instance_n of_o god_n handiwork_n but_o such_o as_o be_v miraculous_a or_o can_v he_o be_v concern_v in_o no_o occurrent_a because_o he_o do_v not_o tell_v we_o by_o a_o angel_n mouth_n that_o he_o be_v so_o be_v there_o not_o rather_o rational_a evidence_n of_o his_o providence_n which_o though_o not_o miraculous_a yet_o such_o as_o be_v very_a convince_a and_o satisfactory_a that_o god_n hand_n and_o counsel_n be_v therein_o one_o will_v almost_o conclude_v that_o there_o be_v no_o such_o evidence_n when_o he_o reflect_v upon_o the_o intolerable_a atheism_n and_o infidelity_n of_o the_o present_a age_n with_o respect_n to_o all_o such_o occurrence_n instead_o of_o religion_n gain_v ground_n hereby_o irreligion_n and_o profaneness_n have_v abundant_o increase_v and_o where_o such_o thing_n have_v be_v do_v as_o can_v be_v the_o contrivance_n of_o none_o but_o of_o a_o alwise_a just_a and_o merciful_a god_n man_n have_v take_v occasion_n even_o from_o hence_o to_o become_v mere_a sceptic_n and_o atheist_n as_o to_o his_o be_v and_o providence_n in_o this_o i_o particular_o refer_v to_o the_o late_a revolution_n since_o which_o if_o my_o observation_n fail_v not_o atheism_n and_o irreligion_n have_v make_v a_o more_o considerable_a advance_v than_o ordinary_a and_o which_o one_o will_v think_v something_o strange_a but_o yet_o it_o be_v what_o i_o have_v observe_v with_o some_o resentment_n and_o conserve_v that_o such_o atheistical_a notion_n and_o practice_n have_v take_v foundation_n even_o from_o that_o very_a revolution_n if_o these_o do_v only_o arise_v in_o some_o tender_a though_o weak_a christian_n from_o their_o reflect_v upon_o the_o great_a wickedness_n of_o the_o nation_n and_o from_o thence_o take_v offence_n at_o the_o deliverance_n something_o may_v be_v say_v in_o order_n to_o reclaim_v they_o and_o one_o need_v but_o show_v that_o sometime_o the_o holy_a name_n honour_n and_o glory_n of_o god_n may_v be_v concern_v for_o the_o deliverance_n even_o of_o such_o a_o wicked_a people_n and_o the_o forementioned_a scandal_n must_v needs_o cease_v but_o alas_o their_o atheism_n and_o irreligion_n be_v found_v upon_o other_o topic_n and_o be_v most_o rampant_a in_o a_o quite_o different_a sort_n of_o man_n but_o this_o i_o can_v only_o at_o present_a lament_n and_o bewail_v 2._o seeing_z god_n hand_n and_o counsel_n have_v so_o remarkable_o appear_v in_o the_o late_a deliverance_n of_o our_o king_n and_o country_n let_v we_o be_v persuade_v particular_o to_o own_o and_o acknowledge_v he_o therein_o if_o we_o perform_v not_o this_o duty_n and_o that_o with_o hearty_a seriousness_n and_o concern_v too_o we_o make_v the_o worst_a abuse_n of_o it_o imaginable_a because_o our_o own_n of_o it_o be_v as_o appear_v by_o the_o text_n the_o great_a thing_n that_o give_v foundation_n to_o the_o deliverance_n beside_o we_o hereby_o lose_v the_o great_a part_n of_o the_o benefit_n we_o may_v enjoy_v by_o the_o deliverance_n and_o that_o be_v a_o confirmation_n of_o the_o goodness_n and_o blessing_n of_o god_n upon_o ourselves_o and_o country_n for_o such_o as_o these_o god_n almighty_n may_v work_v one_o deliverance_n after_o another_o and_o have_v nought_o for_o his_o requital_n but_o silence_n and_o ingratitude_n he_o may_v free_v they_o from_o the_o worst_a of_o misery_n and_o instate_v they_o in_o the_o quiet_a enjoyment_n of_o the_o great_a blessing_n and_o yet_o be_v con_v no_o thanks_o for_o his_o labour_n and_o give_v i_o leave_v to_o add_v that_o it_o be_v a_o sad_a thing_n to_o observe_v how_o many_o we_o have_v of_o these_o even_o among_o ourselves_o though_o our_o deliverance_n fall_v short_a of_o none_o and_o have_v all_o the_o forementioned_a character_n in_o it_o of_o god_n handiwork_n yet_o how_o few_o be_v there_o who_o own_o and_o acknowledge_v it_o some_o from_o a_o wont_a blindness_n and_o never_o look_v far_o than_o the_o mere_a surface_n of_o thing_n other_o from_o not_o consider_v the_o circumstance_n of_o it_o with_o intensiveness_n and_o application_n of_o mind_n a_o three_o sort_n from_o a_o opinion_n they_o have_v imbibe_v of_o god_n unconcernedness_n with_o the_o world_n and_o leave_v all_o to_o second_o cause_n and_o another_o sort_n i_o fear_v there_o be_v who_o from_o a_o prejudice_n and_o disaffection_n to_o the_o thing_n itself_o look_v upon_o it_o as_o the_o do_n of_o the_o manichee_n evil_a god_n who_o be_v the_o author_n of_o all_o wickedness_n and_o confusion_n rather_o than_o of_o he_o who_o do_v nothing_o but_o what_o be_v true_o good_a in_o short_a some_o from_o one_o ground_n and_o some_o from_o another_o take_v so_o little_a notice_n of_o god_n hand_n and_o influence_n therein_o that_o they_o seem_v little_a or_o nothing_o to_o regard_v it_o and_o thus_o like_o israel_n of_o old_a god_n do_v great_a thing_n for_o we_o and_o we_o observe_v they_o not_o and_o do_v not_o the_o government_n by_o religious_o appoint_v day_n of_o fast_v on_o the_o one_o hand_n and_o of_o thanksgiving_n on_o the_o other_o declare_v its_o sentiment_n in_o the_o matter_n namely_o that_o it_o be_v the_o lord_n do_v i_o know_v not_o how_o we_o shall_v avoid_v the_o national_a gild_n of_o not_o answer_v the_o end_n which_o god_n tell_v we_o he_o aim_v at_o therein_o that_o be_v that_o we_o shall_v know_v that_o he_o be_v the_o lord_n however_o for_o our_o part_n see_v we_o have_v so_o good_a a_o example_n and_o authority_n too_o for_o our_o acknowledgement_n of_o his_o providence_n therein_o let_v we_o not_o fail_v to_o imitate_v it_o and_o see_v our_o own_n this_o be_v not_o the_o all_o that_o be_v expect_v from_o we_o but_o a_o suitable_a praise_n thanksgiving_n and_o gratitude_n let_v we_o not_o be_v deficient_a in_o they_o neither_o now_o we_o know_v our_o deliverer_n let_v we_o be_v thankful_a to_o he_o and_o suitable_a to_o the_o benefit_n we_o enjoy_v by_o the_o deliverance_n so_o let_v our_o acknowledgement_n be_v then_o will_v god_n almighty_a return_n to_o we_o and_o that_o it_o may_v be_v with_o a_o increase_n of_o blessing_n then_o will_v he_o render_v our_o fleet_n prosperous_a and_o our_o army_n successful_a then_o will_v he_o put_v a_o end_n to_o the_o sad_a and_o deplorable_a war_n abroad_o and_o compose_v our_o unhappy_a difference_n at_o home_n and_o last_o then_o will_v he_o preserve_v to_o we_o our_o gracious_a sovereign_n and_o with_o they_o our_o religion_n and_o all_o that_o be_v dear_a and_o in_o so_o do_v will_v purchase_v to_o himself_o from_o all_o good_a
