great_a motive_n in_o the_o world_n to_o be_v faithful_a in_o the_o performance_n of_o their_o duty_n and_o that_o because_o god_n be_v with_o they_o in_o the_o judgement_n i_o begin_v with_o the_o

of_o this_o chapter_n where_o the_o king_n declare_v behold_v amariah_n the_o chief_a priest_n be_v over_o you_o in_o all_o matter_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o zebediah_n the_o son_n of_o ishmael_n the_o

lord_n as_o to_o exclude_v he_o from_o his_o interest_n in_o those_o that_o be_v civil_a but_o have_v good_a reason_n to_o conclude_v that_o the_o king_n speak_v to_o both_o sort_n of_o judge_n when_o
