call upon you to second the zeale of his Majesty in To blesse the Lord for that Christian meeknesse of his Majesty in anticipating and preventing the very Petitions of his people for pardon and hastning the means of their security therein To blesse the Lord for his Majesties firmness in and zealous care of the Protestant Religion and withstanding all temptations which would have drawn him from it To blesse the Lord for his tender indulgence towards men of sober peaceable and pious affections who cannot in every thing come up to the judgement or practice of other of their brethren To blesse the Lord for his Christian prudence and healing moderation in endeavouring such a fraternal condescension amongst brethen as may bury all past animosities prevent all further distempers and reduce things unto an equal and amicable temperament 2. To consider how to use these mercies unto the glory of God that gave them and to the good of the whole Body and not the particular divided interest of any one Party alone It is a distinct virtue as the Historian tells us to get Victories and to use them And so likewise it is to receive mercies and to improve them Consider I beseech you what it is which the Lord calls for at your hands in such a time as this Whether after such Earthquakes and concussions such Afflictions and Temptations such little lesse then miraculous vicissitudes of divine providence which we have seen after the effusion of so many thousand mens blood after the expence of so many millions of Treasure whether he doth not justly expect that now you should be more zealous for his Glory more tender of his Church and the souls of men therein more severe against all impiety and profanenss more careful of the power of godlinesse and the powerful preachers and preaching thereof and purity of Divine Ordinances more active and solicitous to close up breaches to remove offences and by the most satisfactory provisions that may be to prevent the danger of any further distempers then ever any Parliaments have done before you That it may be recorded amongst the memorials of this Nation as once of Josiah like unto this King and this Parliament who have been so obiged with such a Series of mercies and of wonders that there was no King nor Parliament before them that turned to the Lord with all their heart and with all their soul and with all their might according to all the Law of God This shall be written for the generation to come and the people that shall be created shall praise the Lord FINIS Non se capit exundantis Laetitiae magnitudo sed dedignata pectorum latebras ita multa candida foris prominet ut intelligatur non ingentior esse quám verior Nazar Paneg.
