one_o blow_v in_o the_o succeed_a reign_n be_v all_o memorable_a example_n of_o the_o popish_a cruelty_n but_o we_o need_v not_o look_v back_o into_o history_n to_o furnish_v we_o with_o instance_n

within_o itself_o but_o it_o will_v be_v able_a to_o give_v law_n to_o all_o its_o neighbour_n round_o about_o it_o and_o indeed_o not_o to_o flatter_v ourselves_o there_o be_v no_o kingdom_n i_o

a_o man_n to_o sum_v up_o all_o of_o who_o i_o will_v not_o be_v think_v to_o speak_v too_o great_a a_o thing_n if_o i_o say_v he_o be_v as_o brave_v a_o warrior_n as_o either_o alexander_n or_o

unite_v within_o ourselves_o we_o be_v able_a perhaps_o to_o grapple_v with_o the_o most_o potent_a kingdom_n near_o we_o we_o be_v a_o happy_a nation_n too_o in_o our_o situation_n when_o the_o

as_o some_o of_o our_o friend_n upon_o the_o continent_n be_v force_v to_o do_v because_o as_o the_o prophet_n nahum_n speak_v of_o the_o city_n of_o no_o we_o have_v the_o sea_n for_o a_o rampart_n

under_o his_o own_o vine_n and_o under_o his_o figtree_n and_o no_o man_n shall_v make_v he_o afraid_a and_o we_o be_v happy_a of_o all_o in_o our_o church_n a_o church_n which_o for_o purity_n of_o

without_o that_o all_o our_o skill_n in_o arm_n all_o our_o natural_a courage_n all_o our_o plenty_n and_o security_n our_o wholesome_a law_n and_o wise_a constitution_n will_v not_o be_v able_a to_o

with_o his_o grace_n in_o the_o attainment_n of_o these_o accomplishment_n and_o to_o his_o grace_n which_o he_o be_v never_o backward_o of_o afford_v we_o let_v we_o add_v out_o own_o endeavour_n let_v we_o show_v the_o good_a effect_n of_o these_o our_o day_n of_o humiliation_n in_o all_o the_o other_o day_n of_o our_o life_n what_o shall_v it_o profit_v we_o to_o depend_v upon_o our_o

be_v to_o forsake_v our_o sin_n and_o become_v better_o for_o the_o future_a without_o this_o all_o our_o fast_a will_n but_o fill_v we_o with_o wind_n all_o our_o tear_n will_v be_v but_o as_o

to_o amend_v for_o the_o future_a and_o shall_v prosecute_v those_o resolution_n in_o the_o series_n of_o our_o life_n we_o may_v then_o hope_v that_o god_n will_v incline_v his_o ear_n unto_o we_o

wise_a and_o stop_v the_o mouth_n of_o the_o foolish_a 2._o as_o the_o consideration_n of_o our_o own_o welfare_n and_o interest_n prompt_v we_o to_o wish_v ourselves_o all_o the_o good_a imaginable_a so_o let_v our_o compassion_n stir_v we_o up_o to_o pray_v for_o the_o relief_n of_o our_o distress_a brethren_n the_o protestant_n abroad_o may_v god_n in_o his_o due_a time_n as_o he_o once_o do_v the_o child_n of_o israel_n lead_v this_o his_o people_n through_o those_o red_a sea_n of_o blood_n through_o those_o wilderness_n of_o pain_n and_o trouble_n if_o not_o into_o some_o pleasant_a

last_o let_v we_o pray_v unto_o god_n that_o he_o will_v look_v down_o upon_o this_o sinful_a people_n of_o england_n and_o that_o he_o will_v avert_v those_o judgement_n which_o we_o must_v confess_v may_v be_v our_o due_a reward_n but_o instead_o of_o judgement_n god_n have_v heap_v mercy_n upon_o we_o of_o late_a he_o have_v first_o save_v we_o from_o the_o slavery_n of_o our_o conscience_n and_o indeed_o of_o our_o person_n next_o he_o have_v frequent_o deliver_v we_o from_o the_o device_n of_o wicked_a man_n who_o have_v use_v several_a way_n and_o mean_n to_o ruin_v we_o sometime_o

at_o last_o he_o have_v crown_v all_o his_o mercy_n to_o we_o in_o the_o blessing_n of_o a_o peace_n thou_o have_v make_v war_n to_o cease_v among_o we_o thou_o have_v break_v the_o bow_n and_o cut_v

this_o our_o peace_n prove_v firm_a and_o last_a and_o may_v we_o never_o again_o be_v embroil_v in_o war_n and_o blood_n however_o i_o hearty_o wish_v that_o the_o king_n may_v never_o want_v such_o
