it_o be_v undoubted_o one_o main_a instance_n of_o god_n special_a favour_n and_o goodness_n to_o a_o nation_n and_o such_o as_o ought_v to_o be_v a_o stand_a motive_n of_o their_o repentance_n nay_o

of_o god_n great_a displeasure_n and_o anger_n to_o a_o people_n for_o such_o as_o these_o and_o such_o have_v these_o nation_n feel_v be_v indeed_o very_o heavy_a and_o deplorable_a judgement_n and_o

discourse_n because_o i_o take_v it_o to_o be_v the_o most_o useful_a and_o edify_a enquiry_n of_o the_o two_o in_o these_o sceptical_a and_o atheistical_a time_n wherein_o we_o now_o live_v which_o indeed_o be_v time_n so_o desperate_o wicked_a as_o to_o require_v new_a proof_n and_o establishment_n from_o we_o for_o the_o more_o effectual_a maintain_n and_o assert_v the_o very_a fundamental_o of_o our_o religion_n it_o be_v a_o age_n this_o which_o have_v impudence_n and_o profaneness_n enough_o in_o store_n to_o explode_v and_o ridicule_n upon_o all_o occasion_n the_o true_a and_o orthodox_n notion_n of_o a_o superintend_a providence_n as_o if_o the_o god_n that_o make_v the_o world_n have_v nothing_o at_o all_o to_o do_v in_o the_o appointment_n and_o administration_n of_o the_o great_a affair_n in_o it_o or_o as_o if_o he_o who_o create_v man_n at_o first_o be_v no_o way_n concern_v either_o to_o govern_v we_o by_o his_o own_o eternal_a decree_n of_o providence_n or_o to_o see_v we_o govern_v by_o fit_a and_o proper_a substitute_n of_o his_o own_o designation_n but_o i_o be_o apt_a to_o think_v that_o the_o succession_n of_o such_o mercy_n as_o have_v befall_v these_o kingdom_n especial_o the_o happy_a circumstance_n of_o our_o present_a establishment_n be_v so_o many_o stand_n and_o convince_a evidence_n of_o such_o a_o providence_n which_o i_o have_v be_v so_o long_o a_o contend_v for_o to_o conclude_v therefore_o with_o the_o reasonableness_n of_o our_o present_a joy_n and_o the_o duty_n of_o this_o day_n be_v thanksgiving_n in_o as_o few_o word_n as_o i_o can_v convenient_o use_v on_o this_o grand_a occasion_n give_v i_o leave_v to_o observe_v that_o though_o god_n mercy_n to_o these_o kingdom_n have_v happen_v to_o be_v liable_a to_o several_a abuse_n as_o all_o blessing_n be_v when_o bestow_v on_o any_o person_n or_o person_n who_o afterward_o prove_v ungrateful_a and_o though_o they_o have_v be_v pervert_v perhaps_o to_o many_o evil_a and_o pernicious_a purpose_n viz._n to_o the_o apparent_a hazard_n of_o this_o state_n and_o kingdom_n and_o to_o the_o notorious_a scandal_n of_o our_o church_n and_o religion_n yet_o this_o ought_v not_o in_o reason_n to_o abate_v the_o first_o obligation_n of_o our_o gratitude_n nor_o in_o the_o least_o measure_n to_o impair_v that_o natural_a notion_n or_o grateful_a sense_n of_o god_n goodness_n which_o all_o mankind_n either_o actual_o have_v or_o aught_o to_o have_v for_o signal_n benefaction_n and_o providential_a deliverance_n nor_o will_v i_o be_v understand_v to_o contend_v altogether_o for_o particular_a day_n and_o periodical_a return_n for_o person_n and_o name_n or_o for_o mere_a form_n nor_o for_o the_o sake_n of_o any_o politic_a and_o state-compliance_n only_o but_o rather_o for_o a_o constant_a and_o religious_a sense_n of_o our_o thankfulness_n to_o god_n upon_o the_o account_n of_o his_o public_a benefit_n and_o national_a mercy_n as_o likewise_o for_o a_o substantial_a and_o devout_a expression_n of_o our_o joy_n upon_o all_o solemn_a occasion_n to_o he_o for_o the_o same_o i_o need_v not_o press_v home_o any_o argument_n for_o the_o particular_a duty_n of_o gratitude_n as_o the_o occasion_n of_o this_o day_n jubilee_n and_o thanksgiving_n may_v otherwise_o require_v from_o i_o because_o i_o hope_v that_o in_o so_o refine_v a_o age_n we_o be_v none_o of_o we_o grow_v such_o apostate_n to_o good_a manner_n and_o true_a religion_n as_o to_o scruple_n the_o return_v due_a thanks_o and_o acknowledgement_n for_o the_o benefit_n which_o the_o extraordinary_a providence_n of_o god_n have_v already_o vouchsafe_v to_o we_o and_o which_o we_o trust_v he_o will_v still_o continue_v to_o vouchsafe_v to_o these_o nation_n the_o reasonableness_n
