knowledge_n of_o god_n of_o themselves_o of_o christ_n and_o redemption_n by_o he_o they_o desire_v to_o leave_v their_o wild_a and_o scatter_a manner_n of_o life_n and_o come_v under_o civil_a government_n and_o order_n which_o do_v put_v i_o upon_o search_n after_o the_o mind_n of_o the_o lord_n in_o that_o respect_n and_o this_o vow_v i_o do_v solemn_o make_v unto_o the_o lord_n concern_v they_o that_o they_o be_v a_o people_n without_o any_o form_n of_o government_n and_o now_o to_o choose_v i_o will_v endeavour_v with_o all_o my_o might_n to_o bring_v they_o under_o the_o government_n of_o the_o lord_n only_o namely_o that_o i_o will_v instruct_v they_o to_o embrace_v such_o government_n both_o civil_a and_o ecclesiastical_a as_o the_o lord_n have_v command_v in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n and_o to_o deduce_v all_o their_o law_n from_o the_o holy_a scripture_n that_o so_o they_o may_v be_v the_o lord_n people_n rule_v by_o he_o alone_o in_o all_o thing_n which_o according_o they_o have_v begin_v to_o do_v through_o grace_n covenant_v with_o the_o lord_n in_o a_o day_n of_o fast_v and_o prayer_n to_o be_v the_o lord_n people_n and_o to_o receive_v that_o form_n of_o government_n which_o they_o have_v learned_a to_o be_v a_o divine_a institution_n in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n this_o occasion_n do_v first_o put_v i_o upon_o this_o study_n who_o be_o no_o statesman_n nor_o acquaint_v with_o matter_n of_o that_o nature_n but_o only_o spend_v my_o time_n in_o the_o study_n of_o the_o holy_a book_n of_o god_n but_o have_v collect_v by_o the_o lord_n help_v out_o of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n this_o follow_a form_n of_o government_n and_o see_v the_o excellent_a harmony_n and_o order_n thereof_o both_o in_o the_o several_a court_n gradual_o ascend_v one_o above_o another_o and_o all_o case_n among_o the_o people_n come_v under_o such_o a_o certain_a and_o orderly_a way_n of_o receive_v speedy_a issue_n and_o all_o appeal_v have_v such_o a_o free_a and_o unprejudiced_a passage_n in_o their_o gradual_a ascent_n even_o to_o the_o high_a and_o final_a determination_n these_o and_o such_o other_o thing_n make_v i_o think_v that_o it_o be_v a_o most_o desirable_a and_o peaceable_a form_n of_o government_n and_o suitable_a to_o any_o christian_a people_n who_o reverence_n the_o word_n of_o god_n yea_o the_o more_o eminent_a and_o christian_n they_o be_v the_o more_o suitable_a it_o be_v for_o they_o especial_o also_o consider_v that_o though_o the_o single_a form_n of_o ten_o fifty_n hundred_o and_o thousand_o will_v be_v but_o of_o small_a capacity_n in_o great_a commonwealth_n and_o populous_a city_n yet_o the_o superior_a order_n of_o myriad_o or_o ten_o thousand_o fifty_o thousand_o hundred_o thousand_o and_o thousand_o thousand_o be_v exceed_o comprehensive_a to_o extend_v government_n to_o the_o great_a people_n and_o yet_o with_o that_o certain_a and_o peaceable_a order_n without_o any_o interfering_n or_o confusion_n for_o speedy_a justice_n and_o determination_n of_o all_o cause_n as_o that_o it_o seem_v to_o i_o to_o be_v the_o most_o excellent_a government_n that_o ever_o be_v in_o the_o world_n and_o add_v to_o this_o above_o all_o consideration_n and_o commendation_n that_o it_o be_v a_o divine_a institution_n spring_v from_o heavenly_a wisdom_n command_v in_o scripture_n fill_v with_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n which_o be_v able_a to_o carry_v on_o the_o wheel_n of_o this_o government_n with_o a_o most_o irresistible_a and_o successful_a force_n and_o power_n to_o the_o attainment_n of_o all_o the_o end_n of_o government_n among_o man_n most_o effectual_o yea_o it_o seem_v to_o i_o that_o this_o be_v that_o form_n of_o government_n by_o which_o christ_n mean_v to_o rule_v all_o the_o nation_n on_o earth_n according_a to_o the_o scripture_n yea_o far_o repenting-believing_a israel_n and_o judah_n i_o believe_v shall_v serve_v and_o obey_v christ_n in_o this_o way_n of_o civil_a government_n and_o who_o know_v but_o our_o obedience_n hereunto_o may_v hasten_v and_o far_o their_o come_n in_o i_o will_v not_o exceed_v bound_n of_o humble_a modesty_n yet_o let_v i_o make_v bold_a to_o adventure_v the_o produce_v a_o far_a meditation_n touch_v the_o divinity_n and_o heavenly_a excellency_n of_o this_o government_n of_o the_o lord_n namely_o that_o the_o angel_n of_o heaven_n be_v govern_v by_o this_o order_n of_o government_n according_a as_o it_o be_v applyable_a to_o their_o condition_n it_o be_v past_o all_o doubt_n that_o there_o be_v a_o heavenly_a order_n i_o do_v not_o say_v judicature_n as_o with_o we_o among_o the_o angel_n for_o as_o hell_n be_v a_o place_n of_o confusion_n so_o heaven_n of_o order_n and_o if_o god_n be_v the_o god_n of_o order_n in_o the_o church_n whereby_o the_o place_n of_o his_o foot_n be_v beautify_v much_o more_o be_v heaven_n beautify_v by_o a_o most_o heavenly_a order_n of_o the_o church_n there_o reside_v and_o if_o solomon_n court_n be_v in_o that_o respect_n of_o a_o ravish_a glory_n namely_o by_o the_o order_n of_o it_o and_o of_o his_o attendant_n much_o more_o be_v heaven_n in_o a_o excellent_a order_n and_o all_o the_o angel_n the_o holy_a attendant_n of_o god_n throne_n attend_v in_o comely_a order_n and_o if_o the_o order_n of_o solomon_n court_n be_v one_o effect_n of_o his_o great_a wisdom_n can_v we_o think_v that_o the_o infinite_a wisdom_n of_o god_n attend_v by_o angel_n spirit_n of_o such_o wonderful_a wisdom_n shall_v not_o be_v attend_v in_o a_o most_o glorious_a order_n and_o his_o attendantss_n excellent_o beautify_v by_o walk_v in_o a_o heavenly_a order_n therefore_o there_o be_v a_o heavenly_a order_n among_o they_o and_o that_o it_o be_v this_o order_n of_o ten_o hundred_o thousand_o etc._n etc._n do_v appear_v in_o several_a scripture_n where_o we_o find_v mention_v make_v of_o they_o in_o this_o order_n wherein_o it_o be_v observable_a that_o so_o great_a be_v the_o number_n of_o they_o that_o they_o be_v not_o mention_v in_o their_o single_a order_n but_o the_o low_a that_o i_o have_v observe_v be_v myriad_o of_o angel_n heb._n 12._o 22._o and_o so_o the_o saint_n shall_v find_v they_o order_v when_o they_o come_v to_o heaven_n myriad_o heaven_n mat._n 26._o 53._o christ_n make_v mention_n of_o twelve_o legion_n of_o angel_n for_o his_o present_a assistance_n if_o he_o think_v good_a which_o be_v all_o one_o with_o myriad_o they_o be_v also_o mention_v by_o the_o high_a degree_n of_o the_o superior_a order_n viz._n thousand_o of_o

but_o whether_o that_o be_v the_o high_a order_n of_o angel_n be_v not_o reveal_v that_o i_o know_v of_o but_o thus_o it_o seem_v unto_o i_o that_o the_o angel_n be_v in_o this_o order_n of_o government_n likewise_o the_o saint_n in_o heaven_n seem_v to_o be_v in_o the_o same_o order_n for_o when_o christ_n come_v to_o judgement_n and_o all_o the_o saint_n with_o he_o 1_o thes_n 4._o 13._o

what_o a_o heaven_n upon_o earth_n shall_v that_o be_v when_o all_o the_o kingdom_n and_o nation_n on_o the_o earth_n shall_v be_v so_o rule_v and_o than_o shall_v the_o will_n of_o god_n be_v do_v on_o earth_n as_o it_o be_v do_v in_o heaven_n when_o he_o reign_v over_o man_n on_o earth_n in_o the_o same_o order_n of_o government_n as_o he_o do_v in_o heaven_n order_n heaven_n it_o be_v not_o
