over_o all_o his_o work_n so_o his_o providence_n do_v more_o especial_o concern_v itself_o in_o the_o preservation_n of_o state_n and_o kingdom_n second_o that_o almighty_a god_n do_v more_o

particular_a event_n that_o plain_o discover_v the_o special_a hand_n of_o god_n in_o the_o management_n of_o '_o they_o four_o that_o it_o be_v the_o indispensible_a duty_n of_o the_o people_n of_o god_n both_o careful_o to_o remark_n and_o religious_o to_o celebrate_v the_o miraculous_a dispensation_n of_o divine_a providence_n in_o the_o preservation_n of_o his_o church_n and_o five_o that_o the_o gracious_a deliverance_n that_o god_n be_v please_v to_o vouchsafe_v these_o nation_n as_o on_o this_o day_n have_v very_o illustrious_a mark_n of_o a_o extraordinary_a providence_n impress_v upon_o it_o first_o i_o say_v as_o god_n mercy_n be_v over_o all_o his_o work_n so_o his_o providence_n do_v more_o especial_o concern_v itself_o in_o the_o preservation_n of_o state_n and_o kingdom_n among_o the_o innumerable_a benefit_n that_o the_o plant_n of_o the_o christian_a religion_n have_v oblige_v the_o world_n withal_o the_o clear_a discovery_n of_o a_o universal_a providence_n more_o especial_o express_v in_o the_o guidance_n and_o management_n of_o human_a affair_n may_v reasonable_o be_v account_v a_o very_a considerable_a and_o extraordinary_a blessing_n for_o by_o the_o promulgation_n of_o the_o gospel_n we_o be_v all_o infallible_o assure_v that_o god_n providence_n be_v extend_v not_o only_o to_o thing_n that_o be_v most_o distant_a and_o conceal_v from_o human_a view_n but_o also_o to_o the_o most_o minute_n and_o seem_o contemptible_a object_n and_o occurrence_n thus_o our_o saviour_n speak_v to_o his_o disciple_n be_v not_o two_o sparrow_n sell_v for_o a_o farthing_n yet_o not_o one_o of_o they_o do_v fall_v to_o the_o ground_n without_o your_o father_n and_o again_o he_o tell_v his_o disciple_n in_o the_o follow_a word_n that_o the_o very_a hair_n of_o their_o head_n be_v all_o number_v so_o that_o as_o nothing_o be_v so_o little_a as_o to_o escape_v god_n knowledge_n so_o nothing_o be_v so_o despicable_a as_o to_o be_v disdain_v by_o his_o providence_n for_o whatsoever_o he_o be_v please_v to_o create_v by_o his_o power_n will_v certain_o be_v take_v care_n of_o by_o his_o goodness_n yet_o since_o there_o be_v different_a degree_n of_o excellency_n in_o the_o creature_n we_o may_v reasonable_o conclude_v that_o according_a to_o the_o various_a measure_n of_o their_o respective_a perfection_n the_o power_n and_o mercy_n of_o almighty_a god_n will_v be_v more_o or_o less_o concern_v in_o their_o protection_n and_o defence_n now_o since_o man_n be_v the_o glory_n of_o the_o visible_a world_n and_o all_o thing_n we_o here_o

his_o care_n in_o the_o preservation_n of_o our_o person_n and_o the_o promote_a of_o our_o welfare_n will_v express_v itself_o in_o a_o more_o illustrious_a manner_n than_o in_o consult_v the_o

than_o that_o of_o private_a person_n it_o have_v be_v general_o observe_v in_o all_o precede_a age_n from_o the_o foundation_n of_o the_o world_n that_o divine_a providence_n have_v be_v often_o very_o eminent_o visible_a in_o prevent_v the_o dissolution_n of_o state_n and_o empire_n and_o according_o we_o read_v in_o the_o prophet_n daniel_n in_o the_o 10_o chapter_n of_o his_o prophecy_n that_o god_n have_v be_v please_v to_o appoint_v particular_a tutelar_a angel_n over_o several_a country_n to_o manage_v public_a affair_n and_o to_o promote_v the_o common_a good_a of_o their_o

day_n and_o the_o meaning_n of_o that_o title_n of_o the_o prince_n of_o persia_n in_o that_o text_n be_v general_o think_v to_o be_v the_o guardian_n angel_n of_o that_o country_n who_o it_o seem_v very_o diligent_o solicit_v the_o concern_v of_o the_o persian_a empire_n in_o the_o court_n of_o heaven_n second_o that_o almighty_a god_n do_v more_o remarkable_o employ_v his_o power_n and_o

against_o the_o secret_a conspiracy_n and_o the_o forcible_a assault_n of_o their_o inveterate_a enemy_n and_o that_o we_o may_v the_o more_o full_o be_v assure_v that_o there_o be_v no_o reason_n to_o fear_v the_o dark_a design_n and_o malicious_a contrivance_n of_o our_o most_o subtle_a and_o potent_a adversary_n god_n himself_o be_v declare_v by_o the_o prophet_n david_n in_o 84th_o psalm_n
