to_o that_o of_o our_o redemption_n be_v ransom_v thereby_o from_o the_o great_a tyranny_n but_o that_o of_o hell_n and_o restore_v to_o our_o sovereign_n and_o in_o he_o to_o the_o great_a of_o earthly_a and_o temporal_a blessing_n and_o therefore_o have_v all_o the_o reason_n imaginable_a to_o break_v forth_o into_o this_o grateful_a recognition_n of_o the_o psalmist_n the_o lord_n have_v do_v great_a thing_n for_o we_o whereof_o we_o be_v glad_a in_o the_o prosecution_n of_o which_o word_n which_o i_o hope_v may_v suit_v with_o the_o serious_a business_n of_o the_o day_n i_o shall_v endeavour_v these_o three_o thing_n 1._o i_o shall_v observe_v unto_o you_o the_o great_a thing_n that_o god_n have_v do_v for_o we_o the_o signal_n mercy_n he_o have_v vouchsafe_v unto_o we_o in_o this_o day_n dispensation_n second_o i_o shall_v endeavour_v to_o show_v since_o there_o be_v no_o good_a christian_n or_o good_a subject_n which_o be_v reciprocal_a and_o convertible_a term_n but_o will_v one_o way_n or_o other_o be_v glad_a and_o rejoice_v in_o this_o day_n which_o the_o lord_n have_v make_v which_o way_n and_o by_o what_o mean_n we_o may_v best_o and_o most_o acceptable_o

then_o i_o shall_v observe_v unto_o you_o the_o great_a thing_n that_o god_n have_v do_v for_o we_o the_o signal_n mercy_n he_o have_v vouchsafe_v unto_o we_o in_o this_o day_n dispensation_n both_o which_o topic_n if_o take_v together_o will_v try_v the_o utmost_a stretch_n of_o thought_n and_o contemplation_n will_v amount_v to_o a_o subject_a that_o can_v never_o be_v exhaust_v such_o that_o

gratitude_n when_o we_o have_v be_v swallow_v up_o in_o the_o deep_a contemplation_n of_o the_o divine_a goodness_n and_o protection_n to_o which_o we_o owe_v our_o present_a stabiliment_n and_o continuance_n when_o we_o have_v almost_o breathe_v out_o our_o very_a soul_n into_o ecstasy_n of_o joy_n and_o pious_a rapture_n of_o thanksgiving_n and_o in_o a_o word_n have_v with_o the_o best_a

majesty_n miraculous_a restauration_n from_o the_o misery_n and_o hardship_n of_o a_o cruel_a exile_n and_o unnatural_a banishment_n when_o we_o have_v do_v this_o and_o more_o we_o shall_v still_o find_v matter_n of_o wonder_n before_o we_o to_o silent_o admire_v when_o we_o can_v no_o long_o express_v the_o immense_a goodness_n and_o stupendous_a bounty_n of_o heaven_n extend_v unto_o we_o in_o these_o two_o instance_n of_o the_o day_n the_o nativity_n of_o our_o sovereign_n and_o his_o accession_n to_o the_o throne_n and_o though_o we_o may_v well_o expatiate_v on_o both_o and_o have_v as_o great_a reason_n to_o bless_v and_o praise_n god_n for_o the_o one_o as_o well_o as_o the_o other_o to_o bless_v god_n that_o he_o who_o rule_v over_o we_o rule_v by_o undoubted_a succession_n that_o he_o be_v our_o natural_a lord_n and_o bear_v prince_n that_o he_o sway_v the_o sceptre_n not_o by_o violence_n and_o usurpation_n as_o the_o late_a infamous_a protector_n not_o by_o adoption_n as_o tiberius_n not_o by_o election_n as_o vespasian_n heretofore_o among_o the_o roman_n but_o by_o a_o uninterrupted_a lineal_a descent_n but_o by_o a_o unalterable_a right_n of_o inheritance_n a_o right_n that_o can_v be_v alienate_v without_o the_o high_a violation_n of_o justice_n oath_n and_o law_n national_a natural_a and_o sacred_a though_o i_o say_v these_o be_v blessing_n if_o any_o can_v be_v equal_a with_o those_o of_o his_o majesty_n happy_a thrice_o happy_a restauration_n yet_o i_o shall_v forbear_v the_o consideration_n of_o they_o at_o present_a and_o speak_v to_o the_o latter_a chief_o wherein_o we_o have_v sufficient_a to_o exert_v our_o wonder_n and_o to_o make_v we_o conclude_v with_o the_o psalmist_n 10._o psal_n 59_o ver_fw-la 10._o that_o god_n have_v show_v
