at_o the_o fall_n of_o one_o of_o the_o best_a of_o king_n and_o at_o the_o promotion_n of_o the_o worst_a of_o man_n and_o murderer_n into_o his_o place_n it_o can_v be_v safe_a laugh_n when_o a_o

may_v never_o be_v repeat_v and_o that_o he_o may_v never_o hear_v of_o the_o like_a again_o so_o that_o day_n of_o humiliation_n as_o they_o have_v sometime_o be_v serviceable_a to_o hypocrisy_n may_v serve_v for_o politic_a end_n and_o purpose_n as_o well_o as_o religious_a to_o secure_a prince_n from_o all_o attempt_n of_o cruel_a and_o bloody_a man_n by_o create_v a_o aversion_n to_o such_o barbarous_a practice_n upon_o they_o in_o the_o mind_n of_o all_o men._n it_o be_v very_o natural_a for_o sorrow_n and_o shame_n to_o fill_v the_o mind_n with_o horror_n and_o dislike_n of_o

all_o the_o effort_n and_o endeavour_n which_o be_v make_v towards_o they_o the_o jew_n have_v therefore_o very_o good_a reason_n to_o make_v a_o ordinance_n for_o a_o yearly_a mourn_v for_o josiah_n as_o all_o other_o state_n and_o government_n have_v upon_o the_o like_a occasion_n because_o sorrow_n and_o affliction_n for_o the_o untimely_a death_n of_o one_o king_n dispose_v the_o mind_n to_o
