glory_n and_o thanksgiving_n which_o he_o be_v like_a to_o have_v among_o we_o after_o so_o many_o rich_a and_o precious_a favour_n heap_v upon_o we_o and_o see_v we_o ourselves_o who_o have_v receive_v so_o much_o can_v pay_v so_o little_a we_o will_v be_v so_o honest_a yet_o to_o charge_v our_o heir_n with_o what_o be_v come_v from_o we_o to_o the_o lord_n and_o even_o as_o david_n lay_v a_o tax_n on_o all_o nation_n all_o angel_n all_o creature_n to_o come_v in_o and_o to_o attribute_v what_o they_o can_v to_o the_o praise_n of_o the_o lord_n so_o we_o will_v lay_v a_o tax_n on_o all_o succeed_a generation_n while_o the_o world_n continue_v that_o god_n may_v not_o lose_v all_o but_o that_o he_o may_v in_o some_o proportion_n have_v the_o glory_n that_o be_v due_a unto_o his_o name_n 2._o succeed_v generation_n will_v be_v gainer_n by_o it_o too_o i_o think_v the_o prophet_n mention_n it_o as_o advantage_n and_o privilege_n to_o they_o of_o those_o time_n psal_n 44.1_o we_o have_v hear_v with_o our_o ear_n o_o god_n our_o father_n have_v tell_v we_o what_o work_v thou_o do_v in_o their_o day_n &_o in_o the_o time_n of_o old_a he_o seem_v to_o be_v affect_v very_o much_o with_o the_o relation_n and_o true_o my_o beloved_a it_o may_v be_v very_o beneficial_a to_o after_o age_n to_o be_v acquaint_v with_o the_o work_n of_o god_n to_o know_v what_o he_o have_v do_v in_o former_a time_n it_o will_v bind_v they_o and_o engage_v they_o to_o walk_v in_o some_o proportion_n answerable_a to_o they_o or_o if_o they_o do_v not_o it_o will_v be_v a_o witness_n for_o the_o

be_v unthankful_a and_o therefore_o i_o beseech_v you_o my_o beloved_a let_v we_o think_v of_o something_o in_o this_o kind_n or_o other_o after_o such_o a_o rare_a deliverance_n the_o people_n of_o the_o lord_n of_o old_a be_v wont_a to_o set_v up_o monument_n of_o the_o great_a work_n of_o god_n as_o jacob_n el_n elohe_n israel_n gen._n 33.20_o moses_n his_o jehovah_n nissi_n exod._n 17.5_o and_o samuel_n eben_n ezer_n 1._o sam._n 7.12_o and_o shall_v there_o be_v no_o monument_n of_o such_o astrange_v salvation_n as_o we_o be_v no_o memorial_n of_o such_o a_o deliverance_n as_o this_o true_o my_o brethren_n if_o you_o will_v set_v up_o some_o remembrance_n of_o it_o some_o work_n of_o piety_n or_o charity_n to_o be_v a_o strand_a monument_n of_o this_o deliverance_n you_o will_v do_v something_o worthy_a of_o yourselves_o and_o of_o the_o lord_n who_o have_v be_v so_o gracious_a to_o you_o 2._o such_o a_o deliverance_n must_v have_v such_o a_o celebration_n as_o be_v answerable_a to_o it_o and_o true_o for_o the_o outward_a part_n i_o must_v acknowledge_v you_o exceed_v in_o this_o place_n you_o do_v well_o that_o you_o triumph_n and_o shout_n ring_n make_v fire_n and_o feed_v upon_o the_o creature_n and_o that_o liberal_o too_o but_o yet_o you_o must_v not_o think_v that_o this_o be_v the_o main_a business_n for_o bodily_a exercise_n profit_v little_a nay_o which_o be_v worse_o you_o must_v not_o suffer_v it_o to_o be_v a_o hindrance_n to_o the_o main_a business_n true_o my_o brethren_n i_o have_v observe_v heretofore_o that_o there_o have_v be_v too_o much_o flesh_n too_o little_a spirit_n in_o the_o observation_n of_o this_o day_n the_o bodily_a and_o fleshly_a part_n have_v be_v very_o high_a indeed_o but_o the_o spiritual_a part_n which_o god_n alone_o regard_v for_o itself_o have_v be_v very_o low_a and_o flat_a man_n table_n have_v be_v better_o furnish_v and_o their_o body_n fine_a dress_v but_o for_o their_o prayer_n and_o their_o praise_n in_o their_o family_n or_o in_o their_o closet_n they_o have_v be_v either_o none_o at_o all_o or_o all_o one_o as_o at_o other_o time_n there_o be_v too_o many_o of_o we_o who_o have_v take_v too_o much_o liberty_n upon_o such_o day_n as_o these_o in_o a_o carnal_a fleshly_a way_n and_o have_v be_v overcharge_v and_o make_v unfit_a for_o spiritual_a service_n i_o say_v as_o the_o apostle_n such_o rejoice_v be_v not_o good_a rejoice_v be_v good_a but_o such_o rejoice_v be_v not_o good_a oh_o my_o belove_a i_o beseech_v you_o let_v not_o the_o mercy_n of_o the_o lord_n have_v a_o return_n of_o sin_n instead_o of_o a_o return_n of_o praise_n yea_o under_o the_o show_n and_o colour_n of_o praise_n do_v not_o make_v this_o bless_a day_n a_o occasion_n to_o the_o flesh_n let_v this_o be_v such_o a_o feast_n as_o follow_v a_o holy_a convocation_n and_o be_v agreeable_a and_o suitable_a to_o it_o while_o we_o be_v at_o it_o let_v we_o do_v as_o bird_n do_v sip_v a_o little_a and_o look_v up_o take_v the_o creature_n moderate_o and_o and_o look_v up_o with_o thankfulness_n to_o the_o god_n of_o our_o mercy_n let_v we_o rejoice_v with_o tremble_a tremble_v to_o sin_n against_o god_n on_o the_o day_n of_o our_o rejoice_n 3._o such_o a_o deliverance_n must_v have_v such_o a_o reformation_n as_o be_v answerable_a to_o it_o a_o choice_n and_o singular_a and_o extraordinary_a reformation_n such_o a_o one_o as_o be_v not_o to_o be_v match_v again_o in_o all_o the_o land_n as_o there_o be_v no_o deliverance_n like_o we_o so_o there_o must_v be_v no_o reformation_n like_o we_o it_o must_v be_v high_a and_o full_a beyond_o any_o other_o people_n that_o it_o may_v be_v say_v of_o we_o as_o of_o josiah_n once_o with_o reference_n to_o the_o exact_a and_o glorious_a reformation_n that_o he_o make_v like_a unto_o he_o there_o be_v no_o king_n before_o he_o nor_o after_o he_o arise_v there_o any_o such_o so_o there_o be_v never_o any_o people_n like_a to_o taunton_n for_o thankfulness_n and_o for_o obedience_n nor_o after_o they_o shall_v there_o be_v any_o such_o that_o they_o that_o look_v upon_o we_o and_o observe_v we_o may_v say_v to_o we_o as_o they_o do_v to_o the_o virtuous_a woman_n prov._n 31.29_o many_o people_n have_v do_v virtuous_o but_o you_o have_v excel_v they_o all_o never_o do_v god_n exceed_v in_o mercy_n to_o a_o people_n as_o he_o do_v to_o taunton_n and_o never_o do_v a_o people_n excel_v in_o holiness_n as_o they_o have_v do_v ah_o my_o belove_a think_v upon_o it_o after_o the_o lord_n have_v give_v we_o such_o a_o deliverance_n as_o this_o shall_v we_o again_o break_v his_o commandment_n as_o you_o have_v it_o in_o my_o text._n shall_v we_o do_v it_o who_o have_v be_v so_o signal_o deliver_v by_o the_o naked_a arm_n of_o god_n and_o shall_v we_o do_v it_o in_o the_o self_n same_o kind_n that_o we_o have_v do_v in_o former_a time_n as_o ezra_n speak_v express_o here_o shall_v we_o again_o break_v thy_o commandment_n by_o join_v in_o affinity_n with_o the_o people_n of_o the_o land_n after_o this_o shall_v we_o return_v to_o our_o old_a corruption_n and_o our_o wont_a way_n again_o shall_v those_o which_o have_v be_v heretofore_o the_o sin_n of_o taunton_n be_v the_o sin_n of_o taunton_n still_o belove_a look_v a_o little_a back_n upon_o your_o former_a practice_n and_o see_v what_o alteration_n this_o signal_n mercy_n of_o the_o lord_n have_v make_v among_o you_o especial_o those_o which_o be_v the_o public_a know_v and_o note_v evil_a of_o this_o place_n not_o to_o speak_v of_o pride_n or_o covetousness_n or_o sabbath_n profanation_n some_o say_v the_o tavern_n and_o the_o alehouse_n be_v never_o so_o frequent_v that_o drunkenness_n be_v never_o so_o common_a and_o so_o rife_o among_o we_o as_o it_o be_v at_o this_o day_n ah_o my_o beloved_a what_o will_v become_v of_o this_o in_o the_o latter_a end_n why_o very_o if_o god_n be_v still_o provoke_v thus_o he_o will_v exceed_v in_o wrath_n as_o he_o have_v do_v in_o mercy_n he_o will_v be_v angry_a till_o he_o have_v consume_v we_o that_o there_o will_v be_v no_o remnant_n nor_o escape_v he_o save_v a_o remnant_n last_o but_o now_o he_o will_v destroy_v that_o remnant_n too_o and_o make_v a_o utter_a desolation_n oh_o my_o beloved_a let_v we_o who_o be_v before_o the_o lord_n this_o day_n remember_v that_o we_o be_v the_o remainder_n that_o be_v leave_v the_o residue_n that_o be_v escape_v from_o the_o late_a judgement_n that_o have_v be_v upon_o this_o place_n to_o tell_v the_o world_n how_o sharp_a god_n have_v be_v to_o other_o and_o how_o merciful_a to_o we_o and_o therefore_o let_v the_o fear_n of_o the_o great_a god_n of_o heaven_n be_v upon_o we_o the_o remainder_n of_o our_o day_n let_v we_o consider_v why_o he_o have_v preserve_v we_o not_o to_o be_v instrument_n of_o his_o dishonour_n but_o monument_n of_o his_o praise_n that_o present_a and_o succeed_a generation_n may_v
