without_o justify_v what_o they_o have_v do_v we_o may_v well_o rejoice_v for_o what_o they_o have_v not_o do_v and_o that_o bloody_a and_o outrageous_a sacrifice_n have_v not_o be_v make_v it_o be_v the_o peculiar_a character_n and_o glory_n of_o this_o nation_n that_o tenderness_n and_o compassion_n be_v so_o natural_a to_o it_o that_o the_o unfortunate_a be_v always_o pity_v by_o they_o and_o if_o tumultuous_a number_n have_v observe_v so_o much_o temper_n in_o their_o wrath_n how_o much_o more_o be_v to_o be_v expect_v from_o council_n that_o be_v to_o be_v govern_v by_o justice_n and_o mercy_n and_o under_o the_o direction_n of_o a_o prince_n who_o have_v show_v that_o his_o hatred_n of_o persecution_n in_o other_o be_v not_o only_o because_o his_o own_o side_n suffer_v in_o it_o but_o from_o a_o steadly_a and_o uniform_a principle_n which_o have_v make_v he_o not_o only_o just_a to_o those_o of_o that_o religion_n but_o even_o kind_a too_o whensoever_o they_o deserve_v it_o we_o indeed_o aught_o to_o study_v the_o firm_a secure_n of_o our_o religion_n even_o from_o the_o remote_a possibility_n of_o hurt_n that_o can_v come_v to_o it_o from_o that_o restless_a and_o violent_a spirit_n which_o have_v hitherto_o create_v we_o so_o much_o trouble_v this_o we_o owe_v to_o almighty_a god_n to_o this_o glorious_a church_n to_o ourselves_o &_o to_o our_o posterity_n but_o in_o do_v this_o we_o must_v so_o govern_v ourselves_o as_o not_o to_o suffer_v our_o blood_n to_o boil_v too_o high_a nor_o our_o thought_n to_o run_v too_o fast_o and_o while_o we_o consider_v that_o we_o may_v perhaps_o owe_v our_o enemy_n we_o ought_v to_o take_v care_v not_o to_o forget_v what_o we_o owe_v ourselves_o that_o so_o we_o may_v look_v to_o the_o honour_n as_o well_o as_o the_o security_n of_o our_o holy_a religion_n in_o a_o word_n let_v we_o resolve_v to_o be_v christian_n indeed_o and_o to_o act_v as_o man_n that_o have_v those_o undefiled_a rule_n and_o that_o bright_a example_n which_o our_o saviour_n have_v give_v we_o ever_o in_o our_o eye_n and_o then_o it_o be_v impossible_a for_o we_o to_o miscarry_v but_o if_o revenge_n and_o animosity_n prevail_v over_o the_o soft_a and_o wise_a council_n that_o reason_n and_o religion_n may_v suggest_v and_o if_o in_o all_o that_o we_o do_v we_o take_v not_o care_n to_o have_v god_n ever_o on_o our_o side_n it_o will_v be_v easy_a for_o he_o to_o blast_v all_o council_n and_o to_o defeat_v even_o the_o great_a and_o best_a lay_v design_n we_o have_v now_o before_o our_o eye_n one_o of_o the_o signall_a instance_n that_o be_v in_o any_o history_n of_o the_o instability_n of_o all_o human_a thing_n on_o which_o one_o can_v reflect_v without_o make_v a_o full_a stop_n in_o his_o thought_n but_o the_o subject_n be_v so_o speak_v that_o it_o need_v not_o be_v insist_v on_o and_o there_o be_v particular_a circumstance_n in_o it_o that_o forbid_v it_o but_o if_o it_o be_v not_o decent_a to_o speak_v much_o of_o it_o yet_o i_o hope_v none_o be_v so_o insensible_a as_o not_o to_o think_v much_o of_o it_o perhaps_o some_o may_v imagine_v that_o be_v safe_a because_o we_o can_v be_v dash_v on_o the_o same_o rock_n about_o which_o we_o see_v so_o great_a a_o shipwarck_n but_o alas_o if_o we_o provoke_v god_n to_o hide_v his_o face_n and_o to_o withdraw_v his_o protection_n from_o we_o his_o way_n be_v past_o find_v out_o he_o can_v bring_v ruin_n and_o destruction_n on_o we_o from_o that_o hand_n from_o which_o we_o perhaps_o apprehend_v on_o we_o from_o that_o hand_n from_o which_o we_o perhaps_o apprehend_v it_o the_o least_o if_o prosperity_n and_o success_n blow_v and_o up_o and_o make_v they_o forget_v god_n and_o all_o the_o vow_n that_o they_o make_v to_o he_o he_o will_v never_o want_v mean_n and_o method_n to_o make_v they_o return_v to_o themselves_o and_o to_o remember_v he_o upon_o the_o whole_a matter_n then_o since_o god_n have_v wrought_v so_o extraordinary_a a_o deliverance_n for_o we_o let_v we_o adore_v he_o who_o be_v the_o true_a author_n of_o it_o and_o under_o he_o let_v we_o pay_v all_o the_o return_v possible_a of_o respect_n and_o gratitude_n to_o that_o bless_a instrument_n on_o who_o he_o have_v lay_v so_o much_o glory_n let_v we_o improve_v it_o to_o the_o high_a and_o noble_a end_n that_o can_v be_v think_v on_o let_v we_o live_v under_o as_o become_v those_o who_o take_v care_n to_o do_v nothing_o that_o may_v render_v they_o unworthy_a of_o the_o continuance_n of_o it_o and_o let_v we_o all_o in_o our_o several_a station_n study_v to_o behave_v ourselves_o so_o that_o the_o glory_n as_o well_o as_o the_o safety_n of_o the_o nation_n and_o the_o lustre_n as_o well_o as_o the_o establishment_n of_o our_o religion_n may_v be_v raise_v up_o to_o that_o pitch_n that_o the_o name_n of_o a_o englishman_n and_o a_o protestant_n may_v have_v a_o sound_a all_o the_o world_n over_o that_o may_v give_v terror_n as_o well_o as_o create_v esteem_n and_o that_o this_o work_n which_o be_v now_o bring_v to_o so_o great_a a_o forwardness_n may_v in_o due_a time_n attain_v to_o its_o full_a perfection_n and_o that_o then_o we_o may_v all_o have_v reason_n to_o break_v forth_o in_o the_o triumphant_a word_n with_o which_o this_o psalm_n begin_v o_o give_v thanks_o unto_o the_o lord_n for_o he_o be_v good_a because_o his_o mercy_n endure_v for_o ever_o let_v israel_n now_o say_v that_o his_o mercy_n endure_v for_o ever_o let_v the_o house_n of_o aaron_n now_o say_v that_o his_o mercy_n endure_v for_o ever_o and_o let_v
