seasonable_o more_o unexpected_o more_o acceptable_o and_o perfect_o bestow_v upon_o any_o nation_n than_o these_o be_v upon_o we_o but_o this_o be_v not_o all_o for_o as_o the_o end_n in_o all_o

in_o give_v they_o unto_o we_o for_o god_n be_v the_o only_a good_a he_o can_v aim_v at_o nothing_o but_o at_o himself_o and_o himself_o his_o chief_a aim_n be_v the_o manifestation_n of_o the_o glory_n of_o his_o good_a will_n to_o mankind_n in_o jesus_n christ_n therefore_o i_o conclude_v that_o his_o end_n in_o pour_v forth_o such_o great_a stream_n of_o blessing_n upon_o you_o be_v to_o impart_v himself_o whole_o unto_o you_o and_o to_o cause_v the_o glory_n of_o his_o goodness_n to_o shine_v forth_o powerful_o in_o you_o and_o over_o you_o through_o the_o love_n which_o he_o bear_v unto_o you_o in_o jesus_n christ_n he_o do_v intend_v then_o that_o the_o world_n shall_v perceive_v that_o there_o be_v very_o a_o god_n in_o heaven_n who_o rule_v over_o all_o that_o this_o god_n do_v see_v the_o action_n of_o all_o man_n and_o consider_v their_o thought_n that_o he_o laugh_v to_o scorn_v the_o counsel_n of_o the_o wise_a and_o take_v the_o crafty_a in_o their_o own_o device_n that_o he_o execute_v justice_n and_o judgement_n in_o the_o whole_a earth_n against_o the_o wicked_a and_o show_v abundant_o his_o love_a kindness_n towards_o those_o that_o fear_v he_o and_o hope_v in_o his_o mercy_n that_o he_o be_v a_o god_n that_o can_v make_v at_o one_o instant_a all_o the_o enemy_n of_o the_o gospel_n to_o lick_v the_o dust_n like_o serpent_n that_o he_o be_v a_o god_n that_o ready_o pardon_v iniquity_n and_o pass_v by_o the_o transgression_n of_o the_o remnant_n of_o his_o inheritage_n that_o he_o do_v all_o this_o for_o his_o own_o name_n sake_n lest_o it_o

at_o this_o time_n that_o by_o the_o mean_n of_o your_o deliverance_n you_o have_v a_o call_v from_o god_n to_o impart_v unto_o other_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o perfect_a and_o acceptable_a will_n of_o god_n towards_o the_o child_n of_o his_o kingdom_n that_o all_o may_v find_v and_o taste_v with_o you_o through_o the_o communion_n of_o saint_n the_o unutterable_a sweetness_n of_o his_o love_n and_o his_o truth_n of_o his_o faithfulness_n and_o of_o all_o his_o gracious_a goodness_n from_o whence_o it_o may_v easy_o be_v gather_v what_o the_o duty_n be_v which_o in_o thankfulness_n you_o owe_v unto_o he_o for_o that_o which_o we_o know_v he_o will_v have_v we_o to_o intend_v in_o the_o work_n of_o his_o service_n that_o be_v our_o duty_n to_o resolve_v upon_o and_o take_v in_o hand_n now_o if_o we_o be_v not_o altogether_o destitute_a of_o the_o life_n of_o god_n we_o must_v needs_o know_v find_v and_o feel_v in_o conscience_n that_o he_o will_v have_v we_o to_o intend_v to_o show_v ourselves_o his_o servant_n that_o be_v to_o say_v to_o dedicate_v ourselves_o whole_o unto_o he_o so_o that_o from_o henceforth_o we_o shall_v not_o any_o more_o live_v as_o private_a man_n of_o this_o world_n unto_o ourselves_o but_o shall_v offer_v ourselves_o by_o all_o rational_a endeavour_n as_o a_o live_a
yourselves_o if_o ever_o you_o shall_v be_v profitable_a unto_o yourselves_o or_o true_o thankful_a unto_o god_n for_o all_o his_o benefit_n at_o this_o time_n bestow_v upon_o you_o for_o as_o god_n be_v not_o the_o god_n of_o one_o man_n alone_o but_o of_o all_o so_o he_o give_v not_o his_o gift_n unto_o any_o one_o in_o particular_a but_o by_o every_o one_o unto_o all_o thus_o also_o he_o be_v not_o the_o god_n of_o one_o church_n people_n or_o state_n alone_o but_o of_o all_o and_o therefore_o when_o he_o give_v unto_o any_o church_n state_n or_o nation_n extraordinary_a blessing_n and_o deliverance_n he_o do_v it_o not_o that_o they_o shall_v enjoy_v the_o same_o by_o themselves_o alone_o and_o live_v at_o their_o ease_n without_o the_o care_n of_o other_o but_o rather_o that_o they_o shall_v impart_v and_o dilate_v his_o goodness_n unto_o their_o neighbour_n that_o by_o the_o communication_n of_o his_o grace_n unto_o many_o manifold_a thanksgiving_n may_v redound_v by_o many_o unto_o his_o glory_n and_o the_o more_o this_o sacrifice_n of_o thanksgiving_n shall_v be_v offer_v unto_o god_n on_o your_o behalf_n by_o other_o the_o more_o his_o blessing_n will_v be_v

you_o shall_v go_v about_o as_o it_o be_v to_o engross_v his_o good_a gift_n and_o make_v they_o peculiarly_a your_o own_o they_o will_v vanish_v &_o be_v take_v away_o from_o you_o even_o as_o fire_v shut_v up_o without_o a_o vent_n be_v quench_v there_o be_v then_o a_o necessity_n in_o this_o that_o you_o resolve_v upon_o a_o large_a aim_n then_o that_o which_o be_v only_o useful_a unto_o yourselves_o in_o your_o particular_a commonwealth_n and_o when_o you_o have_v look_v on_o all_o side_n beyond_o yourselves_o you_o shall_v find_v none_o so_o near_o as_o these_o who_o i_o have_v

your_o mean_n exclude_v or_o neglect_v for_o we_o must_v suffer_v the_o sun_n to_o shine_v upon_o all_o but_o i_o will_v have_v you_o to_o aim_v at_o these_o express_o because_o i_o know_v that_o you_o be_v more_o oblige_v to_o extend_v your_o bowel_n unto_o they_o then_o unto_o other_o because_o they_o be_v more_o capable_a of_o the_o increase_n of_o god_n kingdom_n by_o your_o influence_n than_o other_o be_v because_o they_o have_v more_o need_n of_o the_o assistance_n you_o can_v give_v they_o than_o other_o have_v and_o because_o through_o the_o communication_n of_o your_o good_a thing_n unto_o they_o all_o the_o rest_n may_v be_v more_o benefitted_a then_o if_o you_o shall_v at_o once_o set_v your_o mind_n alike_o towards_o all_o indifferent_o for_o in_o these_o respect_v they_o ought_v to_o be_v rank_v in_o the_o first_o place_n before_o all_o other_o in_o your_o intention_n see_v the_o whole_a world_n will_v be_v a_o scope_n too_o large_a to_o be_v embrace_v as_o one_o time_n and_o papist_n can_v be_v deal_v withal_o in_o this_o nature_n nor_o be_v it_o wisdom_n to_o grasp_v too_o much_o at_o first_o lest_o nothing_o be_v take_v hold_n of_o and_o the_o

your_o thankfulness_n and_o yet_o the_o duty_n which_o ought_v to_o be_v perform_v towards_o those_o shall_v be_v such_o as_o in_o due_a time_n may_v be_v dilate_v unto_o all_o not_o only_a

the_o fire_n as_o it_o be_v for_o that_o which_o shall_v be_v consume_v when_o his_o kingdom_n shall_v appear_v but_o here_o the_o question_n will_v be_v what_o be_v the_o endeavour_n which_o may_v reach_v thus_o far_o from_o protestant_n unto_o all_o man_n in_o the_o kingdom_n of_o christ_n to_o which_o that_o i_o may_v answer_v i_o must_v suppose_v that_o if_o protestant_n be_v but_o unite_v

and_o have_v so_o much_o commerce_n with_o all_o the_o nation_n of_o the_o world_n as_o they_o do_v it_o will_v be_v easy_a for_o they_o to_o work_v first_o upon_o the_o rest_n of_o christian_n a_o more_o perfect_a reformation_n and_o then_o to_o propagate_v towards_o all_o other_o man_n the_o help_n of_o learning_n and_o religion_n which_o may_v be_v much_o better_v and_o improve_v above_o what_o now_o they_o be_v if_o some_o real_a assistance_n be_v give_v to_o such_o as_o elaborate_v the_o way_n thereof_o now_o that_o they_o may_v be_v so_o far_o unite_v and_o be_v bring_v to_o draw_v one_o line_n in_o the_o way_n of_o knowledge_n and_o reformation_n the_o possibility_n hereof_o may_v be_v make_v manifest_a by_o the_o principle_n of_o their_o state_n by_o the_o plain_a tenor_n of_o their_o public_a profession_n and_o practice_n and_o by_o the_o preparative_n of_o their_o union_n already_o far_o advance_v both_o in_o religion_n and_o learning_n the_o principle_n of_o their_o
