zealous_a for_o but_o a_o liberty_n in_o religion_n that_o be_v that_o every_o one_o may_v have_v his_o liberty_n to_o be_v of_o any_o religion_n or_o of_o none_o which_o serve_v the_o atheist_n turn_v as_o well_o as_o the_o sectary_n but_o be_v not_o much_o for_o the_o honour_n or_o interest_n of_o true_a religion_n so_o that_o whatever_o the_o pretence_n be_v it_o be_v a_o ambitious_a discontent_a revengeful_a spirit_n a_o uneasy_a restless_a fickle_a and_o changeable_a humour_n which_o disturb_v public_a government_n and_o undermine_v the_o throne_n of_o prince_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v no_o wonder_n if_o the_o best_a prince_n and_o the_o best_a government_n in_o the_o world_n be_v disturb_v by_o such_o man_n david_n himself_o can_v not_o escape_v he_o have_v a_o great_a many_o enemy_n but_o david_n god_n be_v great_a than_o they_o all_o for_o great_a deliverance_n give_v he_o to_o his_o king_n and_o sheweth_z mercy_n to_o his_o anoint_v to_o david_n and_o to_o his_o

deliverance_n god_n wrought_v for_o david_n be_v personal_a too_o and_o a_o example_n of_o god_n care_n and_o protection_n of_o pious_a and_o religious_a prince_n and_o when_o we_o see_v the_o same_o good_a providence_n watch_v over_o our_o prince_n and_o secure_v he_o from_o the_o bloody_a design_n of_o wicked_a man_n we_o have_v reason_n thankful_o to_o acknowledge_v it_o as_o david_n do_v

be_v much_o unlike_a i_o be_o sure_a not_o inferior_a to_o david_n and_o his_o deliverance_n have_v not_o be_v less_o strange_a and_o wonderful_a i_o be_o not_o a_o go_v to_o give_v you_o a_o

how_o many_o danger_n a_o prince_n be_v expose_v to_o who_o fly_v before_o a_o enrage_a and_o victorious_a enemy_n who_o know_v not_o whither_o to_o go_v where_o to_o hide_v himself_o who_o to_o trust_v this_o be_v the_o condition_n of_o our_o dread_a sovereign_n who_o be_v hunt_v as_o a_o partridge_n in_o the_o mountain_n pursue_v by_o his_o own_o rebellious_a subject_n who_o have_v usurp_v his_o throne_n and_o thirst_v after_o his_o blood_n but_o then_o god_n find_v a_o hide_v place_n for_o he_o and_o deliver_v he_o from_o the_o desire_n and_o expectation_n of_o his_o enemy_n but_o still_o his_o condition_n be_v calamitous_a he_o be_v force_v to_o live_v in_o exile_n and_o banishment_n divest_v of_o royal_a power_n and_o all_o the_o ensign_n of_o majesty_n reduce_v to_o a_o precarious_a and_o sometime_o a_o necessitous_a state_n while_o he_o see_v his_o friend_n impoverish_v and_o ruin_v his_o loyal_a subject_n oppress_v his_o enemy_n triumphant_a too_o vigilant_a and_o too_o powerful_a to_o allow_v any_o hope_n to_o see_v a_o end_n of_o these_o trouble_n but_o that_o god_n who_o can_v do_v what_o he_o please_v and_o oftentimes_o do_v such_o thing_n as_o no_o humane_a force_n nor_o power_n can_v effect_v put_v a_o end_n to_o these_o trouble_v also_o and_o restore_v he_o to_o his_o father_n throne_n in_o peace_n and_o honour_n and_o with_o the_o universal_a joy_n and_o triumph_v of_o his_o subject_n and_o i_o suppose_v you_o will_v reckon_v this_o a_o deliverance_n a_o great_a and_o wonderful_a deliverance_n both_o to_o prince_n and_o people_n a_o deliverance_n immediate_o wrought_v by_o god_n without_o humane_a policy_n contrivance_n or_o power_n to_o see_v a_o prince_n who_o father_n be_v murder_v and_o himself_o force_v into_o banishment_n by_o his_o own_o subject_n without_o any_o power_n of_o his_o own_o without_o the_o help_n and_o assistance_n of_o foreign_a ally_n while_o his_o friend_n at_o home_n be_v oppress_v while_o the_o same_o power_n that_o drive_v he_o out_o be_v still_o in_o the_o hand_n of_o his_o enemy_n while_o so_o many_o person_n who_o be_v in_o great_a power_n be_v concern_v for_o their_o own_o preservation_n to_o keep_v he_o out_o while_o those_o who_o wish_v his_o return_n dare_v not_o whisper_v any_o thing_n tend_v to_o call_v the_o king_n back_o again_o i_o say_v to_o see_v a_o prince_n in_o such_o circumstance_n without_o strike_v a_o blow_n without_o shed_v a_o drop_n of_o blood_n return_v again_o in_o the_o throng_n and_o crowd_n and_o with_o the_o acclamation_n of_o his_o subject_n be_v no_o less_o a_o miracle_n than_o divide_v the_o sea_n to_o give_v a_o safe_a passage_n to_o the_o israelite_n for_o the_o psalmist_n represent_v it_o as_o a_o argument_n of_o equal_a

when_o no_o frown_n be_v to_o be_v see_v on_o man_n forehead_n but_o such_o cheerful_a look_n as_o signify_v the_o inward_a pleasure_n and_o serenity_n of_o their_o mind_n yet_o it_o can_v not_o be_v

not_o take_v notice_n of_o those_o several_a weak_a attempt_n they_o have_v make_v since_o the_o happy_a restauration_n of_o our_o prince_n there_o be_v something_o great_a to_o employ_v our_o
