the_o part_n for_o the_o whole_a so_o that_o what_o the_o lord_n command_v they_o here_o must_v to_o their_o possible_a power_n reach_n and_o stretch_v to_o the_o whole_a kingdom_n three_o the_o second_o precept_n or_o commandment_n be_v this_o pray_v unto_o the_o lord_n for_o it_o or_o orate_fw-la prò_fw-la ea_fw-la jehovam_fw-la entreat_v the_o lord_n for_o it_o the_o lord_n say_v not_o here_o pray_v for_o their_o welfare_n only_o pray_v for_o their_o peace_n only_o or_o for_o their_o prosperous_a estate_n but_o indefinite_o pray_v to_o the_o lord_n for_o it_o for_o the_o city_n for_o the_o country_n these_o two_o commandment_n thus_o differ_v the_o first_o concern_v their_o manner_n and_o behaviour_n in_o captivity_n the_o other_o their_o religion_n therefore_o as_o they_o differ_v in_o work_n the_o one_o immediate_o respect_v man_n the_o other_o immediate_o respect_v god_n so_o in_o the_o verb_n command_v they_o differ_v also_o as_o seek_v &_o pray_v for_o pray_v unto_o god_n no_o doubt_n may_v be_v seek_v but_o all_o seek_v be_v not_o pray_v and_o therefore_o as_o in_o command_v in_o matter_n in_o manner_n in_o effect_n and_o end_n they_o differ_v so_o by_o no_o mean_n they_o must_v be_v confound_v for_o in_o the_o first_o commandment_n it_o be_v say_v seek_v prosperity_n but_o in_o the_o second_o it_o be_v not_o say_v pray_v for_o prosperity_n welfare_n or_o so_o forth_o but_o pray_v for_o it_o and_o therefore_o sure_o this_o seem_v not_o a_o prayer_n for_o outward_a thing_n or_o for_o temporal_a blessing_n
