of_o the_o people_n which_o be_v the_o greatness_n and_o strength_n of_o the_o nation_n in_o who_o lie_v the_o great_a and_o the_o most_o common_a interest_n of_o the_o whole_a with_o all_o its_o

more_o able_a to_o do_v justice_n and_o to_o give_v protection_n than_o any_o civil_a sword_n or_o institute_v power_n can_v the_o parliament_n have_v the_o form_n but_o the_o army_n have_v the_o

for_o this_o be_v that_o the_o army_n be_v the_o people_n in_o a_o active_a body_n not_o in_o a_o bulky_a heavy_a sluggish_a heap_n but_o the_o people_n gather_v up_o into_o heart_n and_o union_n

the_o good_a of_o the_o nation_n in_o their_o aim_n and_o eye_n to_o this_o may_v be_v add_v the_o concurrence_n of_o the_o heart_n and_o affection_n prayer_n and_o good_a desire_n of_o the_o honest_a party_n of_o the_o nation_n go_v along_o with_o they_o these_o have_v contribute_v their_o best_a assistance_n to_o help_v they_o in_o their_o progress_n although_o of_o late_a many_o partly_o

the_o lord_n shall_v blow_v away_o these_o mist_n and_o lead_v forth_o the_o army_n in_o the_o way_n of_o righteousness_n he_o will_v lead_v his_o people_n back_o to_o their_o former_a hearty_a concurrence_n of_o their_o affection_n to_o and_o their_o prayer_n for_o they_o as_o be_v such_o in_o who_o the_o lord_n have_v treasure_v up_o their_o great_a interest_n with_o their_o life_n and_o

undoubted_a right_o that_o can_v be_v imaginable_a vi_o i_o shall_v add_v one_o thing_n more_o and_o that_o be_v the_o designation_n of_o providence_n which_o first_o bring_v forth_o the_o honest_a people_n of_o this_o nation_n into_o a_o military_a body_n and_o that_o distinct_a from_o the_o civil_a power_n and_o these_o accompany_v with_o many_o signal_n deliverance_n victory_n and_o success_n the_o produce_v and_o issue_v whereof_o do_v entitle_v the_o army_n and_o honest_a people_n to_o the_o most_o unquestionable_a right_n of_o power_n &_o government_n in_o these_o nation_n i_o will_v not_o by_o all_o this_o draw_v man_n to_o adore_v a_o army_n or_o arm_n of_o flesh_n but_o the_o lord_n in_o the_o midst_n of_o his_o people_n whether_o in_o the_o army_n or_o without_o all_o the_o
