and_o by_o pray_v for_o all_o man_n which_o be_v the_o exercise_n and_o demonstration_n of_o such_o goodwill_n last_o by_o pray_v for_o all_o man_n we_o follow_v the_o example_n of_o our_o bless_a

it_o he_o endure_v all_o the_o shame_n and_o ignominy_n the_o pain_n and_o sorrow_n of_o the_o cross_n even_o for_o those_o who_o lead_v and_o fasten_v he_o to_o it_o and_o while_o he_o be_v under_o the_o quick_a sense_n of_o the_o disgrace_n and_o torment_n of_o his_o accurse_a crucifixion_n his_o love_n for_o his_o enemy_n be_v so_o far_o from_o suffer_v any_o abatement_n or_o diminution_n that_o it_o break_v out_o into_o the_o bright_a flame_n of_o infinite_a tenderness_n and_o compassion_n and_o rise_v as_o high_a as_o heaven_n in_o a_o most_o ardent_a prayer_n for_o pardon_n and_o

nature_n as_o well_o as_o the_o honourable_a name_n of_o the_o bless_a jesus_n no_o injury_n or_o persecution_n no_o torment_n or_o death_n can_v overcome_v their_o charity_n but_o this_o be_v still_o

our_o bless_a saviour_n and_o his_o first_o disciple_n must_v live_v in_o and_o actuate_v we_o for_o we_o can_v upon_o any_o other_o term_n be_v either_o conformable_a to_o his_o example_n or_o obedient_a to_o his_o law_n and_o without_o such_o conformity_n and_o such_o obedience_n we_o may_v be_v any_o thing_n but_o christian_n for_o if_o we_o have_v not_o the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n we_o

this_o be_v sufficient_a to_o show_v that_o we_o ought_v to_o pray_v for_o all_o man_n 2._o we_o may_v observe_v that_o we_o ought_v especial_o to_o pray_v for_o king_n and_o all_o that_o be_v in_o

to_o pray_v for_o king_n above_o all_o man_n whatsoever_o and_o these_o reason_n be_v such_o as_o either_o concern_v king_n themselves_o or_o such_o as_o concern_v we_o first_o such_o as_o concern_v king_n themselves_o for_o if_o king_n have_v more_o need_n of_o our_o prayer_n than_o other_o man_n than_o it_o be_v plain_a that_o upon_o their_o account_n we_o ought_v especial_o to_o pray_v for_o they_o and_o it_o will_v appear_v that_o they_o have_v the_o great_a need_n of_o the_o prayer_n and_o intercession_n of_o other_o if_o we_o consider_v these_o follow_a particular_n first_o consider_v that_o the_o duty_n and_o office_n of_o a_o king_n be_v a_o arduous_a and_o difficult_a employment_n there_o be_v in_o most_o man_n a_o inordinat_a appetite_n after_o empire_n and_o dominion_n and_o they_o greedy_o desire_v to_o bear_v a_o part_n in_o the_o government_n of_o the_o world_n but_o few_o man_n consider_v the_o difficulty_n of_o such_o a_o province_n the_o weight_n and_o encumbrance_n of_o such_o a_o burden_n for_o if_o they_o do_v but_o serious_o consider_v what_o be_v the_o proper_a and_o natural_a end_n of_o government_n what_o ability_n and_o excellency_n be_v necessary_a to_o qualify_v a_o man_n for_o the_o due_a administration_n of_o it_o what_o infinite_a pain_n and_o care_n must_v be_v undergon_v in_o the_o faithful_a discharge_n and_o execution_n of_o it_o such_o thought_n such_o reflection_n will_v mortify_v the_o most_o aspire_a ambition_n allay_n and_o extinguish_v the_o most_o violent_a thirst_v after_o empire_n and_o make_v man_n not_o only_o content_v but_o joyful_a in_o the_o state_n and_o condition_n of_o subject_n for_o it_o be_v a_o easy_a thing_n to_o obey_v there_o be_v require_v no_o great_a skill_n to_o understand_v nor_o much_o industry_n to_o perform_v the_o duty_n of_o subjection_n it_o be_v the_o business_n of_o governor_n to_o contrive_v the_o rule_n and_o prescribe_v the_o measure_n of_o obedience_n which_o general_o lie_v in_o

need_v not_o torture_v their_o brain_n nor_o strain_v their_o understanding_n to_o find_v out_o and_o discover_v their_o duty_n their_o work_n be_v cut_v out_o to_o their_o hand_n and_o lay_v before_o their_o eye_n and_o a_o tractable_a nature_n and_o a_o humble_a spirit_n and_o a_o peaceable_a mind_n will_v enable_v they_o to_o practice_v it_o with_o great_a ease_n and_o cheerfulness_n but_o it_o be_v far_o otherwise_o with_o king_n and_o prince_n who_o have_v a_o large_a sphere_n to_o move_v in_o and_o a_o infinite_a variety_n of_o particular_n to_o attend_v unto_o which_o require_v a_o excellent_a understanding_n a_o solid_a judgement_n a_o prudent_a foresight_n a_o constant_a presence_n of_o mind_n a_o active_a temper_n a_o unwearyed_a industry_n a_o patient_a spirit_n a_o

qualification_n which_o be_v necessary_a to_o complete_a and_o furnish_v out_o a_o man_n of_o political_a prudence_n my_o business_n be_v only_o to_o convince_v you_o that_o it_o be_v a_o hard_a thing_n to_o govern_v wise_o and_o that_o so_o many_o gift_n and_o grace_n be_v necessary_a to_o make_v up_o and_o constitute_v a_o prudent_a governor_n as_o few_o man_n enjoy_v and_o god_n only_o can_v dispense_v and_o therefore_o we_o be_v under_o the_o strong_a obligation_n of_o charity_n to_o pray_v for_o king_n and_o to_o beseech_v god_n that_o he_o will_v furnish_v they_o with_o ability_n proportionable_a to_o the_o difficulty_n of_o their_o employment_n that_o he_o will_v direct_v they_o by_o his_o wisdom_n and_o assist_v they_o by_o his_o power_n that_o in_o all_o case_n of_o
