We are called upon to cor$-

of them 3 and what ought to be the real

If We feel no kindly Influences from them
upon our own Affairs , it will be Impoffible
to warm ourfelves into any Difpofition of
Mind that can be call'd Thankfulness:
Which muft always be founded upon
fomething, in which We ourfelves have a
part. They -will be only like other Hif-
torical Matters of Fatt'^ fomething to a-
mufe and entertain Us , ferving to pJeafe
our Curiofity, but not to raife our Gra-
titude. And if We feel the Sentiments
of Joy and .Thankfulnefs , riling in our
Breads , ; from fuch Principles and Mo-
tives, as no True Chrijlian, Proteftant, or
Britann , ought to entertain : Oar Joy
then becomes the fame with the Joy of
our Worft Enemies ^ and the Exprefiions
of it no better than the Tokens, either
of our Bli.ndhefs , or -of our Corrupti-
on.

Friends of both, and the Enemies of both,
to have the fame Mouvements and PaiTi-
ons, upon the fame Occasions. It is im-
poffible for a Proteftant^ if He knows
what that Word means, to raife his Joy
Upon the- fame, Foundation with a Pa-
pi ft. , It is impoflibk for a Lover of his
Religion, and his Country, to rejoye.0
with Thofe who firmly believe it to be
their Duty to rejoyce in nothing more,
than in the Ruine'of both.

As our Joy therefore, could not pofllbly
difcover it felf upon this D^y, if the Pro-
vidence of GpxJ had done Great Things, not
for Usy but for our Forefathers alone ^ and
had permitted them to flop the Eleffing from
defcending,- or ^o Convey down a Curfe in-
ilead of it : And, as Our Joy cannot, in
the Nature of things, be the Joy of our
Enemies ^ becaufe it muft be raifed upon
fomething of our own Happinefs, which
They have hitherto always made incon-
fiftent with Theirs : Let Us now proceed
upon this Foundation, and confider,

The

8 A SERMONpreacb'd

The Great Things God hath done for £/>,
in that whole Scene of Providence, which
tbrs T)ay opened.

This will naturally fix our Minds, in
a more particular Manner, upon the Btef-
fagf, in which We are immediately con-

cernM.

. '

And this will unavoidably lead Us to
fame Thoughts of Importance to the prefent

and Future Intereft of the Nation.

. i

Now, the Whole Scene of Providence,
which This "Day opened, and which, taken
In one View, 'can alone be fa id to make
this Day a Blefling to Vs9 is indeed a
Scene , full of a long Train of Incidents,
and a-vaft Variety of Circumftances, enough
to make both Prince and People, in this
Nation, for ever Wife and Happy.

The

tff&re the KING. 9

The firft Part of it, is a King reftoretf
to his Kingdom -, with his Brother , in
view, to fucceed Him : but this, not till*
on one Hand, He had feen, both by Ex*
ample, and Experience, how terrible in
it's EffectSj the popular Dread of Arbitra-
ry Power could (hew it felf, whenever it
was fet on fire , and not till^ on the CK
ther hand, his People had fufficiently felt
how great an Evil the want of their Legal
Government was.

One would think, here was a plain
Middle way of Wifdom and Htppinefc
pointed out, even by Senfe it felfc But
there was another, and a very different
Turn given to this Affair, by the Indefa-
tigable Workings, and Artifices, of out
Enemies. An Univerfal Madnefs of 'Loy-
alty ^ (falfly fo called,,) as well as of JMbth
ners, psefently took place : And the Peo-
ple came prefling in Throngs, befeeching to
be accounted Slaves, rather than Subjects 5
and begging, in Words, for Opportunities

of Unlimited Submiffion, as if they were
begging for ABs of Grace and favour.
The View in Tbofe, who then had the
Direction of their Paffions, was to keep
that Spirit up to a pitch, till a Popijb
Heir was fecure of the Throne. Nor
could all the Knowledge of the Nature
and Principles of Popery, nor the avow-
ed Contradi&ien of it to the Religion and
Liberties of their Country, engage the
Hearts of many , or divert them from the
Refolution of trufting the whole Concerns
of a Proteftant Nation, in the Hands of a
Popijb Prince ; Who at length took pof-
feffion of the Throne, to which He was
thus called.

'

-

Nor had He enjoyed the Power long, be-
fore He obliged His Friends with frequent
Trials of the Sincerity of their Profefli-
ons. For, as it appears, He had fo much
better .an Opinion of their Integrity, than
his PredeceJJor had , that He really
thought them in earneft -5 and refolved to
hazard all, -with a dependence upon the

Honefty

before the K I N G. 1 1

Honefty of their folemn Pronilfes of
Unbounded Submijfion. This indeed pro-
ved fatal to Himfelf, in the Event : But,
in all humane appearance , was much
more likely to have proved fatal to the
whole Nation.

If We flop a little here, and confider
this Unhappy Prince, pofTefs'd of all the
Power our Laws could veft in Him, and
flatter'd with a Power above all Laws ,
and armed, in all humane Appearance
with" a fufficient Force to put his Refo-
lutions in Execution •, We may ask any
Proteftant in the Nation , if He will
but put himfelf into that pofture of
Mind in which every one felt himfelf
at that Seafon, What was then become of
the Bleffing of this Day .<? And , what
would it now have avail'd Us , that
our Forefathers faw their Legal Conftitu-
tion reftored to them , and rejoyced to
fee it 5 if the very defloration of it had
proved, in the IlTue, the Ruinc and De-
B 2 ftruction

t* A SERMON

ftruftion of all the Legal Rights of thei?
Pojlerity.

But the Grand Deflgn of Providence ex-
tended much farther. There is a Principal
fart of it yet behind : And this was, to
tnake it a Ming Blefling. And the Way
was laid for this, in a method, if you
confider it in itfelf , the moft eafy and
natural } as Providence always loves to
work by humane Means-} if you confider
it in that gteat variety and vicuTitude of
Circiimftances attending it, the moft in-
ftruftive and ufeful to a 'Nation : And, if
you confider it with regard to the ma^
ny Probabilities that feem M to weigh
agamft the fuccefs of it, little lefs than
miraculous. When it was fix'd by Provi-
dence to bring about the defloration of the
Royal Family, and the Legal Confitution of
this Kingdom :, and to continue it a Bkf*
fng to the Generations to come j it was
necef&ry, in order to this, to make fuch
a Difpofition of Affairs, as might be fuLj
j and adapted, to *he AcGompliihment

of it. But firft, the Nation was to feel
many and various Trials j many Vicif-
fitudes of Hope, and Fear -, many Con-
flicts between the Attempts of Popery -, and
Slavery, on the one hand, and the ftrug-
glings of True Religion, and Liberty, on
the other j before fo great a Work could
be concluded- And tben, at length, the
Embarrafsments of Humane Madnefs were
to be difentangled j and all the Plots and
Efforts of Cunning and Power, united in
order to intail a Curfe upon all Pofterity,
where God defigjn'd a Bleffing , were to
be diffipated, and fcatter'd into Air.

With a View to this , a Prince was
born fome Years before the Reftoration,
that He might be ripe, both in Age,
and Abilities , for the performing the
great Defign , juft when thofe Attempts
(liould be ripening into Execution : And
was afterwards^ by a kind Difpofition of
Providence, to make the way the eafier,
married into the fame Royal Family, from
He defended. Ancl accordingly,

when

14 A SERMON f reach* d

when the Scene of Ruine was opened fa
plainly that no Eye was then too blind
to fee it, He appear'd in all the matu-
rity of WHdom , and vigour of A&ion :
a Prince, inur'd to Labours and Hardfhips
from his Birth, prepared for the great
Work, by his perfonal Accompli fh ments ,
directed to it by his Defcent , and his
Marriage j and qualified for it by his In-
tereft and Authority without, as well as
by an Uncommon Greatnefs of Soul with-
in* Such a peculiar Conjunction of e-
very thing defirable in the Perfon , to
undertake a Work, hazardous enough ,
one would imagine, to deterr the Greateft
Minds from thinking of it , and fuch
a Difpofition of the various Interefts of
the States and Kingdoms of Europe , as
both required and fupported the Under-
taking, muft appear very furprizing, in
fo critical a moment of Time : When, if
\ve fpeak within the compafs of Hu-
mane Views', nothing but fo unparallel'd
a Combination of Circumftances could have
afforded even the leaft hopes of Succefs.

The

The Event of this was happy beyond
Expreflion : And the Madneft of Popery
and Arbitrary Rule , was ftop'd in the
Vigour and Warmth of all it's Power,
and Hopes. But even yet , fomething
farther was wanting , And that wa?, to
fix the Succejjion to the Crown, in fuch a
Manner, as the Experience of Feeling and
Common Senfe in Judging , of neceffitjr
direfted the Nation to do. This Day
muft have been mark'd with fomething
very different from a Ble/fingj if the Re-
volution had ftop'd where it began 5
and , after a little prefent :Refpite , had
deliver'd the Nation back again, into Po-
pifi Hands. And where indeed (hould
We now fearch for the Bleffing of the
Reftoration •, if We did not fee it, and
feel it, in the 'Blejfing of the Proteftant
Succejjion.

This was the Great View of Heaven,
in it's firft Defign. And, therefore, We
fee with pleafure, that, when it was re-
fold

16 A SERMON frtacbd

folv'd by Providence to make this Da}
memorable by the Reparation of the
Royal Family, and our Legal Conftitution,
it was refolv'd by the fame good Pro-
vidence, that, in the very fame Tear,
upon the very Day before this Great
Work was to be accorapliftVd , a Prince
fhould be born, in Whom that Re/lora-
tion fhould , in due time, centre j and
to Whom alone it (hould be referv'd, ro
compleat the Bkfftng for Us , and to
tranfmit it down feeure, to our Pofterity,
in his own Illujlrious Houfe.

'

.This , I fay , is the whole Scene of
Providence y ..which this Day open'd j and
which , taken in one View , can alone
be faid to make it a EleJJlng to l/>, ot
to our Children after Us. If you view
the Refloration, without,, the Revolution ,
and the Proteftant Succejfion } it leads
you directly to a Popt/b Prince , holding
an Arbitrary Hand over all your Liber-
ties , tearing up the Fences of all your
Laws , fixing all Right in his own Will

and

before the KING. 17

and Power ^ and perfecuting all his Sub-
jefts into" the Exercife of his own, Su-
perftitious, Idolatrous, and Cruel Religi-
on. And this is the whole of the Blef^
fmg, in which you would Tee it end at
laft. A Blefling, which may be a fir Re-
ward for the Slavijh Bigottry of Papifts !
But for Proteflants — fit only for Tkofe
of them, who deferve it* And They de-
ferve it, who chufe it -, whom no Experi-
ence, no Confideration, no Miracles of
Providence, can engage to prefer their
own Happinefs before their own Deftrudi-
on*

But if We view the fame
in another Light, as the Refloration of
our Legal Conftitution, fecured by the late
Revolution, and fix'd by the Settlement of
the Crown in the Proteftant Line ^ it ap-
pears a Blefling to Us indeed, by leading
Us to the Happinefs which We our felves
at prefent fee, and feel, but cannot de-
fcribe.

certain

certain that Tbofe Princes are beft qualifi-
ed to govern well by Written Laws, who
have govern'd well without them , this is
a peculiar part of our Happinefs, to have
the Execution of our Laws , and th'e
Prefervation of our Rights, vefted in a
Prince ^ who never betrayed, even when
his Will was his Law, the lead Inclina-
tion towards any Defigns, but what are die
Dictates of the ftrifteft Juftice. And if it
redoubles a Bleffing, to forefee it flou-

dition to our prefent Happinefs, that We
may promife it to our Children after Us,

perienced Virtues, entitled to the Love
and Affefiion of his Subje&s -, and by
the Laws of their Country, (built upon
the Fundamental Laws of Humane So-
ciety) entitled to their Allegiance : Great
in Htmfelf, if the perfedion of Juf-
tice , and Honour , and Equity , be
true Greatnefs , and Great in his
llluflnous family , if the Profped of
tranfmitting Blefiings to Pofterity, by
a Line of Princes defcending from Hira-
felf , makes up any part of Greatnefs :
And in a peculiar manner, Great in
his Influences upon the prefent State
of this Nation , as He (lands pofTefs'd
pf an Unfhaken fteadinefs of Soul, not
to be moved from his People's In-
tereft ^ and of a Firmnefs of Mind,
yncable of the Impreflions , either of
pear, or of Inconfhncy. Without which
JMoble and Happy Accomplifhments in
the Firft Poffeffor in that llluflnous
flwfe, which the Providence of God
hath now iix'd upon the Throne, it
juftly be feared, that this Happy

Settlement

before the K I N G 21

Settlement might by this Time have
been fliakert , and the Bleffings of the
Proteflant Religion^ and our Legal Li-
berty, (for which We have been fo ma-
ny Years contendingj might once more
have been in danger of vaniming from

our Sight.

And even ftill, the Sufpicion of
fo much Happinefs ceafing in time to
come , " might be very uneafy to Us 9
if We did not fee in his Royal Heir
and Succeffor , a Noble and Generous
Zeal , avowed with all the Tokens of
the mod Sincere and Upright Heart,
for the fame invaluable Goods.

Nor will I ever pmit , when I
ain recounting the Inftances of our
Publick Happinefs , to mention that
Race of Princes to come : From Whom,
what is it that We may not expeft?
When We not only think of the Ex-

Good Senfe, and the perfection of Good
Nature , are United j and out-done by
nothing , unlefs by that Sacred Regard
to True Religion^ which will make her
Story the Delight of Goo_d Men in Ages
to come.

This is the Fabrick of Happinefs
in which our Souls may take their
Reft. How much lefs than this, might
We our felves have been well content-
ed to hope for? And, indeed, What
more than this, could any Nation ua-

tion of offering them Happinefs, in
a Way, and by the Hands, which
They were not pleas'd to like : And
this , before their Paffions had any
thing offer'd to them, to fet them
on Fire. And We have feen an Ad.
ministration reviled , and inf ulted , by
Thofe , who themfelves had tafted
nothing but Good from it.

When one reflects with Coolriefe
upon what hath lately paft amongft
Us, it feems as if the fullnefs of
Happinefs had it felf fet on fire the
reftlefs Malice of Thofe, who were re-
folved not to acknowledge or enjoy
the Bleffing offered them ^ and that
the Rage of Enmity hath been for-
ced to be raifed the higher, and the
louder, by all the Management o£
Artifice, beamfe there fo was little to
complain of.

But this is the Glory of an
