for saving a people so ill deserving we must add to our verbal our vital Prayers nor only keep an annual Day but even an age of thanksgiving for our Deliverance And then with a greater force of Reason we must beware that we forget not the Lord our God who if he brought us not out of the land of Egypt did yet deliver us this day from the house of Bondage We must not any of us forget him in whatever represents or presents him to us But You especially must not forget him presented to you in his Vicegerent whom the more you do enable to be indeed what he is stiled Defensor Fidei by so much the greater will be your Glory and the better you will provide for your childrens safety The more you strengthen that Hand which under God is to brandish the Sword of Iustice which ceaseth to be a Sword of Iustice when wrested out of that Hand by the Hand of man the better protected your Peace will be from the ungainable enemies of each extream nor can you rationally hope to keep your Peace any longer then whilest the evil-ey'd Factions want power to break it Again beware that you forget not the Soveraign Author of your Deliverance wheresoever you shall find him presented to you in his Messengers and what I mean by that word I need not explain in so wise an Audience by whose continuing unrestor'd to their Ancient Priviledge and Right your own Restauration remains imperfect Again beware you do not forget him presented to you in his Members who are not only your fellow-members but were your old fellow sufferers in the very same Cause to which they ever have adhered with the very same constancy and for which they have been Actors with the very same courage and do rejoyce in the greatness at least of your Restauration how much soever they are mourners for the scandalous littleness of their own Prosperity I have shew'd is a dangerous weapon such as none but the merciful should dare to use And if ever there were a Parliament in which both Mercy and Iustice met this has the honour to be reputed so very exemplary for both that they who stand in need of both are very confident to obtain them now or never A Parliament so prepar'd by the special Providence of God for the perpetuating of Peace in our British world that nothing less then the presence of all perfections in a Prince can make us patiently think of its Dissolution Will you hear the Conclusion of the whole matter I shall deliver it to you briefly in this Petition That so far forth as you regard the Righteous Judge of all the world and are season'd by Him with the manifold gifts of the blessed Comforter with the Spirit of wisdome and understanding with the Spirit of counsel and ghostly strength with the Spirit of knowledge and true godliness and lastly with the Spirit of his holy fear you will consider what I have said by your own Authority because in absolute obedience to your own Order and Command ANd now the God of Peace and Power who brought you forth on this Day from the House of Bondage both defend and direct you from this day forward in all your wayes That every one of your Persons and the whole of every one both Body Soul and Spirit may be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Iesus Christ. To whom with the Father in the unity of the Spirit who is abundantly able to keep us from falling and to raise us when we are down and to preserve us being raised and to present us so preserv'd before the presence of his Glory with exceeding Joy to the only wise God our Saviour be ascribed by us and by all the world Blessing and Glory and Honour and Power and Wisdome and Thanksgiving from this day forwards and for evermore Amen FINIS Psal. 126. 4.
