style_v themselves_o the_o royal_a party_n doubtless_o he_o want_v not_o some_o who_o like_o rehoboam_n young_a and_o heady_a councillor_n give_v he_o advice_n to_o take_v this_o course_n and_o it_o

and_o unsuccessfull_a by_o reason_n of_o the_o indiscretion_n of_o some_o and_o the_o treachery_n of_o other_o he_o have_v at_o last_o reject_v all_o counsel_n tend_v to_o force_n and_o violence_n and_o wise_o resolve_v upon_o a_o contrary_a course_n and_o this_o in_o a_o juncture_n of_o time_n when_o he_o have_v the_o great_a hope_n of_o assistance_n not_o only_o from_o ally_n and_o friend_n

necessary_a that_o without_o it_o a_o prince_n can_v manage_v the_o affair_n of_o his_o kingdom_n and_o in_o this_o princely_a virtue_n also_o he_o far_o outshine_v if_o not_o all_o yet_o the_o most_o

now_o his_o eminency_n in_o this_o princely_a virtue_n do_v evident_o appear_v 1._o in_o bear_v his_o great_a and_o extraordinary_a affliction_n and_o the_o persecution_n of_o his_o enemy_n and_o

rather_o gather_v strength_n and_o courage_n by_o be_v accustom_v to_o the_o bear_n of_o they_o 2._o this_o princely_a virtue_n appear_v eminent_o in_o he_o by_o his_o wait_v upon_o god_n in_o his_o great_a strait_n with_o hope_n and_o confidence_n of_o his_o goodness_n and_o mercy_n to_o bring_v about_o his_o restitution_n to_o rule_n and_o government_n in_o his_o own_o way_n and_o time_n in_o

virtue_n shine_v forth_o apparent_o in_o he_o by_o his_o decline_v the_o use_n of_o unlawful_a mean_n and_o by_o his_o resolution_n in_o a_o way_n of_o dependence_n upon_o god_n to_o persist_v in_o the_o use_n of_o all_o lawful_a mean_n to_o recover_v his_o right_n have_v he_o be_v impatient_a he_o will_v have_v cast_v off_o the_o use_n of_o all_o mean_n like_o that_o impious_a and_o impatient_a

earthly_a crown_n though_o by_o so_o do_v he_o have_v lose_v a_o eternal_a crown_n 4._o that_o he_o be_v a_o long_a suffer_a prince_n appear_v also_o 1._o in_o that_o he_o have_v not_o be_v provoke_v and_o move_v to_o act_n of_o revenge_n by_o all_o those_o wrong_n and_o injury_n that_o have_v be_v do_v he_o if_o report_n be_v true_a when_o some_o of_o those_o english_a soldier_n that_o be_v in_o

that_o 1._o in_o his_o passion_n 2._o in_o his_o affection_n the_o moderation_n of_o his_o passion_n appear_v by_o his_o endeavour_n to_o allay_v and_o

we_o may_v recover_v our_o honour_n again_o 6._o that_o we_o may_v now_o enjoy_v the_o liberty_n of_o our_o person_n we_o need_v not_o now_o to_o fear_v of_o be_v imprison_v for_o mere_a pretend_a

last_o which_o be_v more_o than_o all_o there_o be_v now_o hope_n that_o we_o may_v see_v a_o through_o reformation_n of_o thing_n amiss_o in_o our_o religion_n and_o from_o henceforth_o enjoy_v the_o

and_o church_n division_n and_o all_o this_o we_o may_v hope_v for_o upon_o the_o accession_n of_o the_o king_n majesty_n to_o actual_a rule_n and_o government_n if_o we_o consider_v 1._o the_o various_a &_o even_o miraculous_a providence_n of_o god_n towards_o he_o 2._o if_o we_o consider_v his_o majesty_n in_o respect_n of_o his_o personal_a qualification_n for_o rule_n and_o government_n i_o begin_v with_o the_o first_o 1._o the_o providence_n of_o god_n in_o afflict_v of_o he_o in_o suffer_v he_o to_o be_v exile_v out_o of_o his_o native_a country_n and_o dominion_n to_o be_v persecute_v and_o enforce_v to_o fly_v from_o one_o country_n to_o another_o by_o the_o tyranny_n of_o his_o enemy_n at_o home_n by_o the_o falsehood_n and_o treachery_n of_o pretend_a friend_n abroad_o the_o providence_n of_o god_n in_o this_o kind_n i_o know_v have_v be_v make_v use_n of_o as_o a_o argument_n that_o god_n have_v no_o delight_n or_o pleasure_n in_o he_o but_o brethren_n for_o my_o part_n i_o can_v but_o look_v upon_o it_o as_o a_o argument_n that_o god_n have_v design_v he_o to_o be_v a_o instrument_n of_o much_o good_a to_o we_o and_o i_o can_v but_o think_v that_o god_n design_n in_o afflict_v of_o he_o be_v to_o humble_a and_o to_o fit_v he_o for_o rule_n and_o government_n and_o indeed_o god_n usual_o take_v this_o course_n with_o such_o as_o he_o have_v design_v to_o be_v instrument_n of_o much_o good_a to_o his_o church_n and_o people_n this_o very_a course_n he_o take_v with_o joseph_n gen._n 37.27_o etc._n etc._n with_o moses_n exod._n 2.15_o with_o david_n he_o suffer_v he_o by_o the_o tyranny_n of_o saul_n to_o be_v drive_v out_o from_o the_o inheritance_n of_o the_o lord_n 1_o sam._n 26.19_o thus_o god_n deal_v with_o they_o to_o fit_v they_o for_o rule_n and_o government_n and_o we_o have_v reason_n to_o think_v that_o god_n take_v this_o course_n with_o his_o majesty_n to_o the_o same_o end_n and_o no_o doubt_n he_o be_v the_o better_o fit_v for_o rule_n and_o government_n by_o his_o suffering_n it_o be_v not_o imaginable_a that_o one_o who_o have_v so_o long_o groan_v under_o tyranny_n shall_v become_v a_o tyrant_n that_o one_o who_o have_v so_o long_o feel_v the_o smart_n of_o injustice_n shall_v be_v unjust_a to_o other_o 2._o again_o there_o be_v hope_n of_o all_o this_o good_a by_o his_o accession_n to_o rule_n and_o government_n if_o you_o consider_v the_o wonderful_a providence_n of_o god_n over_o he_o in_o the_o preservation_n of_o his_o person_n and_o in_o deliver_v he_o out_o of_o the_o hand_n of_o all_o his_o enemy_n his_o danger_n have_v be_v great_a and_o his_o deliverance_n have_v be_v eminent_a both_o at_o worcester_n and_o elsewhere_o in_o this_o respect_n god_n have_v wrought_v well-nigh_o as_o wonderful_o for_o he_o as_o he_o do_v for_o moses_n joseph_n or_o david_n and_o this_o to_o i_o be_v another_o argument_n that_o god_n have_v design_v he_o to_o be_v a_o instrument_n of_o much_o good_a to_o these_o nation_n and_o to_o his_o church_n and_o people_n in_o they_o and_o that_o there_o be_v hope_n will_v further_o appear_v if_o you_o consider_v 3._o the_o wonderful_a providence_n of_o god_n in_o make_v way_n for_o his_o restitution_n to_o rule_n and_o government_n and_o in_o this_o respect_n the_o providence_n of_o god_n have_v be_v wonderful_a even_o to_o astonishment_n 1._o in_o pluck_v down_o richard_n by_o his_o near_a relation_n and_o the_o same_o hand_n that_o set_v he_o up_o by_o which_o mean_n they_o open_v a_o effeectual_a door_n for_o their_o own_o ruin_n and_o for_o his_o majesty_n peaceable_a restitution_n 2._o in_o blast_v and_o infatuate_n the_o counsel_n of_o his_o implacable_a enemy_n of_o every_o kind_n so_o as_o to_o cause_v they_o to_o dash_v one_o against_o another_o and_o to_o throw_v themselves_o down_o by_o their_o own_o hand_n 3._o in_o stir_v up_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o deserve_o renown_v general_n monck_n with_o his_o

of_o courage_n in_o the_o generality_n of_o the_o people_n throughout_o this_o nation_n to_o declare_v for_o the_o admission_n of_o the_o seclude_v member_n and_o the_o call_n of_o a_o free_a

of_o this_o present_a parliament_n according_a to_o their_o duty_n and_o allegiance_n to_o restore_v his_o sacred_a majesty_n &_o in_o turn_v about_o the_o heart_n of_o all_o the_o commander_n both_o by_o sea_n and_o land_n to_o receive_v his_o most_o royal_a majesty_n again_o into_o his_o dominion_n in_o all_o which_o the_o wonderful_a power_n and_o providence_n of_o god_n have_v signal_o

be_v become_v the_o head_n stone_n of_o the_o corner_n this_o be_v the_o lord_n be_v do_v and_o it_o be_v marvellous_a in_o our_o eye_n and_o upon_o this_o ground_n we_o have_v reason_n to_o hope_v for_o much_o approach_a good_a to_o these_o nation_n by_o the_o accession_n of_o his_o most_o excellent_a majesty_n to_o the_o exercise_n of_o rule_n and_o government_n 2._o if_o you_o consider_v he_o

this_o you_o shall_v find_v evident_o to_o appear_v if_o you_o please_v to_o lay_v aside_o all_o prejudice_n and_o look_v upon_o he_o with_o a_o judicious_a and_o impartial_a eye_n indeed_o if_o you_o
