particular_o name_v above_o other_o order_n in_o these_o national_a prayer_n against_o enemy_n and_o the_o reason_n be_v obvious_a because_o the_o interest_n of_o the_o whole_a nation_n be_v sum_v up_o in_o the_o felicity_n of_o their_o king_n so_o that_o they_o that_o be_v his_o enemy_n be_v take_v for_o the_o nation_n enemy_n also_o in_o these_o prayer_n in_o pray_v therefore_o against_o k._n william_n enemy_n we_o consider_v he_o not_o mere_o as_o a_o single_a solitary_a person_n but_o as_o our_o sovereign_a head_n on_o who_o welfare_n our_o own_o also_o depend_v and_o so_o in_o his_o enemy_n we_o pray_v against_o our_o own_o also_o seven_o we_o must_v inquire_v whether_o k._n james_n must_v in_o our_o prayer_n inevitable_o come_v into_o the_o number_n of_o k._n william_n enemy_n and_o so_o by_o civil_a construction_n the_o nation_n enemy_n now_o when_o these_o prayer_n be_v first_o order_v and_o receive_v k._n james_n be_v in_o no_o part_n of_o his_o old_a dominion_n nor_o in_o any_o actual_a sensible_a military_a hostility_n against_o k._n william_n any_o where_o for_o though_o the_o irish_a be_v in_o commotion_n yet_o k._n james_n be_v not_o there_o nor_o do_v it_o appear_v that_o they_o act_v on_o his_o commission_n but_o mere_a presumption_n and_o that_o not_o against_o k._n william_n till_o his_o army_n come_v thither_o but_o their_o domestic_a protestant_n only_o it_o seem_v a_o while_n as_o if_o k._n james_n have_v sit_v down_o and_o yield_v up_o to_o his_o fate_n and_o state_n of_o desertion_n after_o the_o settle_a course_n of_o these_o prayer_n reanimated_n by_o the_o french_a king_n he_o enter_v ●●●land_n and_o k._n william_n follow_v in_o the_o mean_a time_n ●he_v course_n and_o sense_n of_o the_o prayer_n be_v still_o the_o same_o

particularise_v after_o than_o before_o this_o in_o our_o prayer_n yet_o if_o his_o personal_a behaviour_n towards_o k._n william_n at_o the_o boyne_n do_v not_o evince_v the_o contrary_a i_o will_v allow_v you_o that_o then_o he_o be_v a_o military_a enemy_n but_o still_o the_o grand_a question_n be_v whether_o also_o he_o be_v a_o moral_a enemy_n and_o so_o within_o the_o intention_n of_o our_o prayer_n by_o his_o then_o present_a break_v it_o off_o from_o england_n and_o his_o design_n thereby_o to_o recover_v england_n and_o plain_o it_o be_v that_o the_o sense_n of_o our_o nation_n which_o be_v valid_a and_o cogent_a to_o all_o civil_a obligation_n do_v conclude_v he_o a_o injurious_a and_o moral_a enemy_n to_o k._n william_n and_o this_o realm_n for_o ireland_n belong_v through_o a_o long_o fix_v right_o to_o the_o crown_n of_o england_n it_o must_v appear_v injurious_a after_o a_o effectual_a abdication_n of_o this_o crown_n and_o a_o settlement_n of_o a_o title_n therein_o upon_o k._n william_n to_o invade_v ireland_n and_o so_o to_o reduce_v we_o here_o under_o war_n for_o a_o recovery_n thereof_o and_o a_o defence_n of_o our_o own_o land_n from_o his_o illegal_a claim_n and_o pretension_n and_o whereas_o without_o any_o sense_n of_o modesty_n you_o say_v that_o i_o assert_v k._n james_n and_o k._n william_n not_o to_o be_v enemy_n but_o good_a friend_n viz._n that_o k._n james_n be_v so_o friendly_a to_o k._n william_n for_o that_o he_o intend_v k._n william_n no_o injury_n you_o may_v resume_v your_o forehead_n and_o remember_v that_o i_o only_o say_v we_o be_v not_o sure_a that_o k._n james_n design_v k._n william_n injury_n but_o what_o we_o be_v not_o infallible_o sure_a of_o we_o may_v very_o believe_v and_o presume_v from_o all_o the_o rule_n of_o humane_a judgement_n upon_o act_n of_o hostility_n and_o in_o all_o humane_a opinion_n his_o invasion_n of_o ireland_n be_v injurious_a but_o since_o all_o judicial_a determination_n must_v be_v leave_v and_o refer_v to_o god_n judgement_n we_o not_o mention_v k._n james_n in_o the_o number_n of_o k._n william_n enemy_n do_v not_o pass_v our_o internal_a and_o personal_a censure_n on_o the_o conscience_n of_o k._n james_n before_o our_o god_n but_o remit_v that_o to_o god_n the_o judge_n of_o all_o king_n and_o nation_n but_o if_o private_a person_n will_v intermix_v their_o own_o personal_a opinion_n upon_o such_o superior_a cause_n where_o they_o need_v not_o than_o they_o who_o think_v k._n james_n a_o moral_a enemy_n to_o k._n william_n do_v use_v our_o form_n against_o he_o on_o that_o presumption_n of_o his_o injury_n they_o that_o do_v not_o think_v so_o of_o k._n james_n do_v not_o in_o this_o form_n of_o liturgy_n pray_v against_o he_o and_o the_o liturgy_n not_o compel_v we_o in_o the_o act_n of_o our_o religion_n to_o condemn_v k._n james_n as_o moral_o injurious_a do_v not_o oblige_v any_o man_n determinate_o to_o involve_v he_o under_o any_o of_o our_o imprecation_n and_o whereas_o our_o prayer_n be_v upbraid_v in_o the_o second_o chapter_n of_o your_o first_o book_n of_o christian_a communion_n as_o direct_v against_o right_o for_o the_o maintenance_n of_o wrong_n it_o hereby_o appear_v how_o much_o mistake_v that_o great_a author_n be_v for_o whosoever_o can_v but_o comport_v with_o the_o sovereign_a style_n of_o their_o present_a majesty_n may_v use_v these_o prayer_n without_o prejudice_n to_o any_o real_a right_n of_o k._n james_n or_o his_o own_o private_a opinion_n concern_v it_o as_o to_o k._n james_n personal_a

and_o i_o do_v very_o believe_v their_o present_a majesty_n as_o little_a require_v my_o prayer_n for_o his_o hurt_n as_o you_o do_v for_o time_n be_v when_o he_o be_v in_o the_o hand_n of_o k._n william_n who_o have_v he_o design_v to_o hurt_v he_o may_v have_v do_v it_o and_o thereby_o have_v prevent_v all_o the_o pretension_n that_o have_v cost_v so_o much_o blood_n and_o treasure_n in_o

can_v dare_v to_o pray_v for_o and_o expect_v god_n blessing_n but_o further_o you_o have_v forget_v one_o argument_n perhaps_o because_o it_o be_v inconsiderable_a whereby_o it_o appear_v that_o our_o prayer_n be_v not_o point_v against_o any_o right_n of_o k._n james_n or_o to_o any_o hurt_n of_o his_o person_n for_o that_o we_o pray_v for_o all_o christian_a king_n prince_n and_o governor_n even_o th●se_a against_o who_o we_o wage_v open_a war_n and_o out_o of_o these_o prayer_n we_o do_v not_o except_v even_o the_o most_o christian_n king_n but_o pray_v for_o the_o preservation_n of_o he_o also_o in_o all_o his_o right_n our_o war_n not_o obstruct_v this_o practice_n of_o piety_n even_o to_o our_o great_a enemy_n which_o we_o observe_v from_o the_o precept_n and_o example_n of_o our_o most_o bless_a saviour_n and_o therefore_o though_o it_o be_v true_a what_o you_o will_v seem_v to_o prove_v in_o form_n of_o argument_n that_o k._n james_n be_v account_v a_o great_a enemy_n and_o if_o you_o please_v add_v a_o great_a king_n too_o than_o the_o french_a king_n yet_o no_o enmity_n ought_v to_o be_v great_a enough_o to_o overcome_v our_o religion_n and_o charity_n in_o pray_v for_o our_o very_a great_a enemy_n even_o while_o we_o pray_v against_o their_o enmity_n but_o let_v we_o however_o see_v whether_o k._n william_n and_o his_o subject_n do_v take_v k._n james_n for_o a_o great_a enemy_n than_o the_o french_a king_n who_o it_o seem_v to_o you_o be_v account_v a_o enemy_n only_o for_o assert_v k._n james_n cause_n first_o then_o if_o we_o take_v the_o moral_a notion_n of_o enemy_n no_o man_n can_v judge_v whether_o k._n james_n or_o k._n lewis_n have_v the_o great_a internal_a enmity_n against_o k._n william_n if_o we_o go_v upon_o the_o military_a notion_n it_o be_v apparent_o false_a that_o k._n james_n either_o be_v or_o be_v account_v a_o great_a enemy_n than_o he_o that_o be_v the_o great_a in_o arm_n of_o all_o the_o christian_a monarch_n
