all_o our_o wise_a and_o best_a friend_n can_v have_v do_v and_o then_o if_o we_o consider_v further_o how_o sudden_a and_o surprise_v it_o be_v so_o that_o we_o can_v hardly_o believe_v it_o when_o

through_o a_o red_a sea_n of_o blood_n we_o will_v have_v value_v it_o more_o but_o this_o sure_o be_v great_a wantonness_n and_o whatever_o we_o think_v of_o it_o one_o of_o the_o high_a

the_o people_n speak_v against_o god_n and_o against_o 6._o moses_n wherefore_o have_v you_o bring_v we_o up_o out_o of_o egypt_n to_o die_v in_o the_o wilderness_n etc._n etc._n impeach_v god_n and_o

a_o conclusion_n i_o will_v comprehend_v my_o advice_n to_o you_o upon_o the_o whole_a matter_n in_o as_o few_o word_n as_o i_o can_v let_v we_o use_v this_o great_a deliverance_n which_o god_n have_v give_v we_o such_o a_o deliverance_n as_o this_o from_o our_o enemy_n and_o from_o the_o hand_n of_o all_o that_o hate_v we_o not_o by_o use_v they_o as_o they_o will_v have_v do_v we_o have_v we_o fall_v under_o their_o power_n with_o great_a insolence_n and_o rage_n and_o cruelty_n but_o with_o great_a moderation_n and_o clemency_n make_v as_o few_o example_n of_o severity_n as_o will_v be_v consistent_a with_o our_o future_a security_n from_o the_o like_a attempt_n upon_o our_o religion_n and_o law_n and_o even_o in_o the_o execution_n of_o justice_n upon_o the_o great_a offender_n let_v we_o not_o give_v so_o much_o countenance_n to_o the_o ill_a example_n which_o have_v be_v set_v of_o extravagant_a fine_n and_o punishment_n as_o to_o imitate_v those_o pattern_n which_o with_o so_o much_o reason_n we_o abhor_v no_o not_o in_o the_o punishment_n of_o the_o author_n of_o they_o and_o let_v we_o endeavour_v for_o once_o to_o be_v so_o wise_a as_o not_o to_o forfeit_v the_o fruit_n of_o this_o deliverance_n and_o to_o hinder_v ourselves_o of_o the_o benefit_n and_o advantage_n of_o it_o by_o breach_n and_o division_n among_o our_o self_n as_o we_o have_v no_o reason_n to_o desire_v it_o so_o i_o think_v we_o can_v hardly_o ever_o hope_v to_o understand_v popery_n better_o and_o the_o cruel_a design_n of_o it_o than_o we_o do_v already_o both_o from_o the_o long_a trial_n and_o experience_n which_o we_o have_v have_v of_o it_o in_o this_o nation_n and_o likewise_o from_o that_o dismal_a and_o horrid_a view_n which_o have_v of_o late_o be_v give_v we_o of_o

more_o particular_o yet_o that_o which_o be_v call_v the_o great_a trespass_n here_o in_o the_o text_n their_o join_n in_o affinity_n with_o the_o people_n of_o these_o abomination_n by_o who_o they_o have_v be_v detain_v in_o a_o long_a captivity_n this_o i_o say_v seem_v to_o have_v have_v both_o from_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o thing_n and_o the_o just_a judgement_n of_o god_n no_o small_a influence_n upon_o a_o great_a part_n of_o the_o misery_n and_o calamity_n which_o have_v befall_v we_o for_o have_v it_o not_o be_v for_o the_o countenance_n which_o popery_n have_v by_o the_o

we_o to_o this_o day_n which_o will_v i_o hope_v now_o be_v a_o good_a warning_n to_o those_o who_o have_v the_o authority_n to_o do_v it_o to_o make_v effectual_a provision_n by_o law_n for_o the_o
