till_o now_o at_o length_n we_o be_v arrive_v at_o our_o secure_a port_n of_o peace_n and_o happiness_n and_o let_v we_o under_o a_o due_a sense_n of_o all_o this_o as_o a_o gracious_a method_n of_o heaven_n in_o bring_v to_o pass_v this_o glorious_a work_n of_o peace_n let_v we_o add_v mighty_o to_o the_o thanks_o of_o this_o day_n and_o accumulate_v our_o praise_n offering_n to_o god_n for_o such_o a_o constant_a succession_n of_o mercy_n towards_o we_o since_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o war._n and_o this_o let_v we_o do_v not_o only_o for_o a_o day_n or_o two_o but_o for_o a_o considerable_a time_n to_o come_v nay_o for_o our_o whole_a life_n if_o it_o be_v possible_a because_o such_o signal_n mercy_n do_v require_v a_o considerable_a space_n of_o time_n wherein_o grateful_o to_o commemorate_v they_o and_o because_o we_o may_v reasonable_o believe_v that_o we_o shall_v enjoy_v the_o benefit_n of_o this_o peace_n as_o long_o as_o we_o live_v while_o we_o live_v therefore_o let_v we_o praise_v the_o lord_n and_o while_o we_o have_v any_o be_v let_v we_o sing_v praise_n to_o our_o god_n second_o we_o must_v glorify_v god_n in_o declare_v his_o goodness_n to_o

infinite_a perfection_n of_o his_o nature_n this_o be_v one_o great_a reason_n why_o god_n do_v oftentimes_o so_o visible_o interpose_v his_o hand_n in_o humane_a affair_n viz._n that_o man_n may_v see_v and_o know_v and_o consider_v and_o understand_v together_o that_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o lord_n have_v do_v this_o and_o the_o holy_a one_o of_o israel_n have_v create_v it_o by_o the_o

of_o his_o law_n to_o a_o belief_n of_o his_o word_n to_o a_o dependence_n on_o and_o resignation_n to_o he_o in_o all_o the_o circumstance_n of_o life_n and_o therefore_o it_o shall_v be_v the_o great_a concern_v of_o all_o man_n as_o they_o tender_v the_o glory_n of_o god_n in_o the_o sincere_a practice_n of_o religion_n to_o declare_v and_o make_v know_v his_o signal_n providence_n through_o the_o world_n and_o to_o endeavour_v in_o all_o sincerity_n and_o gentleness_n to_o bring_v man_n over_o to_o a_o sight_n and_o acknowledgement_n of_o they_o that_o so_o they_o may_v say_v very_o there_o be_v a_o reward_n for_o the_o righteous_a very_o there_o be_v a_o god_n that_o judge_v the_o earth_n three_o we_o must_v glorify_v god_n in_o our_o duty_n to_o the_o king_n it_o

here_o his_o wisdom_n his_o justice_n his_o power_n his_o goodness_n do_v all_o of_o they_o appear_v in_o a_o most_o conspicuous_a manner_n and_o for_o man_n not_o to_o acknowledge_v their_o power_n

have_v great_a reason_n to_o be_v very_o fruitful_a in_o all_o the_o branch_n of_o our_o duty_n to_o the_o king_n for_o now_o after_o a_o great_a many_o fatigue_n and_o danger_n which_o he_o

our_o preservation_n and_o peace_n and_o therefore_o to_o he_o next_o to_o god_n let_v we_o ascribe_v all_o due_a thanks_o and_o honour_n all_o just_a admiration_n and_o praise_n all_o sincere_a love_n and_o obedience_n as_o the_o seasonable_a instrument_n of_o all_o our_o happiness_n let_v he_o now_o live_v in_o peace_n since_o he_o have_v make_v it_o himself_o and_o not_o find_v it_o a_o

that_o we_o shall_v glorify_v god_n indeed_o this_o be_v the_o great_a glory_n we_o can_v possible_o give_v to_o god_n and_o that_o which_o he_o expect_v from_o we_o as_o a_o most_o reasonable_a

which_o be_v in_o heaven_n hale_v your_o conversation_n honest_a among_o the_o gentile_n that_o whereas_o they_o speak_v against_o you_o as_o evil_a doer_n they_o may_v by_o your_o good_a work_n which_o they_o shall_v behold_v glorify_v god_n in_o the_o day_n of_o visitation_n five_o more_o particular_o let_v i_o recommend_v to_o you_o mutual_a love_n and_o affection_n one_o towards_o

instrumental_a towards_o the_o promote_a of_o god_n glory_n now_o the_o god_n of_o patience_n and_o consolation_n grant_v you_o to_o be_v like-minded_n one_o towards_o another_o and_o for_o what_o

great_a original_n who_o be_v love_n itself_o and_o who_o tender_a mercy_n be_v over_o all_o his_o work_n let_v we_o then_o in_o the_o name_n of_o god_n lay_v aside_o all_o dispute_n and_o

now_o we_o have_v peace_n from_o our_o enemy_n let_v we_o not_o be_v so_o foolish_a as_o to_o throw_v up_o the_o ball_n among_o ourselves_o never_o let_v it_o be_v say_v that_o we_o have_v bring_v

to_o that_o height_n as_o contumelious_o to_o disgorge_v themselves_o upon_o a_o man_n king_n and_o his_o god_n too_o i_o be_o very_o persuade_v that_o most_o of_o our_o difference_n in_o church_n

of_o god_n in_o the_o unity_n of_o the_o church_n and_o the_o good_a of_o government_n in_o the_o honour_n of_o the_o king_n let_v we_o now_o lay_v they_o all_o aside_o and_o expel_v they_o our_o
