in_o a_o equal_o miraculous_a course_n of_o providence_n by_o continue_v to_o we_o the_o mercy_n of_o this_o day_n but_o to_o what_o purpose_n think_v we_o be_v all_o this_o mercy_n with_o god_n for_o we_o only_o that_o it_o may_v be_v thus_o faint_o repeat_v and_o imperfect_o rejoice_v in_o once_o a_o year_n that_o can_v be_v sufficient_a the_o great_a and_o most_o durable_a end_n of_o this_o day_n mercy_n be_v undoubted_o the_o same_o that_o we_o find_v in_o my_o text_n to_o be_v the_o chief_a intention_n of_o all_o god_n mercy_n that_o therefore_o the_o divine_a majesty_n shall_v be_v the_o more_o fear_v indeed_o all_o god_n mercy_n do_v exact_a from_o we_o a_o suitable_a return_n of_o some_o kind_n of_o fear_n yet_o some_o more_o than_o other_o those_o his_o mercy_n that_o flow_v gentle_o down_o from_o heaven_n calm_o fall_v on_o all_o our_o head_n every_o day_n in_o bless_a influence_n relate_v to_o this_o life_n or_o the_o next_o but_o without_o any_o great_a noise_n or_o astonish_a circumstance_n they_o require_v all_o our_o love_n all_o our_o thanks_o and_o some_o fear_n too_o mingle_v with_o they_o a_o fear_n of_o vilify_a they_o by_o neglect_n or_o forfeit_v they_o by_o abuse_n but_o such_o mercy_n as_o these_o before_o we_o preservation_n of_o crown_v head_n and_o royal_a family_n devastation_n of_o kingdom_n prevent_v mighty_a nation_n free_v from_o slavery_n these_o come_v when_o they_o come_v upon_o we_o with_o a_o greaterforce_o and_o concussion_n of_o thought_n and_o though_o with_o a_o delightful_a yet_o give_v i_o leave_v to_o say_v it_o with_o a_o formidable_a train_n of_o terrible_a delight_n these_o mercy_n therefore_o as_o they_o expect_v from_o we_o our_o equal_a love_n of_o god_n so_o they_o may_v well_o demand_v our_o great_a fear_n of_o he_o more_o of_o our_o submission_n to_o his_o power_n and_o of_o our_o reliance_n on_o his_o will_n more_o of_o our_o adoration_n of_o his_o unsearchable_a counsel_n and_o of_o our_o humble_a thankfulness_n for_o his_o declare_a goodness_n thus_o most_o solemn_o do_v this_o mercy_n call_v for_o our_o fear_n of_o god_n according_a to_o all_o the_o interpretation_n of_o the_o word_n that_o we_o fear_v he_o so_o as_o to_o reverence_v he_o for_o all_o the_o secret_a degree_n of_o ripen_v this_o mercy_n forego_v this_o day_n that_o we_o fear_v he_o so_o as_o to_o bless_v he_o for_o all_o the_o ensue_a happy_a day_n we_o have_v ever_o since_o enjoy_v as_o a_o consequence_n of_o this_o that_o we_o fear_v he_o so_o as_o to_o stand_v in_o awe_n and_o so_o as_o to_o sin_v no_o more_o that_o with_o a_o careful_a diligence_n in_o our_o particular_a duty_n with_o a_o zealous_a fear_n of_o god_n with_o a_o unwearied_a vigilance_n over_o ourselves_o with_o a_o dutiful_a watchfulness_n for_o our_o king_n too_o in_o our_o several_a station_n we_o dread_v and_o revere_a god_n for_o this_o and_o all_o his_o other_o mercy_n lest_o we_o be_v force_v to_o do_v so_o for_o his_o judgement_n since_o the_o same_o god_n who_o have_v thus_o bestow_v on_o we_o the_o great_a of_o mercy_n be_v also_o able_a to_o inflict_v judgement_n as_o great_a that_o be_v evident_o one_o part_n of_o our_o duty_n rise_v from_o the_o contemplation_n of_o this_o day_n mercy_n for_o this_o undeniable_a reason_n we_o shall_v all_o be_v induce_v not_o to_o disobey_v or_o dishonour_n but_o to_o fear_v god_n there_o be_v still_o behind_o another_o very_a considerable_a part_n of_o it_o which_o respect_v god_n too_o though_o it_o seem_v more_o immediate_o to_o concern_v the_o king_n it_o be_v that_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n on_o this_o day_n the_o forgiveness_n which_o god_n put_v into_o the_o king_n heart_n to_o be_v willing_a into_o his_o hand_n to_o be_v able_a to_o dispense_v to_o all_o his_o subject_n this_o shall_v lead_v we_o all_o to_o fear_v that_o be_v in_o scripture_n language_n to_o honour_v the_o king_n but_o this_o doctrine_n which_o else_o where_o be_v the_o most_o proper_a subject_n of_o this_o day_n solemnity_n i_o thank_v god_n in_o this_o assembly_n i_o need_v not_o spend_v time_n to_o enforce_v be_v know_v and_o steady_a loyalty_n have_v save_v i_o that_o labour_n yet_o what_o it_o be_v superfluous_a to_o advise_v the_o king_n friend_n be_v god_n know_v but_o too_o seasonable_a to_o wish_v his_o enemy_n will_v do_v let_v it_o therefore_o be_v the_o fervent_a charitable_a prayer_n of_o we_o and_o of_o all_o loyal_a mind_n on_o this_o day_n and_o true_a loyalty_n be_v most_o general_o accompany_v with_o true_a charity_n that_o god_n at_o last_o will_v turn_v the_o king_n enemy_n heart_n and_o so_o they_o shall_v be_v turn_v from_o what_o less_o than_o god_n mercy_n can_v we_o expect_v so_o great_a a_o change_n since_o all_o the_o king_n mercy_n have_v not_o be_v able_a to_o effect_v it_o but_o o_o that_o now_o in_o this_o our_o day_n their_o day_n too_o once_o it_o be_v as_o proper_o as_o we_o and_o may_v be_v so_o again_o by_o their_o amendment_n o_o that_o now_o they_o will_v mind_v the_o thing_n that_o belong_v to_o all_o our_o peace_n o_o that_o now_o they_o will_v understand_v that_o the_o best_a and_o only_o lawful_a way_n to_o preserve_v the_o reform_a religion_n among_o we_o be_v to_o defend_v it_o only_o its_o own_o way_n and_o not_o by_o practise_v its_o very_a enemy_n principle_n o_o that_o now_o they_o will_v reflect_v with_o grief_n on_o all_o their_o fresh_a contrivance_n against_o his_o majesty_n crown_n and_o dignity_n and_o if_o for_o no_o other_o yet_o for_o this_o reason_n they_o will_v serious_o repent_v of_o they_o that_o the_o king_n be_v so_o ready_a to_o forgive_v all_o their_o old_a offence_n without_o so_o much_o as_o stay_v for_o their_o repentance_n o_o that_o now_o at_o length_n they_o will_v begin_v to_o fear_v the_o king_n for_o his_o mercy_n since_o amid_o all_o his_o power_n hitherto_o they_o have_v never_o have_v any_o other_o just_a cause_n imaginable_a to_o fear_v he_o o_o that_o henceforth_o they_o will_v forbear_v upon_o any_o more_o pretence_n of_o reform_v the_o church_n and_o state_n to_o violate_v that_o royal_a goodness_n which_o when_o all_o be_v do_v be_v

the_o day_n of_o our_o life_n that_o we_o may_v long_o enjoy_v the_o king_n mercy_n and_o they_o may_v have_v no_o more_o such_o need_n of_o his_o forgiveness_n amen_n finis_fw-la vers._n 1._o vers._n
