he_o mean_v apostatise_v from_o god_n to_o idol_n otherwise_o we_o know_v david_n be_v gross_o culpable_a in_o the_o matter_n of_o bathsheba_n and_o uriah_n but_o no_o such_o sin_n be_v fasten_v upon_o josiah_n his_o act_n indeed_o of_o go_v to_o war_n with_o pharaoh_n necho_n be_v questionable_a but_o at_o worst_a we_o must_v call_v it_o a_o sin_n of_o ignorance_n since_o no_o doubt_n he_o that_o believe_v and_o tremble_v at_o the_o book_n of_o the_o law_n will_v not_o have_v gainsay_v pharaoh_n nechos_n dissuasion_n have_v he_o be_v sure_a that_o what_o he_o speak_v be_v from_o the_o

one_o be_v charles_n the_o first_o unspotted_a either_o with_o incontinence_n or_o intemperance_n so_o that_o even_o his_o most_o malicious_a enemy_n can_v not_o lay_v either_o to_o his_o charge_n indeed_o he_o be_v a_o exemplary_a pattern_n of_o the_o contrary_a virtue_n 2._o it_o be_v say_v of_o josiah_n 2._o he_o do_v that_o which_o be_v right_a in_o the_o sight_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o decline_v neither_o to_o the_o right_a hand_n nor_o to_o the_o left_a this_o be_v verify_v in_o charles_n the_o first_o who_o decline_v in_o matter_n of_o practice_n both_o hypocritical_a

which_o cause_n he_o commend_v the_o church_n of_o england_n religion_n to_o his_o son_n charles_n the_o second_o 27._o as_o keep_v to_o use_v his_o own_o language_n better_o than_o which_o i_o can_v the_o middle_a way_n between_o the_o papist_n superstitious_a tyranny_n and_o the_o meanness_n of_o fantastic_a anarchy_n 3._o josiah_n be_v very_o solicitous_a to_o raise_v money_n and_o provide_v workman_n for_o repair_v the_o house_n of_o the_o lord_n which_o have_v be_v long_o neglect_v and_o much_o decay_v great_a be_v the_o zeal_n of_o our_o charles_n in_o this_o respect_n witness_v that_o mother-church_n of_o st._n paul_n in_o our_o metropolis_n to_o which_o himself_o contribute_v very_o large_o he_o excite_v many_o other_o and_o in_o the_o repair_n of_o which_o he_o have_v make_v a_o fair_a progress_n and_o though_o the_o iniquity_n of_o the_o late_a time_n perhaps_o as_o well_o out_o of_o spleen_n against_o he_o as_o irreverence_v to_o god_n have_v debase_v deface_v and_o almost_o ruin_v it_o by_o make_v it_o at_o once_o a_o den_n of_o thief_n and_o a_o stable_n for_o beast_n yet_o i_o hope_v the_o piety_n of_o this_o present_a age_n be_v so_o high_o encourage_v by_o our_o sovereign_n that_o now_o be_v will_v make_v haste_n to_o fulfil_v that_o religious_a design_n in_o re-edify_n beautify_v and_o restore_v it_o to_o its_o pristine_a splendour_n 4._o josiah_n have_v a_o great_a regard_n to_o the_o priest_n and_o prophet_n of_o the_o lord_n it_o be_v say_v of_o he_o that_o he_o set_v the_o priest_n in_o their_o charge_n 2._o and_o encourage_v they_o in_o

upon_o all_o occasion_n he_o show_v himself_o a_o fast_a friend_n to_o the_o clergy_n he_o count_v they_o worthy_a of_o the_o double_a honour_n both_o of_o reverence_n and_o maintenance_n and_o therefore_o will_v not_o suffer_v either_o contempt_n of_o their_o office_n or_o alienation_n of_o their_o revenue_n hear_v his_o own_o word_n which_o we_o all_o know_v be_v second_v with_o his_o
