all_o i_o can_v tell_v you_o of_o a_o heathen_a who_o say_v of_o a_o judge_n condemn_v and_o execute_v a_o manslayer_n with_o delight_n become_v himself_o a_o murderer_n and_o be_v formal_o guilty_a of_o the_o crime_n that_o he_o punish_v now_o every_o one_o that_o make_v war_n assume_v the_o person_n of_o a_o judge_n undertake_v by_o force_n to_o do_v himself_o that_o right_n which_o he_o can_v no_o other_o way_n obtain_v wherefore_o he_o ought_v to_o manage_v himself_o not_o with_o rage_n and_o fury_n but_o with_o a_o gravity_n and_o majesty_n suitable_a to_o the_o office_n he_o sustain_v and_o that_o will_v govern_v we_o in_o the_o other_o part_n of_o the_o caution_n which_o i_o interpose_v to_o use_v our_o victory_n merciful_o this_o be_v a_o admonition_n which_o i_o intend_v as_o a_o direction_n of_o good_a omen_n against_o the_o next_o occasion_n for_o if_o all_o the_o evil_n which_o unavoidable_o follow_v war_n be_v not_o otherwise_o justifiable_a then_o as_o they_o be_v necessary_a mean_n to_o attain_v the_o end_n which_o we_o always_o suppose_v lawful_a we_o shall_v ever_o be_v oblige_v to_o do_v no_o more_o mischief_n to_o our_o enemy_n then_o be_v requisite_a for_o the_o obtain_v that_o end_n not_o permit_v any_o provocation_n to_o bring_v revenge_n into_o the_o quarrel_n which_o both_o christianity_n and_o gallant_a heathenism_n abhor_v but_o consider_v always_o rather_o what_o be_v fit_a for_o we_o to_o do_v than_o what_o our_o enemy_n have_v deserve_v to_o suffer_v for_o if_o the_o war_n be_v just_a and_o the_o victory_n cruel_a we_o grow_v less_o by_o our_o advantage_n gain_v a_o conquest_n like_o valiant_a man_n and_o use_v it_o like_o coward_n wherefore_o i_o rejoice_v with_o all_o my_o heart_n that_o see_v god_n give_v we_o a_o victory_n with_o the_o expense_n of_o so_o little_a english_a blood_n our_o commander_n be_v so_o generous_a as_o to_o shed_v no_o more_o dutch_a blood_n then_o they_o must_v needs_o conquer_a their_o enemy_n twice_o first_o by_o force_n then_o by_o mercy_n this_o be_v to_o remember_v who_o brother_n their_o admiral_n be_v and_o who_o servant_n they_o be_v nay_o this_o be_v even_o in_o hot_a blood_n to_o remember_v themselves_o to_o be_v christian_n to_o be_v merciful_a as_o their_o heavenly_a father_n be_v who_o though_o he_o often_o chastise_v sinner_n very_o severe_o yet_o he_o call_v that_o his_o strange_a work_n profess_v to_o go_v about_o it_o unwilling_o and_o by_o constraint_n and_o always_o inflict_v less_o than_o have_v be_v deserve_v more_o than_o this_o i_o can_v not_o have_v wish_v either_o to_o the_o victor_n or_o the_o victory_n and_o yet_o there_o be_v something_o behind_o which_o do_v adorn_v and_o crown_n both_o we_o and_o the_o blessing_n we_o rejoice_v for_o that_o god_n be_v the_o author_n of_o all_o he_o have_v deliver_v etc._n etc._n the_o second_o part_n of_o the_o acknowledgement_n i_o hope_v no_o body_n will_v think_v it_o a_o diminution_n to_o the_o courage_n or_o conduct_n which_o have_v so_o eminent_o appear_v in_o this_o action_n that_o i_o ascribe_v the_o success_n to_o god_n for_o what_o can_v so_o much_o dignify_v any_o mortal_a man_n as_o to_o be_v a_o instrument_n in_o god_n hand_n one_o who_o he_o choose_v to_o bring_v about_o great_a and_o glorious_a thing_n by_o through_o who_o virtue_n and_o wisdom_n he_o delight_v to_o convey_v blessing_n and_o deliverance_n to_o a_o kingdom_n much_o less_o do_v i_o conceive_v it_o needful_a in_o this_o auditory_a to_o handle_v the_o point_n by_o way_n of_o thesis_n and_o prove_v god_n to_o be_v the_o governor_n of_o heaven_n and_o earth_n and_o therefore_o the_o giver_n of_o all_o victory_n if_o any_o who_o question_n this_o be_v crowd_v into_o the_o chapel_n i_o must_v resolute_o profess_v not_o
