of_o the_o favour_n of_o their_o god_n they_o may_v raise_v their_o spirit_n and_o give_v they_o courage_n in_o the_o day_n of_o battle_n and_o next_o under_o divine_a providence_n we_o may_v ascribe_v the_o greatness_n of_o the_o roman_a empire_n to_o those_o encouragement_n which_o they_o fetch_v from_o religion_n and_o the_o belief_n of_o their_o go_n agreeable_o to_o which_o matchiavel_n himself_o though_o he_o be_v no_o great_a friend_n to_o religion_n yet_o in_o his_o discourse_n upon_o this_o subject_n he_o fair_o own_v that_o the_o advance_v of_o their_o arm_n and_o enlargement_n of_o their_o state_n be_v chief_o to_o be_v impute_v to_o a_o sense_n of_o god_n and_o religion_n establish_v among_o they_o such_o a_o vast_a influence_n have_v our_o faith_n and_o belief_n upon_o the_o council_n and_o endeavour_n of_o mankind_n and_o not_o to_o multiply_v testimony_n but_o to_o reduce_v all_o in_o short_a in_o the_o natural_a course_n of_o thing_n it_o be_v plain_a that_o a_o man_n belief_n in_o all_o case_n do_v carry_v a_o mighty_a stroke_n in_o advance_v his_o undertake_n and_o particular_o this_o persuasion_n of_o invincible_a succour_n and_o assistance_n from_o above_o must_v necessary_o inspire_v he_o with_o a_o answerable_a degree_n of_o courage_n it_o must_v raise_v his_o hope_n give_v life_n to_o his_o resolution_n animate_v his_o endeavour_n and_o this_o will_v go_v a_o fair_a way_n to_o the_o take_n of_o city_n and_o subdue_a kingdom_n and_o as_o this_o faith_n and_o belief_n of_o god_n providence_n have_v a_o peculiar_a efficacy_n of_o itself_o to_o advance_v our_o arm_n so_o by_o the_o providence_n of_o god_n it_o be_v usual_o attend_v with_o a_o suitable_a success_n that_o god_n almighty_n do_v interpose_v in_o our_o battle_n and_o engagement_n be_v as_o certain_a as_o that_o he_o do_v exercise_v a_o providence_n over_o mankind_n for_o the_o success_n of_o arm_n and_o of_o national_a engagement_n be_v such_o a_o considerable_a province_n and_o so_o great_a a_o part_n of_o his_o government_n of_o the_o world_n that_o we_o may_v as_o well_o question_n whether_o he_o intermeddle_v at_o all_o in_o humane_a

to_o suppose_v that_o he_o will_v bless_v those_o arm_n with_o victory_n and_o success_n that_o be_v advance_v in_o his_o name_n with_o a_o due_a regard_n and_o application_n to_o he_o and_o determine_v thing_n in_o favour_n of_o that_o side_n who_o build_v their_o faith_n and_o reliance_n on_o he_o for_o by_o believe_v and_o trust_v in_o he_o we_o real_o engage_v he_o as_o a_o party_n for_o we_o and_o by_o be_v his_o dependent_n we_o entitle_v ourselves_o to_o his_o more_o special_a care_n and_o protection_n every_o one_o we_o know_v do_v think_v himself_o oblige_v to_o show_v a_o

goodness_n of_o god_n which_o be_v infinite_o great_a than_o that_o of_o his_o creature_n agreeable_a to_o which_o we_o have_v his_o own_o assurance_n 29.25_o prov._n 29.25_o who_o so_o put_v his_o

trust_v do_v fair_o forfeit_v all_o title_n to_o his_o providence_n and_o protection_n for_o it_o be_v but_o just_a with_o god_n that_o he_o shall_v signalise_v himself_o in_o the_o defeat_n of_o those_o arm_n that_o be_v bruitish_o advance_v without_o any_o sense_n or_o dependence_n on_o he_o and_o this_o be_v the_o usual_a method_n of_o his_o deal_n with_o the_o jew_n when_o they_o trust_v in_o god_n and_o in_o the_o strength_n of_o israel_n he_o go_v out_o with_o their_o host_n he_o fight_v their_o battle_n and_o subdue_v the_o nation_n round_o about_o they_o but_o as_o soon_o as_o they_o fall_v back_o and_o shake_v off_o their_o dependence_n on_o he_o he_o give_v they_o into_o captivity_n and_o into_o the_o enemy_n hand_n it_o be_v true_a god_n do_v not_o exercise_v the_o same_o visible_a distinguish_a providence_n in_o reward_v man_n faith_n with_o temporal_a blessing_n as_o in_o the_o day_n of_o old_a but_o yet_o as_o he_o be_v still_o governor_n of_o the_o world_n he_o seem_v engage_v to_o crown_v the_o faith_n and_o piety_n of_o nation_n with_o visible_a success_n that_o by_o this_o mean_v he_o may_v signalise_v his_o providence_n to_o the_o world_n and_o keep_v up_o a_o just_a sense_n and_o esteem_v for_o religion_n by_o give_v such_o a_o open_a testimony_n and_o approbation_n to_o it_o as_o for_o the_o virtue_n of_o private_a man_n indeed_o they_o be_v not_o always_o blessed_v here_o with_o good_a fortune_n and_o success_n because_o in_o their_o single_a capacity_n they_o shall_v be_v sufficient_o reward_v in_o another_o world_n but_o fince_n public_a society_n and_o nation_n as_o they_o be_v politic_a collective_a body_n have_v no_o other_o stage_n but_o this_o world_n for_o the_o reward_n and_o punishment_n of_o their_o common_a virtue_n and_o vice_n therefore_o providence_n seem_v more_o high_o concern_v to_o dispense_v and_o award_v they_o in_o this_o present_a life_n and_o this_o have_v be_v the_o general_a observation_n of_o the_o heathen_a state_n that_o their_o god_n bestow_v victory_n and_o triumph_n upon_o kingdom_n according_a to_o man_n piety_n and_o dependence_n on_o they_o hence_o tully_n make_v a_o fair_a acknowledgement_n that_o the_o roman_n do_v not_o owe_v their_o conquest_n either_o to_o a_o prevail_a strength_n or_o to_o their_o own_o extraordinary_a valour_n art_n or_o stratagem_n but_o that_o they_o subdue_v the_o whole_a world_n by_o the_o irresistible_a power_n of_o religion_n and_o zosimus_n ascribe_v the_o fall_n of_o that_o empire_n to_o the_o contempt_n of_o their_o god_n and_o a_o disregard_n to_o their_o worship_n and_o if_o these_o be_v the_o usual_a method_n of_o providence_n in_o reward_v the_o faith_n and_o piety_n of_o nation_n it_o be_v obvious_a to_o conclude_v what_o a_o mighty_a influence_n our_o religious_a belief_n may_v carry_v in_o subdue_a kingdom_n and_o therefore_o if_o we_o will_v all_o joint_o agree_v in_o advance_v our_o faith_n and_o religion_n together_o with_o our_o arm_n we_o shall_v have_v but_o little_a reason_n to_o doubt_v of_o the_o happy_a issue_n and_o success_n of_o they_o and_o what_o ground_n and_o encouragement_n we_o have_v to_o hope_v for_o this_o success_n be_v the_o second_o general_a head_n to_o be_v consider_v and_o here_o whether_o we_o regard_v either_o the_o promise_n of_o god_n to_o his_o church_n or_o the_o conduct_n and_o bravery_n of_o our_o general_n whether_o we_o consider_v the_o cause_n in_o which_o we_o embark_v or_o the_o enemy_n which_o we_o be_v about_o to_o encounter_v they_o all_o speak_v out_o be_v strong_a and_o of_o a_o good_a courage_n you_o shall_v possess_v the_o land_n as_o to_o the_o former_a what_o ground_n we_o have_v to_o hope_v from_o god_n promise_n it_o must_v be_v grant_v that_o we_o have_v no_o particular_a promise_n make_v to_o we_o that_o we_o shall_v subdue_v this_o or_o that_o nation_n as_o the_o worthy_n of_o this_o chapter_n have_v but_o since_o it_o must_v be_v allow_v that_o god_n almighty_n do_v exercise_n as_o great_a a_o care_n over_o the_o christian_n as_o over_o the_o jewish_a church_n we_o can_v well_o suppose_v that_o he_o have_v leave_v it_o without_o the_o same_o hope_n and_o encouragement_n we_o all_o know_v that_o in_o these_o last_o day_n he_o give_v up_o his_o own_o son_n that_o he_o may_v purchase_v to_o himself_o a_o church_n at_o the_o expense_n of_o his_o own_o blood_n and_o as_o this_o be_v a_o high_a demonstration_n of_o love_n than_o ever_o be_v show_v to_o the_o world_n before_o so_o it_o give_v we_o most_o solid_a and_o rational_a ground_n for_o our_o hope_n and_o confidence_n and_o as_o great_a love_n than_o this_o can_v not_o be_v show_v so_o neither_o any_o great_a security_n than_o those_o general_a promise_n which_o he_o have_v make_v over_o to_o it_o that_o he_o will_v be_v with_o it_o unto_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n 16.18_o mat._n 28.20_o mat._n 16.18_o and_o that_o the_o gate_n of_o hell_n shall_v not_o prevail_v against_o it_o which_o promise_v however_o they_o run_v only_o to_o the_o church_n in_o general_n yet_o they_o be_v no_o less_o sure_a and_o infallible_a
