Thus have I brought you again to my Text: which (as you heard before) affords many considerable Observations. So much time hath bin spent in setting out the pattern of a worthy Patriot, as there can be no expectation of handling all the nine Doctrines collected out of this Text. The first is the chiefest of all and compriseth the pith of all the rest within it. May I have liberty and ability to touch upon it, I will give place to my reverend Brother, that with greater strength may hold out the solemnization of this days humiliation.
