but_o yet_o we_o shall_v look_v on_o god_n as_o the_o primum_fw-la mobile_n and_o his_o hand_n as_o turn_v these_o wheel_n about_o all_o this_o while_n he_o have_v have_v and_o hold_v all_o their_o

of_o wickedness_n and_o provocation_n instead_o of_o a_o day_n of_o thanksgiving_n and_o praise_n to_o prevent_v this_o 1._o let_v we_o see_v acknowledge_v and_o be_v sensible_a of_o every_o one_o of_o we_o his_o own_o and_o the_o whole_a nation_n sinfulness_n and_o great_a unworthiness_n of_o such_o a_o mercy_n alas_o if_o we_o consider_v what_o wickedness_n be_v among_o we_o how_o by_o all_o sort_n and_o kind_n of_o sin_n we_o have_v provoke_v the_o lord_n we_o may_v wonder_v that_o instead_o of_o the_o voice_n of_o joy_n that_o we_o hear_v this_o day_n the_o lord_n have_v not_o cause_v

4._o let_v we_o beware_v of_o provoke_a god_n now_o he_o be_v come_v towards_o this_o nation_n in_o a_o way_n of_o mercy_n to_o stop_v and_o turn_v from_o we_o and_o do_v we_o hurt_v after_o he_o have_v do_v we_o good_a 5._o last_o if_o there_o be_v in_o we_o any_o fear_n of_o god_n any_o love_n to_o the_o king_n let_v not_o any_o of_o we_o dare_v this_o day_n to_o call_v or_o count_v that_o a_o expression_n of_o joy_n and_o thanksgiving_n which_o be_v a_o breach_n of_o god_n law_n or_o that_o tend_v to_o his_o dishonour_n thus_o far_o on_o day_n of_o thanksgiving_n afterward_o upon_o

to_o it_o as_o follow_v let_v we_o bless_v god_n for_o this_o most_o seasonable_a proclamation_n and_o for_o all_o those_o pious_a and_o gration_n expression_n in_o it_o to_o what_o a_o height_n of_o impudence_n in_o sin_n be_v some_o graceless_a wretch_n grow_v among_o we_o drunkenness_n swear_v curse_v and_o revile_v those_o that_o refuse_v to_o run_v into_o the_o same_o excess_n of_o riot_n with_o themselves_o these_o be_v and_o yet_o be_v the_o daily_a practice_n of_o many_o in_o all_o place_n and_o of_o some_o in_o this_o place_n and_o though_o by_o this_o their_o wickedness_n they_o only_o prove_v themselves_o subject_n and_o vassal_n to_o the_o prince_n of_o darkness_n yet_o they_o cloak_v over_o their_o abominable_a villainy_n with_o pretence_n of_o loyalty_n and_o affection_n to_o the_o king_n and_o this_o their_o profaneness_n they_o dare_v to_o call_v and_o expect_v that_o other_o shall_v count_v a_o testimony_n thereof_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n those_o that_o have_v any_o fear_n of_o god_n and_o true_a affection_n to_o the_o king_n be_v grieve_v at_o the_o very_a soul_n at_o this_o horrible_a wickedness_n know_v it_o do_v high_o offend_v and_o provoke_v god_n dishonour_n yea_o and_o endanger_v the_o king_n majesty_n and_o therefore_o they_o earnest_o beseech_v the_o lord_n that_o he_o will_v put_v it_o into_o his_o heart_n to_o discountenance_v and_o give_v some_o check_n to_o this_o grow_a will_n by_o declare_v his_o detestation_n and_o abhorrency_n of_o these_o their_o lewd_a course_n and_o the_o lord_n have_v hear_v they_o and_o give_v they_o the_o very_a desire_n of_o their_o heart_n for_o how_o full_o and_o excellent_o have_v his_o majesty_n declare_v himself_o so_o full_o that_o we_o may_v say_v what_o can_v the_o man_n say_v that_o come_v after_o the_o king_n hear_v again_o his_o majesty_n word_n pulchra_n sunt_fw-la he_o dicenda_fw-la and_o so_o i_o again_o repeat_v his_o majesty_n declaration_n to_o they_o and_o here_o because_o i_o one_o of_o those_o have_v open_o affirm_v some_o few_o day_n since_o that_o this_o be_v not_o nor_o can_v not_o be_v the_o king_n declaration_n but_o be_v put_v out_o by_o some_o rogue_n in_o his_o name_n i_o shall_v propound_v and_o answer_v that_o objection_n object_n how_o do_v we_o know_v that_o this_o be_v the_o king_n own_o declaration_n answ_n 1._o let_v we_o inquire_v whence_o it_o be_v that_o these_o objector_n be_v thus_o doubtful_a 2._o let_v we_o consider_v how_o offensive_a these_o word_n be_v 1._o for_o the_o first_o it_o be_v because_o it_o so_o extreme_o disappoint_v and_o cross_v their_o hope_n and_o expectation_n man_n be_v always_o very_o backward_o to_o believe_v what_o they_o passionate_o desire_v shall_v be_v false_a have_v it_o be_v a_o proclamation_n for_o the_o encouragement_n of_o vice_n and_o wickedness_n you_o shall_v never_o have_v hear_v any_o one_o of_o these_o make_v any_o question_n of_o the_o truth_n of_o it_o 2._o take_v notice_n of_o the_o great_a offence_n these_o objector_n be_v guilty_a of_o 1._o this_o their_o doubt_v and_o these_o their_o word_n be_v full_a of_o reproach_n and_o very_o injurious_a to_o the_o king_n majesty_n their_o word_n betray_v they_o you_o may_v see_v by_o this_o what_o thought_n these_o man_n have_v have_v and_o still_o have_v of_o the_o king_n they_o think_v he_o altogether_o such_o a_o one_o as_o themselves_o a_o lover_n and_o encourager_n of_o profaneness_n else_o what_o mean_v they_o when_o they_o say_v this_o can_v be_v the_o king_n declaration_n now_o what_o can_v be_v more_o dishonourable_a to_o the_o king_n 2._o their_o word_n show_v you_o what_o that_o love_n and_o affection_n to_o the_o king_n of_o which_o they_o boast_v be_v ground_v on_o viz._n a_o hope_n and_o persuasion_n that_o he_o will_v not_o cross_v they_o in_o their_o sinful_a course_n 3._o these_o word_n be_v guilty_a of_o rebellion_n they_o open_v a_o gap_n to_o all_o disobedience_n it_o seem_v if_o any_o law_n and_o proclamation_n come_v out_o which_o cross_n our_o desire_n we_o may_v decline_v obedience_n and_o say_v they_o be_v none_o of_o the_o king_n law_n none_o of_o his_o proclamation_n but_o to_o leave_v these_o and_o conclude_v this_o use_n let_v all_o of_o we_o bless_v god_n for_o this_o mercy_n this_o be_v the_o way_n to_o have_v more_o mercy_n in_o this_o kind_n god_n can_v make_v he_o yet_o a_o far_a and_o great_a blessing_n to_o these_o nation_n and_o let_v every_o one_o of_o we_o in_o our_o place_n observe_v and_o obey_v this_o proclamation_n and_o bring_v to_o punishment_n those_o that_o will_v not_o 4._o this_o doctrine_n inform_v which_o be_v the_o ready_a and_o only_a sure_a way_n to_o obtain_v any_o good_a for_o ourselves_o or_o the_o church_n of_o
