Sixthly, I• serving you by your […] Counsel. •ow visibly hath God turned what the enemy intended for •vil, to be good to us? so we may say as Joseph to his Brethren, as for you you thought •vil to me, but God meant it for good. You know how they have despitefully removed the Magistracy of the place, but behold how much the Lord hath turned it for your good! had they set up a Magistracy, it had been the loss of your liberty. They had a spiteful eye upon you; and it was thought that […] long agone would have been too hot for her inhabitants; & yet behold what freedom and liberty we have lived in! behold, men curse, but God hath blessed us the more. Oh, how strange a thing is this that you should eat and drink in peace! and go forth and come in in peace! that you should attend the ordinances in peace.
