tempestuous_a night_n sure_o this_o be_v a_o matter_n of_o exceed_v great_a praise_n to_o god_n and_o of_o wonderful_a rejoice_v to_o all_o the_o true_o godly_a and_o loyal_a in_o the_o three_o

it_o be_v a_o night_n a_o civil_a night_n it_o be_v a_o time_n of_o darkness_n &_o cloud_n upon_o a_o land_n and_o what_o have_v these_o late_a year_n of_o our_o bondage_n be_v but_o a_o night_n a_o night_n of_o confusion_n of_o usurpation_n of_o tyranny_n a_o night_n of_o blackness_n &_o of_o darkness_n upon_o the_o three_o nation_n a_o night_n which_o do_v overcloud_v all_o these_o ancient_a

and_o body_n of_o the_o people_n captivity_n &_o bondage_n be_v like_o a_o dream_n in_o this_o respect_n these_o that_o dream_n be_v sleep_v so_o a_o land_n under_o captivity_n and_o bondage_n be_v sleep_v ordinary_o it_o be_v so_o i_o mean_v not_o sleep_v in_o respect_n of_o external_a peace_n and_o rest_n ease_n and_o plenty_n but_o they_o be_v sleep_v in_o a_o sense_n moral_a and_o

our_o bondage_n be_v like_o a_o dream_n for_o although_o god_n have_v be_v pursue_v these_o land_n these_o several_a year_n by-gone_a for_o many_o abomination_n and_o particular_o for_o the_o cry_n of_o blood_n and_o above_o all_o for_o that_o royal_a and_o innocent_a blood_n of_o our_o late_a sovereign_n yet_o we_o have_v sleep_v on_o in_o our_o sin_n and_o security_n we_o have_v keep_v fast_a

and_o wrath_n their_o eye_n be_v shut_v their_o understanding_n and_o mind_n be_v darken_v they_o do_v not_o take_v to_o heart_n their_o own_o sinful_a and_o slavish_a condition_n they_o do_v not_o

sleep_v and_o dream_v in_o their_o sin_n i_o be_o sure_a that_o be_v our_o condition_n during_o our_o late_a captivity_n and_o bondage_n our_o eye_n be_v shut_v we_o be_v dream_v we_o do_v neither_o
