forsaken cast down but not destroyed Why the Psalmist tells you Psal 37. 23 24. The Lord ordereth the good mans goings and makes his way acceptable to himself Though he fall he shall not be cast away for the Lord upholdeth him with his hand And therefore our greatest Misery is not past a Remedy Oh no Blessed be God there is Helpe for it Honour with it Comfort in it and Profit by it Now to beare up thy poor Soul against the most boisterous winds and the raging Sea of the most tempestuous Troubles remember these Four things 1.

That Condition is the best which the Lord sends come a Calme or a Tempest Prosperity or Adversity Health or Sicknesse Life or Death that Condition is the best which the Lord sends because every Condition to a Child of God is a sanctified Condition The Lord will sanctifie our Sorrows by giving us comfort and I blessed be God have found it so The Lord will sanctifie our Poverty by giving us Contentment and I blessed be God have found it so The Lord will sanctifie our Troubles by giving of us Patience and I blessed be God have found it so The Lord will sanctifie our Patience by giving us Deliverance and you and I and All blessed be God have found it so as at this day Therefore remember 3. that thou hast Jesus Christ with thee in the ship If at any time a Tempest shall Arise upon thy Goods by way of plunder or if a Tempest shall Arise upon thy good Name by way of Slander or if a Tempest shall Arise upon thy Liberty by way of Imprisonment or if a Tempest shall arise upon any thing thou hast by way of Oppression then remember I say that thou hast Jesus Christ with thee in the ship though he be but in the hinder part yet there he is absent himself he will not and want for help thou canst not so long as he is there for 4. And lastly remember that as the Glory of Jesus Christ shall one day be Thine so for the present thy sufferings shall be his His Glory shall be thine for the Glory that thou gavest Me I have given Them saith Christ that they may be one as we are one Father I will that they which thou hast given me be with me even where I am that they may behold my Glory John 17. 22. 24. and till then Thy sufferings shall be his Saul Saul saith Christ Why persecutest thou me Me the Lord is wounded through his servants sides and the wrongs done them are as done unto himself Acts. 9. 4. Come then Oh come poor soul acheer let not thy Heart be over sad nor thy Spirit disquieted The Deluge did but mount the Arke the nearer unto Heaven and the Tempest here did but make the Disciples to know the Lord the more No Winds nor Weather nor Waves nor Rocks can Wrack the Vessel in which Christ sailes no nor Words nor Actions nor Men nor Divels can Assinate the King whom the Lord preserves for The Lord will hide him and that privily he will hide him privily and that by his own presence from the provoking of all men ye a and he will keep him too and that secretly he will keep him secretly and that in his own Tabernacle from the strife of Tongues Psal 31. 22. and now Oh miranda loquor what a providence have we seen made happily obvious to the glory of our good God the settlement of this disturbed Nation and the wonder of all the World Oh how may our Mouthes be filled with Laughter and our Tongues with Joy since the Lord in mercy hath so strangely and so truly made our Bondage to cease and our Freedome to return Oh that our Lawful king our Native Prince so long a time by so strong a hand Banisht from his Rightful Throne should now return return in peace without any blood spilt or any person hurt in so wonderful a Tryumph that his Majesty should be brought Home with prayers of affection and teares of joy flying as it were upon the Wings of the love and loyalty of all faithfull Subjects certainly 't is a providence never to be forgotten 't is a mercy to be acknowledged this day henceforth and for ever Oh let us so Honour the King as to serve God and so serve God as to love our Neighbour that so being alway Holy towards God and Loyal to our Soveraign and loving to each other we may keepe and alwaies keepe the Unity of the Spirit in the Bond of Peace Which that we may let us so live as becomes the Gospel let us now so rejoyce as becomes good Subjects and Oh remember I beseech you that it is not the owning of the King's Cause nor the Honouring of the King's Person nor the Drinking of the King's Health but it is our fearing of God and amending our lives which will make the King Happy and our selves blessed To conclude Let us remember when any Affliction doth befall either our Prince or the Church or the State or our selves then not to think it either Strange or New or Remedilesse Not Strange because t is Natural Not New because t is Common Not Remedilesse because t is Curable For we have a Lord to save us in the most perishing Condition This day we have knowingly found it and we do this day thankfully acknowledge it in the present Restoration of our Soveraigne King Charles And therefore that the Lord our God may blesse our King and blesse VS All let us ever Pray Lord Save us or we Perish FINIS
