the_o queen_n majesty_n and_o one_o of_o the_o lord_n of_o his_o majesty_n most_o honourable_a privy-council_n my_o lord_n when_o i_o preach_v the_o ensue_a sermon_n i_o design_v nothing_o less_o in_o the_o world_n than_o the_o print_n of_o it_o nor_o be_o i_o yet_o so_o vain_a as_o to_o think_v it_o worthy_a of_o the_o press_n this_o be_v a_o critical_a and_o censorious_a age_n wherein_o none_o indeed_o shall_v present_v their_o labour_n to_o the_o public_a view_n but_o such_o only_a who_o great_a ability_n may_v prove_v serviceable_a to_o the_o common_a good_a but_o as_o for_o this_o plain_a sermon_n it_o have_v nothing_o at_o all_o to_o recommend_v it_o but_o your_o lordship_n approbation_n at_o the_o preach_n of_o it_o together_o with_o those_o worthy_a gentleman_n the_o high_a sheriff_n and_o grand-jury_n of_o the_o county_n who_o afterward_o request_v i_o as_o the_o world_n may_v see_v to_o print_v it_o i_o shall_v therefore_o make_v no_o other_o apology_n for_o appear_v now_o in_o public_a but_o say_v it_o be_v their_o request_n that_o cause_v it_o these_o be_v all_o person_n of_o worth_n and_o true_a loyalty_n which_o appear_v by_o their_o address_n late_o make_v to_o his_o majesty_n i_o can_v not_o but_o bend_v my_o inclination_n though_o with_o much_o reluctancy_n to_o satisfy_v their_o desire_n and_o choose_v rather_o to_o expose_v myself_o to_o the_o censure_n of_o the_o world_n than_o deny_v their_o unanimous_a and_o importunate_a request_n i_o wish_v though_o i_o much_o doubt_v it_o that_o it_o may_v have_v the_o same_o effect_n as_o be_v by_o some_o of_o they_o intimate_v who_o use_v this_o as_o a_o argument_n to_o i_o that_o the_o print_n of_o it_o may_v be_v for_o the_o public_a good_a whereas_o the_o preach_a can_v reach_v only_o a_o few_o that_o be_v then_o present_a i_o be_v likewise_o inform_v by_o some_o other_o of_o they_o that_o they_o hear_v it_o report_v this_o be_v but_o the_o copy_n with_o some_o little_a variation_n of_o a_o print_a sermon_n but_o ala●_n that_o do_v not_o at_o all_o move_v i_o i_o look_v upon_o it_o only_o as_o the_o impertinence_n of_o some_o peevish_a zealot_n who_o usual_a method_n it_o be_v to_o make_v something_o to_o cavil_v at_o rather_o than_o want_v exercise_n for_o their_o revile_v faculty_n have_v thus_o show_v the_o world_n the_o true_a and_o only_a reason_n that_o move_v i_o to_o print_v this_o short_a discourse_n for_o such_o indeed_o it_o be_v and_o the_o reason_n of_o that_o be_v because_o i_o think_v brevity_n most_o suitable_a to_o the_o occasion_n for_o which_o it_o be_v design_v i_o be_o now_o only_o to_o beg_v your_o lordship_n pardon_n for_o prefix_v so_o great_a a_o name_n before_o a_o tract_n of_o so_o little_a worth_n it_o be_v only_o the_o experience_n i_o have_v have_v of_o your_o lordship_n goodness_n that_o embolden_v i_o to_o do_v it_o and_o therefore_o i_o be_v no_o soon_o prevail_v upon_o to_o print_v this_o sermon_n but_o i_o resolve_v at_o the_o same_o instant_n to_o offer_v it_o how_o mean_a soever_o to_o your_o lordship_n patronage_n and_o i_o hope_v in_o some_o sense_n i_o may_v justify_v the_o do_n of_o it_o because_o the_o sole_a design_n of_o this_o sermon_n how_o mean_o soever_o perform_v be_v to_o set_v forth_o our_o duty_n to_o god_n and_o the_o king_n and_o therefore_o most_o proper_a to_o be_v dedicate_v to_o your_o lordship_n the_o most_o exact_a observer_n of_o both_o if_o therefore_o your_o lordship_n please_v to_o accept_v and_o favour_v it_o i_o shall_v think_v myself_o and_o it_o secure_v notwithstanding_o all_o the_o censure_n of_o the_o world_n i_o value_v they_o not_o but_o shall_v rest_v satisfy_v in_o this_o that_o i_o have_v make_v some_o though_o but_o a_o weak_a acknowledgement_n of_o that_o duty_n and_o service_n i_o owe_v your_o lordship_n but_o more_o especial_o that_o your_o lordship_n will_v vouchsafe_v to_o accept_v such_o weak_a performance_n and_o therefore_o that_o almighty_a god_n will_v bless_v your_o lordship_n and_o your_o most_o excellent_a good_a lady_n from_o who_o joint_a benevolence_n i_o have_v receive_v many_o and_o great_a favour_n with_o long_a life_n and_o
