Would it not have made trouble, to spill the blood of thousands? Was it not an attempt to make trouble, to attempt all these things which would probably, that I say not certainly, have been the issue of that plot, if it had succeeded? Let us therefore praise the Lord, who was pleased to prevent it, and said it shall not be. They did every thing to make trouble, but make trouble; they did every thing, but prosper in their design: They took secret counsel, they took oaths, yea they took the Sacrament to assure the secrecy of those counsels and oaths. All this they did towards the making of trouble, yet they could not; God said at that time let England be in quietness; and therefore, only, those Romish Emissaries and incendiaries could not make trouble.

Again, If we consider the present season wherein we live, 'tis a confirmation of this truth, God hath given us quietness for some years; and hath he not preserved this quietness hitherto, against all those both persons and things that would have made trouble? if God had not confirmed our peace, we had been in trouble long before this time, but yet our peace continueth, yet it continueth; and is it not wonderful that it should continue, if we consider.
