consider_v the_o word_n as_o a_o ancient_a proverb_n ground_v on_o great_a reason_n constant_a observation_n and_o long_a experience_n which_o assure_v king_n solomon_n of_o these_o two_o thing_n

begin_n of_o the_o word_n righteousness_n exalt_v a_o nation_n that_o be_v the_o way_n to_o make_v it_o great_a and_o glorious_a the_o second_o in_o the_o latter_a part_n of_o the_o verse_n sin_n be_v

these_o be_v evident_o prove_v will_v necessary_a infer_v the_o second_o and_o therefore_o after_o a_o brief_a explication_n of_o what_o be_v mean_v here_o by_o righteousness_n i_o shall_v endeavour_v in_o the_o rest_n of_o my_o discourse_n to_o make_v good_a the_o truth_n of_o what_o solomon_n assert_v concern_v it_o by_o show_v how_o a_o nation_n be_v raise_v and_o advance_v by_o righteousness_n it_o be_v certain_a that_o righteousness_n have_v a_o threefold_a signification_n in_o scripture_n yea_o in_o this_o very_a book_n of_o the_o proverb_n 1._o where_o first_o it_o signify_v that_o particular_a virtue_n which_o we_o call_v justice_n and_o honest_a deal_n which_o consist_v in_o give_v to_o every_o one_o that_o which_o proper_o belong_v to_o he_o thus_o the_o wise_a man_n use_v the_o word_n in_o prov._n xvi_o 8._o better_a be_v a_o little_a with_o righteousness_n than_o great_a revenue_n without_o right_n i_o e._n a_o small_a estate_n honest_o get_v be_v to_o be_v prefer_v before_o a_o great_a one_o get_v by_o fraud_n and_o do_v wrong_a to_o other_o 2._o sometime_o the_o signification_n be_v enlarge_v to_o include_v in_o it_o another_o virtue_n also_o viz._n mercy_n and_o charity_n in_o which_o sense_n the_o wise_a man_n seem_v to_o use_v it_o to_o omit_v other_o place_n prov._n xi_o 4._o riches_n profit_v not_o in_o the_o day_n of_o wrath_n i._n e._n in_o a_o calamitous_a time_n but_o righteousness_n i._n e._n do_v good_a with_o our_o riches_n deliver_v from_o death_n may_v preserve_v we_o in_o he_o great_a danger_n 3._o but_o there_o be_v another_o acceptation_n of_o these_o word_n which_o be_v more_o comprehensive_a wherein_o it_o signify_v not_o only_o these_o but_o all_o other_o virtue_n whatsoever_o universal_a obedience_n to_o the_o law_n of_o god_n and_o thus_o it_o be_v common_o take_v in_o this_o book_n particular_o here_o in_o my_o text_n as_o appear_v from_o that_o which_o be_v oppose_v to_o it_o in_o the_o latter_a part_n of_o the_o word_n viz._n sin_n which_o most_o certain_o signify_v all_o sort_n of_o wickedness_n and_o therefore_o by_o righteousness_n we_o ought_v to_o understand_v all_o manner_n of_o virtue_n piety_n and_o holiness_n as_o well_o as_o justice_n and_o mercy_n in_o one_o word_n true_a religion_n which_o i_o may_v safe_o use_v instead_o of_o the_o word_n righteousness_n as_o comprehend_v under_o it_o whatsoever_o be_v good_a and_o virtuous_a which_o spring_v from_o true_a religion_n and_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n now_o these_o thing_n be_v premise_v i_o shall_v address_v myself_o to_o the_o proof_n of_o this_o proposition_n that_o true_a religion_n and_o piety_n which_o be_v the_o mother_n of_o justice_n mercy_n moderation_n and_o all_o other_o virtue_n exalt_v a_o nation_n that_o be_v make_v

true_a religion_n in_o itself_o promote_v and_o advance_v the_o glory_n of_o a_o nation_n be_v in_o its_o own_o nature_n a_o true_o great_a noble_a and_o honourable_a thing_n which_o every_o man_n praise_n and_o commend_v in_o other_o though_o perhaps_o he_o do_v not_o love_n to_o practice_v it_o himself_o for_o who_o be_v there_o for_o instance_n that_o do_v not_o rather_o love_v and_o honour_v a_o people_n that_o be_v just_a holy_a and_o devout_a than_o a_o nation_n that_o be_v mere_o rich_a powerful_a and_o mighty_a it_o be_v possible_a a_o nation_n may_v be_v so_o for_o a_o time_n though_o it_o do_v not_o stand_v upon_o the_o foundation_n of_o truth_n justice_n and_o piety_n but_o it_o be_v impossible_a it_o shall_v last_v so_o long_o and_o while_o it_o do_v continue_v so_o what_o be_v its_o power_n without_o piety_n but_o a_o ability_n to_o do_v mischief_n and_o to_o destroy_v which_o be_v hateful_a to_o all_o the_o world_n the_o great_a monarch_n have_v sometime_o

though_o they_o be_v cry_v up_o because_o dread_v while_o alive_a yet_o they_o be_v always_o scorn_v because_o hate_v when_o they_o be_v dead_a whereas_o on_o the_o contrary_a religious_a prince_n
