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

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

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

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
