of_o our_o religion_n it_o be_v a_o age_n this_o which_o have_v impudence_n and_o profaneness_n enough_o in_o store_n to_o explode_v and_o ridicule_n upon_o all_o occasion_n the_o true_a and_o orthodox_n notion_n of_o a_o superintend_a providence_n as_o if_o the_o god_n that_o make_v the_o world_n have_v nothing_o at_o all_o to_o do_v in_o the_o appointment_n and_o administration_n of_o the_o great_a affair_n in_o it_o or_o as_o if_o he_o who_o create_v man_n at_o first_o be_v no_o way_n concern_v either_o to_o govern_v we_o by_o his_o own_o eternal_a decree_n of_o providence_n or_o to_o see_v we_o govern_v by_o fit_a and_o proper_a substitute_n of_o his_o own_o designation_n but_o i_o be_o apt_a to_o think_v that_o the_o succession_n of_o such_o mercy_n as_o have_v befall_v these_o kingdom_n especial_o the_o happy_a circumstance_n of_o our_o present_a establishment_n be_v so_o many_o stand_n and_o convince_a evidence_n of_o such_o a_o providence_n which_o i_o have_v be_v

as_o i_o can_v convenient_o use_v on_o this_o grand_a occasion_n give_v i_o leave_v to_o observe_v that_o though_o god_n mercy_n to_o these_o kingdom_n have_v happen_v to_o be_v liable_a to_o several_a abuse_n as_o all_o blessing_n be_v when_o bestow_v on_o any_o person_n or_o person_n who_o afterward_o prove_v ungrateful_a and_o though_o they_o have_v be_v pervert_v perhaps_o to_o many_o

ought_v not_o in_o reason_n to_o abate_v the_o first_o obligation_n of_o our_o gratitude_n nor_o in_o the_o least_o measure_n to_o impair_v that_o natural_a notion_n or_o grateful_a sense_n of_o god_n

altogether_o for_o particular_a day_n and_o periodical_a return_n for_o person_n and_o name_n or_o for_o mere_a form_n nor_o for_o the_o sake_n of_o any_o politic_a and_o state-compliance_n only_o but_o rather_o for_o a_o constant_a and_o religious_a sense_n of_o our_o thankfulness_n to_o god_n upon_o the_o account_n of_o his_o public_a benefit_n and_o national_a mercy_n as_o likewise_o for_o a_o substantial_a and_o devout_a expression_n of_o our_o joy_n upon_o all_o solemn_a occasion_n to_o he_o for_o the_o same_o i_o need_v not_o press_v home_o any_o argument_n for_o the_o particular_a
