My Brethren, we have cause to bless God, that God 1hath raised up instruments for us, who have hazarded the shortening of their own lives for the shortening of the War, who have done their work of late this year, as 2if they took it by the great; there is a froward and envious Generation of men that will say of some kind of men because they differ from them in somethings, they would be glad that these troubles might continue because they might have the more liberty. But we see that men, though of different judgments, they do not take a course to have the trouble continue, you see how they hazard themselves to make all the hast possibly they can, and that to admiration, and doing things in the winter season, that is not ordinarily heard of among other Nations, and all this, that the Sword may not abide upon 3their Country, but that peace may be hastened, so that the blessing of God be upon such.
