our_o church_n and_o nation_n by_o stir_v up_o faction_n and_o sedition_n among_o we_o and_o contrive_v plot_n and_o conspiracy_n against_o the_o government_n all_o man_n shall_v fear_v first_o here_o be_v a_o duty_n of_o thankfulness_n to_o god_n for_o this_o gracious_a deliverance_n this_o be_v the_o duty_n of_o this_o day_n to_o which_o god_n have_v so_o signal_o oblige_v we_o and_o which_o the_o king_n in_o his_o name_n command_v we_o to_o perform_v and_o whosoever_o perform_v it_o not_o sincere_o and_o cordial_o most_o humble_o and_o devout_o offer_v up_o to_o the_o divine_a majesty_n the_o sacrifice_n of_o praise_n and_o thanksgiving_n sure_o have_v neither_o any_o true_a religion_n nor_o loyalty_n in_o his_o heart_n but_o in_o contempt_n both_o of_o god_n and_o the_o king_n do_v what_o lie_v in_o his_o power_n to_o pull_v down_o a_o curse_n instead_o of_o a_o blessing_n upon_o himself_o and_o the_o whole_a kingdom_n for_o where_o god_n sow_v plentiful_o he_o expect_v to_o reap_v so_o too_o and_o when_o he_o bestow_v upon_o we_o extraordinary_a favour_n it_o be_v but_o just_a that_o our_o grateful_a sense_n and_o acknowledgement_n of_o they_o shall_v be_v as_o far_o as_o be_v possible_a answerable_a and_o he_o can_v be_v no_o better_o than_o a_o enemy_n to_o his_o king_n and_o country_n that_o will_v not_o acknowledge_v the_o discovery_n and_o disappointment_n of_o this_o hellish_a plot_n to_o have_v be_v a_o peculiar_a and_o extraordinary_a demonstration_n of_o the_o divine_a goodness_n towards_o we_o it_o be_v a_o mercy_n that_o have_v continue_v to_o

from_o be_v make_v the_o second_o time_n a_o den_n of_o thief_n that_o will_v have_v establish_v schism_n and_o heresy_n among_o we_o by_o a_o law_n and_o give_v we_o as_o fair_a a_o plea_n for_o

from_o we_o and_o instead_o thereof_o have_v confirm_v that_o kingdom_n unto_o we_o and_o have_v settle_v among_o we_o i_o hope_v sure_a and_o firm_a than_o ever_o the_o best_a religion_n under_o the_o happy_a government_n and_o protection_n of_o one_o of_o the_o best_a of_o king_n i_o speak_v not_o this_o in_o flattery_n but_o as_o a_o truth_n of_o which_o i_o be_o so_o confident_a that_o i_o make_v no_o doubt_n but_o that_o the_o very_o dissatisfied_a party_n of_o the_o nation_n themselves_o if_o they_o look_v round_o about_o can_v name_v any_o one_o king_n now_o reign_v in_o

be_v they_o will_v have_v no_o king_n at_o all_o but_o a_o commonwealth_n and_o so_o it_o be_v a_o plain_a case_n that_o if_o our_o saviour_n himself_o as_o the_o fifth-monarchy-man_n dream_v shall_v come_v down_o from_o heaven_n incognito_o and_o reign_v over_o person_n of_o such_o principle_n as_o these_o he_o will_v meet_v with_o as_o bad_a entertainment_n among_o they_o as_o he_o do_v among_o the_o scribe_n and_o pharisee_n they_o will_v be_v sure_a to_o treat_v he_o with_o libel_n and_o lampoon_n and_o endeavour_v to_o persuade_v the_o people_n that_o he_o intend_v to_o introduce_v popery_n and_o arbitrary_a government_n if_o then_o ever_o any_o nation_n have_v certain_o we_o have_v reason_n to_o say_v with_o israel_n if_o the_o lord_n himself_o have_v not_o be_v on_o our_o side_n if_o the_o lord_n himself_o have_v not_o be_v on_o our_o side_n when_o man_n rise_v up_o against_o we_o they_o have_v swallow_v we_o up_o quick_a when_o they_o be_v so_o wrathful_o displease_v at_o we_o but_o praise_v be_v the_o lord_n who_o have_v not_o give_v we_o over_o for_o a_o prey_n unto_o their_o tooth_n since_o god_n have_v be_v please_v to_o stretch_v out_o his_o omnipotent_a arm_n to_o defend_v we_o and_o to_o preserve_v our_o liberty_n our_o life_n and_o fortune_n and_o which_o ought_v to_o be_v dear_a to_o we_o than_o they_o all_v our_o religion_n from_o the_o fanatic_a and_o brutish_a rage_n and_o fury_n of_o the_o worst_a and_o most_o inexcusable_a generation_n of_o schismatic_n that_o ever_o infest_a the_o church_n of_o christ_n if_o we_o pour_v not_o out_o our_o heart_n in_o the_o devout_a praise_n and_o adoration_n and_o thanks_o to_o our_o almighty_a deliverer_n sure_o we_o be_v the_o most_o ungrateful_a wretch_n that_o ever_o receive_v any_o favour_n from_o heaven_n the_o psalmist_n tell_v we_o here_o in_o my_o text_n that_o to_o praise_v and_o magnify_v the_o name_n of_o god_n for_o such_o a_o deliverance_n as_o this_o that_o he_o have_v wrought_v for_o we_o be_v a_o piece_n of_o wisdom_n for_o say_v he_o they_o shall_v wise_o consider_v of_o his_o do_v and_o then_o not_o to_o do_v it_o must_v necessary_o be_v a_o evident_a demonstration_n of_o folly_n and_o therefore_o whosoever_o neglect_v the_o duty_n of_o this_o day_n and_o refuse_v to_o give_v unto_o god_n the_o honour_n that_o be_v due_a unto_o his_o name_n proclaim_v himself_o to_o be_v a_o fool_n and_o that_o in_o the_o worst_a sense_n either_o a_o atheistical_a fool_n that_o regard_v not_o the_o work_n of_o the_o lord_n nor_o the_o operation_n of_o his_o hand_n or_o else_o a_o rebellious_a fool_n that_o in_o his_o heart_n favour_v the_o design_n of_o the_o traitor_n and_o inward_o grieve_v and_o repine_v at_o the_o goodness_n of_o god_n that_o have_v disappoint_v it_o if_o then_o we_o desire_v to_o escape_v the_o just_a imputation_n of_o folly_n and_o sin_n let_v we_o all_o this_o day_n wise_o consider_v of_o god_n do_v and_o declare_v his_o work_n and_o that_o we_o may_v do_v it_o wise_o indeed_o let_v we_o be_v careful_a to_o praise_v he_o as_o our_o church_n teach_v we_o to_o pray_v that_o we_o may_v not_o only_o with_o our_o lip_n but_o in_o our_o life_n by_o give_v up_o ourselves_o to_o his_o service_n the_o son_n of_o sirach_n tell_v we_o that_o praise_n be_v not_o seemly_a in_o the_o mouth_n of_o a_o sinner_n but_o if_o we_o utter_v praise_n in_o wisdom_n than_o the_o lord_n will_v prosper_v it_o ecclus_n 15.9.10_o and_o so_o say_v david_n in_o my_o text_n the_o righteous_a shall_v be_v glad_a in_o the_o lord_n and_o shall_v trust_v in_o he_o and_o all_o the_o upright_a in_o heart_n shall_v glory_v let_v we_o therefore_o this_o day_n make_v a_o new_a covenant_n with_o the_o lord_n our_o god_n to_o walk_v in_o his_o way_n and_o to_o keep_v his_o commandment_n let_v we_o search_v and_o examine_v our_o heart_n narrow_o and_o cleanse_v and_o purify_v they_o that_o there_o may_v be_v no_o accurse_a thing_n in_o they_o to_o defile_v our_o sacrifice_n and_o to_o render_v the_o tribute_n of_o our_o praise_n unpassable_a in_o the_o court_n of_o heaven_n thus_o if_o we_o do_v god_n that_o have_v hitherto_o protect_v we_o will_v protect_v we_o still_o and_o scatter_v our_o enemy_n that_o delight_n in_o blood_n but_o if_o we_o do_v otherwise_o with_o that_o rod_n which_o he_o have_v at_o this_o time_n only_o show_v we_o in_o great_a mercy_n to_o affright_v we_o into_o obedience_n and_o with_o which_o he_o have_v once_o already_o most_o severe_o chastise_v we_o he_o will_v ever_o long_o in_o his_o just_a anger_n dash_v we_o in_o piece_n i_o shall_v conclude_v this_o point_n with_o the_o prophet_n samuel_n advice_n to_o the_o people_n of_o israel_n 2_o sam._n 12.24_o 25._o only_o fear_v the_o

consume_v both_o you_o and_o your_o king_n and_o so_o i_o proceed_v to_o the_o second_o duty_n recommend_v to_o we_o in_o these_o last_o word_n of_o my_o text_n and_o that_o be_v a_o duty_n of_o
