they_o yet_o however_o the_o least_o we_o can_v imagine_v here_o promise_v to_o the_o priest_n of_o zion_n will_v comprehend_v these_o three_o thing_n 1._o a_o free_a and_o safe_a condition_n of_o life_n that_o they_o be_v not_o expose_v to_o continual_a danger_n of_o ruin_n of_o miserable_a sufferance_n or_o remediless_a injury_n that_o the_o benefit_n of_o peace_n and_o law_n and_o public_a protection_n shall_v particular_o appertain_v to_o they_o so_o that_o their_o adversary_n if_o any_o they_o happen_v to_o have_v shall_v not_o be_v incite_v by_o hope_n of_o reward_n or_o impunity_n to_o hurt_v their_o person_n rifle_v their_o good_n disturb_v their_o quiet_n but_o that_o they_o shall_v enjoy_v good_a degree_n of_o security_n liberty_n and_o tranquillity_n in_o this_o world_n 2._o a_o provision_n of_o competent_a subsistence_n for_o they_o that_o their_o condition_n of_o life_n be_v not_o whole_o necessitous_a or_o very_o penurious_a destitute_a of_o convenient_a accommodation_n or_o depend_v altogether_o for_o they_o upon_o the_o arbitrary_a benevolence_n of_o man_n which_o be_v at_o best_a but_o a_o more_o plausible_a kind_n of_o beggary_n but_o that_o they_o shall_v be_v furnish_v with_o such_o reasonable_a supply_n as_o be_v requisite_a to_o encourae_fw-la they_o in_o the_o cheerful_a performance_n of_o their_o duty_n 3._o a_o suitable_a degree_n of_o respect_n and_o so_o high_a a_o station_n among_o man_n as_o may_v commend_v they_o to_o general_a esteem_n and_o vindicate_v they_o from_o contempt_n that_o they_o be_v not_o repute_v among_o the_o dregs_o and_o refuse_v of_o the_o people_n that_o their_o person_n be_v not_o base_a and_o despicable_a their_o name_n make_v the_o object_n of_o vulgar_a obloquy_n their_o function_n become_v prostitute_v to_o profane_a irrision_n but_o that_o some_o considerable_a authority_n some_o more_o than_o ordinary_a regard_n and_o veneration_n accrue_v unto_o they_o from_o the_o high_a relation_n which_o they_o bear_v and_o from_o the_o sacred_a business_n which_o they_o manage_v all_o this_o at_o least_o according_a to_o the_o most_o moderate_a interpretation_n of_o the_o phrase_n that_o abundant_a salvation_n do_v imply_v wherewith_o god_n have_v promise_v to_o invest_v the_o priest_n of_o zion_n we_o may_v therefore_o presume_v or_o rather_o not_o presume_v but_o confident_o rely_v upon_o and_o comfort_v ourselves_o in_o the_o expectation_n of_o god_n faithful_a continuance_n to_o fulfil_v this_o promise_n we_o may_v assure_v ourselves_o that_o neither_o the_o secret_a envy_n of_o they_o who_o repine_v at_o those_o encouragement_n which_o god_n providence_n have_v confer_v on_o his_o priest_n nor_o the_o open_a malice_n of_o those_o that_o furious_o oppugn_v their_o welfare_n shall_v ever_o prevail_v to_o overwhelm_v they_o with_o extreme_a misery_n penury_n or_o disgrace_n since_o no_o endeavour_n of_o earth_n or_o hell_n can_v ever_o be_v able_a to_o reverse_v this_o everlasting_a decree_n of_o heaven_n or_o to_o defeat_v that_o irresistible_a power_n which_o be_v engage_v to_o its_o execution_n no_o inferior_a force_n can_v strip_v they_o naked_a of_o that_o salvation_n wherewith_o the_o supreme_a truth_n have_v promise_v to_o clothe_v they_o which_o confidence_n of_o we_o may_v be_v improve_v by_o consider_v the_o reason_n that_o may_v induce_v almighty_a god_n to_o resolve_v and_o promise_v thus_o favourable_o in_o behalf_n of_o his_o priest_n for_o though_o we_o can_v penetrate_v the_o incomprehensible_a depth_n

dissent_v from_o he_o but_o it_o be_v as_o the_o fair_a and_o just_a so_o the_o sure_a and_o likely_a way_n of_o reduce_v thing_n to_o a_o firm_a composure_n without_o more_o ado_n let_v the_o world_n alone_o to_o move_v on_o its_o own_o hinge_n and_o not_o impertinent_o trouble_v ourselves_o or_o other_o with_o the_o conduct_n of_o it_o simple_o to_o request_n of_o almighty_a god_n the_o

against_o the_o public_a welfare_n 12._o see_v then_o we_o have_v so_o many_o good_a argument_n and_o motive_n induce_v to_o pray_v for_o king_n it_o be_v no_o wonder_n that_o to_o back_v they_o we_o may_v also_o allege_v the_o practice_n of_o the_o church_n continual_o in_o all_o time_n perform_v this_o duty_n in_o its_o most_o sacred_a office_n especial_o in_o the_o celebration_n 57_o of_o the_o
