this_o kingdom_n and_o the_o whole_a christian_a world_n who_o be_v bear_v in_o our_o barren_a soil_n and_o in_o their_o child-bood_a muzzle_v up_o in_o superstition_n so_o soon_o as_o god_n bring_v they_o to_o the_o light_n of_o the_o gospel_n in_o the_o university_n the_o nursery_n of_o learning_n and_o true_a religion_n they_o become_v famous_a and_o renown_a professor_n of_o divinity_n and_o most_o stout_a and_o strong_a maintainer_n of_o the_o truth_n against_o papist_n and_o all_o other_o heretic_n i_o can_v pass_v by_o in_o silence_n but_o for_o example_n will_v name_v and_o mention_v with_o honour_n and_o reverence_n that_o mirror_n of_o learning_n and_o religion_n doctor_n whitaker_n our_o sometime_o worthy_a professor_n in_o cambridge_n who_o name_n be_v still_o dreadful_a to_o our_o adversary_n and_o his_o writing_n of_o great_a esteem_n even_o in_o foreign_a country_n at_o this_o day_n and_o his_o memory_n ever_o bless_v yea_o we_o find_v by_o daily_a experience_n that_o in_o those_o parish_n and_o place_n of_o our_o nature_n country_n which_o have_v heretofore_o be_v most_o grievous_o overrun_v with_o ignorance_n and_o superstition_n while_o they_o want_v the_o mean_n of_o knowledge_n the_o ministry_n of_o the_o word_n and_o where_o the_o word_n at_o the_o first_o preach_v thereof_o have_v be_v strong_o oppose_v now_o by_o mean_n of_o a_o constant_a ministry_n and_o powerful_a preach_v continue_v among_o they_o the_o people_n do_v become_v general_o so_o zealous_a for_o the_o truth_n so_o fervent_a in_o their_o zeal_n so_o forward_o in_o their_o profession_n so_o strict_a in_o their_o life_n &_o in_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n so_o opposite_a to_o all_o shadow_n of_o superstition_n that_o some_o think_v they_o have_v more_o need_n of_o the_o bridle_n then_o else_o spur_n like_o the_o israelite_n in_o the_o wilderness_n who_o offer_v so_o frank_o &_o abundant_o to_o the_o build_n of_o god_n tabernacle_n that_o there_o be_v find_v much_o more_o then_o enough_o for_o the_o service_n of_o the_o work_n &_o moses_n give_v commandment_n and_o cause_v they_o by_o public_a proclamation_n to_o be_v restrain_v from_o bring_v any_o more_o exod._n 36._o i_o myself_o do_v know_v and_o can_v name_v for_o instance_n if_o need_v require_v diverse_a parish_n which_o within_o my_o memory_n be_v deep_o plunge_v in_o superstition_n and_o even_o drown_v in_o ignorance_n insomuch_o that_o the_o name_n of_o a_o preacher_n be_v as_o much_o scorn_v of_o many_o as_o the_o name_n of_o a_o babbler_n and_o of_o some_o as_o much_o hate_a as_o the_o name_n of_o a_o heretic_n but_o now_o of_o late_a year_n i_o have_v see_v with_o my_o eye_n such_o a_o wonderful_a alteration_n wrought_v by_o god_n grace_n and_o blessing_n accompany_v the_o labour_n of_o some_o holy_a and_o godly_a preacher_n send_v among_o they_o that_o they_o be_v ready_a and_o willing_a to_o run_v many_o mile_n to_o hear_v sermon_n when_o they_o have_v they_o not_o at_o home_n and_o lay_v aside_o all_o care_n of_o worldly_a profit_n leave_v their_o labour_n and_o work_v on_o week_n day_n to_o frequent_v public_a meeting_n for_o prophecy_n and_o expound_v of_o god_n word_n and_o hardly_o can_v a_o preacher_n travel_v through_o their_o town_n and_o lodge_v there_o on_o any_o day_n in_o the_o week_n but_o they_o will_v by_o importunity_n obtain_v a_o public_a sermon_n from_o he_o and_o in_o great_a troop_n sudden_o and_o upon_o short_a warning_n assemble_v they_o will_v glad_o and_o cheerful_o hear_v he_o with_o all_o reverence_n and_o attention_n and_o therefore_o as_o st._n paul_n from_o his_o own_o example_n &_o the_o example_n of_o a_o small_a remnant_n of_o believe_v jew_n who_o by_o so_o many_o miracle_n &_o much_o powerful_a preach_n of_o christ_n himself_o and_o his_o extraordinary_a apostle_n and_o prophet_n be_v call_v and_o draw_v to_o believe_v do_v conclude_v that_o god_n have_v not_o reject_v and_o cast_v away_o the_o whole_a nation_n as_o reprobate_n past_o hope_n so_o may_v we_o much_o more_o strong_o conclude_v from_o the_o example_n of_o ourselves_o who_o be_v many_o and_o from_o the_o example_n of_o those_o worthy_a professor_n and_o pillar_n of_o the_o church_n who_o god_n have_v raise_v up_o out_o of_o our_o country_n by_o ordinary_a mean_n and_o most_o of_o all_o from_o the_o great_a multitude_n of_o godly_a christian_n who_o by_o hundred_o and_o thousand_o be_v daily_o call_v and_o turn_v by_o ordinary_a preach_v from_o the_o darkness_n of_o ignorance_n to_o the_o light_n of_o true_a knowledge_n and_o from_o blind_a zeal_n and_o love_n of_o popery_n and_o superstition_n to_o the_o fervent_a love_n of_o the_o truth_n and_o zealous_a profession_n of_o the_o holy_a gospel_n of_o christ_n i_o say_v from_o these_o many_o example_n we_o may_v as_o upon_o strong_a ground_n of_o reason_n conclude_v that_o god_n have_v not_o cast_v away_o our_o people_n nor_o reject_v our_o native_a country_n neither_o in_o so_o many_o place_n keep_v his_o word_n from_o they_o as_o from_o a_o reprobate_a people_n never_o to_o be_v convert_v but_o rather_o do_v suffer_v they_o to_o live_v so_o long_o in_o ignorance_n and_o miserable_a blindness_n partly_o for_o a_o great_a judgement_n on_o overruling_a church-robber_n that_o he_o may_v bring_v on_o they_o and_o their_o house_n and_o family_n the_o
