object_v against_o the_o general_a extent_n of_o this_o contribution_n that_o the_o church_n of_o st._n paul_n belong_v only_a to_o the_o city_n and_o diocese_n of_o london_n aught_o to_o be_v rebuilt_a sole_o at_o their_o charge_n without_o have_v recourse_n to_o so_o extraordinary_a a_o way_n of_o supply_n from_o other_o who_o be_v no_o way_n concern_v in_o it_o in_o answer_n to_o this_o objection_n be_v please_v to_o consider_v 1._o that_o the_o inhabitant_n of_o london_n be_v not_o only_o exceed_v great_a sufferer_n by_o the_o late_a dreadful_a fire_n but_o have_v since_o be_v at_o a_o vast_a and_o incredible_a charge_n in_o rebuilding_n of_o their_o own_o house_n and_o parish-church_n their_o hospital_n hall_n and_o royal_a exchange_n and_o in_o several_a other_o public_a work_n to_o the_o great_a honour_n and_o advantage_n of_o the_o city_n and_o to_o the_o wonder_n and_o astonishment_n of_o the_o world_n that_o in_o so_o short_a a_o space_n so_o great_a a_o city_n shall_v rise_v so_o beautiful_a and_o glorious_a out_o of_o such_o vast_a and_o dismal_a ruin_n 2._o that_o the_o city_n of_o london_n and_o counties_n adjoin_v have_v do_v for_o several_a year_n and_o still_o do_v towards_o this_o work_n pay_v a_o particular_a tax_n upon_o all_o the_o coal_n bring_v into_o the_o port_n of_o london_n beside_o which_o it_o be_v not_o doubt_v but_o they_o will_v be_v very_o exemplary_a in_o their_o voluntary_a contribution_n thereto_o 3._o that_o the_o city_n of_o london_n have_v ever_o be_v find_v very_o charitable_a and_o bountiful_a upon_o all_o occasion_n towards_o the_o rebuild_n of_o church_n and_o town_n in_o the_o country_n and_o the_o repair_n of_o the_o fortune_n of_o particular_a person_n that_o have_v be_v ruin_v by_o the_o like_a calamity_n of_o fire_n for_o which_o cause_n they_o hope_v it_o will_v not_o be_v think_v unreasonable_a in_o they_o for_o once_o to_o crave_v and_o expect_v the_o assistance_n of_o the_o country_n upon_o so_o press_v and_o extraordinary_a a_o occasion_n when_o they_o be_v utter_o unable_a alone_o to_o support_v the_o burden_n and_o to_o defray_v the_o mighty_a charge_n of_o so_o great_a a_o work_n 4._o that_o the_o rebuilding_n of_o this_o church_n be_v of_o very_o public_a concernment_n and_o the_o whole_a nation_n in_o some_o sort_n interest_v in_o it_o our_o king_n have_v use_v upon_o extraordinary_a occasion_n to_o resort_v to_o it_o there_o to_o pay_v their_o solemn_a acknowledgement_n to_o almighty_a god_n for_o public_a blessing_n and_o deliverance_n grant_v to_o this_o nation_n and_o the_o preacher_n there_o have_v always_o be_v particular_o appoint_v and_o choose_v from_o both_o the_o university_n of_o this_o realm_n and_o from_o all_o part_n of_o the_o kingdom_n and_o the_o glory_n of_o the_o work_n will_v also_o redound_v to_o the_o whole_a nation_n to_o which_o it_o will_v not_o only_o be_v a_o singular_a ornament_n but_o likewise_o a_o stand_a monument_n of_o the_o public_a affection_n and_o zeal_n of_o this_o protestant_a kingdom_n to_o piety_n and_o good_a work_n which_o last_o consideration_n ought_v to_o have_v the_o great_a force_n with_o we_o because_o at_o this_o time_n as_o much_o as_o ever_o the_o protestant_a religion_n stand_v upon_o its_o reputation_n and_o stand_v in_o need_n of_o it_o too_o and_o therefore_o every_o one_o ought_v with_o more_o than_o ordinary_a zeal_n to_o be_v concern_v for_o the_o carry_v on_o of_o this_o work_n not_o only_o for_o the_o honour_n of_o our_o nation_n and_o the_o credit_n of_o our_o common_a christianity_n but_o also_o of_o our_o reform_a religion_n that_o there_o may_v be_v no_o pretence_n to_o upbraid_v we_o that_o error_n and_o superstition_n can_v make_v man_n more_o zealous_a of_o good_a work_n than_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o true_a religion_n and_o that_o our_o adversary_n of_o rome_n may_v be_v convince_v that_o our_o piety_n be_v as_o generous_a and_o charitable_a as_o they_o but_o will_v not_o be_v so_o arrogant_a and_o presumptuous_a and_o that_o whilst_o we_o disclaim_v the_o merit_n yet_o we_o do_v most_o steadfast_o believe_v the_o obligation_n and_o
