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).

To
the

Honourable
,
Henry
Lord
Sidney

Uiscount
Sheppy
:
AND
Thomas
Conningsby
,
Esq
Lords
Justices
of
IRELAND
.
May
it
please
your
Lordships
:
THIS
Sermon
was
at
first
Composed
,
and
is
now
Published
with
peculiar
respect
to
their
Majesties
Subjects
in
this
Kingdom
.
Those
in
England
,
who
had
the
Advantage
of
Enquiry
and
Correspondence
,
need
not
the
Informations
here
offered
.
But
the
Protestants
of
this
Kingdom
have
been
so
long
,
and
industriously
kept
in
the
Dark
,
and
not
suffered
to
look
into
the
Designs
of
those
that
had
them
in
Subjection
;
(
further
than
they
felt
the
effects
of
them
)
that
many
may
be
Strangers
to
the
full
extent
of
those
Designs
,
and
the
Miraculous
steps
of
Providence
by
which
they
have
been
●elivered
from
them
.
I
know
much
more
might
●e
●aid
,
and
has
been
said
on
this
Subject
.
But
I
have
chosen
those
points
that
seemed
to
me
most
P●●per
for
the
Occasion
:
And
I
hope
enow
to
satisfie
us
all
of
the
great
reason
We
have
to
Praise
God
for
our
wonderful
Deliverance
;
which
was
the
design
of
the
Discourse
.
Your
Lordships
can
witness
what
sense
the
Protestants
of
this
City
have
of
it
;
and
for
ought
appears
,
the
whole
Body
of
them
through
the
Kingdom
,
are
in
their
present
Majesties
Interest
to
a
Man.
Which
could
never
have
happened
,
If
the
Late
Government
had
been
in
any
measure
Tolerable
to
them
.
And
had
others
,
instead
of
being
at
ease
where
they
were
at
that
time
,
Lived
here
,
under
the
Government
they
fancied
so
Indulgent
,
I
doubt
not
but
they
would
have
had
the
same
Sentiments
with
us
,
and
been
cured
of
their
Folly.
*
Your
Lordships
have
come
to
the
Government
of
this
Kingdom
in
an
ill
,
and
Unsettled
Posture
of
Affairs
:
But
you
need
look
back
only
,
to
Presidents
in
each
of
your
own
Families
,
to
Guide
your
Management
with
the
happiest
Success
your
Ancestors
Governed
it
,
in
times
as
difficult
as
the
present
;
and
had
the
Chiefest
part
in
Reforming
the
Superstition
and
Barbarity
of
the
Natives
;
and
in
settling
Religion
on
that
happy
Foot
,
on
which
it
has
since
stood
:
But
they
,
and
all
since
have
been
forced
to
leave
the
Work
Imperfect
:
It
remains
now
,
I
hope
,
to
be
perfected
by
You.
Your
Lordships
may
reasonably
conclude
,
That
,
it
is
not
an
easie
undertaking
to
Civilize
and
Reform
this
Nation
;
since
so
great
Persons
were
not
able
to
perfect
it
:
And
yet
that
it
is
to
be
done
,
because
they
went
so
far
in
it
.
For
want
of
a
Vigorous
Prosecution
,
it
has
been
to
do
a-new
,
every
forty
years
,
hitherto
;
Your
Lordships
have
the
Experience
of
many
such
Periods
to
direct
you
how
to
do
it
effectually
.
We
hope
,
and
heartily
Pray
,
That
,
it
may
now
at
last
have
its
Accomplishment
in
Your
Hands
,
under
their
Majesties
Government
;
and
that
this
may
be
one
of
the
Blessings
of
their
Reign
:
Providence
has
given
you
an
opportunity
of
making
your
Selves
,
and
your
Memory
Grateful
to
Present
and
Future
Ages
,
by
becoming
happy
Instruments
in
it
.
That
you
may
be
such
,
I
hope
Your
Lordships
will
believe
is
,
by
none
more
Zealously
desired
,
than
by
,
My
LORDS
,
Your
Lordships
most
Humble
and
Obliged
Servant

A
SERMON
Preach'd

Psal.

2.
Let
them
give
Thanks
whom
the
Lord
hath
Redeemed
,
and
Delivered
from
the
hand
of
the
Enemy
.
Ver.
3.
And
gathered
them
out
of
the
Lands
;
from
the
East
,
and
from
the
West
;
from
the
North
,
and
from
the
South
.
THanksgiving
is
all
the
Tribute
we
can
pay
to
Heaven
;
and
't
is
so
easie
a
Return
for
our
Beings
,
and
the
many
Comforts
we
receive
from
thence
,
that
he
is
very
inexcusable
,
and
unworthy
the
Mercies
he
receives
,
who
is
backward
in
so
easie
an
Acknowledgment
:
Hence
the
whole
World
has
ever
look'd
on
it
,
as
the
securest
way
for
continuing
their
present
,
and
procuring
new
Blessings
,
to
own
God
to
be
the
Author
of
them
;
and
to
express
their
Gratitude
in
Hymns
and
Sacrifices
,
and
in
other
Acts
of
Devotion
and
Thanksgiving
:
As
appears
not
only
from
the
People
of
God
in
the
Old
Testament
,
but
likewise
from
the
yet
remaining
Devotions
of
the
Ancient
Heathen
.
This
Psalm
is
a
solemn
Form
,
used
by
the
Jewish
Church
on
such
occasions
.
'T
is
not
material
to
explain
to
you
the
first
occ●sion
of
its
being
made
;
it
sufficiently
appears
from
my
Text
(
which
is
the
Introduction
to
it
,
)
that
it
was
designed
,
as
a
Solemn
Return
of
Praise
to
God
,
for
Redeeming
the
Israelites
from
Captivity
;
for
delivering
them
from
their
Enemies
;
and
bringing
them
back
to
their
own
Country
,
whence
they
had
been
driven
by
Violence
and
Oppression
,
ver
.
39.40
.
Now
this
is
so
exactly
Our
Case
,
and
the
design
of
our
present
Meeting
;
that
I
think
there
is
no
more
incumbent
on
me
,
than
to
endeavour
to
beget
in
you
a
due
sense
of
it
,
and
to
stir
you
up
to
an
hearty
Acknowledgment
of
Gods
present
Mercies
to
us
:
And
I
promise
my self
some
Success
in
this
Undertaking
,
and
that
the
Consideration
of
the
following
Particulars
will
make
the
same
Impression
on
every
body
concerned
,
as
they
have
done
on
me
.
First
,
Therefore
let
us
consider
our
Deliverance
.
And
Secondly
,
The
Returns
we
are
obliged
to
make
for
it
.
In
our
Deliverance
we
ought
to
Reflect
.
I.
On
the
Depth
of
the
Contrivance
,
and
Design
against
us
,
from
which
God
has
graciously
been
pleased
at
this
Time
to
Deliver
us
.
II.
On
the
great
Extent
of
it
.
All
Princes
in
Europe
,
especially
such
as
profess
the
Reformed
Religion
,
being
struck
at
by
it
.
III.
On
the
Miraculous
Concurrence
of
Providences
for
our
Deliverance
,
in
breaking
this
Design
so
deeply
laid
,
and
vigorously
Prosecuted
.
You
all
have
suffered
so
much
by
this
Design
;
and
the
Memory
of
your
Dangers
and
Deliverance
from
it
,
is
so
fresh
before
you
;
that
I
need
not
trouble
you
with
the
Particulars
of
it
:
'T
was
,
in
short
,
to
destroy
you
and
your
Religion
,
and
enslave
all
Europe
under
the
Tyranny
of
the
French
King.
I.
The
Depth
of
this
Design
appears
:
1
st
.
From
the
length
of
Time
,
wherein
it
has
been
forming
and
carrying
on
.
Some
,
and
not
without
Reason
,
date
it
from
the
very
beginning
of
the
Reformation
;
some
from
the
Restauration
of
the
Royal
Family
,
and
some
from
the
Pyrenean
Peace
;
but
as
it
immediately
concerns
these
Kingdoms
,
we
can
trace
it
by
many
Footsteps
from
the
year
1670
▪
since
which
Time
,
not
only
we
,
but
all
Europe
have
groaned
under
the
Fatal
Effects
of
it
.
As
to
this
Kingdom
of
Ireland
,
we
find
a
Scheme
of
it
laid
down
at
large
,
in
a
Paper
formerly
found
in
the
Earl
of
Tyrconnel's
House
,
(
then
Collonel
Talbot
)
dated
July
1671.
Supposed
to
be
drawn
up
by
his
Brother
Peter
Talbot
,
then
Titular
Arch-bishop
of
Dublin
,
and
accidentally
dropt
about
that
Time.
Several
Copies
of
which
,
have
for
many
years
been
in
Protestants
hands
.
In
this
Paper
are
proposed
the
Modelling
the
Army
;
the
admitting
Papists
into
Corporations
;
the
bringing
them
to
serve
in
Civil
and
Military
Employments
;
and
the
raising
a
vast
Army
of
them
,
to
be
transported
into
England
on
occasion
.
One
Particular
in
this
Paper
is
Remarkable
;
't
is
in
these
Words
:
The
Toleration
of
the
Roman
Catholick
Religion
in
England
being
granted
;
and
the
Insolency
of
the
Hollanders
taken
down
;
a
Confederacy
with
France
,
which
can
influence
England
,
as
Scotland
can
also
,
will
together
,
with
God's
Blessing
,
make
His
Majesty's
Monarchy
absolute
and
real
.
Where
we
see
that
the
Design
was
to
make
the
King
absolute
:
And
the
Means
proposed
,
Toleration
of
Popery
,
a
War
with
Holland
,
and
a
League
with
France
;
all
which
were
at
that
time
put
in
practice
,
and
have
been
prosecuted
vigorously
to
this
day
.
But
2
dly
.
We
shall
better
understand
the
Depth
of
this
Design
against
us
,
if
we
reflect
on
the
Power
,
Policy
,
and
Number
of
the
Persons
engaged
.
The
Power
and
Money
of
France
;
the
Cunning
and
Craft
of
the
Jesuits
;
the
numerous
and
bigotted
Roman
Clergy
;
the
Wealth
and
Arms
of
England
,
were
all
to
be
employed
to
our
Ruin.
The
indigent
and
desperate
Papists
of
Ireland
were
to
be
Armed
,
and
let
loose
upon
us
;
The
common
Enemy
of
the
Christians
,
the
Turk
,
and
Ravaging
Tartars
were
called
into
Christendom
,
to
promote
this
Design
,
and
their
destructive
Methods
of
managing
Wars
by
universal
Slaughters
,
Havock
,
and
Burnings
,
brought
into
Practice
by
the
more
Vnchristian
French
:
And
to
Crown
their
Design
for
the
general
Slavery
and
Desolation
of
Europe
,
Protestants
were
cajolled
,
bribed
or
compelled
to
fight
against
,
persecute
and
devour
one
another
.
All
which
might
be
proved
by
undeniable
Instances
,
if
this
Sermon
were
designed
for
a
History
.
But
3
dly
,
We
may
have
a
further
Idea
of
the
Depth
of
this
Contrivance
,
from
which
God
has
hitherto
delivered
us
,
if
we
consider
the
Methods
used
for
effecting
it
:
Had
it
been
hatched
in
Hell
,
it
could
not
have
been
more
a
Mystery
of
Iniquity
than
it
was
;
more
Black
and
Villainons
Means
could
not
have
been
applied
to
bring
it
to
Perfection
.
For
1
st
.
We
find
Wicked
,
and
Treacherous
Leagues
and
Conspiracies
entred
into
,
in
order
to
carry
it
on
:
One
of
which
is
more
especially
Notorious
and
Remarkable
for
its
Folly
and
Falshood
.
A
League
so
contrary
to
all
Sence
,
as
well
as
Faith
,
that
the
great
Princes
concerned
in
it
,
are
yet
ashamed
to
own
it
;
a
League
so
mischievous
to
Europe
in
general
,
and
so
destructive
to
England
in
particular
,
that
it
has
brought
them
to
the
very
Brink
of
Destruction
:
And
it
is
only
God's
Miraculous
Providence
that
could
,
or
yet
can
preserve
them
;
a
League
that
broke
the
Ballance
of
Europe
,
so
carefully
preserved
by
our
wise
Fore-Fathers
,
and
by
that
means
has
advanced
one
,
by
depressing
and
sinking
all
the
rest
.
This
is
that
Fatal
Confederacy
with
France
,
proposed
in
the
Fore-mentioned
Paper
:
These
are
the
Engagements
of
Friendship
and
Alliance
,
which
Monsieur
D'
Avaux
the
French
Ambassador
,
tells
the
States
of
Holland
,
in
his
Memorial
of
September
the
9
th
,
1688.
The
King
his
Master
had
with
the
King
of
Great
Britain
;
This
is
the
secret
Treaty
Abbot
Primi
tells
us
,
His
Britannick
Majesty
signed
in
the
Year
1670
,
whereby
he
should
have
secured
to
him
an
absolute
Authority
over
his
Parliament
,
and
the
Re-establishment
of
the
Roman
Catholick
Religion
in
his
Three
Kingdoms
;
This
is
the
Alliance
with
France
,
which
Moloony
the
Popish
Bishop
of
Killaloo
,
in
a
Letter
of
his
to
Bishop
Tyrell
of
March
8
th
.
1689.
(
the
Original
whereof
was
found
amongst
the
Bishops
Papers
,
and
is
ready
to
be
produced
)
is
so
very
angry
that
some
Trimmers
(
as
he
calleth
them
)
obliged
King
James
to
disown
;
and
this
is
the
very
Source
and
Fountain
of
all
the
present
Calamities
of
Europe
,
but
more
particularly
of
ours
.
A
second
Method
of
carrying
on
of
this
Conspiracy
to
Ruin
us
,
was
,
by
corrupting
Ministers
,
by
granting
large
Pensions
,
and
multiplying
Bribes
.
I
wish
this
means
of
promoting
this
wicked
Design
had
stopped
at
Ministers
,
and
that
the
Honour
of
Princes
had
set
them
above
the
Suspition
of
taking
Bribes
;
for
we
are
willing
to
think
that
it
should
be
below
the
Majesty
of
a
Crowned
Head
to
turn
Pensioner
,
or
to
sell
his
Crown
or
People
for
Lewis
d'
Ors.
A
Third
Means
for
carrying
on
this
Contrivance
against
us
,
was
Murthering
and
Poysoning
:
An
Art
too
much
practised
of
late
in
some
Courts
.
And
't
is
observable
,
that
wherever
the
Life
of
a
Protestant
,
stands
between
a
Papist
and
an
Inheritance
,
it
is
of
no
long
continuance
;
nor
doth
any
Prince
begin
to
appear
vigorous
or
terrible
to
France
,
but
he
is
in
danger
to
be
taken
off
in
the
Prime
of
his
Age
,
and
that
not
without
Suspicion
of
Foul
Play
;
witness
Prince
Lewis
of
Brandenburgh
,
and
the
Duke
of
Lorrain
.
There
is
much
Gold
in
France
,
and
there
are
every
where
wicked
Men
ready
to
be
bribed
to
do
any
thing
;
and
't
is
not
supposed
of
some
that
they
scruple
much
to
make
the
Experiment
what
it
is
able
to
do
.
But
4
thly
.
Where
they
could
not
Murther
Protestant
Princes
,
(
it
is
hard
to
say
where
they
have
not
attempted
it
)
they
endeavour
to
defeat
them
of
their
Succession
.
We
all
are
satisfied
that
this
was
the
only
Womb
,
that
conceived
a
Prince
of
Wales
for
us
,
and
gave
him
a
Birth
.
There
was
an
Attempt
of
the
same
kind
,
in
the
days
of
Queen
Mary
,
which
did
not
succeed
to
their
mind
,
but
Time
and
Experience
make
Men
wiser
:
Hence
it
is
,
that
the
Contrivance
that
proved
abortive
then
,
did
with
us
come
to
Perfection
;
but
in
such
a
manner
,
that
at
the
same
rate
(
if
allowed
)
we
might
be
sure
never
to
fail
of
an
Heir
,
to
defeat
a
Protestant
Successor
.
A
5
th
.
Means
of
promoting
this
Design
,
was
,
by
calling
the
Turk
into
Europe
,
and
by
supporting
that
common
Enemy
of
Christianity
,
to
the
Ruine
of
those
that
profess
the
Holy
Name
of
Christ.
And
the
French
King
,
that
he
might
embroyl
Christendom
by
Sea
,
as
well
as
by
Land
,
has
made
his
Pride
stoop
to
his
Interest
,
and
condescended
to
buy
a
Peace
with
the
Algerines
:
Covenanting
with
them
,
to
assist
them
in
their
Pyracies
,
and
their
Enslaving
Christians
.
A
Man
and
his
Designs
are
known
by
his
Friends
and
Confederates
:
Now
the
French
King's
Allies
are
,
the
Banditi
of
Italy
,
the
Pyrates
of
Algiers
,
the
Turks
and
Tartars
of
Asia
,
and
the
Tories
of
Ireland
:
What
a
Mercy
of
God
is
it
,
to
give
us
a
Deliverance
from
the
Conspiracy
and
Designs
of
such
Monsters
.
The
Depth
of
this
Design
appears
from
a
sixth
Method
used
to
Effect
it
,
and
that
was
,
to
stir
up
and
Animate
one
Party
of
Protestants
to
Bite
and
Devour
another
,
'T
is
not
bare
difference
of
Opinion
that
makes
Men
of
different
Sects
,
so
strange
and
unsociable
to
one
another
,
as
we
commonly
observe
them
to
be
;
but
their
Strangeness
and
Enmity
proceeds
either
from
Interest
,
or
from
some
peculiar
Principle
that
obliges
them
to
Persecute
and
Destroy
all
that
differ
from
them
,
tho'
in
a
Trifle
:
Where
neither
of
these
happen
,
or
where
Men
of
different
Opinions
are
not
Encouraged
,
or
suffered
to
hurt
one
another
,
we
see
they
live
very
easily
,
and
lovingly
together
:
Of
which
Holland
is
an
undeniable
Instance
:
And
likewise
this
City
under
our
Late
Common
Sufferings
;
in
which
the
Generality
of
Protestants
,
notwithstanding
their
Difference
in
Judgment
,
lived
with
much
Mutual
Confidence
and
Friendship
.
But
it
is
a
Principle
of
the
Roman
Church
,
that
every
Prince
within
his
own
Dominions
,
is
obliged
to
Extirpate
,
and
Destroy
all
Hereticks
:
And
that
under
no
less
a
Penalty
than
Deposition
.
This
is
required
of
Princes
by
the
Councils
of
Lateran
and
Constance
,
and
all
Popish
States
,
and
Princes
have
been
so
True
to
it
in
their
Practice
,
that
I
do
not
remember
that
there
has
been
,
nor
believe
that
there
is
at
this
present
,
any
Prince
or
State
of
that
perswasion
,
who
doth
Tolerate
any
Religion
besides
their
own
,
in
their
Country
,
where
they
are
able
to
suppress
it
with
safety
to
themselves
:
And
they
have
generally
been
so
eager
upon
it
,
that
many
have
attempted
it
to
their
own
destruction
.
No
wonder
therefore
if
their
Persons
,
and
Religion
be
very
Odious
to
Men
of
different
perswasions
;
since
Every
body
Naturally
hates
one
that
is
always
ready
to
do
him
a
Mischief
.
But
I
wish
that
they
had
kept
this
Principle
to
themselves
,
and
not
industriously
sowed
it
amongst
Protestants
,
among
whom
they
first
,
by
their
Emissaries
sow
False
Doctrines
,
and
raise
Schisms
;
and
then
set
up
others
to
Persecute
,
and
Destroy
those
whom
they
themselves
have
seduced
.
And
when
they
have
prevailed
with
one
party
to
Bate
,
Worry
,
and
Exasperate
another
to
the
Height
,
they
then
take
them
off
for
a
time
,
put
the
Rods
and
Axes
into
the
Hands
of
the
Oppressed
,
and
whilst
they
yet
smart
under
their
sufferings
,
they
stir
them
up
,
and
Encourage
them
to
Revenge
themselves
on
their
Persecutors
.
By
which
arts
they
make
the
breach
irreconcilable
,
and
the
difference
,
tho
inconsiderable
in
it self
,
to
become
the
ground
of
an
Eternal
Schism
and
Feud
,
between
the
Parties
whom
they
have
thus
Dashed
against
one
another
.
We
all
know
that
these
were
the
Methods
used
to
set
us
together
by
the
Ears
,
ever
since
the
Reformation
,
and
in
the
Two
last
Reigns
't
was
particularly
observable
,
that
Toleration
and
Persecution
,
succeeded
one
another
by
turns
;
and
were
timed
just
as
they
served
most
effectually
to
set
People
a
madding
against
one
another
.
One
day
the
Laws
must
all
be
put
in
execution
,
and
none
must
be
a
Favourite
,
that
would
not
be
forward
to
execute
them
;
the
next
day
the
Persecution
must
not
only
be
stopped
,
but
the
instruments
of
it
exposed
to
the
revenge
of
those
they
had
exasperated
,
and
forced
to
take
their
turn
in
suffering
,
by
the
Actions
and
Law-Suits
of
such
as
they
had
wronged
.
Thus
the
common
Conspirators
against
our
Peace
,
Liberty
,
and
Religion
,
blew
the
Coals
,
and
kindled
a
flame
amongst
us
,
that
was
like
to
devour
us
all
:
And
't
is
God's
great
Mercy
that
we
have
escaped
it
.
These
are
a
few
of
those
considerations
which
might
be
offered
to
shew
the
depth
of
this
Design
,
from
which
our
good
God
has
graciously
redeemed
us
.
II.
But
I
haste
to
the
second
Head
of
my
Discourse
,
whence
we
may
have
occasion
to
magnifie
God's
goodness
in
our
Deliverance
:
and
that
is
from
the
extent
of
the
design
against
us
,
which
was
equal
to
its
Depth
,
it
being
of
a
vast
and
comprehensive
Nature
.
The
true
and
great
Design
was
,
to
satisfie
the
Ambition
of
the
King
of
France
,
by
advancing
him
to
the
Vniversal
Monarchy
of
the
West
:
England
might
be
cullied
and
wheedled
with
the
imaginary
pleasure
of
Mastering
his
Parliament
,
of
getting
his
will
of
his
People
,
and
settling
Popery
;
Holland
with
the
hopes
of
Gain
and
free
Trade
;
the
Pope
and
Emperor
,
with
the
specious
pretence
of
re-establishing
the
Catholick
Religion
;
but
the
true
and
bottom
design
was
,
to
enslave
Europe
,
and
to
make
the
French
King
as
great
and
as
pernicious
to
the
Western
Princes
and
States
,
as
the
Turk
has
been
to
the
Eastern
.
And
they
did
not
miss
the
matter
,
who
in
the
Emblem
represented
these
two
as
sawing
the
Globe
a
sunder
,
whilst
the
King
of
Englands
part
was
to
pour
in
Oyl
,
to
make
the
Work
more
easie
for
them
:
A
thing
so
destructive
to
the
true
Interest
of
his
Crown
,
that
it
is
a
Miracle
,
how
he
could
be
prevailed
on
to
accept
of
the
Employment
;
much
more
how
he
should
be
able
to
prevail
with
his
Subjects
to
assist
him
in
it
.
Whatever
he
pretended
of
the
Stubbornness
or
Vngovernableness
of
the
People
of
these
Nations
,
it
certainly
argued
a
very
Passive
and
Submissive
Temper
in
them
,
to
give
Money
so
liberally
,
and
to
Fight
so
fiercely
as
they
did
,
to
destroy
themselves
and
their
Fellow
-
Protestants
;
to
make
sport
for
their
common
Adversaries
,
and
serve
the
Interests
of
their
most
inveterate
and
most
dangerous
Enemy
,
the
French
King.
Secondly
,
The
Design
was
Vniversal
,
and
aimed
at
the
destruction
and
enslaving
all
the
Kingdoms
and
States
of
Europe
;
no
Distinction
of
Protestant
or
Papist
,
Enemy
or
Ally
,
All
were
equally
devoted
to
Destruction
in
it
.
The
Duke
of
Lorrain
was
actually
turned
out
of
his
Dukedom
;
the
Prince
of
Orange
(
His
Present
Majesty
)
was
deprived
of
his
Principality
of
Orange
;
the
Empire
was
partly
to
be
given
up
to
the
Turk
,
and
the
remaining
Princes
were
to
apply
themselves
to
France
for
Protection
,
and
to
chuse
his
Son
King
of
the
Romans
;
the
Dukedom
of
Savoy
was
to
be
brought
in
,
under
the
Notion
of
Pupillage
;
the
Princes
of
Italy
were
frightned
,
bought
,
or
wheedled
out
of
their
strong
Holds
,
and
the
Keys
of
their
Country
(
such
were
Cassal
and
Guastale
)
put
into
French
hands
:
Scicily
was
perswaded
to
Rebel
,
and
sollicited
to
serve
the
Spaniard
,
as
they
had
done
the
French
before
in
the
famous
Vespers
;
Genoa
was
to
be
bombed
,
England
bought
,
and
Holland
drowned
▪
Spain
had
a
barren
Queen
(
designedly
made
so
(
as
many
believe
)
put
upon
him
,
that
his
Crown
might
fall
to
France
by
Succession
;
the
Northern
Kingdoms
,
whose
Cold
and
Distance
secured
them
from
immediate
Attempts
,
were
yet
taken
off
from
assisting
their
Neighbours
,
and
brought
into
something
worse
than
a
Neutrality
.
The
great
Contrivers
and
Managers
of
these
,
were
the
French
King
,
the
Great
Turk
,
and
I
need
not
name
the
Third
,
in
Triumvirate
.
'T
is
too
much
,
that
we
groan
yet
under
the
Mischievous
effects
of
their
Conspiracy
,
which
has
been
no
less
pernicious
to
all
Europe
,
than
that
of
Anthony
,
Lepidus
and
Augustus
,
was
to
the
Roman
Common-Wealth
.
There
is
no
doubt
but
all
these
have
been
designed
,
attempted
,
and
almost
brought
to
Perfection
within
these
Twenty
Years
,
by
strength
of
this
Confederacy·
And
there
is
not
one
Prince
or
State
in
all
Europe
,
that
has
not
been
concerned
in
the
fatal
effects
thereof
.
But
3
dly
,
This
Design
was
levelled
more
immediately
at
the
Destruction
of
the
Protestants
of
Europe
;
the
Extirpation
of
the
Pestilent
Northern
Heresy
has
been
long
known
to
be
the
principal
Article
in
it
,
and
was
probably
the
Pretence
and
Bait
,
that
induced
His
late
Majesty
to
espouse
it
.
He
was
not
fonder
of
being
obeyed
without
Reserve
,
than
of
propagating
his
Religion
;
and
perhaps
he
chiefly
desired
an
Absolute
Authority
over
his
Subjects
,
that
he
might
compel
them
to
come
into
the
Bosom
of
his
Church
.
What
business
had
he
with
a
standing
Army
,
or
numerous
Troops
of
Dragoons
,
but
to
employ
them
as
Missionaries
,
to
Convert
his
Heretical
Subjects
?
The
Example
of
France
had
taught
him
their
use
;
and
that
Dragooning
was
a
much
more
effectual
way
to
Reconcile
Men
,
than
Sermons
or
Arguments
.
In
short
,
by
this
Conspiracy
,
the
Protestants
of
France
are
already
destroyed
;
those
of
Savoy
turned
out
of
their
Country
;
those
of
Holland
have
been
invaded
,
and
forced
to
cover
themselves
with
their
Waters
;
and
as
for
us
in
Ireland
,
I
need
not
tell
you
how
we
have
been
used
,
the
least
hint
is
sufficient
to
refresh
your
Memories
,
and
the
Danger
we
have
escaped
,
is
yet
so
near
,
that
it
supersedes
all
Necessity
of
a
Description
.
It
has
been
said
of
some
,
that
when
they
have
been
shewed
the
next
morning
the
Danger
they
escaped
in
the
night
,
they
have
dyed
with
Apprehension
.
I
am
sure
no
Precipice
can
have
a
more
dreadful
prospect
to
those
that
have
escaped
it
,
than
our
Danger
ought
to
have
,
and
will
have
to
all
that
duly
consider
,
and
look
back
on
it
.
But
God
has
Redeemed
and
Saved
us
out
of
our
Enemy's
hands
;
He
has
brought
us
back
into
our
own
Land
,
and
we
are
now
before
him
this
day
,
to
magnifie
him
for
our
Deliverance
.
Let
us
therefore
join
in
that
which
is
the
Chorus
of
this
Psalm
,
O
that
Men
would
praise
the
Lord
for
his
Goodness
,
and
declare
the
Wonders
he
doth
for
the
Children
of
Men.
But
4
thly
.
This
Conspiracy
had
a
peculiar
respect
to
the
Free
States
of
Europe
:
'T
was
about
the
time
of
the
entring
into
this
League
that
famous
Saying
was
applied
to
Holland
,
Delenda
est
Carthago
;
it
was
pretended
to
be
of
ill
consequence
to
Princes
and
Crowned
Heads
,
to
let
a
Common-Wealth
be
their
Neighbour
,
lest
the
sight
and
example
of
Liberty
might
influence
their
People
,
they
combined
therefore
to
destroy
them
,
that
the
Slaves
of
France
might
not
understand
,
that
there
was
a
milder
Government
in
the
World
,
than
the
Tyranny
of
their
Master
.
If
His
present
Majesty
could
have
been
prevailed
on
,
to
come
into
the
Confederacy
,
he
needed
not
have
ventured
his
Life
to
rescue
England
,
and
merited
a
Crown
by
such
hazardous
Undertakings
.
He
might
have
been
a
KING
out
of
hand
in
his
own
Country
,
and
secured
of
his
Succession
to
the
English
Throne
;
but
he
scorned
Crowns
of
Lewis's
giving
,
much
more
one
that
he
could
not
take
without
injuring
his
Country
,
the
Liberty
of
which
is
due
to
his
Ancestors
,
and
the
Preservation
of
it
to
Himself
.
But
when
they
could
not
corrupt
,
they
resolved
to
destroy
him
,
and
that
more
particularly
,
because
they
look'd
on
him
as
the
Patron
and
Defender
of
the
Liberty
of
Europe
▪
to
which
they
on
all
occasions
declared
their
Enmity
.
'T
is
not
imaginable
,
with
what
Passion
and
Zeal
their
whole
Party
here
,
used
to
enlarge
on
the
Praises
of
an
Absolute
Government
▪
how
impatient
they
were
to
hear
any
one
name
to
them
,
the
Laws
,
the
Liberty
of
the
Subjects
,
or
a
Common-wealth
.
No
,
the
King's
Will
was
the
only
Law
they
could
endure
to
hear
of
;
and
they
mightily
admired
and
praised
the
submissive
Temper
of
the
Mahometans
,
that
counted
themselves
happy
to
be
under
a
Power
which
,
when
it
pleased
,
might
present
them
with
a
Bow-String
.
They
did
not
mince
the
Matter
,
but
only
professed
,
That
they
designed
to
free
the
King
from
the
Chains
of
the
Laws
,
and
the
Pupillage
of
Parliaments
:
Or
,
as
the
Irish
Proposals
I
mentioned
before
,
word
it
,
Make
his
Monarchy
absolute
and
real
.
The
very
Terms
of
the
League
,
according
to
Abbot
Primi
,
were
to
secure
to
the
King
an
absolute
Authority
over
his
Parliament
,
and
the
Re-establishment
of
the
Roman-Catholick
Religion
in
the
Three
Kingdoms
of
England
,
Scotland
and
Ireland
.
But
,
5
thly
.
This
Confederacy
,
or
rather
Conspiracy
,
had
a
peculiar
relation
to
Ireland
.
The
great
Body
and
Magazine
of
Men
,
whose
Hands
were
to
perform
this
Work
in
these
Kingdoms
,
were
to
be
raised
out
of
Ireland
;
the
Irish
Proposals
I
have
so
often
mentioned
,
promise
150000
,
part
of
them
were
to
be
the
King
's
immediate
Guards
,
part
of
them
the
standing
Army
of
England
,
and
all
of
them
the
Instruments
of
our
Slavery
.
In
order
to
make
them
considerable
,
and
to
hire
them
to
do
their
Work
cheerfully
,
Ireland
was
to
be
separated
from
the
Crown
of
England
,
and
made
independent
on
it
;
The
English
Interest
in
it
was
to
be
destroyed
,
and
the
Protestants
,
under
the
Notion
of
Whigs
,
Fanaticks
,
Cromwelians
,
roo●ed
out
of
it
.
How
near
these
things
were
to
taking
effect
,
you
can
all
witness
.
They
were
not
only
designed
and
attempted
,
but
actually
,
for
the
most
part
,
executed
upon
us
;
our
Estates
were
taken
away
,
and
this
Kingdom
cut
off
from
England
,
by
Acts
past
in
their
late
pretended
PARLIAMENT
;
our
Houses
were
filled
with
Souldiers
and
Dragoons
,
our
Churches
possessed
by
Romish
Priests
,
our
Persons
shut
up
in
Prisons
,
and
our
Religious
Assemblies
interdicted
.
Our
Friends
and
Relations
,
our
Nobility
,
Gentry
,
and
Clergy
,
driven
for
the
most
part
out
of
the
Kingdom
,
attainted
for
Life
and
Estates
,
and
an
Army
ready
to
be
transported
into
England
,
if
God
had
not
put
a
stop
to
their
Designs
,
and
confounded
their
Devices
.
'T
is
by
His
mercy
we
are
redeemed
from
the
Lands
,
from
the
North
and
from
the
South
,
and
therefore
let
us
give
Thanks
unto
Him
,
and
Praise
Him.
You
see
then
the
Extent
of
this
Design
,
that
it
took
in
all
the
Princes
and
States
of
Europe
,
that
it
struck
at
our
Estates
,
our
Liberty
,
our
Lives
,
and
above
all
,
at
our
Religion
;
that
it
was
carryed
on
by
many
and
powerful
hands
,
and
by
the
most
secret
and
efficacious
Methods
;
And
who
else
could
defeat
such
a
Contrivance
,
or
put
a
stop
to
it
,
but
the
same
God
that
bounds
the
Sea
with
a
Heap
of
Dust
,
and
says
to
the
Waves
thereof
,
hither
shall
you
come
,
and
no
farther
.
III.
Which
is
a
proper
Introduction
to
my
third
Head
,
The
Miraculous
Concurrence
of
Providences
for
our
Deliverance
,
in
breaking
this
Design
so
deeply
laid
,
and
vigorously
prosecuted
.
These
were
so
many
,
and
so
remarkable
,
that
I
doubt
whether
ever
any
Revolution
was
accompanied
with
a
Chain
of
such
strange
and
unaccountable
Accidents
,
I
shall
mention
only
a
few
,
that
every
body
must
have
observed
,
and
leave
you
to
judge
,
whether
the
Finger
of
God
must
not
be
acknowledg'd
in
them
.
First
therefore
,
it
was
strangely
unaccountable
,
that
the
Pope
,
who
seemed
to
have
a
great
Stake
and
Interest
in
this
Design
,
and
as
one
would
imagine
,
was
most
deeply
concerned
in
the
Success
of
it
,
should
upon
a
trifle
,
break
with
the
French
King
,
and
not
only
desert
his
Party
,
but
most
cordially
espouse
the
opposite
side
:
And
that
the
King
of
France
,
who
never
before
struck
at
any
thing
when
Interest
was
in
the
case
,
upon
the
Worlds
counting
it
base
or
wicked
,
should
refuse
his
Ghostly
Father
common
Justice
in
Matters
of
so
little
moment
,
as
the
Regale
and
Franchises
.
It
is
plain
,
that
the
Pope
has
Right
on
his
side
on
both
these
,
and
that
the
French
King
was
not
much
concerned
,
either
in
Profit
or
Honour
to
defend
them
:
The
Regale
being
a
new
Usurpation
,
and
the
Franchises
an
ancient
Nusance
:
Yet
so
obstinate
have
both
sides
proved
in
the
Contest
,
that
we
hope
't
is
become
irreconcilable
.
Now
if
this
had
not
happened
,
the
Counter-League
of
the
Princes
of
Europe
to
the
French
Conspiracy
,
could
hardly
have
been
entred
into
or
continued
▪
'T
is
this
takes
off
the
Odium
from
the
Emperor
●nd
King
of
Spain
,
of
assisting
His
present
Majesty
to
redeem
England
,
and
deprives
the
French
King
of
the
Advantages
he
proposed
to
himself
,
by
declaring
this
a
War
of
Religion
:
It
being
ridiculous
to
pretend
a
Holy
War
against
the
Father
and
Head
of
his
Church
.
This
aversion
of
the
Pope
to
the
French
designs
is
,
an
Obstacle
in
the
way
,
that
neither
Lewis
nor
James
,
can
yet
get
over
,
tho'
the
one
begs
hard
,
and
the
other
offers
fair
to
remove
it
:
Having
proffered
the
Pope
all
that
he
desired
at
first
,
and
to
oblige
the
French
Clergy
to
own
his
Infallibility
into
the
bargain
.
Thus
God
shews
,
that
the
Hearts
of
Kings
are
in
his
Hands
;
that
he
can
make
them
stoop
,
and
do
mean
things
,
when
it
will
do
them
no
good
;
and
obstinate
,
when
yielding
would
be
serviceable
to
them
.
It
cannot
but
be
esteemed
a
further
Providence
,
that
two
Popes
should
succeed
one
another
of
the
same
humour
,
(
which
is
not
common
)
and
should
persevere
in
the
same
Enmity
to
France
.
But
2
dly
.
It
must
be
owned
as
a
signal
piece
of
Providence
in
God
,
to
have
raised
up
a
man
endued
with
the
Courage
,
Closeness
,
and
Activity
of
his
present
Majesty
;
who
durst
attempt
so
strange
and
(
in
human
probability
)
such
an
impractical
thing
as
our
Deliverance
.
'T
is
a
rare
thing
in
the
World
,
that
one
man
should
have
the
Dexterity
to
Engage
,
and
the
Wisdom
to
Manage
so
many
Different
Interests
into
a
Confederacy
,
and
argues
a
particular
Providence
.
3.
It
was
another
piece
of
Divine
Ordering
,
that
His
Majesty
should
be
so
particularly
interessed
and
engaged
to
undertake
this
Work
,
before
it
was
too
late
,
and
our
Destruction
unavoidable
.
If
we
had
gone
on
a
few
years
in
the
course
,
in
which
we
were
,
in
all
probability
our
Condition
would
have
become
altogether
desperate
.
But
the
eagerness
of
the
Conspirators
to
cut
off
Their
present
Majesties
from
all
hopes
of
Succession
to
the
Crown
,
made
them
introduce
a
Prince
of
Wales
,
two
or
three
years
sooner
than
they
were
ready
for
him
.
They
knew
very
well
when
he
appeared
,
the
Persons
concerned
would
be
provoked
to
the
height
,
and
that
then
,
if
ever
,
Their
present
Majesties
must
appear
for
their
Right
,
and
the
Kingdom
,
for
their
Deliverance
,
against
which
They
were
not
as
yet
prepared
:
For
they
had
not
yet
sufficiently
trained
the
Irish
,
nor
filled
the
Army
in
England
with
Papists
,
for
want
of
which
they
were
not
able
to
make
any
Resistance
against
the
Prince
of
Orange
,
having
awakened
him
,
before
they
were
prepared
for
him
,
and
necessitated
him
to
make
his
Descent
into
England
,
whilst
the
Arms
were
still
for
the
most
part
in
the
Protestants
Hands
,
and
the
Papists
in
no
capacity
to
awe
them
.
4
thly
.
The
very
pretended
Birth
of
the
Prince
of
Wales
was
so
ill
managed
,
that
it
was
not
so
much
as
a
well-contrived
Cheat.
The
very
Papists
complained
of
it
,
and
that
publickly
in
print
.
There
was
published
here
,
(
amongst
many
others
under
the
late
Government
)
a
virulent
Paper
against
His
present
Majesty
,
entituled
,
England's
Crysis
,
or
the
World
well
amended
.
To
give
it
the
greater
Credit
the
Author
pretends
to
be
a
Protestant
,
and
the
Evidence
of
Truth
forced
from
him
this
following
passage
.
One
Reason
of
his
(
the
Prince
of
Orange's
)
Expedition
had
at
least
a
shew
of
Justice
in
the
Quarrel
,
I
mean
the
business
of
the
Prince
of
Wales
,
which
I
cannot
but
confess
,
some
People
managed
,
as
if
they
designed
either
that
we
should
not
believe
at
all
,
or
if
we
did
,
our
Belief
should
be
as
implicit
as
to
Successions
,
and
Inheritances
here
,
as
that
of
the
Romanist
is
in
his
expectation
of
Inheriting
the
Kingdom
of
Heaven
hereafter
.
This
it
is
true
,
they
imputed
to
the
Treachery
of
Councellors
and
Managers
:
But
when
their
Zealots
writ
,
and
King
James
permitted
such
Accounts
of
that
matter
to
be
published
,
't
is
a
sign
the
business
needed
an
Apology
;
and
that
by
God's
just
Judgment
on
them
,
their
usual
Dexterity
failed
them
in
it
.
5
thly
.
It
was
a
Peculiar
Providence
in
this
Affair
,
that
King
James
did
not
adhere
determinately
to
any
Counsels
or
Counsellors
,
but
did
things
irresolutely
,
and
by
halves
.
I
find
Papists
in
their
Letters
to
him
complaining
of
this
,
and
cautioning
him
against
it
.
One
entreats
him
,
for
Gods
sake
not
to
listen
to
Trimming
Counsellors
,
whose
Aversion
to
his
Religion
,
and
cunning
design
of
spinning
out
his
Life
with
their
Pian
Piano
,
put
them
upon
urging
to
him
,
that
great
Alterations
are
dangerous
,
when
carried
otherwise
than
by
slow
and
imperceptible
degrees
.
The
same
tells
him
,
That
nothing
causes
Irresolution
more
than
a
Medley
of
Councellors
of
a
Different
Religion
from
their
Prince
.
Yet
King
James
could
never
free
himself
from
this
Medley
:
And
that
is
the
Reason
that
his
Actions
were
never
of
a
Piece
,
and
that
he
commonly
spoyled
his
Business
by
doing
too
much
,
and
yet
too
little
.
Thus
he
ought
either
not
to
have
brought
any
Irish
or
French
into
his
Army
.
or
made
the
whole
entirely
Papists
;
he
ought
either
to
have
accepted
the
French
King's
Assistance
and
Fleet
without
Reserve
,
or
else
broken
with
him
altogether
,
and
declared
against
him
:
But
by
hanging
between
both
,
he
lost
the
Affections
of
his
own
Subjects
,
which
might
have
supported
him
,
and
the
Benefit
of
Forreign
Assistance
.
His
doing
and
undoing
things
had
the
same
effect
;
In
wh●ch
,
and
many
other
particulars
,
his
not
sticking
entirely
to
one
sort
of
Counsellors
,
was
to
us
a
great
Providence
.
I
must
reckon
it
as
a
Sixth
,
that
the
States
of
Holland
should
,
without
scruple
,
trust
their
All
into
His
Majesty's
Hand
,
and
be
content
to
run
his
Fortune
:
Which
they
plainly
did
in
his
Expedition
.
We
all
know
,
that
the
United
Netherlands
are
a
Free
People
,
most
Jealous
of
their
Liberty
,
and
who
have
done
and
suffered
more
to
maintain
it
,
than
perhaps
any
Nation
in
the
World.
And
as
they
are
jealous
of
their
Liberty
,
so
they
are
close
and
wary
,
and
not
apt
to
venture
too
much
at
one
stake
.
Now
,
that
such
a
People
should
commit
the
Absolute
Disposal
of
their
Navy
,
their
Armies
,
and
their
Money
,
the
very
Sinews
of
their
State
,
to
one
man
,
and
venture
all
in
the
same
Bottom
with
him
,
was
an
unbounded
Trust
and
Kindness
,
as
His
Majesty
himself
is
said
to
have
expressed
it
to
them
.
They
trusted
not
only
Him
,
but
the
Winds
and
Seas
for
his
sake
:
And
tho'
they
had
such
entire
Confidence
in
his
Conduct
and
Faith
,
as
not
to
ask
him
what
he
designed
;
yet
the
Hazard
of
a
Winter
Voyage
,
where
the
whole
of
their
State
was
at
once
exposed
to
the
mercy
of
a
Tempest
,
was
sufficient
to
have
s●umbled
them
,
had
not
the
same
God
that
inclined
the
Hearts
of
Israel
,
as
of
one
man
,
towards
David
,
knit
their
Hearts
to
him
,
and
made
them
tender
of
his
Life
and
Person
,
where
they
,
without
Hesitation
,
ventured
their
State.
7
thly

It
must
be
owned
as
an
Effect
of
the
same
Providence
,
that
King
James's
Court
and
Ministers
was
so
blinded
,
that
they
could
not
see
into
His
present
Majesty's
Designs
,
and
so
secure
,
that
they
would
not
give
credit
to
the
many
Advices
given
them
of
these
Preparations
;
of
which
we
can
give
no
other
account
than
that
of
Job
,
Chap.
5.13
.
He
taketh
the
Wise
in
their
own
craftiness
,
and
the
Councel
of
the
Froward
is
carryed
headlong
;
They
meet
with
Darkness
in
the
Day
,
and
grope
in
the
Noon-day
,
as
in
the
Night
.
8
thly
.
I
shall
only
mention
King
James's
Deserting
his
Army
in
England
,
on
which
if
he
had
absolutely
cast
Himself
,
and
depended
on
their
Fidelity
,
it
is
certain
,
by
what
has
happened
since
,
that
a
great
part
of
them
would
have
stood
by
him
.
There
were
enow
to
make
a
Vigorous
Opposition
,
who
were
willing
to
run
his
Fortune
,
if
God
had
not
Enfeebled
their
Courage
,
and
put
fear
in
their
Hearts
.
It
was
this
opened
the
way
to
one
of
the
greatest
Revolutions
that
ever
happened
in
that
Kingdom
,
almost
without
a
Drop
of
Blood.
Which
must
be
owned
as
a
singular
Providence
.
9
thly
.
It
was
an
over-reaching
Act
of
Providence
to
make
that
the
Key
to
open
a
Way
for
our
Settlement
,
which
was
projected
by
our
Enemies
,
as
the
certain
means
to
Embroil
us
for
ever
.
I
suppose
no
body
doubts
,
but
those
who
advised
King
James
to
Desert
the
Kingdom
,
believe
that
we
could
never
come
to
a
Settlement
without
him
;
and
yet
the
Event
proved
directly
contrary
to
their
Expectation
:
For
his
Presence
in
all
probability
had
been
such
a
Rub
to
our
Settlement
,
that
it
had
not
been
easie
to
get
over
it
.
It
was
indeed
strange
we
should
come
to
a
Resolution
so
soon
,
especially
where
the
Weight
of
the
Matter
was
so
great
,
and
the
Opinions
of
Men
so
divided
,
that
in
the
near
equality
of
Voices
,
the
Wisest
could
not
foresee
how
it
would
end
,
till
Heaven
it self
determined
it
.
For
what
else
could
have
brought
such
different
Interests
and
Judgments
,
to
acquiesce
in
the
Conclusion
.
Neither
in
the
10
th
.
Place
must
we
imagine
,
that
that
strange
and
absurd
Division
of
Protestants
in
England
,
into
Jacobites
and
Williamites
,
happened
without
a
Providence
.
Whatever
Sense
some
may
have
of
it
in
other
respects
,
we
of
this
Kingdom
,
must
own
it
as
a
great
and
signal
Mercy
.
King
James
and
his
Adherents
here
,
reckoned
upon
a
strong
and
numerous
Party
in
England
;
and
were
afraid
,
if
they
had
utterly
destroyed
us
,
that
they
should
have
lost
them
;
and
therefore
in
many
cases
were
oblig'd
to
bear
an
easier
hand
towards
us
,
than
otherwise
they
would
have
done
.
And
whatever
Favour
or
Forbearance
we
received
from
them
,
it
was
intirely
due
to
this
Consideration
.
This
was
the
Use
God
made
of
this
Faction
,
and
now
it
has
served
his
Purpose
,
I
hope
he
will
extinguish
it
.

God
in
his
Providence
so
order'd
it
,
that
King
James
found
an
unexpected
Diversion
in
Ireland
,
that
employed
all
his
Forces
till
things
were
settled
in
England
;
and
till
his
Present
Majesty
had
leisure
to
break
the
Enemies
Power
in
Scotland
;
and
prepare
for
the
Conquest
of
Ireland
.
Had
King
James
on
his
Landing
in
Ireland
,
found
no
Opposition
in
it
,
but
been
intirely
at
Liberty
to
join
his
Forces
with
that
Party
that
appeared
for
him
in
our
Neighbouring
Kingdom
,
every
one
is
sensible
,
how
fatal
the
Event
might
have
proved
:
Not
only
to
England
,
but
also
to
the
Liberty
of
all
Europe
.
But
it
pleased
God
to
find
him
Work
here
by
an
unexpected
Opposition
,
which
not
only
imployed
,
but
ruined
his
best
Men
;
and
lost
him
such
an
Opportunity
,
as
never
could
again
be
expected
.
If
we
consider
the
Places
and
Persons
that
made
this
Opposition
,
it
is
a
Miracle
that
they
should
undertake
,
much
more
that
they
should
succeed
in
it
.
And
it
looks
as
if
God
Almighty
in
his
Providence
had
raised
them
up
for
that
Juncture
,
and
inspired
them
with
Resolution
,
in
an
extraordinary
Manner
,
to
shew
his
Power
in
their
weakness
,
and
his
Care
of
us
,
in
the
Seasonableness
of
their
Undertaking
.
Our
Enemies
were
very
sensible
of
the
Unluckiness
of
this
Accident
,
as
they
called
it
,
and
curst
Derry
and
Eniskillin
as
the
Occasion
of
the
Ruin
of
their
Affairs
.
12
thly
.
It
was
certainly
a
great
Providence
to
us
,
that
his
Majesty
in
Person
should
undertake
the
Reduction
of
Ireland
,
at
a
time
,
and
in
such
Circumstances
,
that
King
James
,
and
his
Party
judged
it
impossible
:
And
promised
themselves
that
they
had
made
him
such
Work
at
home
,
that
he
should
rather
fear
an
Invasion
from
Ireland
,
than
think
of
an
Expedition
into
it
.
But
the
Providence
of
God
,
by
his
single
Courage
and
Resolution
,
broke
all
their
Measures
,
and
put
them
out
of
those
Methods
,
which
they
imagined
so
well
concerted
,
that
it
must
be
impossible
to
defeat
them
.
13
thly
.
Can
it
be
ascribed
to
any
thing
else
than
a
singular
Providence
,
that
they
should
mistake
themselves
,
and
disregard
the
Advices
,
or
rather
(
as
they
themselves
used
to
call
them
)
their
Orders
from
France
,
so
,
as
to
put
themselves
to
the
hazard
of
a
Battle
,
when
delay
was
so
much
their
Interest
whatever
it
cost
them
,
and
so
easie
to
them
,
had
they
not
been
infatuated
?
14
thly
.
It
was
no
less
an
Over-ruling
Providence
,
that
an
Army
so
well
Trained
,
Disciplined
,
and
Armed
;
and
so
advantageously
posted
,
should
make
so
little
Opposition
.
The
Advantage
of
their
Post
by
all
Intelligent
men
,
was
reckoned
above
three
to
one
;
and
it
had
been
impossible
to
beat
them
from
it
,
had
not
the
God
of
Battles
enfeebled
their
hearts
,
and
animated
his
Majesty
to
an
Attempt
,
that
seems
next
in
strangeness
to
that
of
Jonathans
on
the
Philistines
:
And
which
perhaps
,
only
his
Majesty
of
all
Men
living
,
would
have
attempted
.
15
thly
.
Add
to
this
,
the
strange
Panick
Fear
that
seized
the
Vanquished
.
Tho'
their
Troops
were
for
the
most
part
untouched
,
and
a
very
few
fallen
;
yet
such
Dread
and
Terror
possessed
them
,
as
did
formerly
the
Syrians
at
Samaria
,
and
they
fled
where
no
man
pursued
them
.
King
James
did
not
stop
till
he
got
out
of
the
Kingdom
,
and
his
Army
fled
as
far
as
the
Sea
would
let
them
;
had
they
had
ships
,
they
would
have
gone
all
together
.
16
thly
.
I
must
remark
it
further
as
a
peculiar
Providence
,
that
his
Majesties
Victory
happened
at
such
a
Critical
Time
,
that
the
Peace
of
England
,
nay
perhaps
the
Fate
of
Europe
,
depended
on
it
,
Had
it
but
been
delayed
one
Week
,
no
body
knows
what
would
have
been
the
Consequence
.
17
thly
,
The
saving
of
this
City
of
Dublin
from
so
often
threatned
,
and
(
as
both
we
,
and
the
generality
of
our
Enemies
believed
,
)
resolved
Destruction
,
is
another
piece
of
Divine
Goodness
:
And
withal
so
strange
,
that
we
can
yet
give
no
Account
of
it
,
or
so
much
as
guess
at
what
altered
their
Resolution
.
I
need
only
mention
this
to
most
of
my
Hearers
,
to
fill
their
hearts
with
Admiration
,
and
open
their
Mouths
with
Thansgiving
to
God
,
for
the
Miracles
of
his
Mercies
.
18
thly
.
And
yet
there
is
still
behind
a
greater
Miracle
and
Mercy
than
this
,
and
which
we
can
hardly
think
on
without
Terror
,
and
that
was
,
the
Miraculous
Preservation
of
his
Majesties
Person
in
the
Battle
:
To
whom
we
may
apply
what
David
affirms
of
himself
,
there
is
but
a
step
between
me
and
Death
;
our
danger
came
nearer
,
even
within
a
hairs
breadth
.
If
there
were
no
dangers
&
difficulties
in
Life
,
we
should
not
be
sensible
of
particular
Providences
:
But
one
such
escape
as
this
,
awakens
the
Sense
of
Religion
,
and
of
Gods
Power
,
more
in
our
Hearts
,
than
many
years
of
even
and
un-interrupted
Happiness
.
We
must
acknowledge
that
all
our
Lives
in
him
,
were
at
the
Mercy
of
that
one
Bullet
:
And
't
was
surely
the
God
of
Battles
in
his
unspeakable
Mercy
and
Providence
preserved
us
.
If
Thousands
of
us
had
dyed
,
the
Enemy
would
not
have
cared
for
us
:
And
notwithstanding
they
lost
the
Battle
,
yet
they
would
have
counted
it
a
Victory
,
and
their
loss
sufficiently
Ballanced
by
the
single
Life
of
his
present
Majesty
.
'T
is
certain
they
would
willingly
have
given
their
Army
for
it
.
And
this
alone
is
sufficient
to
teach
us
how
to
value
it
,
and
what
thanks
we
owe
to
God
for
preserving
it
.
In
short
,
we
had
not
,
neither
have
we
yet
in
our
utmost
view
,
another
chance
to
save
us
,
our
Liberties
,
Estates
or
Religion
,
but
this
one
,
of
His
Majesties
coming
to
the
rescue
of
these
Kingdoms
:
And
his
undertaking
it
has
been
carried
on
by
such
a
miraculous
Chain
of
Providences
,
that
we
must
acknowledge
,
it
is
by
the
Grace
of
God
,
that
William
and
Mary
are
now
our
King
and
Queen
.
Perhaps
they
have
more
visible
reasons
to
put
that
in
their
Titles
,
than
any
Princes
in
Christendom
.
Let
us
therefore
own
the
whole
of
our
Deliverance
to
be
a
work
of
God
,
and
ascribe
it
intirely
to
him
,
without
assuming
any
part
of
it
to
our selves
.
God
in
his
Providence
has
so
ordered
the
matter
,
that
we
,
in
this
place
,
have
had
no
hand
in
it
,
or
pretence
to
it
.
And
as
for
others
,
it
plainly
appears
not
to
be
so
much
a
work
of
man
,
or
carried
on
by
humane
means
,
as
by
the
over-ruling
Providence
of
God.
'T
was
manifestly
God
,
rather
than
the
People
,
set
our
King
and
Queen
on
the
Throne
.
The
People
Obstructed
it
as
much
as
they
could
,
by
their
Divisions
;
the
Nobles
Opposed
it
;
the
Mighty
stood
up
to
hinder
it
;
the
Nations
Combined
against
it
;
but
God
had
them
in
Derision
,
and
not
only
delivered
their
Majesties
from
the
Striving
of
the
people
,
but
also
made
them
their
Head.
'T
is
He
,
the
most
High
,
that
Ruleth
in
the
Kingdom
of
Men
,
and
giveth
it
to
whomsoever
he
will.
'T
is
He
raised
up
King
William
to
be
a
Deliverer
to
us
.
And
to
sum
up
all
.
'T
is
He
that
delivered
us
from
so
great
a
death
,
and
doth
deliver
:
In
whom
we
Trust
that
▪
he
will
yet
deliver
us
.
And
therefore
to
him
be
the
sole
glory
of
it
.
And
now
,
that
God
has
so
signally
appeared
for
us
,
let
us
(
which
was
the
Second
General
Head
I
proposed
)
Consider
what
Returns
we
are
Obliged
to
make
him
.
First
,
Let
us
Remember
that
it
was
not
for
nothing
that
he
Delivered
us
.
He
had
Certainly
a
Peculiar
design
in
saving
us
from
the
Hands
of
our
Enemies
,
by
so
many
and
so
Remarkable
Providences
,
even
that
we
might
serve
him
without
fear
.
Let
us
therefore
Employ
those
Lives
,
Liberties
,
Estates
and
Churches
to
his
service
,
that
he
has
preserved
for
us
,
and
restored
to
us
.
Let
us
avoid
those
provocations
that
induced
him
to
bring
such
Heavy
Judgments
upon
us
;
and
let
us
Remember
,
how
Easy
it
is
for
him
to
bring
us
to
a
condition
much
worse
,
than
that
from
whence
he
delivered
us
;
and
assure
our selves
,
that
if
instead
of
serving
him
,
we
serve
his
Enemies
the
Devil
,
and
our
Lusts
,
he
will
make
his
Providence
as
signal
in
our
future
punishment
,
as
it
has
been
in
our
present
Deliverance
.
It
were
Easy
to
point
out
the
sins
that
provoked
God
,
and
Occasioned
our
late
Sufferings
,
and
the
same
causes
will
always
have
the
same
Effects
.
2
dly
.
Let
us
own
God's
goodness
to
us
in
our
late
Sufferings
,
how
in
the
midst
of
his
anger
,
he
remembred
Mercy
;
how
he
made
our
Sufferings
easier
to
us
than
we
expected
,
and
relieved
us
sooner
than
we
could
have
reasonably
imagined
;
he
continued
us
amongst
the
living
,
when
we
expected
Death
;
He
gave
us
Hearts
to
bear
up
under
our
Pressures
,
and
made
us
Unanimous
and
kind
to
one
another
;
He
pr●served
us
from
Famine
and
Pestilence
,
which
we
feared
,
and
granted
us
,
for
the
most
part
,
Opportunity
of
Meeting
together
,
to
Worship
him
;
and
in
many
things
rather
afforded
our
Enemies
an
occasion
of
shewing
their
Malice
,
and
wicked
Intentions
against
us
,
than
of
Executing
them
.
So
that
we
must
acknowledge
with
the
Psalmist
▪
That
the
Lord
has
Chastned
,
and
Corrected
us
,
but
hath
not
given
us
over
unto
Death
.
3
dly
.
Let
us
be
thankful
to
God
for
our
Deliverers
,
and
thankful
to
them
for
the
great
Pains
they
have
taken
,
and
the
great
Dangers
they
have
run
to
effect
it
.
This
is
in
a
manner
all
we
can
return
them
at
present
,
for
all
the
Pains
and
Costs
they
have
been
at
for
us
▪
and
for
all
the
Generosity
they
have
shewed
towards
us
:
Our
Enemies
having
disabled
us
in
a
great
Measure
,
either
to
help
our selves
,
or
make
any
Retribution
to
them
.
However
,
what
we
can
do
,
let
us
do
cheerfully
.
And
let
us
return
at
least
our
hearty
acknowledgments
and
Prayers
to
God
for
them
:
Especially
for
their
Majesties
,
whose
Parts
have
been
so
signal
in
it
,
that
they
revive
in
our
Minds
the
Memories
of
the
Ancient
Heroes
,
the
Kings
of
England
;
the
Edwards
,
Henries
,
and
(
of
Queens
)
the
fam'd
Elizabeth
,
that
made
us
safe
at
home
,
and
dreadful
to
our
Neighbours
.
If
we
consider
what
we
have
seen
the
King
do
in
Ireland
,
and
what
part
her
Majesty
in
the
mean
time
acted
in
England
;
it
must
be
our
own
faults
if
we
are
not
a
happy
People
under
such
Princes
,
and
we
must
be
very
ungrateful
both
to
God
and
Them
,
if
we
are
not
sensible
of
his
Goodness
in
blessing
us
with
such
Governors
;
either
of
which
seems
capable
of
Governing
much
larger
Territories
,
than
they
yet
possess
.
And
I
hope
as
they
are
Entitled
to
them
,
so
in
time
they
will
acquire
them
.

thly

Let
us
spare
no
pains
nor
costs
to
perfect
this
happy
Work
of
our
Deliverance
:
And
let
us
remember
that
if
this
had
not
happened
,
we
must
have
lost
our
Estates
and
Liberty
,
and
perhaps
together
with
them
,
our
Lives
.
Who
would
not
within
these
last
Three
Years
have
given
one
half
of
his
Estate
to
save
the
other
?
And
then
what
great
matter
if
we
give
half
of
our
In-comes
for
some
Years
,
to
Enable
Their
Majesties
to
secure
the
whole
to
us
,
since
whatever
it
cost
us
,
't
is
but
restoring
part
of
what
we
have
saved
,
or
had
Restored
by
their
Means
.
5
thly
.
Let
us
not
grudge
or
murmur
at
the
Hardships
,
or
Difficulties
,
with
which
we
may
be
obliged
to
struggle
for
a
few
Years
.
No
great
Cure
was
ever
perfected
without
putting
the
Patient
to
some
pain
;
and
then
why
should
we
expect
it
?
Those
that
saw
not
what
we
suffered
under
the
Late
Government
,
may
think
some
things
hard
at
present
.
But
I
observe
that
the
People
of
this
Kingdom
,
that
seem
to
have
the
greatest
Cause
to
complain
,
are
best
satisfied
:
Which
gives
us
reason
to
suspect
,
that
if
any
complain
,
't
is
rather
from
their
dissatisfaction
with
the
present
Government
,
than
their
Particular
Uneasiness
.
And
I
am
afraid
some
among
us
are
become
like
the
Roman
Common-Wealth
in
the
Time
of
Sylla
,
which
as
the
Historian
observes
,
could
neither
indure
its
Wounds
nor
its
Remedy
:
'T
is
want
of
Experience
in
the
World
for
any
one
to
Expect
,
that
such
a
great
Revolution
should
be
brought
about
,
without
Exposing
many
to
Hardships
and
Difficulties
.
But
he
that
has
Patience
shall
see
the
end
of
his
Hope
.
Lastly
,
Let
us
lay
aside
all
Animosities
amongst
our selves
,
and
all
Virulency
against
our
Enemies
.
Let
us
be
Charitable
to
the
