a_o sober_a and_o seasonable_a commemoration_n of_o the_o thirty_o day_n of_o january_n 1648._o be_v the_o day_n of_o the_o martyrdom_n of_o king_n charles_n the_o first_o and_o fit_a to_o be_v consider_v upon_o the_o anniversary_n fast_o for_o the_o same_o by_o the_o same_o hand_n as_o write_v vox_fw-la populi_n or_o england_n lamentation_n if_o we_o look_v back_o and_o serious_o consider_v the_o many_o calamity_n of_o our_o late_a war_n and_o retrospect_n into_o the_o cause_n both_o evident_a and_o remote_a which_o bring_v that_o deluge_n of_o misery_n upon_o three_o than_o almost_o ruin_v kingdom_n and_o the_o bloody_a sequel_n of_o all_o those_o trouble_n the_o behead_n of_o that_o virtuous_a and_o pious_a king_n charles_n the_o first_o in_o the_o memory_n of_o which_o we_o yearly_o keep_v a_o fast_a for_o the_o same_o that_o god_n will_v be_v please_v never_o more_o to_o visit_v we_o in_o h●s_n wrath_n nor_o give_v we_o the_o like_a dreadful_a occasion_n of_o sackcloth_n and_o ash_n i_o say_v if_o we_o do_v most_o serious_o consider_v as_o we_o ought_v from_o the_o great_a to_o the_o least_o we_o shall_v not_o tread_v the_o same_o path_n lead_v to_o

and_o now_o serious_o weigh_v in_o the_o balance_n of_o judgement_n the_o posture_n and_o action_n of_o affair_n at_o this_o present_a may_v see_v too_o much_o similitude_n if_o not_o to_o fear_v as_o

commit_v it_o no_o more_o it_o will_v be_v seasonable_a now_o as_o much_o as_o ever_o for_o king_n and_o people_n both_o great_a and_o small_a to_o commemorate_v and_o think_v upon_o the_o sadness_n of_o that_o day_n when_o all_o face_n look_v pale_a and_o when_o the_o land_n mourn_v when_o they_o behold_v with_o bleed_a heart_n the_o sad_a effect_n of_o division_n war_n and_o rebellion_n fall_v upon_o the_o head_n of_o their_o sovereign_n and_o bondage_n and_o slavery_n fling_v upon_o the_o neck_n of_o the_o people_n prorogative_n on_o the_o one_o side_n and_o privilege_n on_o the_o other_o

in_o a_o labyrinth_n of_o woe_n and_o confusion_n every_o one_o see_v who_o can_v remember_v or_o read_v the_o tansaction_n of_o former_a time_n several_a of_o late_o have_v loud_o cry_v out_o how_o

we_o i_o say_v remember_v this_o fatal_a day_n and_o the_o more_o like_o these_o time_n look_v to_o those_o precede_v our_o late_a trouble_n let_v we_o the_o more_o think_v of_o their_o fatal_a
