The goodness of God celebrated; in remarkable instances and improvements thereof: and more particularly in the redemption remarkably obtained for the English captives, which have been languishing under the tragical, and the terrible and the most barbarous cruelties of barbary. : [Six lines from Psalms]
printed by T. Green for Benjamin Eliot, 1703

And we must have a Sight of it, […] every sin wherewith we are Chargeable is an Odious, a Dangerous, a Damnab•• Evil; an Abominable Thing. Our sight a• ⟨p. 7⟩•ense must be that, 2 Sam. 24.10. I have •inned, I have done very foolishly.
