domestical_a or_o national_a now_o god_n providence_n be_v holy_a and_o just_a in_o all_o these_o but_o sometime_o the_o instrument_n be_v very_o wicked_a thus_o proud_a and_o cruel_a man_n who_o break_v in_o piece_n god_n people_n and_o afflict_v his_o heritage_n as_o the_o psalmist_n speak_v though_o they_o be_v god_n rod_n or_o instrument_n by_o who_o the_o lord_n chastise_v his_o servant_n which_o in_o god_n be_v most_o lawful_a and_o just_a i_o say_v ungodly_a man_n be_v guilty_a of_o the_o evil_a of_o sin_n because_o they_o propound_v to_o themselves_o the_o satisfaction_n of_o their_o own_o malicious_a and_o spiteful_a affection_n but_o whoever_o be_v the_o instrument_n of_o god_n providence_n in_o blessing_n mercy_n deliverance_n in_o such_o act_n do_v well_o and_o deserve_v praise_n of_o all_o that_o be_v not_o ungrateful_a thus_o the_o late_a revolution_n be_v god_n just_a judgement_n and_o punishment_n on_o the_o papist_n and_o all_o oppressor_n that_o join_v with_o they_o but_o it_o be_v a_o exceed_o great_a mercy_n blessing_n and_o deliverance_n to_o the_o protestant_a church_n and_o all_o god_n faithful_a servant_n but_o i_o spare_v the_o dr_n

also_o as_o the_o dr._n say_v that_o god_n not_o only_o permit_v but_o he_o do_v these_o thing_n he_o permit_v man_n to_o do_v wicked_o but_o god_n be_v the_o author_n of_o all_o the_o good_a and_o evil_a which_o happen_v to_o private_a person_n or_o public_a society_n sure_o no_o christian_a doubt_n of_o this_o but_o then_o we_o distinguish_v which_o the_o dr._n do_v not_o and_o say_v 1._o evil_n be_v from_o god_n who_o punish_v correct_v or_o chastise_v his_o church_n 2._o good_a be_v from_o god_n who_o defend_v deliver_v bless_v or_o save_v his_o church_n and_o this_o be_v do_v ordinary_o by_o the_o free_a ministry_n of_o man_n and_o the_o question_n between_o we_o be_v of_o these_o instrument_n whether_o they_o be_v evil_a or_o good_a or_o whether_o they_o have_v do_v evil_a or_o good_a deserve_v well_o or_o ill_o of_o the_o church_n and_o commonwealth_n thus_o to_o illustrate_v my_o meaning_n i_o say_v that_o o._n c._n and_o his_o confederate_n be_v usurper_n traitor_n and_o murderer_n and_o though_o they_o have_v power_n or_o strength_n yet_o they_o have_v not_o power_n or_o authority_n from_o god_n but_o king_n william_n and_o his_o confederate_n have_v not_o only_a strength_n or_o power_n but_o also_o have_v power_n or_o authority_n from_o god_n to_o save_v this_o church_n and_o kingdom_n when_o we_o be_v so_o near_o sink_v under_o popery_n and_o slavery_n and_o this_o i_o think_v be_v deducible_a from_o what_o the_o dr._n sometime_o grant_v as_o when_o he_o say_v p._n 28._o the_o law_n of_o god_n and_o nature_n must_v take_v place_n of_o all_o humane_a positive_a law_n and_o oath_n and_o when_o he_o say_v p._n 33._o though_o i_o have_v as_o great_a a_o reverence_n for_o prince_n as_o any_o man_n i_o do_v not_o think_v the_o right_n and_o interest_n of_o prince_n so_o considerable_a as_o the_o safety_n and_o preservation_n of_o a_o nation_n and_o the_o life_n and_o fortune_n of_o all_o his_o subject_n from_o whence_o i_o infer_v that_o no_o positive_a law_n oath_n or_o prince_n in_o case_n of_o such_o oppression_n as_o we_o groan_v under_o aught_o to_o stand_v in_o competition_n with_o the_o preservation_n of_o our_o

if_o this_o be_v not_o sound_a divinity_n i_o desire_v that_o the_o dr._n will_v be_v please_v to_o bestow_v some_o of_o his_o charity_n upon_o i_o and_o write_v another_o book_n to_o convince_v

that_o he_o can_v teach_v i_o many_o thing_n nor_o have_v i_o the_o opportunity_n of_o such_o library_n and_o conversation_n of_o most_o judicious_a man_n yet_o i_o have_v study_v this_o controversy_n and_o i_o never_o act_v in_o any_o affair_n with_o a_o more_o full_a and_o clear_a approbation_n of_o my_o own_o conscience_n than_o in_o this_o revolution_n or_o to_o use_v the_o dr_n word_n in_o the_o begin_n of_o his_o preface_n this_o i_o be_o sure_a of_o that_o i_o never_o act_v with_o more_o sincerity_n in_o any_o affair_n of_o my_o whole_a life_n than_o i_o have_v do_v in_o this_o
