forget_v your_o place_n god_n have_v make_v you_o subject_n and_o not_o governor_n to_o be_v govern_v and_o not_o to_o rule_v enter_v not_o therefore_o neither_o intermeddle_v you_o with_o prince_n matter_n but_o enter_v into_o yourselves_o &_o look_v you_o to_o your_o sin_n &_o wickedness_n do_v not_o cause_v a_o error_n to_o be_v in_o the_o government_n for_o if_o there_o be_v any_o at_o any_o time_n it_o proceed_v from_o you_o your_o sin_n be_v the_o cause_n as_o it_o appear_v plain_o in_o this_o example_n the_o sin_n of_o israel_n provoke_v the_o lord_n to_o wrath_n and_o then_o david_n heart_n be_v move_v to_o number_v the_o people_n from_o whence_o proceed_v ill_a humour_n which_o trouble_v the_o head_n and_o cause_n it_o to_o ache_v out_o of_o the_o head_n no_o they_o ascend_v out_o of_o the_o body_n into_o the_o head_n and_o so_o cause_v the_o head_n to_o ache_v and_o then_o the_o ache_n of_o the_o head_n be_v y_fw-fr e_o disquietness_n of_o all_o the_o body_n and_o yet_o the_o cause_n be_v not_o in_o the_o head_n but_o in_o the_o ill_a humour_n which_o proceed_v from_o the_o body_n take_v heed_n therefore_o that_o you_o minister_v no_o ill_a humour_n out_o of_o the_o body_n into_o the_o head_n and_o the_o head_n shall_v be_v well_o enough_o able_a to_o govern_v the_o body_n look_v therefore_o to_o y_z e_z purge_v of_o the_o body_n from_o sin_n and_o wickedness_n that_o no_o distemperature_n thereby_o do_v rise_v into_o the_o head_n and_o doubt_v you_o not_o but_o the_o lord_n god_n as_o he_o have_v always_o hitherto_o so_o he_o will_v from_o hence_o forth_o direct_v the_o head_n to_o your_o singular_a benefit_n quietness_n and_o commodity_n and_o in_o this_o behalf_n we_o have_v earnest_o to_o pray_v to_o the_o lord_n for_o the_o preservation_n of_o our_o sovereign_n consider_v how_o great_o we_o have_v provoke_v his_o wrath_n and_o give_v he_o just_a cause_n to_o withdraw_v his_o bountiful_a grace_n from_o she_o which_o hithert_n to_o it_o have_v please_v he_o most_o plenteous_o to_o bestow_v upon_o her_o highness_n to_o our_o singular_a benefit_n and_o comfort_n and_o likewise_o we_o have_v to_o praise_v and_o magnify_v the_o lord_n for_o his_o infinite_a mercy_n declare_v in_o his_o long_a suffering_n and_o patience_n towards_o we_o who_o notwithstanding_o we_o have_v so_o often_o and_o so_o much_o provoke_v he_o to_o indignation_n through_o our_o manifold_a transgression_n contempt_n of_o his_o word_n and_o unthankefulnes_n yet_o have_v he_o so_o bless_v her_o estate_n and_o government_n and_o that_o for_o so_o long_a time_n over_o we_o that_o search_v all_o monument_n of_o story_n from_o the_o beginning_n the_o like_a example_n of_o prosperous_a and_o peaceable_a regiment_n shall_v never_o be_v find_v i_o say_v the_o like_a happy_a and_o quiet_a government_n in_o all_o godliness_n and_o honesty_n for_o so_o many_o year_n together_o be_v not_o to_o be_v show_v in_o this_o island_n out_o of_o any_o record_n of_o antiquity_n turn_v over_o the_o book_n hardly_o and_o spare_v not_o and_o bring_v i_o forth_o no_o small_a example_n but_o only_o such_o as_o our_o most_o sovereign_a lady_n may_v vouchsafe_v to_o excel_v if_o ever_o the_o like_a prosperous_a &_o godly_a estate_n can_v be_v show_v of_o so_o long_a continuance_n let_v we_o therefore_o yield_v glory_n unto_o his_o majesty_n from_o who_o only_a goodness_n this_o as_o all_o other_o good_n gift_n have_v proceed_v &_o thankful_a obedience_n unto_o her_o highness_n who_o he_o have_v use_v as_o a_o mean_a and_o instrument_n to_o procure_v all_o this_o happiness_n unto_o us._n and_o as_o we_o have_v thus_o long_o enjoy_v this_o bless_a government_n so_o that_o we_o may_v enjoy_v it_o twice_o as_o many_o year_n or_o more_o if_o it_o be_v his_o will_n let_v we_o become_v humble_a suitor_n to_o our_o heavenly_a father_n that_o he_o will_v bless_v her_o majesty_n with_o long_a life_n to_o the_o glory_n of_o his_o name_n and_o the_o benefit_n of_o his_o church_n but_o especial_o consider_v we_o have_v provoke_v the_o lord_n wrath_n to_o be_v kindle_v against_o we_o let_v we_o make_v haste_n to_o be_v reconcile_v unto_o he_o by_o unfeigned_a and_o hearty_a repentance_n and_o amendment_n of_o life_n for_o when_o the_o lord_n shall_v see_v we_o turn_v true_o unto_o he_o he_o will_v turn_v from_o the_o fearcenesse_n of_o his_o wrath_n and_o turn_v away_o from_o we_o all_o such_o plague_n and_o punishment_n as_o we_o most_o righteous_o have_v deserve_v he_o will_v turn_v unto_o we_o the_o cheerful_a light_n of_o his_o countenance_n in_o jesus_n christ_n in_o who_o and_o for_o who_o he_o be_v well_o please_v with_o us._n and_o thus_o much_o touch_v the_o righteousness_n of_o god_n which_o be_v the_o first_o part_n the_o second_o point_n we_o have_v to_o consider_v be_v the_o malice_n of_o satan_n which_o be_v note_v to_o we_o in_o the_o 21._o chapter_n of_o the_o first_o book_n of_o chronicle_n where_o it_o be_v say_v that_o satan_n stand_v uppe_o against_o israel_n and_o move_v the_o heart_n of_o david_n to_o number_v the_o people_n although_o the_o malice_n of_o satan_n be_v manifold_a and_o almost_o infinite_a yet_o i_o will_v note_v it_o in_o two_o point_n only_o out_o of_o this_o text_n first_o in_o the_o person_n with_o who_o he_o deal_v and_o second_o in_o the_o sin_n whereunto_o he_o provoke_v he_o concern_v the_o first_o it_o be_v say_v that_o satan_n stand_v up_o against_o israel_n and_o move_v the_o heart_n of_o david_n for_o when_o god_n wrath_n be_v kindle_v against_o israel_n satan_n be_v god_n minister_n to_o execute_v his_o just_a judgement_n not_o of_o obedience_n to_o god_n but_o of_o malice_n to_o israel_n therefore_o how_o do_v he_o execute_v it_o he_o go_v straight_o to_o david_n for_o satan_n find_v himself_o loose_v of_o that_o chain_n by_o which_o he_o be_v restrain_v from_o assault_v the_o people_n of_o god_n who_o he_o defend_v with_o his_o grace_n and_o boil_v in_o malice_n against_o the_o church_n of_o god_n who_o prosperity_n he_o envy_v and_o seek_v her_o destruction_n immediate_o he_o set_v upon_o the_o chief_a governor_n thereof_o all_o his_o malice_n be_v against_o the_o church_n of_o god_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v say_v satan_n stand_v up_o against_o israel_n but_o he_o know_v where_o to_o do_v most_o mischief_n begin_v to_o show_v his_o malice_n against_o david_n he_o seek_v to_o infect_v the_o head_n that_o he_o may_v destroy_v the_o whole_a body_n he_o know_v that_o a_o godly_a and_o virtuous_a prince_n be_v the_o principal_a instrument_n that_o god_n use_v among_o man_n to_o procure_v y_z e_o wealth_n of_o his_o church_n and_o choose_a people_n and_o therefore_o of_o hatred_n against_o y_o e_o church_n &_o rankor_n against_o god_n people_n he_o seek_v by_o all_o mean_n to_o corrupt_v a_o good_a prince_n &_o to_o cause_v a_o godly_a governor_n to_o be_v unprofitable_a to_o they_o see_v therefore_o how_o great_a cause_n we_o have_v with_o earnest_n and_o daily_a prayer_n to_o commend_v unto_o the_o gracious_a protection_n of_o our_o god_n the_o preservation_n of_o our_o godly_a prince_n and_o sovereign_n because_o we_o see_v the_o malice_n of_o satan_n to_o be_v so_o great_a y_z t_z whensoever_o he_o be_v let_v loose_a to_o stand_v up_o against_o israel_n he_o will_v begin_v his_o assault_n where_o he_o know_v he_o may_v do_v most_o hurt_v to_o the_o church_n of_o god._n and_o therefore_o not_o without_o cause_n the_o apostle_n so_o vehement_o exhort_v that_o prayer_n supplication_n intercession_n and_o thankesgiving_n be_v make_v special_o for_o king_n and_o all_o that_o be_v in_o authority_n because_o satan_n malice_n which_o he_o bear_v against_o god_n church_n he_o seek_v special_o to_o execute_v by_o they_o who_o power_n be_v great_a and_o who_o example_n carry_v the_o multitude_n after_o they_o for_o even_o as_o the_o lord_n in_o wisdom_n and_o justice_n use_v to_o punish_v the_o people_n by_o their_o prince_n even_o so_o satan_n of_o hatred_n and_o malice_n seek_v the_o overthrow_n of_o the_o church_n by_o the_o same_o person_n the_o second_o point_n wherein_o the_o malice_n of_o satan_n be_v to_o be_v consider_v be_v the_o vice_n or_o sin_n whereunto_o he_o move_v the_o heart_n of_o david_n the_o text_n say_v he_o move_v david_n to_o number_v the_o people_n for_o a_o prince_n to_o number_n &_o muster_v his_o people_n of_o itself_o it_o be_v no_o sin_n but_o a_o thing_n indifferent_a of_o his_o own_o nature_n which_o at_o sometime_o be_v not_o only_o lawful_a to_o do_v but_o also_o necessary_a and_o therefore_o it_o be_v no_o hard_a matter_n to_o gather_v what_o sin_n david_n commit_v in_o number_v the_o people_n namely_o his_o heart_n by_o satan_n contrary_a to_o his_o former_a faith_n and_o humble_a trust_n in_o god_n
