A91279	The signal loyalty and devotion of God's true saints and pious Christians, especially in this our island towards their kings: (as also of some idolatrous pagans) Both before, and under the law and gospel; expressed by their private and publick prayers, supplications, intercessions, thanksgivings, well-wishes for the health, safety, long life, prosperity, temporal, spiritual, eternal felicity of the kings and emperours under whom they lived, whether pagan or Christian, bad or good, heterodox or orthodox, Papists or Protestants, persecutors or protectors of them: and likewise for their royal issue, posterity realms; and by their dutiful conscientious obedience and subjection to them; with the true reasons thereof from scripture and policy. Evidenced by presidents and testimonies in all ages, worthy the knowledg, imitation, and serious consideration of our present degenerated disloyal, antimonarchical generation. In two parts. By William Prynne Esq; late bencher, and reader of Lincolns-In; Signal loyalty and devotion of Gods true saints and pious Christians, towards their kings. Parts 1 and 2.

i_o observe_v the_o great_a discord_n and_o vehement_a dissension_n of_o many_o both_o between_o themselves_o and_o also_o against_o the_o divine_a scripture_n and_o that_o which_o be_v most_o

when_o i_o search_v this_o with_o myself_o and_o stand_v amaze_v at_o this_o monstrous_a impiety_n &_o do_v yet_o further_o search_v it_o out_o i_o be_v far_o persuade_v that_o the_o foresay_a cause_n
