to_o this_o i_o shall_v demonstrate_v these_o two_o thing_n first_o that_o the_o set_n up_o of_o christ_n to_o be_v king_n be_v the_o great_a the_o most_o desirable_a good_a that_o ever_o can_v

manifest_v that_o the_o one_o be_v the_o great_a and_o the_o other_o the_o most_o desirable_a mean_n to_o attain_v it_o where_o these_o two_o thing_n meet_v there_o must_v needs_o be_v matter_n of_o great_a joy_n for_o proof_n of_o the_o first_o i_o desire_v you_o but_o to_o compare_v it_o with_o all_o those_o thing_n which_o make_v any_o nation_n happy_a in_o their_o prince_n or_o be_v

will_v confine_v myself_o to_o four_o thing_n the_o glory_n and_o honour_n that_o come_v to_o that_o nation_n where_o christ_n be_v set_v up_o to_o be_v their_o lord_n and_o king_n the_o glory_n that_o thereby_o people_n by_o come_v to_o a_o nation_n you_o know_v be_v the_o thing_n w●ich_a make_v a_o people_n rejoice_v in_o their_o king_n when_o their_o king_n be_v a_o ornament_n to_o they_o the_o kingdom_n and_o prince_n who_o live_v round_o about_o solomon_n account_v it_o no_o dishonour_n to_o they_o to_o be_v solomon_n tributary_n and_o servant_n because_o he_o be_v such_o a_o

i_o beseech_v you_o brethren_n by_o the_o name_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n that_o you_o all_o speak_v the_o same_o thing_n 10._o and_o that_o there_o be_v no_o division_n among_o you_o but_o that_o you_o be_v perfect_o join_v together_o in_o the_o same_o mind_n and_o in_o the_o same_o judgement_n and_o whereto_o we_o have_v attain_v let_v we_o walk_v by_o the_o same_o rule_n let_v we_o mind_v the_o same_o thing_n and_o so_o much_o for_o the_o first_o branch_n of_o the_o matter_n of_o their_o joy_n they_o meet_v together_o to_o set_v up_o david_n to_o be_v king_n that_o be_v david_n as_o he_o be_v a_o type_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n who_o we_o be_v endeavour_v to_o exalt_v upon_o his_o throne_n the_o time_n command_v i_o to_o be_v very_o short_a in_o the_o other_o branch_n and_o i_o may_v very_o well_o for_o if_o the_o lord_n shall_v not_o prosper_v we_o in_o this_o that_o we_o shall_v not_o join_v togethee_o to_o set_v up_o christ_n in_o vain_a shall_v we_o

of_o it_o and_o make_v we_o happy_a without_o it_o brief_o the_o lesson_n from_o it_o be_v this_o that_o such_o a_o concurrence_n as_o be_v aforementioned_a to_o set_v up_o a_o prince_n in_o this_o common-weal_n like_v to_o david_n scripture_n be_v a_o matter_n of_o great_a joy_n and_o rejoice_v i_o shall_v according_a to_o promise_n be_v very_o brief_a in_o it_o have_v not_o the_o time_n prevent_v i_o will_v have_v produce_v and_o open_v unto_o you_o divers_a example_n out_o of_o the_o scripture_n of_o the_o great_a content_n and_o joy_n which_o have_v be_v where_o there_o have_v meet_v a_o concurrence_n of_o the_o noble_n and_o leader_n of_o the_o people_n king_n to_o set_v up_o a_o good_a magistrate_n over_o they_o viz._n in_o david_n in_o solomon_n in_o joash_n in_o nehemiah_n and_o divers_a other_o where_o when_o good_a governor_n and_o government_n have_v be_v set_v up_o the_o people_n have_v infinite_o rejoice_v but_o you_o will_v understand_v it_o full_o by_o that_o time_n i_o have_v but_o a_o little_a show_v you_o the_o relation_n betwixt_o a_o prince_n and_o his_o people_n he_o be_v their_o head_n their_o lord_n their_o father_n they_o be_v his_o child_n he_o be_v so_o the_o scripture_n call_v it_o to_o be_v the_o light_n of_o their_o eye_n the_o breath_n of_o their_o nostril_n a_o kind_n of_o fountain_n to_o derive_v all_o good_a to_o they_o this_o he_o be_v ex_fw-la officio_fw-la and_o therefore_o it_o follow_v that_o the_o goodness_n or_o illness_n of_o prince_n be_v not_o to_o themselves_o alone_o but_o all_o their_o people_n do_v share_n with_o they_o either_o in_o blessedness_n or_o in_o misery_n according_a as_o the_o prince_n be_v in_o goodness_n or_o in_o badness_n let_v the_o prince_n be_v a_o good_a man_n a_o david_n he_o be_v then_o like_o unto_o nebuchadnezar_n tree_n which_o he_o see_v in_o his_o vision_n that_o have_v meat_n for_o all_o the_o fruit_n thereof_o much_o and_o bough_n for_o bird_n to_o make_v their_o nest_n in_o and_o shelter_v for_o all_o beast_n that_o they_o may_v dwell_v under_o it_o that_o be_v afford_v relief_n and_o comfort_n to_o all_o he_o be_v the_o light_n of_o the_o eye_n to_o his_o people_n the_o breath_n of_o their_o nostril_n he_o be_v worth_a 10000_o of_o they_o and_o to_o such_o a_o one_o the_o people_n do_v most_o joyful_o as_o they_o ought_v to_o do_v yield_v reverence_n even_o the_o great_a next_o unto_o god_n and_o allegiance_n to_o their_o person_n and_o authority_n subjection_n and_o obedience_n to_o their_o law_n maintenance_n out_o of_o their_o own_o estate_n and_o furnish_v they_o with_o counsel_n and_o all_o manner_n of_o prayer_n cheerful_o as_o they_o ought_v to_o do_v because_o under_o such_o a_o prince_n religion_n be_v preserve_v if_o it_o be_v corrupt_a it_o be_v purge_v reform_a justice_n be_v administer_v without_o partiality_n good_a man_n be_v encourage_v peace_n be_v procure_v and_o preserve_v trade_n be_v likewise_o enrich_v learning_n and_o all_o such_o like_v promote_v the_o poor_a be_v relieve_v all_o make_v happy_a can_v you_o wonder_v then_o that_o where_o there_o be_v a_o concurrence_n to_o have_v such_o a_o one_o set_v up_o there_o be_v great_a joy_n on_o the_o other_o side_n let_v the_o prince_n be_v either_o weak_a and_o foolish_a or_o wicked_a and_o ungodly_a riotous_a and_o luxurious_a let_v he_o be_v cruel_a and_o

the_o very_a organ_n of_o their_o breathe_n the_o breath_n of_o their_o nostril_n come_v to_o be_v corrupt_v or_o take_v from_o they_o how_o miserable_a be_v they_o when_o the_o very_a fountain_n that_o shall_v afford_v they_o comfort_n be_v poison_v such_o a_o prince_n be_v like_a to_o jeroboam_n 16_o that_o compel_v the_o people_n to_o sin_n and_o misery_n like_v unto_o the_o dragon_n who_o when_o he_o fall_v from_o heaven_n draw_v the_o very_a star_n from_o heaven_n to_o the_o ground_n with_o he_o like_o to_o great_a cedar_n which_o when_o they_o fall_v 4._o break_v all_o the_o wood_n

good_a king_n set_v up_o to_o rule_v over_o you_o i_o add_v second_o that_o this_o be_v a_o great_a matter_n of_o joy_n when_o the_o noble_n the_o parliament_n the_o lead_a man_n of_o the_o city_n and_o tribe_n concur_v 2._o to_o have_v such_o a_o one_o both_o because_o that_o be_v the_o most_o likely_a mean_n to_o it_o obtain_v it_o god_n promise_v his_o blessing_n to_o such_o endeavour_n and_o they_o likewise_o have_v some_o beam_n of_o god_n authority_n put_v upon_o they_o may_v by_o their_o council_n and_o example_n make_v the_o prince_n to_o be_v good_a and_o enable_v he_o to_o

people_n happy_a though_o they_o fail_v of_o it_o in_o the_o other_o i_o shall_v make_v a_o brief_a application_n of_o this_o second_o branch_n and_o so_o pass_v over_o it_o first_o if_o to_o have_v a_o david_n to_o be_v our_o king_n be_v such_o a_o blessedness_n this_o then_o how_o curse_v and_o ten_o thousand_o time_n curse_v be_v they_o who_o endeavour_v for_o ever_o to_o rob_v we_o of_o
