matter_n to_o judge_v how_o foolish_o they_o be_v deceive_v but_o we_o will_v return_v unto_o the_o psalm_n the_o cause_n why_o he_o make_v mention_n of_o david_n we_o have_v declare_v to_o be_v the_o promise_v make_v unto_o david_n for_o the_o which_o he_o desire_v of_o god_n that_o he_o will_v not_o turn_v away_o the_o face_n of_o his_o anoint_a that_o be_v to_o say_v of_o the_o king_n which_o be_v anoint_a by_o the_o word_n &_o commandment_n of_o god._n be_v now_o the_o face_n of_o the_o anoint_a he_o call_v the_o presence_n of_o the_o king_n or_o the_o kingdom_n give_v and_o ordain_v of_o god_n as_o if_o he_o say_v preserve_v oh_o lord_n thy_o people_n maintain_v the_o justice_n the_o judgement_n the_o equity_n the_o whole_a politic_a government_n of_o this_o kingdom_n that_o all_o thing_n may_v be_v do_v in_o due_a order_n so_o that_o public_a peace_n be_v not_o trouble_v by_o sedition_n and_o civil_a discord_n that_o discipline_n be_v not_o deface_v and_o deform_v by_o adultery_n and_o other_o offence_n for_o these_o thing_n and_o such_o like_a do_v pertain_v to_o this_o kingdom_n for_o to_o enjoy_v a_o kingdom_n be_v not_o to_o enjoy_v a_o crown_n or_o a_o

thing_n he_o pray_v for_o when_o he_o desire_v that_o the_o face_n of_o the_o anoint_a may_v not_o be_v take_v away_o now_o the_o cause_n why_o he_o desire_v these_o thing_n be_v for_o that_o this_o people_n have_v the_o word_n &_o the_o church_n of_o god_n among_o they_o which_o can_v not_o prosper_v and_o flourish_v where_o all_o be_v full_a of_o murder_n adultery_n war_n and_o contempt_n of_o

those_o over_o who_o we_o have_v charge_n why_o then_o do_v the_o wicked_a accuse_v we_o as_o troubler_n of_o the_o public_a peace_n â–ª_o i_o be_o very_o persuade_v that_o if_o peace_n and_o quietness_n be_v maintain_v by_o any_o mean_n it_o be_v special_o by_o the_o prayer_n of_o our_o church_n for_o how_o shall_v the_o adversary_n pray_v what_o shall_v god_n give_v unto_o his_o enemy_n &_o the_o persecutor_n of_o his_o word_n which_o be_v in_o deed_n utter_o ignorant_a what_o true_a prayer_n be_v or_o how_o they_o ought_v to_o pray_v verse_n 11._o the_o lord_n have_v swear_v in_o

second_o part_n of_o the_o psalm_n policy_n in_o the_o which_o he_o pray_v for_o the_o politic_a or_o corporal_a kingdom_n for_o these_o two_o kingdom_n namely_o the_o politic_a and_o the_o spiritual_a kingdom_n although_o they_o be_v far_o unlike_a yet_o be_v they_o so_o join_v together_o that_o the_o one_o can_v not_o stand_v without_o the_o other_o for_o where_o politic_a peace_n be_v lack_v there_o can_v no_o piety_n or_o godliness_n be_v maintain_v without_o great_a danger_n again_o where_o the_o word_n of_o god_n be_v not_o there_o can_v be_v no_o end_n of_o error_n blasphemy_n and_o other_o impiety_n prayer_n therefore_o for_o politic_a peace_n and_o the_o common_a wealth_n be_v necessary_a now_o when_o the_o word_n be_v join_v withal_o the_o great_a cause_n we_o have_v to_o give_v thanks_n unto_o god_n and_o this_o prayer_n as_o i_o have_v say_v be_v also_o ground_v upon_o the_o promise_v of_o god_n for_o in_o prayer_n we_o must_v ask_v nothing_o but_o that_o we_o be_v certain_o persuade_v we_o may_v or_o aught_o to_o pray_v for_o or_o may_v be_v obtain_v now_o that_o we_o may_v be_v certain_a how_o to_o pray_v &_o what_o to_o ask_v there_o be_v not_o only_o a_o commandment_n as_o touch_v prayer_n set_v forth_o unto_o we_o but_o also_o a_o certain_a form_n of_o prayer_n and_o the_o very_a word_n whereby_o we_o be_v teach_v how_o to_o pray_v and_o what_o we_o shall_v pray_v for_o and_o moreover_o certain_a cause_n express_v for_o the_o which_o we_o may_v be_v assure_v that_o our_o prayer_n please_v god_n as_o when_o we_o pray_v for_o the_o sanctify_a of_o the_o name_n of_o god_n the_o come_n of_o his_o kingdom_n etc_n etc_n and_o here_o be_v also_o to_o be_v note_v that_o this_o promise_n be_v confirm_v with_o a_o oath_n that_o it_o may_v be_v the_o more_o sure_a and_o certain_a this_o promise_n as_o touch_v the_o temporal_a kingdom_n church_n as_o it_o be_v great_a so_o be_v it_o a_o occasion_n to_o many_o holy_a prophet_n of_o great_a

secure_a and_o profane_a spirit_n beware_v proud_a &_o presumptuous_a and_o through_o the_o confidence_n they_o have_v in_o these_o promise_n they_o afterward_o persecute_v the_o godly_a as_o we_o may_v see_v by_o manifest_a example_n in_o the_o prophet_n who_o because_o they_o reprove_v the_o idolatry_n of_o the_o king_n and_o condemn_v their_o false_a and_o damnable_a worship_n threaten_v the_o destruction_n of_o the_o kingdom_n and_o of_o the_o people_n unless_o they_o will_v forsake_v their_o abomination_n &_o turn_v unto_o the_o lord_n be_v torment_v and_o put_v to_o death_n as_o

against_o the_o prophet_n if_o god_n say_v they_o have_v promise_v that_o the_o son_n of_o david_n shall_v sit_v upon_o the_o throne_n of_o david_n for_o ever_o it_o be_v impossible_a that_o the_o
