observe_v and_o take_v notice_n of_o such_o event_n to_o render_v god_n the_o glory_n and_o to_o offer_v unto_o he_o our_o hearty_a praise_n and_o thanksgiving_n for_o the_o benefit_n or_o

1._o that_o as_o all_o thing_n be_v order_v by_o the_o providence_n of_o god_n so_o there_o be_v some_o event_n that_o deserve_v the_o name_n of_o special_a providence_n for_o that_o they_o show_v forth_o the_o power_n wisdom_n and_o goodness_n of_o god_n and_o his_o care_n over_o his_o church_n and_o people_n in_o a_o more_o especial_a and_o extraordinary_a manner_n than_o other_o do_v that_o all_o human_a affair_n be_v order_v by_o god_n providence_n so_o that_o without_o his_o knowledge_n and_o permission_n at_o the_o least_o nothing_o can_v possible_o come_v to_o pass_v yea_o that_o he_o be_v able_a to_o bring_v about_o whatever_o he_o please_v this_o be_v a_o truth_n so_o bright_a and_o clear_a that_o it_o be_v scarce_o ever_o i_o think_v deny_v by_o any_o that_o own_a a_o god_n who_o be_v the_o creator_n of_o the_o world_n for_o it_o be_v too_o absurd_a to_o imagine_v that_o god_n shall_v make_v the_o world_n and_o not_o be_v the_o governor_n of_o it_o and_o though_o indeed_o we_o be_v no_o more_o able_a to_o give_v a_o reason_n of_o all_o the_o proceed_n of_o the_o divine_a providence_n than_o we_o be_v to_o explain_v all_o the_o work_n of_o nature_n yet_o as_o in_o the_o latter_a we_o see_v enough_o to_o convince_v we_o of_o his_o infinite_a power_n wisdom_n and_o bounty_n to_o his_o creature_n so_o in_o the_o former_a also_o we_o may_v easy_o see_v sufficient_a proof_n of_o the_o same_o his_o most_o adorable_a perfection_n but_o all_o the_o work_n of_o providence_n be_v not_o alike_o sometime_o for_o wise_a and_o good_a reason_n god_n have_v be_v please_v quite_o to_o alter_v the_o course_n of_o nature_n as_o it_o be_v to_o show_v himself_o to_o have_v a_o power_n above_o it_o so_o it_o be_v when_o he_o divide_v the_o sea_n and_o make_v

both_o of_o the_o old_a and_o new_a testament_n in_o the_o general_a course_n of_o thing_n second_o cause_n seem_v as_o if_o they_o be_v leave_v to_o themselves_o and_o tempt_v inconsiderate_a man_n sometime_o to_o think_v that_o they_o be_v so_o but_o there_o be_v very_o frequent_o such_o event_n bring_v to_o pass_v that_o be_v as_o it_o be_v of_o a_o middle_a sort_n not_o plain_o miraculous_a
