how_o little_a soever_o many_o may_v either_o apprehend_v or_o value_v the_o blessing_n of_o a_o legal_a government_n temper_v between_o the_o extreme_n of_o lawless_a tyranny_n on_o the_o one_o

that_o be_v much_o the_o happy_a of_o any_o now_o in_o the_o world_n and_o be_v so_o particular_o fit_v for_o we_o that_o nothing_o else_o can_v make_v we_o either_o safe_a or_o happy_a but_o all_o the_o blessing_n of_o that_o time_n do_v not_o terminate_v in_o that_o day_n or_o in_o the_o restoration_n of_o the_o royal_a family_n at_o that_o time_n what_o be_v do_v then_o make_v way_n to_o what_o we_o enjoy_v at_o present_a without_o that_o we_o can_v not_o have_v expect_v the_o happiness_n we_o do_v now_o live_v under_o and_o look_v for_o i_o will_v not_o reflect_v on_o the_o gloom_n that_o have_v come_v between_o the_o unhappy_a thing_n which_o have_v come_v since_o but_o whatever_o we_o have_v be_v or_o whatever_o we_o be_v like_a to_o have_v be_v we_o do_v now_o see_v a_o better_a prospect_n not_o only_o the_o crown_n flourish_v at_o home_n but_o the_o law_n and_o liberty_n of_o the_o people_n happy_o revive_v not_o only_o our_o religion_n secure_v and_o our_o church_n

that_o now_o england_n be_v not_o only_o recover_v the_o interest_n and_o share_n that_o natural_o belong_v to_o she_o but_o be_v at_o present_a the_o great_a instrument_n of_o give_v all_o europe_n a_o happy_a escape_n from_o a_o vast_a danger_n that_o have_v threaten_v it_o all_o over_o in_o this_o audience_n i_o shall_v not_o enlarge_v further_o on_o this_o subject_a i_o need_v say_v the_o

near_o all_o that_o a_o nation_n can_v wish_v for_o to_o make_v it_o both_o great_a and_o happy_a prosperous_a and_o safe_a but_o as_o we_o have_v thus_o let_v our_o thought_n run_v out_o upon_o the_o wonderful_a work_n that_o god_n on_o this_o day_n do_v for_o we_o so_o we_o ought_v not_o to_o forget_v the_o judgement_n of_o his_o mouth_n his_o law_n and_o his_o gospel_n that_o be_v the_o much_o great_a of_o all_o his_o blessing_n that_o render_v all_o other_o thing_n to_o be_v blessing_n indeed_o to_o we_o they_o be_v chief_o intend_v to_o secure_v this_o to_o we_o and_o to_o engage_v we_o to_o improve_v it_o to_o the_o best_a purpose_n for_o as_o the_o psalm_n end_v all_o god_n mercy_n to_o the_o jewish_a nation_n be_v give_v they_o on_o this_o design_n that_o they_o may_v observe_v
