Religion and Men of approved moderation to heal the Sores of our Church and to cure those many Distempers of Irreligion which the several Factions and Heats of the late Enthusiastical Times have so notoriously fomented and bred amongst us In short according to Isaiah's Prophecy 49.23 We have now thanks be to God for them and God long preserve them to us a King and Queen that are truly and literally a nursing Father and a nursing Mother to the Church and People of England In a word two Princes of our own Choice and according to our own hearts desire And therefore if the greatest Temporal Blessing which the Infinite Benefactor can bestow on a Nation be a sufficient Reason for our present Joy and Thansgiving 't will then be our indispensable Duty to be heartily and sincerely thankful Which brings me to speak of the Duty of this Day 's Thanksgiving But having exercised your Patience too much already I shall therefore add a very few words on this Head First Ye are to consider That as it is not the Design of our Present Government in continuing the observation of this Day to try the Strength and Zeal of a Party as perhaps was the usual Practise and Abuse of it in the late times so ye are to conclude that the Business or Duty of this Day 's Thanksgiving does not consist in loud Acclamations of Joy and a vain Repetition of Huzzah's nor in Sumptuous Fireworks and Ringing of Bells or other such like popular entertainments which generally speaking do end in nothing that is good but are such expressions of Joy as serve only to promote Tumults and Disorders Drunkenness and Licentiousness amongst us and are therefore upon that account a very improper and unsuitable return to the Supream Governor and Great Benefactor of Mankind for the Blessed Revolutions which he has been the Principal Author and Contriver of in these Nations in order to our Peace and Happiness But Secondly to conclude all ye are rather to look up unto God only as the Fountain and Foundation of all these Blessings Ye are to address your Thanks to the Divine Majesty with the humblest sense imaginable of your unworthiness of these his manifold Benefits and having made your suitable acknowledgments and returns of Praise and Thanksgiving to the Great and Merciful God in the most Devout and Seraphick Strain that ye are able to reach to ye should still continue to admire his Goodness to adore his Wisdom and dread his Power In short for these good things which God hath blessed us with we ought to repay him with a Good and Religious Life and to walk before him in Holiness and Righteousness all our days Which that we may all do God of his Infinite Mercy grant us Grace Now to God the Father God the Son God the Holy Ghost be ascribed as is most due all Honour Praise Might Majesty Glory and Dominion both now and evermore Amen FINIS Books Sold by Richard Baldwin THE Bounds set to France by the Pyrenean Treaty and the Interest the Confederates not to accept of the Offers of Peace made at 〈◊〉 Time by the French King To which are added some short Reflection showing How far England is concern'd in the Restitution of that Tr●●●● Together with a List of the Towns and Countries that the French 〈◊〉 taken since that time A Dissuasive from Murmuring being a Sermon on 1 Cor. 10.10 Preac●●● by Sam.
