simple_a for_o so_o long_o as_o such_o deceiver_n be_v mark_v by_o the_o people_n for_o godly_a and_o precious_a man_n as_o to_o my_o knowledge_n the_o great_a rebel_n even_o ferguson_n himself_o have_v be_v cry_v up_o as_o the_o most_o powerful_a and_o soulsaving_a preacher_n among_o they_o it_o be_v impossible_a but_o that_o all_o manner_n of_o rebellious_a principle_n will_v be_v plant_v in_o their_o head_n but_o if_o our_o magistrate_n will_v mark_v such_o as_o make_v division_n among_o we_o contrary_a to_o the_o doctrine_n we_o have_v receive_v in_o our_o church_n so_o as_o to_o execute_v our_o law_n with_o all_o vigour_n against_o they_o and_o if_o all_o the_o people_n will_v so_o mark_v they_o as_o to_o avoid_v they_o it_o will_v be_v impossible_a for_o they_o to_o turn_v our_o faith_n into_o faction_n and_o our_o religion_n into_o rebellion_n and_o methinks_v they_o have_v show_v themselves_o such_o barefaced_a rebel_n to_o all_o our_o nation_n that_o he_o that_o can_v still_o have_v such_o a_o kindness_n for_o they_o as_o to_o continue_v still_o to_o follow_v they_o do_v clear_o demonstrate_v to_o the_o world_n that_o he_o have_v but_o very_o little_a loyalty_n to_o his_o king_n or_o religion_n to_o his_o god._n let_v i_o conclude_v all_o with_o this_o short_a prayer_n that_o god_n almighty_a will_v unite_v all_o our_o heart_n in_o the_o way_n of_o true_a religion_n towards_o he_o of_o temperance_n and_o sobriety_n towards_o ourselves_o of_o justice_n and_o charity_n towards_o all_o man_n and_o of_o duty_n and_o loyalty_n towards_o our_o sovereign_n and_o that_o as_o he_o have_v so_o signal_o overturned_a his_o enemy_n and_o give_v he_o the_o crown_n and_o diadem_n who_o right_a it_o be_v so_o he_o will_v please_v to_o establish_v the_o work_n that_o he_o have_v wrought_v among_o we_o upon_o the_o sure_a foundation_n of_o peace_n truth_n and_o righteousness_n and_o that_o to_o this_o end_n he_o will_v bless_v our_o king_n with_o length_n of_o day_n and_o all_o happiness_n in_o this_o life_n and_o final_o crown_v he_o with_o immortal_a glory_n to_o which_o prayer_n i_o be_o sure_a every_o true_a son_n of_o our_o loyal_a mother_n the_o church_n of_o england_n can_v but_o hearty_o say_v amen_o now_o to_o god_n the_o father_n god_n the_o son_n and_o god_n the_o holy_a ghost_n the_o great_a disposer_n of_o all_o thing_n
