wherein_o thou_o have_v afflict_v we_o and_o the_o year_n wherein_o we_o have_v see_v evil_a so_o that_o in_o my_o text_n there_o be_v three_o thing_n considerable_a 1._o the_o first_o be_v imply_v that_o sin_n for_o which_o god_n thus_o punish_v they_o for_o that_o it_o be_v for_o their_o sin_n not_o only_o the_o justice_n of_o the_o divine_a providence_n suppose_v when_o the_o calamity_n be_v national_a but_o the_o psalmist_n express_o affirm_v v_o 8._o thou_o have_v set_v our_o iniquity_n before_o thou_o our_o secret_a sin_n in_o the_o light_n of_o thy_o countenance_n which_o intimate_v that_o there_o be_v more_o sin_n than_o one_o and_o some_o of_o they_o very_o secret_a one_o too_o for_o which_o god_n punish_v they_o for_o so_o common_o it_o be_v that_o a_o great_a many_o sin_n such_o as_o we_o have_v forget_v or_o take_v little_a notice_n of_o be_v bring_v to_o account_n when_o some_o one_o great_a provocation_n tempt_v god_n to_o public_a act_n of_o vengeance_n if_o we_o apply_v this_o to_o the_o case_n i_o before_o mention_v than_o it_o be_v very_o evident_a what_o this_o provoke_a sin_n be_v viz._n their_o murmur_a against_o that_o good_a land_n their_o rebel_n against_o god_n and_o moses_n their_o attempt_n to_o make_v they_o a_o captain_n to_o return_v into_o egypt_n and_o to_o stone_n caleb_n and_o joshua_n who_o encourage_v they_o to_o go_v up_o and_o take_v possession_n of_o the_o land_n which_o god_n have_v promise_v to_o their_o father_n num._n 14._o 2._o their_o punishment_n the_o continuance_n and_o severity_n of_o it_o they_o be_v to_o wander_v in_o the_o wilderness_n forty_o year_n and_o to_o die_v there_o without_o enter_v into_o that_o good_a land_n 3._o moses_n prophetic_a prayer_n that_o god_n will_v return_v to_o they_o in_o mercy_n and_o recompense_v these_o suffering_n by_o give_v they_o a_o quiet_a possession_n of_o the_o land_n of_o promise_n make_v we_o glad_a according_a to_o the_o day_n wherein_o thou_o have_v afflict_v we_o and_o the_o year_n wherein_o we_o have_v see_v evil_a our_o case_n which_o be_v the_o occasion_n of_o this_o present_a solemnity_n differ_v somewhat_o from_o this_o in_o every_o particular_a but_o yet_o bear_v such_o a_o analogy_n and_o proportion_n to_o it_o that_o i_o shall_v take_v occasion_n from_o hence_o to_o discourse_v to_o you_o on_o these_o three_o head_n 1._o the_o sin_n which_o we_o this_o day_n lament_n 2._o the_o evil_n and_o calamity_n which_o we_o have_v now_o for_o more_o than_o forty_o year_n in_o some_o degree_n or_o other_o and_o sometime_o very_o severe_o suffer_v under_o as_o the_o natural_a effect_n or_o just_a punishment_n of_o that_o sin_n 3._o what_o a_o happy_a prospect_n we_o have_v of_o a_o end_n of_o all_o these_o evil_n if_o we_o can_v be_v content_v to_o be_v happy_a 1._o as_o for_o the_o first_o the_o sin_n we_o this_o day_n lament_v i_o shall_v make_v no_o scruple_n to_o call_v it_o what_o you_o have_v this_o day_n in_o your_o public_a prayer_n to_o almighty_a god_n confess_v it_o to_o be_v the_o barbarous_a murder_n of_o a_o excellent_a prince_n and_o those_o be_v guilty_a of_o base_a hypocrisy_n and_o put_v a_o great_a contempt_n upon_o god_n who_o join_v in_o the_o devotion_n of_o this_o day_n and_o do_v think_v it_o so_o beside_o our_o implore_v the_o divine_a mercy_n and_o forgiveness_n i_o have_v sometime_o think_v that_o such_o a_o annual_a solemnity_n as_o this_o be_v due_a to_o the_o memory_n of_o our_o murder_a prince_n the_o least_o recompense_n we_o can_v make_v to_o he_o and_o yet_o the_o great_a thing_n we_o can_v now_o do_v for_o he_o to_o celebrate_v his_o funeral_n with_o a_o religious_a pomp_n and_o to_o shed_v penitential_a tear_n upon_o his_o grave_n and_o indeed_o such_o a_o honourable_a presence_n as_o this_o give_v a_o illustrious_a testimony_n to_o he_o and_o vindicate_v his_o memory_n from_o those_o scurrilous_a reflection_n which_o be_v make_v on_o it_o by_o envenom_a pen_n i_o shall_v not_o dispute_v the_o lawfulness_n of_o resist_v the_o king_n authority_n whether_o it_o be_v lawful_a for_o the_o parliament_n to_o take_v arm_n against_o the_o king_n to_o defend_v the_o law_n and_o liberty_n of_o their_o country_n for_o whether_o it_o be_v or_o be_v not_o all_o wise_a and_o good_a man_n must_v abominate_a the_o villainy_n of_o this_o day_n as_o we_o know_v many_o of_o those_o do_v who_o begin_v the_o war_n without_o be_v aware_a what_o the_o end_n of_o it_o will_v be_v for_o suppose_v which_o be_v all_o that_o can_v be_v ask_v in_o this_o case_n that_o in_o a_o limit_a monarchy_n the_o estate_n of_o the_o realm_n have_v authority_n to_o maintain_v the_o law_n and_o liberty_n of_o their_o country_n against_o the_o illegal_a encroachment_n and_o usurpation_n of_o their_o king_n how_o do_v this_o justify_v the_o murder_n of_o king_n charles_n for_o 1._o they_o can_v pretend_v to_o no_o far_a right_n than_o to_o keep_v the_o king_n within_o the_o boundary_n of_o law_n and_o when_o they_o be_v secure_v of_o this_o they_o have_v nothing_o else_o to_o do_v but_o to_o lay_v down_o their_o arm_n and_o return_v to_o their_o duty_n for_o he_o be_v their_o king_n still_o and_o they_o his_o subject_n and_o if_o it_o be_v no_o rebellion_n to_o resist_v his_o illegal_a usurpation_n yet_o it_o must_v be_v rebellion_n to_o oppose_v he_o when_o he_o be_v content_v to_o govern_v by_o the_o measure_n of_o law_n if_o there_o be_v any_o such_o sin_n as_o what_o man_n use_v to_o call_v rebellion_n especial_o when_o the_o subversion_n of_o the_o law_n and_o government_n and_o establish_v religion_n of_o the_o nation_n be_v
