In a word,1 Noble Peers and Patriots, you have in your hands the fairest opportunity and the richest advantages to make Christ glorious, the Church beautiful, the State honourable, your Names precious, your selves so many Moses's and Joshua's, the Saviours of the People, that ever Nobility or Parliament had. Oh take heed of sinning away such an opportunity.
- 1Jer. 5.
One word to all that stand before God this day,1 and the whole people of this Land, and I have done.
- 1To All.
11. Despair not, though you may see the work at many a loss and many a dead-lift, as you have seen it already. When was it otherwise? Call for the Chronicles, read over the Stories of all Church-deliverances: when was it otherwise? If ye will not believe, 2surely you shall not be established. Know this, a Deliverance of Gods promising and setting on foot, shall go on in spite of all Set-backs and opposition: there is Comfort.
