o conclude_v a_o peace_n that_o peace_n which_o no_o man_n can_v have_v hope_v for_o have_v not_o our_o king_n disable_v france_n to_o continue_v the_o war._n and_o what_o return_v shall_v we_o make_v to_o our_o king_n for_o this_o let_v our_o heart_n be_v with_o he_o and_o our_o prayer_n for_o he_o and_o if_o any_o just_a occasion_n shall_v once_o more_o so_o require_v let_v he_o have_v our_o hand_n and_o our_o purse_n too_o second_o since_o we_o have_v now_o a_o settle_a peace_n betwixt_o we_o and_o other_o nation_n beyond_o the_o sea_n let_v we_o endeavour_v to_o restore_v and_o settle_v a_o last_a peace_n among_o ourselves_o here_o at_o home_o i_o do_v not_o mean_v civil_a peace_n only_o but_o a_o peace_n ecclesiastical_a and_o sacred_a it_o be_v say_v of_o the_o primitive_a christian_n 4.32_o the_o multitude_n of_o they_o that_o believe_v be_v all_o of_o one_o heart_n and_o one_o soul_n it_o be_v say_v again_o 46._o all_o that_o believe_v be_v together_o and_o continue_v daily_o with_o one_o accord_n in_o the_o temple_n be_v it_o thus_o in_o england_n we_o may_v hope_v to_o see_v golden_a day_n yet_o once_o again_o but_o alas_o as_o it_o be_v say_v of_o old_a for_o the_o division_n of_o reuben_n there_o be_v great_a thought_n of_o heart_n 5.15_o so_o may_v i_o now_o just_o say_v for_o the_o division_n of_o england_n there_o be_v sad_a thought_n of_o heart_n fear_n and_o jealousy_n lest_o whilst_o we_o contend_v about_o the_o circumstance_n of_o our_o religion_n we_o lose_v it_o be_v very_a substance_n but_o will_v our_o dissenter_n act_v like_o man_n and_o hearken_v to_o right_a reason_n will_v they_o act_v like_o christian_n and_o lay_v aside_o all_o prejudice_n consult_v their_o bibles_n and_o make_v that_o their_o rule_n i_o be_o well_o satisfy_v that_o they_o can_v find_v no_o just_a ground_n to_o withdraw_v themselves_o from_o the_o church_n of_o england_n that_o church_n in_o who_o way_n of_o divine_a worship_n there_o be_v nothing_o prescribe_v nothing_o practise_v but_o what_o the_o scripture_n do_v either_o command_n or_o at_o least_o allow_v the_o substantial_a part_n of_o god_n worship_n be_v all_o command_v by_o himself_o but_o it_o be_v necessary_a circumstance_n be_v not_o so_o the_o minister_n who_o be_v to_o read_v preach_v and_o administer_v the_o sacrament_n must_v wear_v some_o garment_n or_o other_o but_o whether_o it_o shall_v be_v of_o linen_n or_o woollen_a
