Pleasure O therefore great is the Deliverance beyond the Comprehensions of our Understandings And praised be the Lord who hath not given us over for a prey unto their Teeth for our Soul is escaped as a Bird out of the Snare of the Fowler the Snare is broken and we are delivered For which may all that are or would have been sensible of the Black Device if it had taken its Dismal Effect Bless and Exalt God's holy Name May all the good People of this Nation Obey their Sovereign Lord the KING's Commands in such manner as may be acceptable to God And as His Majesty doth so may they acknowledge the singular Mercy and Goodness of God See His Majesty's Most Gracious Speech to Both Houses of Parliament Feb. 24. 1695. May all His Subjects Piously and Joyfully keep this Day and ponder the Occasion of it in their Hearts with a Perpetual Thanksgiving to the utmost extent of their Lives for so great a Salvation May it make such deep and lasting Impressions in their Souls Yea let them tell it to their Childrens Children that the Generations to come may Bless God for it And may no Rank or Quality Sex Order or Degree think themselves exempted from their Duty on this Day which the KING with the Advice of his Nobles hath thought fit to apply to so Solemn and Sacred a Use But praise the Lord ye House of our Israel praise the Lord ye House of Aaron praise the Lord ye House of Levi ye Clergy of this Land Ye that fear the Lord praise the Lord and confess he is Gracious and his Mercy endureth for ever Kings of the Earth and all People Princes and all Judges of the World Young Men and Maidens Old Men and Children praise the Name of the Lord for his Name only is Excellent and his Praise above Heaven and Earth He shall exalt the Horn of his People all his Saints shall praise him And now pray we unto God to open Mens Eyes that they may see and know those things that belong unto their Peace that they may not be Credulous of Dreams and Fancies nor give heed unto Fables As if that Monarch who has Troubled Christendom a long time has Cruelly Persecuted and Tormented Protestants and has laid waste Defenced Cities into Ruinous heaps as if he would shew all Clemency and Kindness to us as if he would make every one Happy and Great with large Donatives of Riches and Honour Fields and Vineyards and all the Delights of the Sons of Men which to think is very incongruous to Reason and dissonant to the Sentiments of common Prudence unless he and all his Admirers and Favourites loved the People of this Nation better than they do and except we would abandon our Religion which may we never so much as think of doing nor fear his Menaces or any high and lofty Looks But keep we stedfast to our God and our Faith to our Duty and Allegiance unto our Sovereign Lord the KING's Majesty to our Laws our Liberties and our Country and to one another in Love and Unity And may god shower down His Blessings upon us and make His great Salvation for which we now offer unto Him the Sacrifice of Thanksgiving a Pledge of more His abundant Favours to His Anointed and His Subjects And let us always therefore have somewhat of a Divine and Holy Song or Eulogy in our Mouths Plenteously may we be furnished in the Song of Moses and the Children of Israel of Deborah and Barak and in that great Magazine of Praises and Benedictions the Book of Psalms together with many other places of the Sacred Canon of Scripture Let us often think of God's Mercies to us and make Melody in our Hearts unto Him with such Excellent and Proper Lessons as may be taken out of those Breathings of the Holy Ghost Let Lute and Harp awake and let us awake right early with the high Praises of God in our Mouth Let this be the Badge of our Honour and Gratitude Praise ye the Lord. Let us bind it as Signs upon our Hands and Frontlets between our Eyes together with the Te Deum the Benedictus the Magnificat and like Joyous and Devout Trophies of God's Salvation Evermore with the Choir of Saints and Angels above Chanting forth the Trishagion Holy Holy Holy Lord God of Sabaoth Heaven and Earth are full of the Majesty of thy Glory Glory be to thee O Lord Most High Finally As we praise God this Day for His Admired Mercy so let us Beg His Continuance of it to us and pray heartily that the now ensuing Campaign may be Victorious both against F●ance and the Ottoman Empire and that an Honourable and Lasting Peace to England and Her Allies and Friends may succeed thereupon and that God will be pleased to Bless with Length of Days and Riches and Honour in His Throne here and to Crown afterwards with a far more exceeding and Eternal Weight of Glory in the highest Heavens His Anointed Servant our Dread Sovereign Lord and Lawful and Rightful KING WILLIAM Amen FINIS
