than_o the_o most_o special_a promise_n whatever_o and_o therefore_o they_o be_v a_o equal_a encouragement_n for_o our_o faith_n and_o hope_n how_o much_o the_o general_a interest_n of_o the_o

same_o visible_a distinguish_a providence_n in_o reward_v man_n faith_n with_o temporal_a blessing_n as_o in_o the_o day_n of_o old_a but_o yet_o as_o he_o be_v still_o governor_n of_o the_o world_n he_o seem_v engage_v to_o crown_v the_o faith_n and_o piety_n of_o nation_n with_o visible_a success_n that_o by_o this_o mean_v he_o may_v signalise_v his_o providence_n to_o the_o world_n and_o keep_v up_o a_o just_a sense_n and_o esteem_v for_o religion_n by_o give_v such_o a_o open_a testimony_n and_o approbation_n to_o it_o as_o for_o the_o virtue_n of_o private_a man_n indeed_o they_o be_v not_o always_o blessed_v here_o with_o good_a fortune_n and_o success_n because_o in_o their_o single_a capacity_n they_o shall_v be_v sufficient_o reward_v in_o another_o world_n but_o fince_n public_a society_n and_o nation_n as_o they_o be_v politic_a collective_a body_n have_v no_o other_o stage_n but_o this_o world_n for_o the_o reward_n and_o punishment_n of_o their_o common_a virtue_n and_o vice_n therefore_o providence_n seem_v more_o high_o concern_v to_o dispense_v and_o award_v they_o in_o this_o present_a life_n and_o this_o have_v be_v the_o general_a observation_n of_o the_o heathen_a state_n that_o their_o god_n bestow_v victory_n and_o triumph_n upon_o kingdom_n according_a to_o man_n piety_n and_o dependence_n on_o they_o hence_o tully_n make_v a_o fair_a acknowledgement_n that_o the_o roman_n do_v not_o owe_v their_o conquest_n either_o to_o a_o prevail_a strength_n or_o to_o their_o own_o extraordinary_a valour_n art_n or_o stratagem_n but_o that_o they_o subdue_v the_o whole_a world_n by_o the_o irresistible_a power_n of_o religion_n and_o zosimus_n ascribe_v the_o fall_n of_o that_o empire_n to_o the_o contempt_n of_o their_o god_n and_o a_o disregard_n to_o their_o worship_n and_o if_o these_o be_v the_o usual_a method_n of_o providence_n in_o reward_v the_o faith_n and_o piety_n of_o nation_n it_o be_v obvious_a to_o conclude_v what_o a_o mighty_a influence_n our_o religious_a belief_n may_v carry_v in_o subdue_a kingdom_n and_o therefore_o if_o we_o will_v all_o joint_o agree_v in_o advance_v our_o faith_n and_o religion_n together_o with_o our_o arm_n we_o shall_v have_v but_o little_a reason_n to_o doubt_v of_o the_o happy_a issue_n and_o success_n of_o they_o and_o what_o ground_n and_o encouragement_n we_o have_v to_o hope_v for_o this_o success_n be_v the_o second_o general_a head_n to_o be_v consider_v and_o here_o whether_o we_o regard_v either_o the_o promise_n of_o god_n to_o his_o church_n or_o the_o

out_o be_v strong_a and_o of_o a_o good_a courage_n you_o shall_v possess_v the_o land_n as_o to_o the_o former_a what_o ground_n we_o have_v to_o hope_v from_o god_n promise_n it_o must_v be_v grant_v that_o we_o have_v no_o particular_a promise_n make_v to_o we_o that_o we_o shall_v subdue_v this_o or_o that_o nation_n as_o the_o worthy_n of_o this_o chapter_n have_v but_o since_o it_o must_v be_v allow_v that_o god_n almighty_n do_v exercise_n as_o great_a a_o care_n over_o the_o christian_n as_o over_o the_o jewish_a church_n we_o can_v well_o suppose_v that_o he_o have_v leave_v it_o without_o the_o same_o hope_n and_o encouragement_n we_o all_o know_v that_o in_o these_o last_o day_n he_o give_v up_o his_o own_o son_n that_o he_o may_v purchase_v to_o himself_o a_o church_n at_o the_o expense_n of_o his_o own_o blood_n and_o as_o this_o be_v a_o high_a demonstration_n of_o love_n than_o ever_o be_v show_v to_o the_o world_n before_o so_o it_o give_v we_o most_o solid_a and_o rational_a ground_n for_o our_o hope_n and_o confidence_n and_o as_o great_a love_n than_o this_o can_v not_o be_v show_v so_o neither_o any_o great_a security_n than_o those_o general_a
