government_n from_o the_o begin_n to_o the_o end_n this_o must_v needs_o be_v so_o if_o we_o be_v govern_v by_o infinite_a wisdom_n second_o it_o follow_v from_o hence_o that_o both_o good_a and_o

be_v in_o some_o case_n more_o expedient_a for_o the_o bring_v people_n to_o right_n and_o promote_a their_o true_a interest_n than_o the_o give_v they_o all_o that_o their_o own_o heart_n can_v wish_v in_o such_o case_n therefore_o god_n must_v deal_v with_o his_o creature_n as_o every_o wise_a parent_n deal_v with_o his_o child_n and_o though_o these_o chastisement_n as_o the_o apostle_n

four_o and_o last_o from_o hence_o it_o follow_v that_o all_o event_n whatsoever_o that_o ever_o do_v or_o do_v or_o shall_v happen_v in_o the_o world_n either_o with_o respect_n to_o nation_n and_o

world_n not_o but_o that_o a_o particular_a man_n sin_n may_v be_v the_o occasion_n of_o his_o ruin_n nay_o and_o certain_o will_v be_v so_o if_o he_o persist_v in_o they_o and_o likewise_o the_o

have_v or_o shall_v come_v to_o pass_v all_o the_o world_n over_o we_o may_v undoubted_o affirm_v that_o all_o thing_n have_v be_v as_o well_o manage_v as_o it_o be_v possible_a they_o can_v be_v and_o will_v be_v so_o to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n and_o this_o we_o ourselves_o shall_v be_v satisfy_v of_o when_o we_o come_v to_o be_v in_o a_o condition_n of_o make_v a_o just_a estimate_n of_o thing_n for_o indeed_o to_o suppose_v otherwise_o be_v to_o say_v either_o that_o infinite_a wisdom_n do_v not_o act_v so_o wise_o as_o it_o may_v do_v or_o that_o perfect_a goodness_n may_v do_v more_o good_a than_o it_o do_v do_v or_o last_o that_o omnipotent_a power_n can_v do_v every_o thing_n that_o be_v possible_a all_o which_o supposition_n be_v plain_o absurd_a and_o contradictious_a and_o now_o if_o all_o these_o thing_n be_v true_a as_o they_o certain_o be_v how_o natural_a be_v the_o conclusion_n of_o my_o text_n since_o god_n be_v the_o king_n of_o all_o the_o world_n and_o such_o a_o king_n likewise_o that_o the_o measure_n of_o his_o government_n be_v exact_a goodness_n and_o wisdom_n and_o righteousness_n what_o have_v all_o mankind_n to_o do_v especial_o good_a man_n

for_o his_o future_a blessing_n give_v i_o leave_v to_o speak_v a_o little_a to_o these_o two_o point_n and_o i_o have_v do_v first_o let_v we_o be_v hearty_o sensible_a of_o all_o god_n kindness_n to_o we_o both_o past_a and_o present_a and_o unfeigned_o thank_v he_o for_o the_o same_o it_o be_v very_o remarkable_a that_o not_o only_a david_n but_o the_o prophet_n likewise_o when_o they_o be_v

be_v no_o concussion_n of_o the_o nation_n follow_v thereupon_o be_v not_o these_o extraordinary_a instance_n of_o god_n kindness_n to_o a_o people_n and_o ought_v not_o we_o who_o have_v receive_v

and_o i_o pray_v god_n make_v we_o all_o sensible_a of_o it_o and_o especial_o make_v we_o sensible_a of_o the_o thing_n that_o have_v cause_v it_o namely_o our_o ingratitude_n for_o god_n former_a mercy_n our_o lewdness_n and_o debauchery_n the_o spirit_n of_o atheism_n and_o profaneness_n and_o irreligion_n that_o still_o reign_v among_o we_o as_o much_o as_o ever_o and_o above_o all_o our_o

these_o be_v the_o thing_n that_o have_v hinder_v our_o success_n and_o provoke_v god_n displeasure_n against_o we_o and_o till_o these_o thing_n be_v amend_v i_o be_o afraid_a we_o shall_v never_o be_v a_o happy_a nation_n but_o yet_o notwithstanding_o our_o high_a provocation_n yet_o so_o gentle_o have_v god_n correct_v we_o and_o even_o in_o his_o judgement_n so_o much_o have_v he_o remember_v mercy_n that_o we_o have_v all_o reason_n to_o rejoice_v at_o the_o benignity_n and_o kindness_n of_o his_o dispensation_n towards_o we_o nay_o and_o to_o render_v he_o our_o most_o hearty_a and_o solemn_a thanks_o for_o the_o mercy_n that_o he_o have_v bestow_v upon_o we_o even_o with_o respect_n to_o the_o matter_n we_o complain_v of_o for_o god_n have_v real_o so_o far_o

from_o we_o and_o we_o have_v under_o the_o happy_a government_n of_o her_o majesty_n live_v free_a from_o all_o disturbance_n at_o home_n every_o man_n sit_v under_o his_o own_o vine_n and_o his_o

thus_o much_o i_o may_v decent_o and_o true_o say_v that_o though_o the_o king_n have_v not_o the_o victory_n be_v overpower_a by_o number_n yet_o he_o gain_v more_o honour_n and_o sustain_v less_o loss_n than_o those_o that_o boast_v of_o the_o victory_n and_o which_o be_v yet_o more_o god_n have_v not_o only_o preserve_v his_o person_n amid_o the_o infinite_a hazard_n he_o be_v continual_o expose_v to_o and_o return_v he_o safe_a to_o we_o but_o return_v he_o likewise_o with_o such_o reputation_n for_o his_o courage_n and_o vigilance_n and_o conduct_v in_o the_o difficulty_n he_o have_v to_o struggle_v with_o as_o have_v gain_v he_o the_o high_a esteem_n among_o his_o enemy_n and_o therefore_o ought_v much_o more_o to_o endear_v he_o to_o his_o own_o subject_n and_o now_o let_v all_o this_o be_v consider_v and_o then_o let_v any_o man_n say_v that_o real_o love_v the_o interest_n of_o his_o country_n whether_o we_o have_v not_o reason_n to_o look_v upon_o these_o thing_n as_o great_a blessing_n and_o as_o such_o to_o return_v our_o solemn_a thanks_o to_o god_n for_o they_o and_o then_o in_o the_o second_o place_n as_o to_o our_o future_a success_n let_v we_o all_o cheerful_o depend_v upon_o god_n providence_n and_o trust_v in_o his_o mercy_n for_o they_o this_o be_v all_o the_o rejoice_v that_o we_o can_v express_v as_o to_o future_a thing_n and_o this_o be_v that_o which_o the_o apostle_n call_v rejoice_v in_o hope_n and_o sure_o great_a reason_n have_v we_o thus_o to_o do_v when_o we_o consider_v who_o it_o be_v that_o order_n our_o affair_n one_o who_o kindness_n we_o have_v no_o reason_n to_o doubt_v of_o have_v have_v so_o many_o experience_n of_o it_o even_o beyond_o our_o hope_n and_o expectation_n and_o one_o likewise_o upon_o who_o power_n
