these_o few_o year_n scare_v with_o the_o fear_n of_o arbitrary_a and_o lawless_a power_n to_o be_v watchful_a over_o ourselves_o lest_o we_o shall_v throw_v off_o that_o reverence_n which_o be_v just_o due_a to_o government_n obedience_n and_o submission_n to_o authority_n i_o mean_v always_o that_o which_o be_v legal_o so_o according_a to_o the_o particular_a constitution_n of_o each_o country_n be_v a_o indispensable_a duty_n both_o according_a to_o reason_n and_o scripture_n and_o there_o be_v no_o less_o danger_n to_o the_o public_a nay_o in_o so_o well-tempered_a a_o constitution_n as_o we_o i_o doubt_v the_o danger_n be_v ordinary_o great_a from_o the_o undutifulness_n of_o subject_n than_o from_o the_o arbitrariness_n of_o governor_n a_o legal_a government_n such_o as_o we_o be_v be_v the_o just_a middle_a between_o the_o two_o extreme_n and_o we_o ought_v both_o from_o reason_n and_o from_o the_o experience_n we_o have_v have_v in_o this_o nation_n to_o beware_v of_o both_o alike_o but_o this_o i_o speak_v by_o way_n of_o caution_n only_o hope_v and_o believe_v better_a thing_n not_o only_o of_o those_o that_o now_o hear_v i_o but_o of_o the_o body_n of_o our_o nation_n in_o general_n who_o have_v notwithstanding_o the_o late_a press_a difficulty_n we_o have_v be_v under_o and_o those_o especial_o upon_o the_o more_o ordinary_a sort_n of_o people_n among_o we_o maintain_v a_o steady_a loyalty_n to_o our_o governor_n and_o to_o the_o great_a regret_n of_o our_o enemy_n show_v that_o we_o be_v not_o so_o giddy_a and_o unconstant_a as_o they_o will_v either_o represent_v we_o or_o persuade_v we_o to_o be_v 2._o as_o we_o give_v thanks_o to_o god_n for_o the_o preservation_n of_o our_o religion_n let_v we_o likewise_o express_v our_o just_a value_n for_o so_o inestimable_a a_o blessing_n by_o suffer_v it_o to_o have_v its_o due_a effect_n upon_o our_o temper_n and_o our_o life_n the_o only_a reason_n why_o the_o reform_a religion_n be_v so_o much_o to_o be_v prefer_v before_o the_o romish_a be_v because_o it_o tend_v to_o make_v we_o better_a men._n and_o it_o have_v be_v much_o better_a for_o we_o to_o have_v be_v breed_v in_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n or_o to_o have_v have_v the_o ignorance_n and_o error_n of_o popery_n introduce_v again_o among_o we_o unless_o we_o improve_v the_o advantage_n we_o have_v by_o the_o reformation_n to_o the_o reform_v our_o manner_n it_o will_v then_o have_v be_v some_o excuse_n to_o we_o that_o we_o have_v know_v no_o better_o whereas_o now_o be_v plain_o instruct_v in_o our_o duty_n it_o will_v be_v a_o high_a aggravation_n of_o our_o gild_n if_o we_o refuse_v to_o comply_v with_o it_o the_o design_n of_o all_o true_a religion_n be_v to_o render_v we_o sober_a and_o chaste_a modest_a and_o humble_a just_a and_o charitable_a pious_a and_o devout_a more_o like_a to_o god_n and_o more_o like_a god_n one_o to_o another_o and_o here_o again_o i_o can_v forbear_v recommend_v concord_n and_o unanimity_n which_o be_v altogether_o as_o useful_a and_o necessary_a with_o respect_n to_o our_o religious_a as_o to_o our_o civil_a interest_n it_o be_v a_o melancholy_a consideration_n that_o since_o the_o first_o reformation_n of_o our_o church_n we_o be_v crumble_v into_o so_o many_o party_n and_o division_n the_o establish_v church_n be_v the_o very_a same_o that_o it_o be_v in_o the_o glorious_a reign_n of_o queen_n elizabeth_n which_o we_o so_o frequent_o and_o so_o just_o admire_v and_o magnify_v and_o the_o term_n of_o communion_n be_v the_o very_a same_o now_o that_o they_o be_v then_o if_o we_o trace_v our_o division_n to_o the_o beginning_n and_o examine_v how_o the_o tare_n of_o dissension_n come_v to_o be_v sow_v among_o we_o the_o answer_n must_v be_v that_o which_o our_o saviour_n have_v teach_v we_o in_o the_o parable_n the_o enemy_n do_v this_o 13.24_o matth._n 13.24_o whilst_o we_o be_v sleep_v and_o sure_o after_o so_o long_a experience_n of_o the_o enemy_n design_n upon_o we_o we_o ought_v to_o awake_v and_o to_o learn_v at_o least_o this_o necessary_a piece_n of_o wisdom_n to_o render_v ourselves_o firm_a against_o all_o future_a attempt_n by_o a_o close_a union_n among_o ourselves_o and_o this_o will_v appear_v the_o more_o necessary_a at_o this_o time_n if_o we_o consider_v the_o danger_n we_o be_v in_o upon_o the_o same_o account_n from_o adversary_n of_o another_o sort_n i_o mean_v some_o that_o have_v no_o regard_n for_o any_o religion_n or_o at_o least_o not_o for_o that_o which_o be_v reveal_v and_o other_o who_o though_o they_o profess_v themselves_o christian_n yet_o presume_v not_o only_o to_o dispute_v and_o cavil_v at_o but_o to_o ridicule_n and_o expose_v to_o contempt_n all_o the_o mystery_n of_o our_o christian_n faith_n when_o i_o speak_v of_o union_n i_o do_v not_o think_v it_o be_v to_o be_v expect_v that_o we_o shall_v be_v all_o present_o of_o one_o mind_n in_o all_o thing_n but_o it_o be_v to_o be_v hope_v that_o among_o other_o good_a effect_n of_o the_o late_a happy_a revolution_n we_o who_o be_v deliver_v from_o a_o common_a enemy_n may_v become_v better_a friend_n to_o one_o another_o it_o be_v certain_o our_o duty_n and_o our_o interest_n on_o all_o side_n to_o do_v what_o in_o we_o lie_v towards_o the_o become_a one_o body_n in_o church_n as_o well_o as_o in_o state_n and_o if_o every_o one_o among_o we_o will_v but_o do_v just_a as_o much_o as_o in_o conscience_n he_o can_v towards_o this_o our_o division_n i_o be_o persuade_v will_v not_o continue_v much_o long_o at_o least_o they_o will_v quick_o be_v much_o sewer_n than_o they_o be_v to_o conclude_v let_v we_o not_o willing_o differ_v in_o any_o thing_n but_o mind_n and_o speak_v and_o do_v the_o same_o thing_n and_o where_o after_o our_o best_a endeavour_n our_o judgement_n still_o happen_v to_o differ_v there_o let_v our_o charity_n and_o mutual_a forbearance_n take_v place_n for_o though_o i_o be_o very_o sure_a it_o be_v the_o duty_n and_o the_o interest_n of_o christian_n to_o be_v of_o one_o mind_n and_o of_o one_o communion_n yet_o it_o be_v certain_o as_o great_a a_o duty_n and_o i_o think_v a_o great_a perfection_n to_o maintain_v christian_a charity_n in_o the_o midst_n of_o our_o difference_n i_o shall_v shut_v up_o my_o exhortation_n with_o that_o apostolical_a precept_n which_o carry_v both_o reason_n and_o authority_n in_o it_o 16._o phil._n 3.15_o 16._o let_v we_o therefore_o as_o many_o as_o be_v perfect_a be_v thus_o mind_v and_o if_o in_o any_o thing_n you_o

which_o we_o profess_v to_o god_n even_o our_o father_n and_o to_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n the_o only-begotten_a of_o the_o father_n with_o the_o eternal_a spirit_n be_v ascribe_v as_o be_v
