EEBO-TCP is a partnership between the Universities of Michigan and Oxford and the publisher ProQuest to create accurately transcribed and encoded texts based on the image sets published by ProQuest via their Early English Books Online (EEBO) database (http://eebo.chadwyck.com). The general aim of EEBO-TCP is to encode one copy (usually the first edition) of every monographic English-language title published between 1473 and 1700 available in EEBO.
EEBO-TCP aimed to produce large quantities of textual data within the usual project restraints of time and funding, and therefore chose to create diplomatic transcriptions (as opposed to critical editions) with light-touch, mainly structural encoding based on the Text Encoding Initiative (http://www.tei-c.org).
The EEBO-TCP project was divided into two phases. The 25,363 texts created during Phase 1 of the project have been released into the public domain as of 1 January 2015. Anyone can now take and use these texts for their own purposes, but we respectfully request that due credit and attribution is given to their original source.
Users should be aware of the process of creating the TCP texts, and therefore of any assumptions that can be made about the data.
Text selection was based on the New Cambridge Bibliography of English Literature (NCBEL). If an author (or for an anonymous work, the title) appears in NCBEL, then their works are eligible for inclusion. Selection was intended to range over a wide variety of subject areas, to reflect the true nature of the print record of the period. In general, first editions of a works in English were prioritized, although there are a number of works in other languages, notably Latin and Welsh, included and sometimes a second or later edition of a work was chosen if there was a compelling reason to do so.
Image sets were sent to external keying companies for transcription and basic encoding. Quality assurance was then carried out by editorial teams in Oxford and Michigan. 5% (or 5 pages, whichever is the greater) of each text was proofread for accuracy and those which did not meet QA standards were returned to the keyers to be redone. After proofreading, the encoding was enhanced and/or corrected and characters marked as illegible were corrected where possible up to a limit of 100 instances per text. Any remaining illegibles were encoded as <gap>s. Understanding these processes should make clear that, while the overall quality of TCP data is very good, some errors will remain and some readable characters will be marked as illegible. Users should bear in mind that in all likelihood such instances will never have been looked at by a TCP editor.
The texts were encoded and linked to page images in accordance with level 4 of the TEI in Libraries guidelines.
Copies of the texts have been issued variously as SGML (TCP schema; ASCII text with mnemonic sdata character entities); displayable XML (TCP schema; characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or text strings within braces); or lossless XML (TEI P5, characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or TEI g elements).

wishes
that
Grace

Peace

and

which
by

may

MY
Sighs
concern
you
all
,
throughout
this
Nation
Who
are
this
day
,
in
true
Humiliation
To
seek
the
face
of
GOD
;
For
,
we
make
One
Of
those
two
Pitchers
whom
I
do
bemone
:
And
,
unto
whom
(
then
fearing
much
their
breaking
,
When
first
I
saw
War
preparations
making
)
I
sent
a
Trumpet
,
both
with
an
Intent
And
hope
,
that
which
was
feared
,
to
prevent
;
Which
,
failing
my
good
purpose
to
produce
,
I
send
this
now
,
to
mediate
a
Truce
;
For
,
who
can
tell
,
but
that
my
words
may
have
Such
●ssue
now
,
as
heretofore
GOD
gave
Unto
a
private-womans
when
she
spoke
For
Abel
,
what
effect
in
season
took
?
So
may
it
prosper
as
I
am
sincere
In
that
,
Which
I
have
Superscribed
here
;
And
,
let
my
Foes
on
earth
,
be
still
as
many
As
there
are
men
,
if
I
wish
ill
to
any
;
Or
,
am
not
pleasd
that
all
should
live
and
die
As
happy
,
both
in
Life
and
Death
as
I
Who
shall
not
,
by
a
final
Wilfulness
,
Deprive
themselves
of
what
they
might
possess
;
And
slander
GOD
,
as
cause
Original
Of
that
,
which
doth
amiss
to
them
befal
.
For
,
though
,
not
few
,
my
Adversaries
be
Or
such
,
as
,
yet
,
bear
no
good
will
to
me
,
I
,
ev'n
for
that
cause
,
am
in
love
,
their
debter
;
For
,
him
,
who
loves
his
Foes
,
GOD
,
loves
the
better
:
Yea
,
having
partly
been
,
in
my
distress
Relievd
by
some
few
who
,
do
naytheless
Seem
still
my
Enemies
;
it
,
makes
me
more
,
Love
GOD
,
and
all
Mankinde
,
then
heretofore
.
A
time
is
come
,
in
which
,
it
is
our
turn
Both
altogether
,
and
apart
to
mourn
:
Those
General
Calamities
befal
Which
,
for
a
general
Repentance
call
,
And
,
for
particular
Humiliation
,
In
order
to
a
publick
Reformation
,
From
which
,
at
present
,
are
excepted
none
;
No
,
not
the
King
,
who
sitteth
on
the
Throne
:
For
,
that
which
is
in
Cottages
begun
Will
seize
the
Pallace
,
ere
the
Round
is
run
,
If
GOD
in
mercy
,
answer
not
our
hope
,
And
,
to
our
sins
and
fears
,
vouchsafe
a
Stop.
To
that
end
,
though
this
be
not
what
I
would
Or
,
should
contribute
,
it
is
what
I
could
And
,
may
now
,
be
as
usefully
exprest
,
As
what
more
artificially
is
drest
:
Yea
,
(
though
it
be
,
that
onely
)
in
effect
,
Which
I
have
ost
preferd
without
respect
,
This
,
seems
a
very
seasonable
time
,
To
greet
you
,
with
a
Reasonable
Rime
.
Accept
it
therefore
,
and
be
not
offended
With
what
is
conscientiously
intended
.
GOD
,
who
from
us
doth
Trifles
oft
receive
,
Requires
of
none
,
more
then
he
hath
to
give
;
And
,
if
you
shall
accept
what
's
in
my
powr
He
,
will
of
that
accept
,
which
is
in
your
;
For
,
all
that
is
contributed
,
by
this
,
Worth
your
acceptance
,
is
not
mine
,
but
his
.
Sighs
for
the
Pitchers
.
Breathd
out
,
in
a
Personal
Contribution
to
the
National
Humiliation
,
formally
begun
in
the
Cities
or
London
and
Westminster
,
the
last
of
May
,
1666.
'
Such
is
GODS
gratiousness
,
that
,
wheresoever
'
He
finds
a
Willingness
joynd
with
endeavour
To
please
or
to
appease
him
,
though
bat
small
,
(
And
in
it self
worth
no
respect
at
all
)
He
doth
accept
it
:
But
,
it
is
not
so
With
men
,
what
er'e
we
mean
,
or
say
,
or
do
.
For
,
most
so
pettish
are
;
that
ev'n
with
that
Which
to
their
own
well-being
doth
relate
,
They
quarrel
;
and
as
much
offended
are
With
what
,
unto
their
own
particular
Hath
no
relation
,
as
to
any
thing
Which
may
to
them
a
disadvantage
bring
.
Yea
,
so
inclind
are
,
to
be
discontent
With
Actions
,
and
with
words
indifferent
,
That
how
to
fit
all
humors
no
man
knows
What
ere
he
writes
,
be
it
in
Verse
or
Prose
.
Some
,
are
best
pleasd
with
this
,
and
some
with
that
,
With
nothing
some
;
or
,
with
we
know
not
what
,
Except
with
that
,
(
and
in
their
own
mode
drest
)
Whereby
their
Single
Fancies
are
exprest
.
If
,
I
may
freely
,
Truth
declare
in
either
,
To
me
,
it
is
indifferent
in
whether
:
Verse
cannot
be
so
justly
termd
unholy
As
they
,
who
think
so
,
may
be
chargd
with
folly
.
The
Libertie
,
I
therefore
,
at
this
time
,
Resume
,
to
vent
my
mind
in
Verse
and
Rime
As
heretofore
without
an
affectation
Of
what
,
is
this
day
,
with
most
men
in
fashion
;
And
,
what
I
purpose
to
contribute
now
,
Shall
be
such
private
Sighings
as
I
owe
To
Publick
sorrowings
;
not
such
,
as
may
,
Without
true
sense
thereof
,
be
puft
away
.
I
offer
not
,
now
Cures
are
to
be
done
,
That
,
which
will
prove
no
better
then
Herb-John
Or
Chipps
in
broth
;
nor
,
when
provide
I
should
Apparel
to
preserve
my
Friend
from
cold
,
Bring
them
such
thin
sleight
Garments
,
as
are
neither
Good
Silk
or
Cloth
,
but
Bawbles
patcht
together
,
Lace
,
Points
and
Ribbands
:
Nor
,
to
feed
them
,
set
A
platter
full
of
Sawces
without
meat
,
Or
,
with
so
little
,
and
so
trimd
about
With
Kickshawes
,
that
they
cannot
pick
it
out
:
Nor
give
the
Sick
,
when
they
for
health
endeavor
,
Such
Trash
,
as
may
beget
a
mortal
Feaver
;
Nor
Healing
Plasters
,
when
I
do
perceive
The
Patient
rather
needs
a
Corrosive
:
Nor
,
if
there
ought
improper
to
that
end
,
For
which
,
Humiliations
we
pretend
In
that
,
which
I
in
words
have
added
here
:
Either
peruse
it
therefore
,
or
,
give
ear
.
BEfore
a
Storm
is
actually
begun
,
Or
,
Symptoms
of
it
,
in
the
Skies
appear
;
Both
Birds
and
Beasts
,
for
shelter
fly
and
run
,
To
scape
the
Dangers
,
then
approaching
near
.
To
what
these
are
by
Sense
inclind
,
in
season
,
Men
are
assisted
(
for
their
preservations
)
By
Strong
Impulses
,
both
of
Grace
and
Reason
,
Till
they
neglect
,
or
sleight
those
Inclinations
.
And
to
the
Publick
safety
,
every
one
Owes
what
may
possibly
by
him
be
done
:
For
,
there
's
a
Portion
due
from
him
that
's
poor
,
Though
from
the
Rich
,
there
is
expected
more
.
2.
I
had
some
education
in
the
,
Schools
,
But
my
best
Teachings
,
came
another
way
,
And
,
neither
to
the
wisest
,
or
meer
Fools
,
Is
that
intended
which
I
have
to
say
.
My
Muse
is
to
a
midling-temper
fitted
,
What
suits
with
their
capacities
to
write
Who
,
(
not
much
under
or
much
over
witted
)
More
in
the
Matter
,
then
the
Words
delight
.
By
that
means
,
when
with
Trifles
I
begin
,
Things
useful
,
are
oft
,
thereby
Skrewed
in
,
Which
peradventure
,
had
not
else
been
sought
,
Where
,
they
appeard
more
likely
to
be
taught
:
What
I
but
to
one
end
,
at
first
intended
,
Occasions
many
Cautions
,
ere
't
is
ended
.
So
,
sometimes
,
twenty
businesses
are
done
,
By
him
,
who
went
from
home
,
to
do
but
one
.
3.
Sometimes
too
,
by
what
in
this
mode
is
hinted
,
(
On
sleight
occasions
in
a
Vulgar
Strain
)
Such
Notions
have
been
in
the
heart
imprinted
As
were
more
plausibly
exprest
in
vain
:
Yea
,
otherwhile
,
a
few
plain
words
,
in
season
,
Experimentally
in
private
spoke
,
More
operate
with
Sanctified
Reason
,
(
And
of
what
they
import
,
more
heed
is
took
)
Then
is
(
although
more
gloriously
arayd
)
Of
what
's
but
formally
,
in
publick
said
.
Now
therefore
,
I
contribue
thus
,
alone
,
To
what
was
this
day
,
publickly
begun
.
But
,
stay
!
what
Pannick
fear
hath
seizd
this
Nation
That
,
they
who
Triumphd
but
one
day
ago
,
Assume
the
Postures
of
Humiliation
,
And
Fast
and
Pray
,
at
least
,
pretend
thereto
?
Their
Jollitie
is
at
a
suddain
pause
,
And
to
the
Temples
,
they
begin
to
flock
;
God
make
th'
effect
,
as
real
as
the
cause
,
That
,
him
with
formal
showes
we
do
not
mock
,
Lest
Plagues
increase
,
and
when
of
what
is
better
,
We
are
in
hope
,
our
fears
grow
dayly
greater
:
For
,
till
our
sins
are
heartily
repented
,
By
Fasts
and
Prayers
,
Plagues
are
not
prevented
.
5.
Most
,
dedicated
this
moneths
first
Aurora
To
their
own
fleshly
Lusts
;
and
spent
the
day
In
sacrificing
to
the
Strumpet
Flora
,
Which
was
by
some
employd
another
way
,
Perhaps
though
not
Prophane
,
more
superstitious
Then
holy
:
for
,
all
is
not
sanctifide
That
is
not
vulgarly
reputed
vitious
;
Nor
all
unholy
,
which
will
not
abide
A
Sanctuary-Test
:
But
,
somwhat
hath
Doubtless
,
been
acted
which
provokes
Gods
wrath
Against
our
Nation
,
since
this
Month
begun
,
That
brings
us
on
our
knees
,
before
't
is
done
.
6.
Our
Safety
,
Peace
and
Glory
lie
at
stake
;
And
,
we
are
forced
such
a
Game
to
play
,
As
makes
us
tremble
,
and
our
hearts
to
ake
Twixt
hope
and
fear
of
that
which
follow
may
:
Ev'n
they
,
who
lately
foolishly
did
boast
,
And
with
proud
Vaunts
and
scorns
contemn
their
Foes
,
Do
find
,
that
Recknings
made
without
their
hoast
,
Arise
to
more
then
they
did
presuppose
.
Of
Foes
without
them
,
their
regard
was
small
;
Of
those
within
them
,
less
,
or
none
at
all
:
But
,
now
,
to
be
assaulted
,
they
begin
With
outward
perils
,
and
with
fears
within
.
7.
Beyond
reteating
we
ingaged
are
With
forraign
enemies
;
and
not
quite
free
From
Factions
,
threatning
an
intestine
War
,
If
our
Presumings
unsuccessfull
be
.
As
foes
do
multiply
,
so
,
friends
grow
fewer
;
And
,
in
those
few
,
there
is
but
little
trust
:
For
,
none
can
in
another
be
secure
Who
,
to
himself
is
neither
kind
nor
just
.
War
is
begun
;
the
Pestilence
doth
spread
;
And
,
though
of
Dearth
we
feel
but
little
dread
,
They
,
by
whose
Labours
,
plenty
was
increast
,
Are
by
a
wasting
Poverty
opprest
.
8.
The
Rich
are
discontent
,
the
Poor
much
grievd
:
The
first
have
small
hope
to
be
better
pleasd
;
The
last
as
little
hope
to
be
relievd
,
And
most
men
are
grown
stupidly
diseasd
.
Men
with
Ill
tidings
in
all
places
meet
,
Bewailing
loss
of
Goods
,
or
want
of
Trade
:
All
day
they
hear
complainings
in
the
street
;
All
night
,
they
and
their
Families
are
sad
.
Hereof
,
they
upon
others
lay
the
blame
Who
have
been
chief
deservers
of
the
same
:
Most
,
apprehend
a
general
Distress
,
But
,
no
man
knows
which
way
to
make
it
less
.
2.
They
,
who
should
act
,
or
mediate
at
least
,
Some
course
to
stop
the
fury
of
the
Current
,
Finde
,
it
will
most
advance
their
Interest
,
To
be
at
this
time
Fishing
in
the
Torrent
.
They
,
who
have
now
most
cause
,
least
frighted
be
:
Those
few
alone
,
who
with
a
filial
fear
And
Christian
hope
,
Gods
purposes
foresee
,
Submissive
to
his
Dispensations
are
:
The
rest
are
active
still
,
in
their
own
mode
,
As
if
in
their
own
power
their
safety
stood
;
Or
,
that
it
might
be
wrought
,
by
their
own
hand
,
If
(
as
t
was
once
said
)
GOD
would
Neuter
stand
.
16.
For
our
defence
,
a
Naval
preparation
Is
made
,
as
strong
,
as
ever
heretofore
In
any
Age
,
was
modeld
by
this
Nation
;
Yea
,
stronger
much
,
though
not
in
number
more
.
And
,
if
they
who
thereof
have
management
,
Shall
not
thereon
(
as
if
it
could
not
fail
)
Or
,
in
themselves
,
be
over-confident
,
It
may
against
our
ablest
Foes
prevail
:
But
,
not
unless
,
we
timely
lay
aside
Our
malice
,
our
profaness
,
and
our
pride
,
Which
by
the
Lord
of
hosts
,
are
so
abhord
,
That
,
they
destroy
more
,
then
both
fire
and
sword
.
11.
In
mournings
,
we
so
little
do
delight
,
That
,
whatsoever
sad
event
befals
,
Which
to
humiliation
doth
invite
,
It
seldom
supersedes
our
Festivals
.
A
Fast
therefore
,
so
near
a
Feast
begins
,
To
moderate
our
Mirth
,
and
make
us
minde
A
true
and
speedy
mourning
for
those
sins
Whereto
we
have
been
,
and
are
still
inclinde
.
A
change
of
Feasts
to
fastings
threatned
was
,
Which
is
within
a
little
come
to
pass
;
And
,
that
,
may
peradventure
be
effected
Which
we
most
fear
,
when
it
is
least
expected
.
12.
Hereof
the
Civil
powers
having
sense
,
And
,
fearing
what
might
probably
befal
,
Unless
,
we
strengthned
are
by
Providence
Much
more
,
then
by
their
moving
wooden-wall
;
They
lately
summond
us
by
Proclamations
To
meet
,
and
on
the
last
of
May
begin
In
our
head-Cities
,
such
Humiliations
As
may
declare
a
true
Remorse
for
sin
.
Early
that
morning
,
likewise
,
lest
we
might
Their
summons
,
either
then
forget
,
or
slight
,
GOD
,
seconded
their
Act
,
and
from
our
beds
With
Peals
of
Thunders
,
raisd
our
drowzie
heads
.
13
If
I
was
not
deceivd
,
five
hours
together
That
Summons
lasted
,
(
with
few
Intervals
)
Made
signal
by
Rain
,
Lightning
,
Stormy
weather
,
And
Thunderbolts
,
which
pierced
through
stone-wals
.
It
brake
and
melted
Bells
;
consumd
a
Steeple
;
Scard
Fowls
and
Beasts
,
yea
,
and
afraid
did
make
Even
them
,
among
those
unrelenting
People
,
Who
,
heed
of
nought
but
smart
and
noise
will
take
;
And
in
security
again
sleep
on
Assoon
as
ere
the
pain
or
noise
is
gone
.
Alas
!
what
horrours
will
such
men
confound
,
When
they
shall
hear
the
seventh
Trumpet
sound
?
14.
I
did
obey
this
Call
;
and
knowing
too
,
That
in
the
common
peace
,
mine
doth
consist
,
In
meekness
,
I
prepard
my
heart
,
to
do
What
might
secure
the
common
Interest
.
The
best
have
failings
,
and
the
worst
have
more
;
Though
therefore
they
oft
erre
,
who
are
in
powre
,
With
their
defects
,
we
must
our
own
deplore
:
For
oftentimes
their
faults
take
root
from
our
.
King
Davids
crime
sprung
from
the
Peoples
sin
;
For
his
offence
,
a
Plague
on
them
broke
in
:
Thus
,
to
each
other
,
men
of
each
degree
,
A
mutual
cause
,
of
sins
and
suffrings
be
.
15.
This
makes
me
the
more
cautious
,
to
take
heed
Wherein
,
I
personally
give
offence
;
And
,
ere
I
censure
that
which
others
did
,
Bewail
mine
own
misdeeds
with
penitence
.
All
of
us
have
offended
,
(
if
not
more
)
As
much
as
our
forefathers
have
transgrest
:
Some
,
with
more
Impudence
,
then
heretofore
;
And
,
my
sins
,
have
the
common
guilt
increast
:
My self
,
to
humble
therefore
,
I
went
thither
Where
good
and
bad
men
congregate
together
;
And
,
where
,
the
worst
are
,
or
(
before
they
die
)
May
be
,
for
ought
I
know
,
more
just
then
I.
16.
He
seems
to
me
,
unlikely
to
appease
The
wrath
of
GOD
,
or
mortifide
to
be
,
Who
,
offers
Prayers
like
that
Pharisees
,
Who
judg'd
the
Publican
less
just
then
he
.
There
is
no
sign
of
true
Humiliations
,
But
,
of
a
proud
self-overweening
rather
In
those
,
who
judge
unclean
whole
Congregations
Who
with
them
,
serve
one
Spirit
,
Son
and
Father
;
And
(
although
members
of
another
Colledge
)
Adore
one
GOD
according
to
their
knowledge
.
According
unto
mine
,
therefore
,
with
them
I
joynd
in
Love
,
and
left
their
doom
to
him
.
17.
I
dare
not
such
a
separation
make
Twixt
persons
,
things
or
places
,
as
may
bar
A
freedom
in
those
Duties
to
partake
Which
necessary
or
expedient
are
.
When
sins
and
Plagues
grow
Epidemical
,
It
such
Humiliations
then
requires
,
As
may
in
that
respect
,
be
general
:
For
,
private
tears
quench
not
the
publike
Fires
.
In
all
Fraternities
and
Constitutions
,
Among
men
,
are
both
errours
and
pollutions
;
Yet
safe
converse
,
for
pious
men
hath
bin
With
such
,
(
even
then
)
in
all
things
,
but
their
sin
.
18.
With
others
,
I
preferred
those
petitions
VVhich
with
Christs
prayr
assentially
agree
;
VVith
them
,
I
joyned
in
all
those
confessions
That
seemed
proper
both
to
them
and
me
.
Their
persons
I
did
much
commiserate
,
Who
were
in
hazard
by
the
War
now
wag'd
:
With
GOD
,
I
meekly
did
expostulate
Concerning
that
wherein
we
are
engag'd
.
For
others
sakes
,
those
fears
my
fears
I
made
,
Whereof
,
no
sense
,
for
self-respects
I
had
;
And
wished
all
their
hopes
might
be
enjoyd
Whereby
,
their
true
bliss
might
not
be
destroyd
.
19.
Although
particulars
inclusive
are
In
Vniversals
;
yet
,
they
who
neglect
Their
single
Duties
,
justly
loose
their
share
In
what
the
general
Devoirs
effect
.
I
have
contributed
my
best
endeavour
,
To
what
I
think
is
publickly
intended
,
And
in
that
duty
purpose
to
persever
Which
is
to
my
performance
recommended
.
For
all
things
,
and
all
men
(
so
far
as
they
Are
objects
of
our
Prayers
)
I
do
pray
;
And
,
when
I
doubt
,
what
to
insist
upon
,
Conclude
my
prayer
thus
:
GODS
will
be
done
.
20.
Their
welfare
seeking
,
who
would
me
enslave
,
The
person
I
distinguish
from
his
Crime
;
And
rather
would
a
wicked
people
save
,
Then
let
the
Righteous
be
destroyd
with
them
.
To
their
proceeds
in
wickedness
,
I
say
GOOD
speed
to
none
;
and
whensoere
,
therefore
I
pray
against
their
sins
,
for
them
I
pray
:
Yea
,
when
they
seem
worst
,
pray
for
them
the
more
.
When
LOT
was
prisner
among
Sodomites
,
Against
their
Foes
,
to
free
him
,
Abram
fights
.
When
universal
Plagues
on
us
befal
,
Not
knowing
good
from
bad
,
I
pray
for
all
.
21.
I
have
a
long
time
taken
so
much
heed
Both
of
GODS
righteous
,
and
our
crooked
ways
,
That
,
whatsoere
doth
outwardly
succeed
,
I
finde
just
cause
to
give
him
hearty
praise
.
So
oft
,
experience
I
have
likewise
had
,
My
losses
,
wants
,
and
those
things
which
I
feard
,
To
have
been
unto
me
more
gainful
made
,
Then
such
,
as
more
desirable
appeard
;
That
,
whensoere
GOD
granteth
or
denies
,
My
soul
is
pleasd
,
and
on
his
love
relies
.
For
,
when
they
seemed
most
severe
to
be
,
His
Judgements
have
been
Mercies
unto
me
.
22.
Such
they
were
,
such
they
are
,
such
will
be
still
,
Not
unto
me
,
and
to
some
few
alone
;
But
,
if
they
be
submissive
to
his
will
,
Such
likewise
,
at
all
times
,
to
every
one
:
And
,
though
he
grants
not
always
that
Request
,
Which
is
preferred
,
he
doth
condescend
To
what
is
better
;
yea
,
to
what
may
best
Conduce
to
what
we
chiefly
should
intend
.
If
,
what
we
pray
for
,
he
denies
to
grant
,
Humility
,
or
Faith
,
or
Love
we
want
;
Or
else
,
there
are
some
other
great
defects
,
In
those
Petitioners
,
whom
GOD
rejects
.
23.
Sins
National
,
so
far
forth
as
they
were
Confest
in
Publike
,
I
with
those
confest
To
whom
I
joynd
;
and
in
particular
,
If
possible
,
they
ought
to
be
exprest
.
I
know
we
are
obliged
at
this
time
(
Considering
why
together
we
did
come
)
To
mention
such
,
(
or
part
at
least
of
them
)
As
brought
what
we
would
be
deliverd
from
.
I
hope
such
were
acknowledged
by
many
;
But
,
since
I
heard
it
not
performd
by
any
,
I
will
enumerate
some
few
of
those
Provoking
sins
,
from
whence
most
danger
flows
.
For
,
GOD
,
at
this
time
over
all
the
Land
Hath
in
displeasure
stretched
forth
his
hand
;
And
for
our
sins
,
doth
strike
us
,
here
and
there
With
every
Judgement
,
yea
,
and
every
where
.
24.
We
are
a
Nation
to
whom
God
hath
given
As
many
priviledges
,
as
bestown
On
any
people
that
is
under
Heaven
:
But
,
therewithal
more
proud
,
then
thankful
grown
.
VVe
overween
,
as
if
we
thought
none
were
Our
equals
;
and
with
so
much
impudence
Our selves
before
our
Neighbours
do
prefer
,
That
,
more
Disgrace
then
Honor
springs
from
thence
.
Some
vaunt
as
if
none
ought
to
be
compar'd
VVith
them
,
in
what
is
by
their
valour
dar'd
;
And
,
some
,
as
if
none
went
or
knew
the
way
VVhereby
,
men
shall
ascend
to
heavn
,
but
they
.
25.
If
what
GOD
hath
conferd
,
or
for
us
done
VVere
mentioned
,
to
stir
up
thankfulness
In
us
;
or
to
advance
his
praise
alone
,
Thence
would
spring
many
great
advantages
.
But
that
which
most
men
rather
do
pursue
,
Is
but
before
mens
eyes
a
Blinde
to
raise
,
And
,
hide
their
shameful
nakedness
from
view
;
Or
,
blow
the
Bubbles
of
an
empty
praise
.
And
,
(
as
if
we
were
not
befoold
enough
,
VVith
such
ridiculous
and
frothy
stuff
)
In
Ballads
,
which
are
for
such
objects
meet
,
VVe
sing
out
our
own
shame
,
in
every
street
.
26
Perhaps
in
suchlike
things
the
neighbring
Nations
Opposing
us
,
as
guilty
are
as
we
:
But
,
our
own
sins
,
in
our
Humiliations
Is
that
,
which
to
confess
,
oblig'd
we
be
.
Our
sins
,
our
sins
,
are
horrid
,
great
and
many
,
Those
Plagues
too
,
which
they
bring
on
us
,
are
great
;
VVhereof
,
there
is
not
so
much
fense
in
any
,
As
ought
to
be
,
nor
such
confessions
,
yet
.
So
loth
we
are
that
other
men
should
see
(
Or
,
we
ourselves
)
in
what
sad
case
we
be
,
That
,
we
our
scabs
and
sores
had
rather
hide
VVith
any
Clouts
,
then
let
them
be
espide
.
27.
So
loth
we
are
,
in
that
course
to
proceed
,
VVhich
GOD
and
Reason
offers
to
our
heed
;
So
apt
,
to
take
the
clean
contrary
way
;
To
heed
,
what
every
Mountebanck
doth
say
;
So
ventrous
,
any
hazard
to
endure
,
VVhich
our
enjoyments
present
may
secure
;
So
prone
with
Bugbears
to
be
frighted
from
VVhat
may
secure
a
happiness
to
come
;
And
,
are
so
wilful
in
pursuing
things
VVhich
every
day
,
more
mischiefs
on
us
brings
,
That
,
very
seldom
we
approve
of
that
VVhich
may
be
for
our
good
,
till
t
is
too
late
.
28.
And
then
,
surprised
with
a
sudden
,
dread
,
To
any
God
,
to
any
Idol
run
;
Move
every
way
,
like
Dors
without
a
Head
;
Do
every
thing
save
that
which
should
be
done
:
Catch
hold
on
sticks
,
and
reeds
,
and
chips
&
straws
,
To
save
our selves
;
descend
,
to
sawn
on
those
VVhom
we
contemn'd
;
and
to
support
our
cause
,
Against
old
Friends
,
confederate
with
Foes
;
Yea
,
with
the
greatest
enemy
of
Christ
;
And
,
rather
hazard
all
our
Interest
In
him
,
then
here
to
be
deprivd
of
that
Which
we
enjoyed
,
and
have
aimed
at
.
29.
VVe
are
so
much
inclined
to
rely
Upon
the
trustless
and
bewitching
Charms
Of
State-designs
and
humane
policie
,
On
Armies
,
Fleets
,
and
strength
of
our
own
Arms
,
That
we
are
deafer
then
th'inchanted
Adder
,
To
those
who
shew
to
us
the
way
of
peace
;
Good
counsel
maketh
us
to
be
the
madder
,
And
,
doth
but
raging
violence
increase
.
Yet
,
they
who
know
they
shall
not
be
excusd
From
doing
their
endeavour
,
though
abusd
,
Must
speak
what
on
their
Consciences
doth
lie
,
Whatere
thereby
befals
;
and
so
will
I.
30.
Such
times
have
be●n
,
and
such
are
come
agen
,
Wherein
,
the
Sluggard
to
the
Ant
was
sent
;
The
Wise
instructed
were
by
simple
men
How
to
reform
their
wayes
when
they
miswent
.
GOD
,
by
them
,
Kings
reprovd
,
ev'n
for
their
sake
Whom
they
had
then
inslav'd
;
and
they
were
heard
.
Yea
,
unto
Balaam
,
by
his
Ass
he
spake
,
And
,
at
that
present
he
escapd
the
Sword
:
But
they
who
to
their
words
gave
no
regard
,
Receivd
their
obstinacies
due
Reward
.
They
,
who
were
penitent
escapd
the
blow
Which
then
was
threatned
;
so
shall
all
such
now
.
31.
Ore
them
a
very
dreadful
Plague
impends
Whom
to
the
will
of
men
,
GOD
,
doth
expose
,
Though
such
they
be
whom
they
suppose
their
friends
And
,
have
thereof
made
fair
external
shows
.
A
greater
Plague
it
is
,
when
known
foes
are
Impowred
upon
them
to
excercise
All
cruelties
,
and
outrages
of
War
Which
rage
will
act
,
and
malice
can
devise
.
But
,
when
so
terrible
a
doom
as
this
,
And
mercie
too
,
much
and
oft
sleighted
is
,
It
will
be
then
more
horrible
then
all
That
can
be
thought
,
into
Gods
hands
to
fall
.
32.
Alas
!
how
shall
this
horrour
be
prevented
,
If
none
in
such
a
time
should
silence
break
?
VVhen
should
what
is
misacted
be
repented
,
Unless
,
to
that
intent
the
stones
could
speak
?
And
,
what
may
they
speak
likely
to
prevail
Upon
a
Generation
grown
so
giddy
?
The
Stars
to
do
their
duty
did
not
fail
;
The
Elements
have
often
spoke
already
,
And
acted
in
their
place
,
as
well
as
spoken
What
might
our
duties
,
and
Gods
minde
betoken
;
Yea
,
so
much
,
and
so
oft
,
that
what
they
heard
Or
saw
,
few
men
did
credit
or
regard
.
33.
Hereby
are
blessings
turnd
into
a
curse
;
Those
hardned
,
whom
it
should
have
softned
more
;
They
who
were
bad
before
,
grow
to
be
worse
;
Some
wicked
,
who
seemd
good
men
,
heretofore
.
Our
sins
are
as
immoveable
as
Rocks
;
Our
Guides
and
Leaders
,
either
lame
or
blinde
;
The
Shepherds
as
great
straglers
as
the
Flocks
,
And
both
alike
,
to
wickedness
inclinde
.
That
,
which
we
thought
should
make
us
,
doth
undo
us
,
All
things
do
seem
to
cry
VVo
wo
unto
us
:
And
,
that
which
should
have
movd
men
to
repent
Doth
but
their
Rage
and
Blasphemies
augment
.
34.
Most
,
against
those
by
whom
they
were
offended
Are
so
imbitterd
,
that
although
in
them
They
see
performances
to
be
commended
,
Such
,
naytheless
,
they
totally
condemn
:
Yea
,
those
who
have
ingenuously
confest
What
seems
to
be
in
these
worth
approbation
,
They
judge
to
be
Time-pleasers
,
not
the
best
;
VVhich
is
a
bar
to
Reconciliation
.
Our
Proverb
bids
us
give
the
devil
his
due
;
And
,
they
the
ways
to
peace
,
do
not
pursue
VVho
are
unwilling
,
in
their
Foes
,
to
see
Good
things
,
as
well
as
those
that
evil
be
.
35.
The
Knowledge
men
have
gotten
hath
destroyd
That
Love
,
which
ought
thereby
to
be
increast
.
The
Publick
peace
,
that
might
have
been
enjoyd
,
Is
vitiated
by
Self-interest
.
The
Gospel
is
abusd
,
Law
made
a
snare
,
Or
,
of
Unrighteousness
a
confirmation
:
The
Consciences
of
men
inslaved
are
,
To
nothing
left
so
free
as
Prophanation
.
The
Rich
do
quarrel
,
and
the
Poor
must
fight
,
To
serve
their
Lusts
,
who
do
them
little
right
;
And
they
whose
Lives
to
pawn
for
them
are
laid
,
With
Deaths
or
VVounds
,
or
with
neglect
are
paid
.
36.
Religion
is
to
Policy
become
A
servile
Handmaid
;
and
few
persons
are
Conceivd
to
be
so
dangerous
as
some
,
VVho
are
in
Christian
Piety
sincere
.
Now
,
not
to
be
like
others
Superstitious
,
Or
to
be
strict
in
moral
Righteousness
,
Gives
cause
of
more
suspect
then
to
be
vitious
;
Or
else
,
at
least
,
it
them
ingratiates
less
.
Foundations
are
so
overthrown
,
that
few
Are
safe
in
whatsoever
they
pursue
:
For
,
liberty
,
life
,
credit
,
and
estate
,
In
hazzard
are
by
all
that
aim
thereat
.
37.
Pickt
Juries
,
and
suborned
VVitnesses
May
,
if
assisted
then
with
partial
udges
,
Bring
quickly
to
destruction
,
whom
they
pleases
;
Frustrate
all
Laws
,
and
all
our
priviledges
:
And
(
what
was
never
heretofore
in
Reason
Thought
probable
)
charge
falsly
upon
some
The
plotting
and
pursuing
Plots
of
Treason
At
open
meetings
whither
all
may
come
.
In
likelihood
,
they
have
nor
wit
,
nor
fear
,
Nor
need
be
feared
,
who
so
foolish
are
:
And
,
I
might
of
my
fear
be
much
ashamed
If
I
should
fear
such
Plots
,
as
then
were
framed
.
38
VVho
erre
in
malice
,
or
to
get
reward
,
Shall
forge
an
Accusation
,
though
it
be
Improbable
,
with
favour
shall
be
heard
,
VVhen
none
seems
guilty
of
the
Plot
but
he
.
They
,
who
of
all
men
do
least
conscience
make
Of
Perjury
,
at
pleasure
may
destroy
An
Innocent
.
They
who
false
Oathes
dare
take
May
rob
rich
men
of
all
they
do
enjoy
.
The
Lyar
is
not
out
of
danger
ever
;
But
,
he
that
speaks
truth
boldly
,
is
safe
never
Until
his
death
,
unless
by
God
protected
From
what
may
be
by
wicked
men
projected
.
39.
This
also
,
doth
increasing
Plagues
pretoken
,
(
Unless
we
to
repair
it
speedy
are
)
The
Bond
of
Christian
Charity
is
broken
,
And
brotherly
affection
lost
well-near
.
Both
Persons
and
Societies
seek
more
Their
several
new
Structures
to
uphold
,
Then
Disciplines
and
Doctrines
to
restore
Unto
that
purity
which
was
of
old
.
From
hence
doth
spring
impair
of
peace
and
health
In
minde
and
body
,
Church
and
Commonwealth
,
For
,
though
few
heed
it
,
thence
our
private
Jars
At
first
proceeded
,
and
then
,
open
VVars
.
40.
All
Constitutions
both
in
Church
and
State
Are
,
for
the
most
part
,
made
but
properties
To
add
a
grandeur
,
and
repute
to
that
VVhich
pride
and
avarice
did
first
devise
.
Not
those
alone
,
which
may
essential
seem
Unto
the
Civil
powre
;
but
also
,
some
Which
have
among
Divine
Rites
most
esteem
,
Are
serviceable
to
the
flesh
become
.
Prophand
is
every
holy
Ordinance
,
Self-profit
or
self-honour
to
advance
:
Yea
,
ev'n
the
Lords
day
and
the
Sacraments
Are
made
expedients
for
the
same
intents
.
41.
Judgements
&
Mercies
have
not
in
their
course
Wrought
that
on
us
,
which
they
were
sent
to
do
:
For
,
what
should
make
us
better
,
makes
us
worse
,
And
others
by
our
ill
examples
,
too
.
Good
counsels
timely
given
we
have
slighted
,
Scoft
and
derided
seasnable
forewarnings
,
Neglecting
that
,
whereto
we
were
invited
Both
by
our
own
and
other
mens
discernings
:
And
,
if
these
failings
be
not
heeded
more
Now
,
and
in
time
to
come
,
then
heretofore
,
The
Consequents
,
will
not
much
better
be
Whether
the
Dutch
are
Conquerours
,
or
we
.
42.
Those
Animosities
we
must
repent
Which
are
pretended
to
be
laid
aside
;
Else
pride
and
malice
will
so
much
augment
Those
Practices
which
more
and
more
divide
,
That
,
as
the
ruine
of
Jerusalem
Had
been
compleated
when
the
time
was
come
By
those
three
,
Factions
,
which
then
wasted
them
,
Although
it
had
not
been
destroyd
by
Rome
:
So
,
though
we
should
subdue
French
,
Dutch
&
Dane
,
Our
own
distempers
would
become
our
bane
;
And
,
that
which
others
are
inclind
unto
,
Our
follies
and
our
wilfulness
will
do
.
43.
The
breach
of
Covenants
,
of
Faith
and
Oathes
We
must
lament
,
and
from
that
falshood
turn
:
For
,
GOD
that
capital
transgression
loathes
;
Oathes
,
(
now
,
if
ever
)
make
the
land
to
mourn
,
We
must
confess
our
sin
of
bloudshed
too
,
The
Blood
of
Innocents
much
more
bewail
,
And
our
oppressing
them
,
then
yet
we
do
;
Else
,
of
our
expectations
we
shall
fail
.
For
,
to
no
more
a
bare
confession
tends
,
Then
to
increase
our
guilt
,
without
amends
.
He
that
neglects
performing
what
he
knows
To
be
his
duty
,
merits
nought
out
blows
.
44.
We
have
moreover
,
failings
by
omissions
Which
it
concerns
us
to
be
humbled
for
No
less
then
for
those
actual
transgressions
Which
we
are
now
engaged
to
abhor
:
Not
one
day
,
no
not
one
year
will
suffice
To
recollect
them
.
And
yet
if
we
would
Our selves
but
so
much
humble
as
it
lies
In
us
,
GOD
,
would
accept
of
what
we
could
.
Hereof
apparent
evidences
are
In
Nineveh
and
Nebuchadnezzar
:
For
by
these
Paterns
,
King
and
People
too
Instructed
are
,
what
in
our
case
to
do
.
45.
When
that
King
,
for
his
sins
had
been
bereaven
Of
understanding
,
and
for
sevn
years
space
,
To
live
with
Beasts
,
was
from
his
Kingdom
driven
,
And
re-inthroned
,
when
unlikely
t
was
;
Himself
he
did
abase
,
Gods
powre
confess
Acknowledge
him
,
to
be
in
chief
ador'd
;
Declare
that
powre
extol
his
righteousness
And
that
Free
grace
,
by
which
he
was
restor'd
:
Yea
,
praised
him
for
their
de●iverance
Whom
he
himself
opprest
;
them
did
advance
Who
suffred
;
and
reverst
that
Law
whereby
He
had
compeld
them
to
Idolatry
.
46.
This
signal
Patern
of
Humiliation
Was
Royal
;
but
,
by
one
both
popular
And
Regal
,
unto
what
beseems
a
Nation
In
our
condition
,
we
directed
are
.
At
Nineveh
,
there
was
not
in
a
day
,
Like
this
,
some
in
the
Temples
GOD
adoring
,
Some
there
,
inclined
more
to
sleep
then
pray
,
Some
,
in
an
Alehouse
,
or
a
Tavern
roaring
;
Some
,
who
did
of
their
duties
Conscience
make
,
Some
who
perform'd
it
,
but
for
fashion
sake
:
But
I
believe
,
that
with
more
Veneration
They
testified
their
Humiliation
.
47.
Both
King
and
People
joyned
there
as
One
In
penitence
,
net
being
less
fincere
Then
formal
in
pursuing
what
was
done
.
Strict
their
commands
and
executions
were
.
The
King
,
his
rich
Apparel
from
him
cast
(
By
good
Examples
,
precepts
are
made
strong
)
He
,
and
his
Nobles
did
proclaim
a
Fast
,
VVith
all
the
Rites
,
that
to
a
Fast
belong
.
The
Prophet
was
believd
,
in
what
he
said
;
The
Royal
Proclamation
was
obeyd
.
God
,
thereto
had
so
gratious
a
regard
That
,
King
and
People
thereupon
he
spard
.
48.
Alas
!
how
comes
it
that
now
Christian
men
,
Are
deaf
to
what
GODS
Messengers
do
say
?
Not
so
meek-hearted
as
those
Heathens
then
?
More
dead
in
Sins
and
Trespasses
then
they
.
Imperfect
was
their
Penitence
,
no
doubt
,
Yet
God
accepted
what
they
did
endever
,
And
(
though
perhaps
,
their
zeal
did
soon
burn
out
,
)
He
,
in
vouchsafing
mercy
did
presever
.
So
might
it
be
with
us
,
if
we
would
heed
His
judgements
,
and
perform
what
Ethnicks
did
:
For
,
GOD
,
upon
a
Formal
penitence
,
Did
with
a
part
of
Ahabs
doom
dispence
.
49.
But
,
though
we
have
as
much
cause
to
bewail
Our
sad
condition
,
we
have
much
less
fear
.
And
little
or
no
sence
of
what
we
all
Until
with
mischief
overwhelmd
well-near
.
Then
,
likewise
,
we
endeavour
all
we
can
To
hide
what
cannot
cured
be
till
known
,
Dissembling
grosly
,
both
with
GOD
and
Man
,
And
will
not
see
what
's
evidently
shown
.
Yea
,
so
presumptuous
are
,
that
,
now
GOD
sends
His
Judgements
,
and
his
Arm
in
wrath
extends
,
VVe
labour
to
obscure
it
,
lest
the
heeding
Of
his
Proceeds
,
may
hinder
our
proceeding
.
50.
And
as
among
the
Jews
in
former
ages
There
were
false
Prophets
and
corrupted
Priests
,
VVho
prophecid
and
preachd
for
Balaams
wages
,
And
to
promote
their
carnal
Interests
,
Then
Flatterd
them
into
Security
:
So
we
have
some
among
us
,
who
as
much
Do
magnifie
this
Nations
Piety
As
if
it
never
had
till
now
been
such
.
They
boast
of
our
prosperities
encrease
,
And
promise
us
both
Victories
and
Peace
,
As
if
vain
words
believd
should
rather
be
Then
what
we
feel
,
as
well
,
as
hear
and
see
.
15.
Though
sensible
enough
of
sin
we
are
not
To
humble
us
;
or
though
Plagues
yet
deferd
(
How
near
at
hand
soever
)
we
much
fear
not
,
Nor
thereby
for
this
duty
are
prepard
:
Methinks
the
loss
of
so
much
blood
and
Treasure
As
hath
been
spent
;
At
home
,
decay
of
Trade
And
Manufactures
in
so
large
a
measure
;
Abroad
in
Colonies
,
the
havock
made
Should
humble
us
,
or
that
at
least
,
which
hath
More
cause
of
dread
then
War
,
or
sudden
Death
,
To
wit
,
a
PRESS
,
whereby
some
grieved
are
,
More
then
by
all
the
worst
events
of
War.
2.
For
,
War
is
pleasing
to
those
Voluntaries
,
Who
,
Wealth
or
Honor
,
hope
thereby
to
gaine
;
Through
every
difficulty
them
it
carries
With
very
little
sense
of
dread
or
pain
.
By
Suddain
Death
likewi●e
all
Plagues
are
ended
Which
Sin
,
or
Folly
on
our
bodies
bring
;
Yea
,
thereby
finished
ere
apprehended
,
In
which
respect
,
no
very
dreadful
thing
.
But
,
to
be
snatcht
at
unawares
away
,
From
all
Relations
by
a
Suddain
PRESS
,
And
,
from
all
our
Affairs
,
as
at
this
day
,
Is
more
injurious
,
then
words
can
express
.
Whole
Families
,
thereby
destroyd
become
;
In
soul
and
body
,
it
tormenteth
some
;
And
,
thereby
greater
Griefs
occasiond
are
Then
do
befal
,
by
life
or
death
,
in
War.
54.
I
know
well
that
,
the
Civil
powrs
intend
The
prosecution
of
those
Services
Which
to
their
Substitutes
they
recommend
,
Should
be
pursu'd
without
just
Grievances
:
And
,
to
inform
us
in
this
very
case
,
(
Of
taking
men
to
serve
them
in
the
Wars
)
A
Law
among
the
Jews
establisht
was
To
be
our
Guide
in
some
particulars
:
Let
it
observed
be
,
lest
that
Oppression
Which
is
occasioned
by
indiscretion
,
Those
persons
to
our
damage
may
inrage
,
Whom
we
think
,
for
our
safety
to
ingage
.
55.
With
others
I
did
publickly
be
mone
Those
things
which
we
ought
joyntly
to
deplore
;
And
,
in
my
Spirit
,
I
lament
alone
That
for
mine
own
Sins
,
I
can
sigh
no
more
.
I
sigh
for
those
two
Pitchers
,
which
are
knocking
Against
each
other
,
when
they
mind
not
me
;
Yea
,
when
some
are
,
perhaps
,
my
sighings
mocking
,
Or
,
not
well
pleasd
with
my
good
meanings
be
.
I
sigh
to
see
their
Charity
decrease
Who
are
pretenders
to
Religiousness
;
Not
for
my self
,
though
I
perceive
t
is
grown
Less
then
it
was
,
five
shillings
in
a
Crown
.
56.
I
have
now
,
somwhat
more
then
fifty
years
,
Been
oft
mine
own
and
your
Remembrancer
;
And
whilst
I
live
,
as
oft
(
as
cause
appears
)
Resolved
am
such
Cautions
to
prefer
.
For
since
GOD
hath
so
long
preservd
me
from
A
total
Ruine
in
such
Services
,
I
will
continue
during
life
to
come
Whilst
I
see
need
,
in
services
like
these
,
Not
doubting
but
his
Mercy
shall
outlast
The
Time
to
come
as
well
as
what
is
past
;
And
,
still
,
as
comfortably
be
enjoyd
,
Though
life
in
their
pursute
should
be
destroyd
.
57.
This
,
I
have
therefore
,
now
contributed
In
private
to
what
publickly
was
done
.
With
hopefulness
,
that
when
it
shall
be
read
It
will
to
good
effect
be
thought
upon
:
For
in
the
common
Lot
,
I
shall
have
part
,
To
whatsoever
the
success
may
tend
,
And
dare
to
arrogate
no
self-desart
,
More
then
they
justly
may
,
who
most
offend
.
From
Publick
sins
my self
I
count
not
free
;
What
is
in
others
bad
,
is
worse
in
me
,
Since
,
he
whom
GOD
so
many
years
hath
taught
,
If
bad
,
is
worse
then
others
who
are
naught
.
58.
Yet
,
as
there
is
no
Righteousness
in
me
,
That
,
may
with
safety
be
confided
in
;
So
,
whatsoere
the
Common
Plagues
may
be
,
In
me
there
is
no
slavish
fear
of
sin
:
For
,
in
Gods
Promise
,
and
his
Mediation
Who
hath
Redeemed
me
,
I
,
so
confide
,
That
,
I
despair
not
of
a
Soul-salvation
,
Whatever
to
my
Body
shall
betide
,
And
,
know
,
that
,
whilst
to
live
,
more
then
to
die
,
Shall
tend
to
what
GODS
name
may
glorifie
,
My
life
shall
comfortably
be
enjoyd
When
thousands
round
about
me
are
destroyd
;
And
that
all
,
who
are
firm
in
this
belief
,
Shall
see
a
glad
end
of
their
present
Grief
.
Lord
in
that
patience
keep
me
alway
strong
,
Which
,
to
the
Saints
probation
doth
belong
.
50.
There
was
a
Promise
made
long
time
ago
,
To
some
,
who
then
in
our
condition
were
,
(
And
,
in
what
they
were
to
believe
,
and
do
,
As
much
as
they
,
we
now
concerned
are
.
)
To
them
,
it
by
GODS
Prophet
was
declard
That
,
from
their
wickedness
if
they
returned
,
One
with
a
Writers
Inkhorn
was
prepard
To
set
a
Mark
on
all
who
truely
mourned
,
Assuring
all
who
had
his
Mark
upon
them
That
when
the
common
Judgements
seized
on
them
It
should
not
harm
them
,
as
to
that
,
at
least
,
In
which
a
real
safety
,
doth
consist
.
60.
That
Mark
is
set
on
thousands
at
this
day
,
And
many
Writers
hither
have
been
sent
To
shew
it
,
and
inform
us
how
we
may
The
Mischiefs
threatned
,
seasonably
prevent
.
Prophets
rise
early
,
and
do
sit
up
late
,
To
mind
us
of
our
duties
,
yea
,
there
are
Some
thousands
ev'n
this
day
,
declaring
that
Which
they
are
bound
to
speak
,
and
we
to
hear
.
To
that
end
also
,
GOO
,
hath
now
and
then
,
Employed
me
,
and
my
Despised
Pen
,
As
at
this
time
:
and
,
at
his
feet
I
lay
Wha●
I
have
writ
,
and
what
I
have
to
say
.
I
might
—
BUt
,
hark
!
methinks
,
some
Whisperings
I
hear
,
As
it
both
Navies
now
ingaged
were
:
And
,
Lo
,
the
suddain
Rumour
of
that
Storm
Startles
my
Muse
into
another
form
Before
I
am
aware
,
and
makes
me
stop
,
To
heed
,
what
it
contributes
to
my
hope
.
Fame
speaks
it
louder
,
and
th'
increasing
sound
On
every
side
,
my
person
doth
surround
.
If
what
we
fear
succeeds
,
let
them
speed
worst
At
last
,
who
of
this
War
gave
just
cause
first
;
And
,
by
both
Parties
,
let
all
be
amended
Wherein
they
joyntly
,
or
apart
offended
.
More
blood
!
more
fury
still
!
are
bruitish
passions
No
whit
abated
by
Humiliations
?
No
marvel
then
,
no
good
effects
yet
spring
To
peace
conducting
,
by
my
Trumpeting
,
When
I
first
saw
a
likelihood
of
breaking
Our
Pitchers
,
by
the
Preparations
making
;
For
,
that
,
wherein
divine
expedients
faile
Humane
endeavours
little
can
prevaile
.
My
heart
is
pinched
betwixt
hope
and
fear
,
By
musing
upon
what
I
see
and
hear
,
With
that
whereto
our
Actings
may
amount
When
we
of
all
events
have
had
account
.
Fame
tells
us
that
the
English
and
the
Dutch
Have
fought
five
days
together
.
This
is
much
,
And
I
think
so
implacable
a
Rage
,
Was
rarely
paralleld
in
any
Age
,
If
(
as
it
is
reported
)
neither
side
Gave
Quarter
,
whatsoever
did
betide
.
How
that
with
Christian
charity
may
be
Consistent
,
it
appeareth
not
to
me
;
Or
,
how
it
quadrats
with
the
tender
nature
That
's
pro●er
to
a
reasonable
Creature
:
Nor
do
I
know
infallibly
how
far
It
is
permissive
in
an
actual
War
;
Nor
is
it
known
to
any
,
till
●e
tries
The
justness
of
it
in
extremities
.
To
censure
that
,
I
therefore
,
will
forbear
Which
lies
without
the
compass
of
my
Sphear
.
King
David
in
some
cases
,
such
things
did
As
Natural
compassion
doth
forbid
.
This
I
dare
say
,
no
man
can
see
that
end
Whereto
,
a
bruitish
fury
,
will
extend
,
When
both
provoked
,
and
let
loose
,
to
do
Whatever
it
shall
then
be
prone
unto
.
I
clearly
gather
from
our
contestations
,
What
may
be
truely
judged
of
both
Nations
As
to
their
daring
,
and
Couragiousness
;
Which
,
I
in
few
words
,
fully
will
express
,
Ev'n
thus
:
(
for
nothing
parallels
it
fitter
)
Two
English
Mastive
Dogs
never
fought
better
;
Nor
hath
ought
oft
been
acted
heretofore
,
Which
evidenced
humane
courage
more
,
If
all
be
truely
said
which
we
have
heard
This
day
,
of
these
Antagonists
averd
:
For
,
though
some
Cowards
upon
either
side
,
Were
so
amazd
they
knew
not
what
they
did
,
And
some
(
when
blinded
by
the
fires
and
smoke
Slaughtred
those
Friends
,
whom
they
for
Foes
In
that
long
combate
,
neither
of
the
two
(
mistook
;
The
other
,
did
in
any
thing
outdo
.
And
(
which
deserveth
heed
)
no
wind
yet
wags
That
brings
us
tidings
of
such
Fears
,
or
Brags
As
usually
are
published
abroad
,
When
Rivals
are
ingaged
in
this
mode
;
And
,
that
,
to
me
presageth
a
success
Which
may
to
both
contribute
happiness
,
If
meekly
,
they
and
we
,
submit
unto
What
GOD
vouchsafeth
to
permit
,
or
do
,
Who
,
did
a
Mercy
unto
both
begin
When
he
withheld
the
French
from
coming
in
;
Which
Mercy
,
though
yet
hidden
,
will
be
seen
VVhen
time
removes
that
artificial
Skreen
,
VVhich
,
an
abusive
Policy
invents
To
interpose
twixt
actions
and
intents
.
Heed
,
therefore
,
let
both
take
when
this
fight
ends
,
How
it
concerns
both
,
quickly
to
be
Friends
;
VVhat
may
be
quite
lost
;
what
may
yet
be
saved
:
How
both
may
by
their
Discord
,
be
inslaved
:
VVhat
great
Plagues
they
now
feel
;
what
may
betide
More
grievous
,
if
they
further
should
divide
;
VVhat
great
advantages
it
might
bring
thither
Where
,
they
their
Strength
&
Courage
joyn
together
,
Not
thereupon
as
heretofore
presuming
,
Neither
that
glory
to
themselves
assuming
,
VVhich
appertaineth
unto
God
alone
;
Nor
vaunting
of
what
their
own
hands
have
done
;
Nor
la'bring
,
Breaches
to
repair
with
Lies
,
Nor
putting
upon
Truths
a
false
disguise
,
(
A
fault
now
so
habitual
become
That
,
t
is
not
easily
refrained
from
)
Nor
sacrificing
what
GOD
doth
abhor
,
Or
that
,
which
at
the
best
,
he
cares
not
for
;
But
,
giving
what
he
still
takes
in
good
part
,
(
Though
meritless
)
an
Humble
contrite
heart
.
Then
,
that
the
Mercies
daignd
may
be
prolongd
,
Let
not
his
Saints
in
any
wise
be
wrongd
;
(
Among
whom
many
will
be
found
at
last
,
On
whom
the
world
reproachful
terms
hath
cast
)
For
,
when
,
or
wheresoever
,
Peace
he
makes
,
It
is
at
their
Requests
,
and
for
their
Sakes
;
Whereas
,
no
Peace
is
true
,
or
long
possest
,
Where
Innocents
are
causlesly
opprest
;
Especially
,
where
they
oppressed
are
Who
serve
GOD
,
with
a
conscientious
fear
According
to
their
knowledge
:
of
this
Crime
,
Neither
the
Dutch
,
nor
they
who
now
with
them
Associate
,
so
guilty
are
as
we
Do
at
this
present
day
appear
to
be
.
And
,
I
believe
't
was
therefore
that
GODS
hand
Enabled
them
our
Forces
to
withstand
;
And
still
preserves
both
,
that
both
might
more
heed
,
What
they
have
done
,
and
how
they
should
proceed
.
Among
those
things
by
them
and
us
misdone
Provoking
GODS
displeasure
,
this
alone
Next
mentiond
,
is
enough
without
one
moe
,
Us
,
in
all
our
Plantations
to
undo
:
For
,
to
advance
our
carnal
Interest
We
parallel
the
Practice
of
the
BEAST
In
merchandizing
Souls
;
Yea
,
more
then
so
,
Have
set
to
sale
,
both
Souls
and
Bodies
too
,
In
many
Colonies
:
our
Avarice
(
Which
is
one
root
of
evry
other
Vice
)
Gave
partly
an
occasion
of
that
Jar
,
From
whence
first
sprung
,
this
present
bloody
War
,
And
,
which
at
last
,
will
totally
destroy
,
Both
that
which
we
in
Forraign
Lands
enjoy
And
here
at
Home
,
unless
we
shall
with
speed
,
Repent
that
course
wherein
we
do
proceed
.
We
do
not
only
there
,
both
sell
and
wast
Mens
Bodies
whilst
their
lives
and
strength
do
last
,
(
In
bondage
and
in
labour
like
a
Beast
,
From
which
they
have
no
hope
to
be
releast
,
)
But
,
miserably
,
keep
them
,
too
,
inslavd
Without
the
means
,
whereby
the
Soul
is
savd
:
Whereas
,
a
blessing
both
to
them
and
us
Might
be
procured
by
endeav'ring
thus
:
Ev'n
by
providing
Conscientious
Preachers
,
To
be
one
day
in
every
week
their
Teachers
.
This
would
in
part
at
least
,
excuse
the
Crime
,
Whereby
Guilt
lies
on
many
at
this
time
.
I
,
seriously
have
heeded
with
compassion
What
them
concerns
,
who
have
to
God
relation
,
And
,
in
particular
what
I
beheld
Or
,
heard
concerning
those
of
late
Exild
For
Consciencesake
.
How
much
ado
there
was
;
How
much
time
spent
,
to
send
them
to
the
place
Of
their
Confinement
;
what
,
within
short
time
,
Befel
thereby
to
others
;
what
to
them
Worth
observation
;
and
how
they
were
cast
Into
the
powre
of
our
Dutch
Foes
at
last
,
To
whom
their
Ship
and
Goods
are
made
a
prey
,
Who
undertook
to
carry
them
away
.
Whence
I
collect
,
that
,
we
shall
nothing
win
,
Whilst
we
are
guilty
of
so
great
a
Sin
;
And
,
that
by
long
continuance
in
this
guilt
,
Much
blood
that
might
besaved
will
be
spilt
.
Of
this
sin
,
therefore
let
an
Expiation
Be
constantly
endeavourd
through
the
Nation
,
And
henceforth
,
twixt
the
English
and
the
Dutch
,
Let
nothing
be
contended
for
so
much
As
,
whether
shall
the
other
most
excel
In
Love
,
in
Piety
,
and
doing
well
Let
both
petition
for
,
Grace
,
Truth
and
Peace
,
And
,
for
their
mutual
Amities
increase
,
Let
them
not
Fast
to
be
protected
in
Their
quarrellings
,
but
,
fast
from
Strife
and
sin
,
And
when
Humiliations
they
pretend
Begin
them
with
beginning
to
amend
;
Withhold
their
hands
from
Lawless
Violences
,
Not
cloke
Hypocrisie
with
fair
pretences
,
Nor
think
,
when
God
vouchsafes
Deliverance
,
It
is
,
their
Pride
and
Selfness
to
advance
,
Or
,
that
,
when
they
a
Victory
have
won
,
T
was
got
,
that
they
might
do
as
they
have
done
,
This
,
(
though
Humiliation
,
we
pretend
)
I
fear
,
by
very
many
is
designd
.
For
,
Providence
hath
brought
me
to
behold
What
I
should
not
have
credited
if
told
.
The
dreadful
hazzards
which
we
now
are
in
,
So
little
moves
to
penitence
for
Sin
,
That
I
have
heard
of
one
this
day
,
who
from
The
last
Ingagement
came
sore
wounded
home
Who
,
ere
those
wounds
were
cur'd
,
did
by
another
Endeavour
,
how
he
might
corrupt
the
Mother
To
be
her
daughters
Baud
,
and
to
contrive
The
means
,
how
they
might
in
uncleanness
live
.
This
I
have
heard
,
and
(
whether
yea
or
no
)
See
probability
it
may
be
so
.
Alas
!
what
will
insue
thereon
in
fine
If
this
should
be
the
general
designe
?
Oh!
let
each
individual
Soul
beware
Of
such
presumptions
,
lest
they
spread
so
far
That
,
GOD
,
in
his
provoked
indignation
Wholly
destroy
this
wicked
Generation
.
In
chief
,
let
those
Grand
Parties
whose
escapes
Yet
,
give
them
time
,
beware
of
a
Relapse
And
hear
him
;
For
,
assured
then
I
am
,
That
,
he
,
(
according
to
the
Chronogram
Upon
my
Title
page
,
)
us
will
so
bear
,
That
,
this
will
prove
to
be
a
happy
year
.
Let
us
for
bear
to
vaunt
,
as
we
have
done
,
Of
Conquests
,
whilst
our
Arms
are
putting
on
:
For
,
an
example
of
that
folly
have
I
In
their
invincible
(
so
called
)
Navie
Which
was
in
Eighty
eight
,
upon
our
Coasts
Destroyed
after
many
shameless
Boasts
.
God
grant
that
Sixty
six
,
be
not
to
us
For
such
like
Vauntings
as
unprosperous
.
I
hope
the
best
,
and
I
as
much
do
fear
The
worst
,
according
as
our
Actings
are
.
If
possible
it
be
,
let
an
Accord
Be
made
by
Christian
Prudence
,
not
the
Sword.
For
that
Cure
,
usually
doth
leave
a
Skar
From
whence
at
last
,
breaks
forth
another
War.
If
to
no
end
,
our
Quarrels
can
be
brought
Till
we
have
to
the
utmost
fought
it
out
;
Let
them
,
whom
GOD
shall
pleased
be
to
crown
With
Signal
Victory
,
themselves
bow
down
,
In
true
Humility
,
as
low
as
they
Who
,
then
,
have
lost
the
glory
of
the
day
;
Such
Mercy
showing
,
as
they
would
have
shown
U●●●
themselves
,
if
that
case
were
their
own
;
And
,
mind
what
Plagues
,
GOD
threatens
to
inflict
On
them
,
who
add
grief
,
where
he
doth
correct
:
Else
to
avenge
their
Cruelty
and
Pride
,
A
greater
Foe
,
shall
rise
up
in
his
stead
Who
was
destroyed
,
and
they
shall
then
have
That
Measure
to
them
given
,
which
they
gave
.
When
all
this
,
and
much
more
then
this
is
done
,
We
may
,
as
far
be
,
as
when
we
begun
From
being
truly
humbled
.
For
,
with
leaving
Gross
sins
,
there
enters
often
a
deceiving
Whereby
,
the
Soul
may
be
polluted
more
And
,
in
more
danger
then
it
was
before
;
Unless
we
shall
together
with
a
loathing
Of
all
sins
,
Value
our
ownselves
at
nothing
.
For
,
we
have
nought
good
,
but
by
imputation
,
Which
to
confess
,
is
true
Humiliation
If
done
sincerely
.
It
will
then
abide
The
Test
,
when
thus
it
shall
be
qualifide
;
And
,
we
soon
after
,
shall
behold
,
or
hear
What
will
compleat
our
Hope
and
banish
Fear
,
For
,
GOD
in
Mercy
always
doth
return
To
all
,
who
for
offending
him
,
so
mourn
.
WHilst
this
was
writing
,
Tidings
we
receivd
(
Which
very
willingly
we
then
believd
)
That
we
were
Victors
.
God
vouchsafe
thereto
A
blessed
consequ●nce
,
if
it
prove
so
:
Make
us
,
whatever
otherwise
befel
,
Sincerely
thankful
that
we
speed
so
well
,
Still
mindful
of
the
hazzards
we
were
in
,
Before
that
Doubtful
Trial
did
begin
;
And
be
henceforth
,
obedient
to
his
calls
Lest
else
a
worse
thing
suddainly
befals
:
For
,
most
to
fear
him
,
we
have
then
most
cause
When
an
impending
Judgement
he
withdraws
,
Since
,
in
our
Duties
,
if
we
then
grow
slack
;
Vengeance
,
with
double
Rigour
it
brings
back
;
But
,
much
more
,
when
instead
of
Penitence
Those
Faults
renewd
are
,
which
first
gave
offence
.
That
News
,
came
whilst
the
People
were
in
prayr
,
Some
,
hopeful
,
some
afraid
,
some
in
despair
,
Such
Medlies
making
of
Words
,
Thoughts
and
Passions
As
oft
befal
in
suddain
Alterations
;
And
peradventure
,
causd
some
to
forget
To
what
end
,
they
that
day
together
met
:
For
,
many
had
expressed
signs
of
Gladness
Before
,
they
gave
one
sign
of
Sober
sadness
,
Days
of
Thanks
giving
and
Humiliation
Being
by
them
,
observd
still
in
one
fashion
;
And
,
by
their
various
Postures
,
those
Digressions
Occasiond
were
,
which
vary
my
Expressions
.
We
were
nor
like
Jews-harps
on
Willows
hung
,
But
,
like
those
,
which
are
always
tun'd
and
strung
For
Jiggs
;
and
we
,
a
Triumph-song
begun
Before
our
Lamentation-song
was
done
.
From
laying
,
by
,
our
vain
Desires
and
Boasts
,
From
Sanctifying
of
the
Lord
of
Hosts
With
filial
awe
!
and
Praise
to
him
returning
(
For
joyful
Tidings
on
our
Day
of
mourning
)
We
were
so
far
,
that
,
evn
before
we
knew
,
Or
could
hear
certainly
,
the
News
was
true
,
We
skipt
abruptly
,
from
Humiliation
Into
our
Antick
mode
of
Exultation
,
Joyning
our selves
to
throngs
of
Fools
and
Boys
,
In
Triumphs
,
which
consist
of
Squibs
and
Noise
,
Of
Healths
,
and
Bells
,
and
Fires
,
and
Tunes
,
and
Smoak
(
Thanksgiving
Tools
,
in
which
delight
we
took
)
Objects
of
Scorn
,
to
wisemen
rendring
us
;
To
grave
Spectators
,
more
ridiculous
Then
pleasing
:
And
,
instead
of
some
Relief
To
sufferers
an
increasing
of
their
Grief
,
Chiefly
to
those
poor
Orphans
and
sad
Wives
,
Whose
Husbands
,
and
whose
Fathers
limbs
and
lives
Were
lost
in
that
Ingagement
,
whereof
they
Had
little
Sense
,
or
drank
the
same
away
,
(
Whilst
they
who
hardly
scaping
it
,
lay
grieving
,
Their
safety
,
rather
doubting
then
believing
)
And
,
these
too
,
when
grown
sober
,
found
they
had
Not
so
much
cause
of
Mirth
,
as
to
be
sad
.
An
outward
Joy
,
exprest
with
moderation
,
And
Triumphs
,
are
not
without
Approbation
,
When
they
shall
be
exhibited
in
season
,
And
for
ends
justified
by
sound
Reason
;
Yet
,
for
all
Victories
,
they
are
not
so
;
Nor
the
same
things
,
fit
at
all
times
to
do
.
King
David
knew
it
did
not
him
become
To
triumph
when
he
conquerd
Absolom
,
And
I
have
seen
,
for
Victories
,
of
late
,
(
Much
less
to
be
rejoyced
in
than
that
)
Great
Joy
exprest
:
yea
,
for
a
Conquest
won
(
Thanksgivings
also
rendred
)
where
was
none
.
At
all
times
,
by
all
men
,
are
Praises
due
,
And
thanks
to
God
,
for
all
things
that
ensue
On
our
Endeavours
:
for
,
in
all
he
doth
Inclusively
,
are
comprehended
both
Justice
,
and
Mercy
:
yet
,
our
thanks
to
GOD
Is
not
on
all
occasions
,
in
one
mode
To
be
exprest
;
nor
ought
we
to
pretend
His
Glory
,
when
t
is
for
another
end
;
Lest
,
he
in
our
Destruction
or
our
shame
,
Provoked
be
to
glorifie
his
Name
.
In
both
our
late
Ingagements
GOD
hath
done
That
,
which
both
Nations
ought
to
think
upon
With
much
more
heed
,
and
much
more
thankfulness
,
Then
either
we
or
they
do
yet
express
.
This
month
last
year
when
we
did
glorifie
Our selves
,
for
a
supposed
Victory
,
I
did
contribute
then
,
as
I
do
now
My
single
Mite
,
(
as
well
as
I
knew
how
)
To
praise
GOD
for
his
Mercy
,
making
none
With
him
,
a
sharer
in
what
he
had
done
;
Then
offring
also
to
consideration
Such
things
as
tended
to
Humiliation
,
Much
to
the
same
effect
,
with
that
which
here
,
I
tender
in
another
mode
this
year
.
But
,
GOD
who
times
,
and
Orders
all
we
do
,
My
purpose
knowing
,
put
a
Stop
thereto
;
Perhaps
lest
if
it
had
been
publishd
then
,
It
had
exasperated
more
,
some
men
,
Both
to
their
own
,
and
to
my
detriment
,
Then
was
consistent
with
my
good
intent
.
For
,
(
by
my
Printers
death
)
what
,
I
then
did
In
some
unknown
hand
,
till
this
day
lies
hid
;
And
possibly
may
come
again
to
light
,
By
that
time
,
this
is
brought
to
open
sight
.
Meanwhile
,
I
will
proceed
,
with
what
,
this
day
A
New
Occasion
prompteth
me
to
say
.
The
said
Ingagements
,
now
already
past
(
Which
if
GOD
please
,
I
wish
might
be
the
last
)
By
Providential
means
,
have
made
their
swords
Speak
more
,
then
else
with
so
much
power
in
words
,
Could
have
been
spoken
,
to
perswade
us
to
What
,
it
,
will
most
concern
us
both
,
to
do
.
For
,
whatsoever
,
Policy
and
Pride
Have
published
abroad
on
either
side
,
T
is
evident
;
(
or
,
may
be
so
to
either
)
Our
Earthen
Pitchers
,
are
so
knockt
together
That
one
or
two
more
such
like
knocks
will
break
them
So
small
,
that
useless
Po●sherds
it
will
make
them
;
Except
to
patch
up
the
Designs
of
those
Who
seem
their
Friends
,
to
whom
they
will
be
Foes
.
This
would
be
better
heeded
,
if
it
were
Propounded
by
a
Private
Counseller
,
A
Bishop
or
a
Judge
:
Thus
I
suppose
,
Till
I
remember
,
that
the
best
of
those
Have
writ
,
and
spoke
in
vain
:
yet
,
then
,
were
they
Obligd
to
speak
their
conscience
,
so
am
I.
But
,
many
,
who
to
be
my
Friends
would
seem
,
(
And
,
not
me
,
or
my
words
to
disesteem
)
Perswade
me
,
in
thes
:
matters
to
be
mute
:
Tell
me
,
that
my
Attempts
produce
no
fruit
Save
mischiefs
to
my self
:
and
,
other
some
Affirm
this
Medling
doth
no●
me
become
.
I
thank
their
wisdoms
;
but
,
am
not
so
wise
As
to
believe
they
prudently
advise
.
A
Fool
may
to
good
purpose
speak
somtimes
,
And
,
they
have
found
sound
Reason
in
my
Rimes
,
Who
were
not
so
adverse
to
words
in
season
,
That
,
they
lovd
neither
Truth
,
nor
Rime
,
nor
Reason
.
Th'
effects
to
other
men
will
be
the
same
,
Whether
,
to
them
I
speak
,
or
silent
am
;
Yet
,
since
with
profit
,
I
have
heretofore
Spoke
somwhat
,
I
will
speak
a
little
more
,
Because
,
I
know
the
damage
will
not
be
So
great
,
then
,
in
relation
unto
me
,
As
unto
those
men
,
who
shall
be
offended
With
what
is
conscientiously
intended
.
Successes
,
good
and
bad
,
are
shard
so
even
Between
them
(
by
his
Justice
,
who
from
heav'n
Beholds
both
what
they
did
in
every
place
With
whatsoere
by
them
intended
was
)
That
,
if
on
both
sides
,
Truth
might
be
exprest
It
would
by
them
and
others
,
be
confest
,
The
Sword
hath
spoke
a
loud
,
and
plainly
too
,
That
,
which
both
Nations
speedily
should
do
:
That
,
it
speaks
also
,
what
they
do
intend
On
whose
Assistances
they
much
depend
:
And
hints
,
that
both
,
in
their
proceeds
,
(
at
length
)
May
be
devourd
by
their
own
Wealth
and
Strength
.
For
,
whereunto
amounts
all
we
have
heard
Three
days
together
,
to
and
fro
,
averd
,
But
certainty
of
Ruine
,
on
both
sides
,
To
which
soever
best
success
betides
?
What
have
we
heard
,
by
that
which
pro
and
con
Hath
been
reported
of
what
's
lost
and
won
,
But
contradictions
,
intermixt
with
sounds
Of
Lamentations
,
Losses
,
Deaths
and
Wounds
,
And
with
relation
of
a
Victory
,
Which
with
infeebled
and
lame
wings
doth
fly
:
None
certainly
informed
of
what
's
done
,
Or
of
that
which
may
follow
thereupon
.
We
hear
sad
News
one
day
,
as
bad
next
morrow
,
Or
worse
perhaps
:
and
shall
have
dayly
sorrow
,
Till
of
their
sorrows
,
we
more
sense
have
got
,
Whose
Suff●ings
,
we
do
know
and
pitty
not
:
And
till
our
Nation
shall
discharge
that
better
,
Where●n
to
GOD
and
Man
it
is
a
Debter
.
I
have
with
heedfulness
,
perused
that
,
Sea-Gibbersh
,
which
is
publishd
to
relate
What
passed
in
the
Naval
fight
between
Both
Fleets
;
with
what
,
to
some
a
ground
hath
been
To
think
,
the
Victory
is
on
our
side
And
,
that
we
st●ll
victorious
do
abide
.
If
so
it
were
(
because
,
it
might
prevent
The
Foes
proud
brags
,
our
Friends
discouragement
;
Or
,
superfede
their
Fears
)
I
should
be
glad
,
And
thankful
,
for
the
good
success
we
had
:
But
,
nothing
therein
mention'd
found
I
out
,
Whence
,
I
could
pick
forth
,
what
to
find
,
I
sought
.
All
I
could
thence
collect
,
was
but
thus
much
,
That
,
We
were
heaten
,
and
did
beat
the
Dutch
,
Till
they
were
glad
,
at
last
,
to
sail
away
,
And
,
we
as
glad
,
they
did
no
longer
stay
.
He
,
that
was
otherwise
informd
thereby
Doth
understand
much
more
,
or
less
,
then
I
,
And
,
for
ourselves
,
I
know
no
reason
why
We
should
,
if
,
we
for
GOD
,
ought
not
to
Lie
;
For
,
though
it
is
imprudence
to
reveal
All
Truths
at
all
times
(
and
not
to
conceal
,
What
may
occasion
mischiefs
)
never
should
The
Truth
be
falsesaid
,
or
Untruths
be
told
:
And
,
more
advantage
would
to
us
,
ensue
If
our
Intelligence
were
always
true
:
Indeed
,
I
found
,
in
that
Express
,
much
wit
In
such
terms
,
as
that
Subject
,
did
befit
;
As
also
,
very
much
,
related
there
To
magnifie
those
who
then
active
were
For
our
defence
.
And
,
I
well
pleased
am
With
what
may
add
to
their
deserved
Fame
.
To
them
I
grudge
no
meed
,
or
honour
due
,
Who
prudently
,
and
valiantly
pursue
Their
undertakings
:
But
,
Gods
praise
alone
,
Is
my
chief
Aim
.
To
praise
what
men
have
done
,
Is
,
to
my
proper
work
impertinent
,
And
,
also
,
at
this
time
,
to
my
intent
.
If
,
by
omitting
that
,
I
shall
offend
In
prosecutions
to
a
better
end
;
Or
,
if
that
any
shall
maligne
me
more
,
For
this
,
who
di●
not
love
me
heretofore
,
I
shall
not
think
it
strange
:
For
,
I
of
late
Meerly
,
for
Speaking
,
and
for
Writing
that
,
Which
both
to
Gods
prdise
,
and
Mans
welfare
are
tends
,
Loose
daily
,
very
many
seeming
Friends
;
Whereby
,
if
they
no
whit
indamagd
are
,
I
shall
not
,
for
what
haps
to
me
,
much
care
;
Especially
,
whilst
that
,
which
I
designe
Tends
to
Gods
praise
(
without
selfends
of
mine
.
)
To
which
intention
,
that
which
now
is
read
(
In
these
few
pages
,
)
is
contributed
.
And
though
,
like
Jeremiahs
Lamentation
,
Or
Davids
humblings
,
this
Humiliation
Is
not
besprinkled
with
corporeal
tears
,
Or
,
worded
with
Hyberbolies
like
theirs
;
Nor
strowd
with
Ashes
,
nor
in
Haircloth
drest
;
Or
,
with
such
formal-complements
exprest
,
(
As
may
be
,
and
ofttimes
assumed
are
As
well
by
Hypocrites
,
as
Men
sincere
Or
,
though
it
may
want
what
affects
the
Sense
,
I
hope
,
that
,
which
affects
th'
Intelligence
It
shall
not
want
,
nor
ought
,
which
to
that
end
Is
needfull
,
whereto
,
I
,
the
same
intend
;
And
,
t
is
exhibited
in
such
a
mode
,
I
hope
too
,
as
will
pleasing
be
to
GOD.
What
,
he
hath
done
,
at
this
time
,
seems
to
me
Not
so
much
heeded
as
it
ought
to
be
,
To
make
us
thankful
;
nor
do
we
express
What
we
pretend
,
in
way
of
thinkfulness
As
it
becomes
us
;
neither
do
we
show
it
As
doth
beseem
him
,
unto
whom
we
ow
it
:
But
,
act
it
with
such
vain
appurtenances
(
And
break
out
into
such
Extravagances
)
As
,
to
our
Sins
,
are
rather
an
addition
Then
signes
of
Thankfulness
,
or
true
Contrition
.
For
,
though
,
at
full
,
informd
I
have
not
bin
What
streights
,
and
what
great
hazzards
they
were
in
;
Or
,
of
what
might
have
hapned
,
unless
then
Assisted
more
by
Providence
,
then
Men
;
Thus
much
is
likely
,
we
were
so
intrapt
,
That
,
by
our
own
powre
,
we
had
not
escapt
A
total
Rout
,
if
Providentially
There
came
not
in
,
a
seasonable
supply
.
For
,
had
not
GOD
,
sent
Rupert
timely
back
,
The
Fleet
with
Albemarl
,
had
gone
to
wrack
;
Or
,
both
perhaps
,
then
,
been
destroyd
together
,
Had
not
GOD
sent
the
French
,
we
know
not
whither
:
Yea
,
somewhat
,
in
that
Providence
I
see
,
Which
our
Foes
ought
to
heed
,
as
much
as
We.
GOD
,
grace
vouchsafe
both
unto
us
,
and
them
,
To
heed
,
whereto
it
tends
,
whilst
there
is
time
;
And
,
unto
me
,
and
every
person
living
,
Timely
Repentance
,
and
sincere
Thanksgiving
.
Ere
these
few
Cautionary
exhortations
,
(
Which
I
think
proper
to
Humiliations
)
I
do
conclude
;
I
le
add
this
Corollary
In
hope
,
that
some
,
the
same
in
mind
will
carry
.
Though
very
great
our
Streighrs
and
Hazzards
are
,
(
And
,
those
may
be
much
greater
which
we
fear
)
Seek
Remedies
,
by
no
dishonest
course
;
Lest
,
thereby
,
we
still
make
the
mischief
worse
.
That
,
were
to
do
like
them
,
who
,
when
an
Evil
Befals
,
run
to
a
Witch
,
or
to
the
Devil
,
Who
,
such
Cures
,
onely
,
for
his
Pati●nts
hath
As
their
,
who
kill
themselves
,
through
fear
of
Death
.
It
hath
been
thought
,
ye●
,
●
have
oft
been
told
,
That
,
I
,
in
my
Attempts
,
have
been
too
bold
;
Yet
I
think
no
man
standeth
in
more
dread
Of
doing
ought
which
is
not
warranten
By
common
Justice
;
For
,
I
dare
not
act
To
save
my
life
,
in
any
such
like
f●ct
.
Nor
would
my
Conscience
let
me
step
in
peace
Should
I
but
wink
at
an
Unrigh
eousness
,
Which
might
by
me
be
hundred
,
(
though
to
gain
That
,
which
I
do
most
covet
to
obtain
)
Till
I
repented
it
:
nay
,
I
should
dread
A
Vengeance
were
impending
ore
my
head
,
If
I
in
secret
,
wishd
advance
unto
My
hopes
,
by
what
another
might
misdo
Without
my
knowledge
;
or
,
by
ought
not
right
Both
in
GODS
eye
,
and
evry
good
mans
sight
.
Which
,
I
profess
,
that
others
might
beware
Of
such
Ill
consequents
,
as
I
now
fear
.
If
we
believe
there
is
a
GOD
,
that
heeds
The
Patience
of
the
Sain●s
,
and
our
Procreeds
,
Let
us
not
still
persist
,
as
we
have
done
,
Within
mans
corscience
,
to
usurp
GODS
Throne
As
many
do
,
in
most
presumptaous
wise
,
Ev'n
whilst
his
heavy
hand
upon
us
lies
:
For
,
he
will
shortly
make
it
to
appear
,
None
ought
,
but
he
,
to
sit
in
Judgment
there
;
As
also
,
what
th●y
merir
,
who
offend
So
highly
,
when
an
humbling
they
pretend
.
At
Ho●re
,
from
persecuting
of
them
cease
Who
do
not
interrupt
the
civil
peace
;
Let
for
bear
in
an
inhumane
mode
,
More
to
divide
us
,
and
our
foes
abrode
;
Let
us
leave
off
those
Railings
at
each
other
,
VVhich
hinder
the
uniting
us
together
.
T●ll
GOD
shall
judge
the
cause
that
is
depending
Between
the
Nations
which
are
now
contending
,
Let
none
of
us
who
in
ou
private
Stations
,
Are
called
to
sincere
Humiliations
,
Presume
to
judge
them
further
then
he
knows
Their
Actings
,
and
what
Judgements
GOD
allows
In

Tria

At

hath

given
By

as

from

At

By
him
,
I
have
been
fed
VVith
Manna
,
Quail
s
,
and
with
my
dayly
bread
,
(
I
know
not
else
,
either
by
whom
or
how
)
For
some
years
lately
pnst
;
and
so
am
now
,
VVithout
suspect
,
of
ought
which
may
be
fal
VVhether
,
my
gathering
shall
be
much
or
small
.
Yea
,
now
,
while
I
behold
d●spairing
fear
In
most
mens
faces
,
almost
evry
where
;
Although
the
day
,
now
very
gloomy
be
;
Though
falling
off
,
our
Chariot-wheels
I
see
;
Their
Drivers
with
much
difficulty
driving
;
Against
Waves
,
Rocks
and
Sands
,
our
Leaders
striving
,
And
,
GOD
,
in
this
day
of
our
great
distress
,
Within
a
Black
Cloud
,
hiding
yet
his
Face
;
A
Glummering
,
I
naytheless
perceive
Of
Mercy
,
shining
on
all
who
believe
;
With
Symp●oms
,
of
the
like
aspect
to
them
Who
,
yet
believe
not
,
if
they
turn
to
him
.
Turn
therefore
,
oh
return
unto
him
,
now
;
Hear
him
,
and
he
will
give
an
ear
to
you
.
But
I
fear
most
men
so
corrupt
are
grown
,
That
,
my
words
,
are
on
them
in
vain
bestown
:
Lest
,
therefore
what
I
write
,
they
heed
the
less
,
I
,
at
this
present
,
will
no
more
express
;
And
,
since
,
in
our
case
,
there
's
no
help
in
Man
,
His
aid
,
I
will
implore
,
who
help
us
can
.
LEt
GOD
arise
!
Arise
LORD
,
I
implore
thee
;
And
,
let
all
those
who
hate
thee
,
fly
before
thee
;
Rebuke
them
who
thy
Adversaries
are
,
The
Bulls
and
Calves
who
take
delight
in
War
;
Aswel
the
Common
People
,
as
their
Kings
,
Till
all
the
world
,
to
thee
,
due
tribute
brings
.
Lee
those
destroying
Angels
,
which
are
sent
To
chastise
us
,
make
a
distinguishment
Between
them
,
who
through
Hum●ne
frailty
sin
,
Without
persisting
wilfully
therein
,
And
,
such
,
as
have
been
unto
thee
and
Thine
,
Malitious
Foes
,
a
long
time
,
by
Designe
;
Or
,
who
,
not
onely
,
against
us
,
now
be
Confederates
,
but
likewise
against
Thee
.
In
Mercy
,
look
again
,
on
us
,
and
those
,
Who
are
,
at
this
day
,
our
professed
Foes
;
Lest
,
the
pursuit
of
what
is
yet
intended
Consumes
both
Nations
,
ere
the
war
be
ended
.
Now
,
so
unclose
the
Eyes
of
evry
Nation
,
Which
hath
pretended
to
a
Reformation
,
That
,
they
may
see
how
much
,
they
have
been
blinded
;
How
they
depraved
are
,
and
howself-minded
:
So
prudent
make
all
Governours
and
Kings
,
So
qualify
the
Peoples
murmurings
;
So
,
let
thy
holy
Spirit
sanctifie
Each
Congregational
Societie
;
So
shew
,
to
evry
Individual
one
,
What
ought
to
be
believd
,
and
to
be
done
Together
and
Apart
,
which
may
improve
That
,
Principle
of
Vniversal
Love
,
In
which
,
the
Being
of
the
world
begun
;
Whereby
,
preserved
while
Time
wheeleth
on
,
And
,
by
which
,
that
perfection
shall
be
gaind
Which
was
by
thy
Eternal
Love
ordaind
;
That
we
regenerated
may
become
,
And
not
continue
,
till
the
day
of
Doome
,
So
stupified
in
our
sins
,
as
they
Who
were
,
at
last
,
with
Water
,
washd
away
;
Or
,
Sodom-like
,
in
sinning
persevere
Until
with
Fire
consumed
as
they
were
:
But
,
let
what
thou
haft
done
,
sufficient
be
To
turn
thee
unto
us
,
and
us
to
Thee
.
I
do
confess
,
shouldst
thou
be
so
severe
,
As
,
but
to
heed
how
bad
,
the
best
men
are
;
Among
us
all
,
there
could
be
found
out
none
Who
might
be
called
Righteous
;
no
,
not
one
Of
whatsoever
Calling
,
or
Degree
,
Whether
,
Priest
,
Prophet
,
a
King
it
be
,
Or
of
the
common
Rank
;
Lord
,
naytheless
In
Mercy
,
and
in
thy
Sons
Rigteousness
Vouchlafe
to
look
upon
us
;
and
,
to
cure
Our
single
,
and
our
joynt
distemp'rature
.
At
this
time
,
to
those
Lustings
put
an
end
,
Which
makes
us
more
then
brutishly
contend
For
trifles
;
and
to
brawl
,
curse
,
lye
and
swear
;
Like
Dogs
,
for
bones
,
to
scramble
,
scratch
and
tear
;
Fight
,
wound
and
kill
each
other
,
without
heed
Of
what
we
do
,
or
of
what
may
succeed
.
Yea
,
so
inhumanely
,
as
if
,
now
,
here
The
Devils
,
clothd
with
Humane
bodies
were
;
Hell
,
as
it
were
,
broke
loose
,
and
,
they
come
hither
With
purpose
,
to
bring
Hell
and
Earth
together
.
That
,
which
this
may
portend
,
secure
us
from
:
Hallow
thy
Name
,
and
let
thy
kingdom
come
.
Thy
will
be
done
on
Earth
,
as
t
is
in
Heaven
:
Give
us
the
bread
of
Life
;
and
,
that
forgiven
Our
sins
may
be
,
let
us
forgive
each
other
,
And
,
henceforth
,
live
in
Amity
together
,
On
us
,
let
not
temptations
,
then
prevail
,
When
then
permittest
any
to
.
●ssail
Our
persons
;
that
,
we
may
in
our
Probations
Be
constant
,
and
enjoy
our
expectations
.
Let
neither
presnt
,
past
,
or
future
evil
,
(
The
temptings
of
the
World
,
the
First
or
Devil
)
Hive
powre
to
harm
,
or
fright
us
any
more
,
With
Plagues
and
Wars
,
as
now
,
and
heretofore
;
Especially
,
let
them
not
us
,
insnare
With
those
sins
,
whereof
these
the
wages
are
.
Wholly
,
to
thee
,
our selves
let
us
resigne
;
Consels
the
Kingdom
,
Powre
and
Glory
thine
Without
a
partner
;
and
henceforth
,
forbear
To
seek
our
Kingdom
,
Powre
and
Glory
here
.
Whilst
that
time
lasts
,
wherein
in
things
yet
remain
Undone
,
which
to
thy
Glory
appertain
And
,
wherein
we
must
further
be
imployd
,
Before
the
Man
of
Sin
shall
be
destroyd
,
(
Who
very
oft
,
usurps
a
lodging
,
where
Thy
Kingdom
is
,
although
he
Reigns
not
there
)
Him
to
resist
,
vouchsafe
Assisting
Grace
To
every
one
of
us
,
in
his
own
place
:
Preserve
us
blameless
,
in
that
Dispensation
Whereto
,
a
Conscentious
inclination
(
Without
self-ends
)
hath
joynd
us
;
so
to
use
Our
Liberty
,
that
,
we
do
not
abuse
The
Christian
Freerdom
by
including
on
Thy
Right
;
or
,
by
imposing
that
upon
Anothers
conscience
,
by
usurped
powr
,
Which
,
we
would
not
should
be
imposd
on
our
.
And
,
so
incline
those
also
,
to
do
thus
To
whom
thou
givest
power
over
us
,
That
none
,
may
to
obey
them
forced
be
,
By
being
disobedient
unto
thee
;
But
,
let
our
Duties
be
performd
in
Peace
To
thee
,
and
,
to
all
men
,
in
Righteousness
.
And
,
that
both
We
,
and
our
Superiours
too
,
May
be
the
more
kept
heedful
what
to
do
;
Make
them
to
know
;
that
if
in
what
relates
To
Thee
,
the
humane
Laws
,
or
Magistrates
Must
be
obeyd
in
all
they
shall
command
,
However
they
,
or
we
shall
understnd
Thy
〈◊〉
reveald
;
then
,
if
the
Kingdom
be
The
Turks
or
-
Popes
,
we
mast
believe
,
as
he
;
And
,
thy
will
and
thy
Deity
,
thenceforth
,
Stand
for
a
Cyther
,
or
,
for
what
's
less
worth
:
For
tha●
,
will
be
the
consequence
thereof
,
Though
Politians
,
at
his
Truth
will
skoff
:
Me
therefore
,
unto
what
thou
callst
me
to
,
Keep
firm
,
in
spight
of
all
the
world
shall
do
.
The
single
,
and
the
joynt
Humiliation
of
King
and
People
,
bless
with
acceptation
,
Although
,
what
hath
been
done
,
prayd
,
or
consest
,
Will
not
abide
thy
Sanctuery
Test
;
For
,
hope
of
an
acceptance
,
none
there
is
,
If
thou
shouldst
mark
all
things
that
are
am'ss
:
And
,
sav'd
from
what
's
deserved
,
here
,
would
neither
Be
Good
or
Bad
men
,
but
,
sink
altogether
.
Let
,
in
one
Duty
,
none
be
so
●mployd
,
That
,
all
the
rest
be
sleighted
,
or
made
void
.
So
let
us
Hear
,
that
,
we
as
aswel
may
Do
As
Hea
ken
,
what
thy
word
perswades
unto
.
So
let
us
strive
to
Do
,
that
having
done
The
best
wee
can
,
wee
trust
not
thereupon
;
And
,
so
Believe
too
,
that
wee
may
improve
Our
Faith
still
more
,
both
by
Good
works
and
Love
;
Remembring
,
it
is
Love
,
that
doth
fulfil
The
Law
,
the
Gaspel
,
and
thy
total
will.
Let
thin
own
Spirit
help
urs
so
to
pray
,
That
,
wee
may
minde
Thee
,
more
then
what
we
say
.
Since
to
Speak
words
,
less
needful
is
to
thee
,
Then
telling
our
own
hearts
,
what
our
thoughts
be
;
And
,
chiefly
used
,
that
we
might
discern
Or
,
h●●d
,
the
better
those
things
which
concern
Our selves
,
and
Brethren
;
because
,
none
can
show
That
unto
thee
,
which
thou
didst
not
foreknow
Words
,
oft
are
sooke
to
others
,
with
intent
To
counterfeit
that
which
was
never
ment
.
To
such
ends
,
as
we
ought
to
make
Addressings
To
thee
,
are
all
my
Prayers
and
Confessings
;
To
such
ends
,
I
now
offer
here
in
words
,
Those
Musings
,
which
my
narrow
heart
affords
;
And
,
which
drawn
,
and
prest
out
of
it
,
have
been
By
those
great
streights
,
we
still
continue
in
.
To
such
ends
,
1
implore
thee
in
this
mode
;
Accept
of
this
Oblation
,
my
dear
GOD
:
Give
us
his
Righteousness
,
who
took
our
Guilt
;
Love
us
,
and
then
,
do
with
us
,
what
thou
wilt
.
These
MusingS
,
mee
,
did
waking
keep
When
other
men
were
fast
asleep
:
And
