they_o in_o the_o ground_n of_o divinity_n and_o principle_n of_o christian_a religion_n the_o seduction_n of_o many_o in_o this_o nation_n to_o popery_n have_v rise_v from_o hence_o their_o not_o be_v well_o season_v with_o the_o ground_n of_o true_a religion_n 4._o encourage_v learning_n what_o you_o can_v for_o popery_n be_v a_o kingdom_n of_o darkness_n and_o ignorance_n nothing_o ruin_v it_o like_o knowledge_n it_o first_o fall_v in_o this_o nation_n with_o the_o begin_n of_o good_a learning_n and_o the_o continuance_n and_o increase_n of_o this_o will_v keep_v it_o down_o and_o therefore_o among_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o contrivance_n of_o jericho_n bvilder_n this_o be_v one_o of_o the_o chief_a to_o poison_v our_o college_n to_o propagate_v popery_n in_o our_o most_o famous_a school_n of_o learning_n and_o by_o a_o malicious_a and_o illegal_a prosecution_n to_o have_v extinguish_v the_o bright_a luminary_n of_o the_o english_a church_n to_o the_o end_n that_o the_o benight_a people_n may_v the_o more_o easy_o have_v be_v mislead_v into_o the_o pitfall_n of_o superstition_n and_o slavery_n 5._o and_o because_o they_o love_v to_o fish_v in_o trouble_a water_n and_o gain_v ground_n by_o division_n therefore_o let_v we_o labour_n to_o promote_v peace_n and_o union_n among_o ourselves_o let_v we_o not_o differ_v and_o quarrel_v tear_n and_o devour_v one_o another_o for_o small_a matter_n but_o unite_v be_v of_o one_o heart_n of_o one_o mind_n and_o love_v one_o another_o lead_v holy_a and_o religious_a conversation_n as_o become_v our_o profession_n popery_n ever_o thrive_v best_a in_o a_o land_n of_o profaneness_n debauchery_n always_o do_v and_o always_o will_v help_v forward_a popery_n 6._o last_o one_o special_a mean_n to_o prevent_v the_o rise_n of_o jericho_n be_v that_o which_o this_o day_n occasion_n thankfulness_n to_o god_n for_o the_o downfall_n of_o it_o or_o a_o thankful_a remembrance_n of_o the_o great_a thing_n god_n have_v do_v for_o we_o when_o we_o call_v to_o mind_v their_o attempt_n against_o we_o and_o how_o god_n have_v cross_v and_o curse_a they_o it_o will_v make_v we_o love_v our_o own_o religion_n which_o god_n have_v witness_v by_o so_o many_o deliverance_n the_o better_a and_o to_o hate_v they_o the_o more_o therefore_o let_v our_o soul_n and_o all_o that_o be_v within_o we_o this_o day_n praise_v the_o 3._o psal_n 10._o 3._o lord_n for_o all_o his_o mercy_n of_o this_o kind_n vouchsafe_v to_o we_o and_o in_o a_o especial_a manner_n for_o the_o glorious_a deliverance_n we_o this_o day_n commemorate_v it_o be_v his_o do_n and_o it_o be_v marvellous_a in_o our_o eye_n not_o unto_o we_o therefore_o not_o unto_o we_o but_o to_o he_o be_v all_o the_o glory_n of_o it_o but_o if_o we_o shall_v be_v unthankful_a for_o this_o and_o the_o like_a gracious_a preservation_n if_o the_o wonder_n of_o god_n love_n do_v not_o melt_v our_o heart_n and_o work_v in_o they_o a_o sincere_a gratitude_n to_o god_n a_o hearty_a love_n to_o religion_n and_o a_o universal_a holiness_n in_o our_o conversation_n if_o all_o the_o favour_n of_o our_o god_n towards_o we_o do_v not_o win_v we_o to_o a_o most_o constant_a and_o cheerful_a obedience_n to_o his_o holy_a command_n it_o will_v be_v just_a with_o god_n that_o those_o adversary_n shall_v still_o prove_v goad_n in_o our_o side_n and_o thorn_n in_o our_o eye_n just_o with_o god_n to_o lay_v we_o open_v again_o to_o their_o enrage_a malice_n and_o hatred_n and_o when_o we_o stand_v in_o need_n of_o deliverance_n to_o say_v to_o we_o as_o he_o do_v to_o israel_n in_o distress_n i_o will_v deliver_v you_o no_o 13._o judg._n 10._o 13._o more_o stir_v up_o your_o soul_n therefore_o to_o thankfulness_n and_o testify_v your_o gratitude_n not_o only_o by_o word_n but_o deed_n not_o only_o by_o the_o fruit_n of_o holiness_n but_o also_o by_o work_n of_o charity_n and_o mercy_n your_o labour_n shall_v not_o be_v lose_v your_o cost_n not_o cast_v away_o for_o god_n will_v reward_v you_o thus_o honour_v he_o and_o he_o will_v honour_v you_o thus_o bless_v he_o and_o he_o will_v bless_v you_o give_v he_o his_o praise_n due_a on_o earth_n and_o he_o will_v give_v you_o immortal_a renown_n in_o heaven_n 3._o and_o in_o the_o last_o place_n to_o our_o praise_n for_o jericho_n fall_n let_v we_o add_v our_o prayer_n that_o it_o may_v rise_v no_o more_o in_o our_o day_n or_o in_o the_o day_n of_o our_o posterity_n in_o order_n to_o this_o let_v we_o pray_v 1._o that_o god_n will_v more_v and_o more_o discover_v and_o make_v know_v the_o abomination_n of_o romish_n jericho_n both_o in_o respect_n of_o their_o religion_n and_o practice_n that_o he_o will_v give_v all_o man_n among_o we_o a_o more_o clear_a understanding_n of_o the_o error_n of_o their_o religion_n of_o the_o falsity_n idolatry_n and_o superstition_n of_o it_o which_o consist_v of_o unwritten_a tradition_n diabolical_a revelation_n and_o illusion_n in_o fruitless_a penance_n and_o pilgrimage_n in_o antiscriptural_a merit_n pray_v to_o saint_n and_o worship_v of_o image_n in_o unlawful_a vow_n mass_n indulgence_n and_o dispensation_n that_o see_v the_o error_n of_o their_o religion_n we_o may_v abhor_v it_o and_o shun_v the_o society_n of_o those_o that_o profess_v it_o and_o seek_v the_o propagation_n of_o it_o 2._o pray_o that_o god_n will_v lay_v open_a to_o the_o view_n and_o observance_n of_o all_o man_n their_o ungodly_a practice_n their_o promote_a discord_n and_o division_n in_o all_o place_n and_o society_n their_o impose_v new_a article_n of_o faith_n as_o necessary_a to_o salvation_n their_o absolve_v some_o from_o lawful_a oath_n and_o vow_n and_o oblige_v other_o to_o themselves_o and_o their_o cause_n by_o vow_n and_o oath_n unlawful_a that_o the_o all-seeing_a eye_n which_o behold_v man_n in_o their_o most_o secret_a act_n will_v detect_v their_o barbarous_a homicide_n and_o private_a murder_n and_o hear_v the_o cry_n of_o that_o innocent_a blood_n which_o have_v be_v shed_v both_o former_o and_o late_o to_o enlarge_v the_o border_n of_o their_o jericho_n a_o discovery_n of_o which_o will_v do_v the_o cause_n of_o god_n this_o service_n to_o take_v off_o the_o heart_n of_o many_o from_o they_o and_o to_o lessen_v their_o strength_n and_o number_n among_o we_o and_o let_v we_o conclude_v our_o prayer_n as_o our_o church_n have_v teach_v we_o that_o god_n will_v scatter_v our_o enemy_n that_o delight_n in_o blood_n infatuate_a and_o defeat_v their_o counsel_n assuage_v their_o malice_n and_o confound_v their_o device_n and_o strengthen_v the_o hand_n of_o all_o that_o be_v in_o authority_n with_o judgement_n and_o justice_n to_o cut_v off_o all_o such_o worker_n of_o iniquity_n as_o
