New-England, Be humbly Thankful to thy God, and exalt the God of thy Fathers. God forbid there should be any Murmurers among us all. A year or two ago, we would have been Thankful for a small moiety of what we now enjoy: But if our Praises are not yet enough animated, I pray then, let us make a comparison of our Condition.

Compare our Condition with that of ⟨p. 46⟩them in Hungary. The Protestant Churches there, have been made a Desolation, and it would break an heart of Stone to Hear, what both Pastors and People have endured. Should you see one of the poor Confessors come out of an hideous Dungeon full of T••ds, and Snakes, and Excrements; with their very Throats putrefied, their Teeth fallen out, and their Eyes gone into their Heads, and their Flesh mangled in a thousand places, you could not forbear preaching a Sermon on, Thankfulness to God Imagine your selves under the continual Executions of the most witty Devils, and all that shall but relieve you with a bit of Bread, torn to pieces by the hand of an Hangman, and you will see what has befallen the most venerable Ministers of that Kingdom, until the Protestant Religion has been almost extirpated there, and this after the Oaths of their Monarch to support it.
