final_a drift_n of_o it_o which_o be_v to_o move_v the_o people_n to_o most_o earnest_a prayer_n that_o god_n will_v unite_v our_o king_n and_o his_o parliament_n contrary_a to_o the_o manifest_a endeavour_n of_o the_o papist_n for_o i_o always_o esteem_v it_o the_o most_o dangerous_a and_o chief_a part_n of_o the_o popish_a plot_n to_o disturb_v the_o close_a union_n and_o sweet_a agreement_n of_o the_o king_n and_o his_o parliament_n without_o which_o neither_o our_o church_n nor_o our_o state_n can_v flourish_n or_o prosper_n and_o without_o doubt_n this_o be_v one_o of_o his_o majesty_n great_a grief_n as_o his_o most_o gracious_a declaration_n do_v intimate_v that_o he_o be_v constrain_v to_o make_v so_o many_o dissolution_n and_o so_o short_a session_n as_o for_o the_o reason_n or_o political_a cause_n of_o these_o i_o always_o think_v they_o above_o the_o sphere_n of_o a_o private_a man._n but_o as_o our_o enemy_n rejoice_v in_o these_o thing_n i_o think_v we_o ought_v all_o to_o mourn_v and_o to_o beg_v of_o god_n with_o public_a and_o private_a prayer_n and_o most_o unanimous_a supplication_n that_o he_o will_v please_v in_o due_a season_n to_o unite_v and_o strengthen_v the_o state_n of_o the_o realm_n as_o to_o my_o other_o three_o sermon_n of_o mirmah_n maromah_n and_o maroum_n the_o matter_n of_o they_o be_v whole_o new_a though_o the_o assertion_n ancient_a and_o orthodox_n i_o judge_v it_o necessary_a to_o print_v they_o to_o prevent_v the_o strange_a account_n which_o many_o give_v of_o they_o the_o assertion_n be_v this_o that_o the_o popish_a principle_n and_o practice_n make_v witness_n of_o the_o late_a plot_n most_o credible_a that_o the_o evidence_n of_o thing_n have_v be_v so_o great_a that_o we_o ought_v to_o believe_v the_o matter_n of_o fact_n if_o not_o with_o a_o divine_a faith_n at_o least_o with_o all_o the_o assurance_n of_o a_o humane_a and_o moral_a faith_n that_o the_o pope_n be_v the_o antichrist_n that_o very_o apocalyptical_a beast_n the_o number_n of_o who_o name_n be_v 666._o that_o the_o next_o thing_n to_o be_v fulfil_v in_o the_o apocalyptical_a order_n of_o the_o seven_o vial_n be_v the_o fiery_a destruction_n of_o rome_n that_o the_o time_n be_v very_o near_o and_o in_o most_o probable_a account_n to_o be_v fulfil_v in_o this_o generation_n or_o century_n these_o thing_n as_o to_o the_o assertion_n be_v agreeable_a to_o all_o reform_a divine_n of_o note_n especial_o the_o ancient_a divine_n and_o bishop_n of_o england_n and_o of_o king_n james_n his_o time_n yet_o i_o wonder_v to_o hear_v some_o murmur_n as_o if_o now_o divine_n be_v better_o inform_v of_o the_o pope_n and_o can_v think_v he_o a_o beast_n or_o the_o antichrist_n if_o any_o divine_a be_v so_o persuade_v my_o sermon_n be_v the_o more_o necessary_a for_o his_o sake_n as_o for_o the_o matter_n in_o which_o i_o handle_v and_o prove_v these_o assertion_n which_o be_v the_o name_n of_o maroum_n and_o that_o singular_a prophecy_n of_o isaiah_n chap._n 24.21_o i_o think_v that_o matter_n be_v never_o touch_v before_o to_o the_o same_o purpose_n and_o i_o think_v the_o name_n of_o antichrist_n to_o which_o that_o number_n belong_v be_v never_o discover_v before_o though_o thousand_o of_o brain_n have_v be_v busy_a in_o search_n of_o it_o and_o i_o think_v the_o discovery_n i_o make_v be_v the_o divine_a truth_n and_o that_o wisdom_n of_o god_n which_o st._n john_n commend_v to_o every_o man_n that_o have_v understanding_n rev._n 13.18_o which_o ought_v not_o to_o be_v keep_v hide_v wherefore_o i_o again_o commend_v those_o discourse_n to_o the_o whole_a church_n of_o god_n as_o be_v of_o great_a consequence_n and_o of_o comfortable_a use_n especial_o in_o these_o time_n and_o i_o do_v this_o again_o with_o the_o more_o earnest_a heart_n because_o i_o have_v find_v of_o a_o truth_n that_o the_o discovery_n be_v sound_a and_o effectual_a and_o triumph_n over_o all_o contradiction_n and_o
