they_o in_o the_o ground_n of_o divinity_n and_o principle_n of_o christian_a religion_n the_o seduction_n of_o many_o in_o this_o nation_n to_o popery_n have_v rise_v from_o hence_o their_o not_o

therefore_o among_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o contrivance_n of_o jericho_n bvilder_n this_o be_v one_o of_o the_o chief_a to_o poison_v our_o college_n to_o propagate_v popery_n in_o our_o most_o famous_a school_n of_o learning_n and_o by_o a_o malicious_a and_o illegal_a prosecution_n to_o have_v extinguish_v the_o bright_a luminary_n of_o the_o english_a church_n to_o the_o end_n that_o the_o benight_a people_n may_v the_o more_o easy_o have_v be_v mislead_v into_o the_o pitfall_n of_o superstition_n and_o slavery_n 5._o and_o because_o they_o love_v to_o fish_v in_o trouble_a

but_o if_o we_o shall_v be_v unthankful_a for_o this_o and_o the_o like_a gracious_a preservation_n if_o the_o wonder_n of_o god_n love_n do_v not_o melt_v our_o heart_n and_o work_v in_o they_o a_o

win_v we_o to_o a_o most_o constant_a and_o cheerful_a obedience_n to_o his_o holy_a command_n it_o will_v be_v just_a with_o god_n that_o those_o adversary_n shall_v still_o prove_v goad_n in_o our_o side_n and_o thorn_n in_o our_o eye_n just_o with_o god_n to_o lay_v we_o open_v again_o to_o their_o enrage_a malice_n and_o hatred_n and_o when_o we_o stand_v in_o need_n of_o deliverance_n to_o

your_o gratitude_n not_o only_o by_o word_n but_o deed_n not_o only_o by_o the_o fruit_n of_o holiness_n but_o also_o by_o work_n of_o charity_n and_o mercy_n your_o labour_n shall_v not_o be_v lose_v your_o cost_n not_o cast_v away_o for_o god_n will_v reward_v you_o thus_o honour_v he_o and_o he_o will_v honour_v you_o thus_o bless_v he_o and_o he_o will_v bless_v you_o give_v he_o his_o praise_n

that_o it_o may_v rise_v no_o more_o in_o our_o day_n or_o in_o the_o day_n of_o our_o posterity_n in_o order_n to_o this_o let_v we_o pray_v 1._o that_o god_n will_v more_v and_o more_o discover_v
