the_o application_n of_o the_o matter_n of_o they_o to_o ourselves_o first_o i_o begin_v with_o they_o in_o the_o first_o sense_n and_o therein_o with_o 1._o the_o first_o observable_a in_o they_o david_n institute_v a_o form_n of_o lamentation_n for_o the_o death_n of_o saul_n and_o david_n lament_v with_o this_o lamentation_n over_o saul_n and_o over_o jonathan_n his_o son_n in_o speak_v to_o which_o i_o do_v not_o desire_v to_o be_v interrupt_v with_o the_o clamorous_a objection_n of_o this_o age_n against_o all_o public_a form_n in_o any_o thing_n relative_a to_o divine_a service_n it_o be_v very_o well_o and_o a_o happy_a thing_n that_o the_o great_a starter_n of_o the_o dispute_n have_v sufficient_o confute_v their_o own_o maxim_n and_o the_o impose_v a_o public_a directory_n will_v make_v ridiculous_a all_o general_a argument_n against_o liturgy_n it_o be_v sufficient_a that_o the_o institution_n of_o this_o stand_v warrant_v by_o and_o may_v claim_v a_o right_n in_o all_o those_o great_a reason_n for_o a_o stand_a liturgy_n which_o yet_o do_v and_o i_o be_o confident_a will_v stand_v unassoil_v to_o the_o great_a dissolution_n and_o if_o there_o be_v any_o man_n that_o think_v otherwise_o he_o have_v now_o a_o fair_a opportunity_n to_o signalise_v himself_o and_o gain_v the_o reputation_n of_o a_o dare_a goliath_n by_o challenge_v all_o the_o army_n of_o israel_n and_o i_o little_a doubt_n but_o he_o shall_v meet_v with_o the_o fate_n of_o his_o great_a denominator_fw-la and_o i_o be_o the_o more_o confirm_v herein_o because_o here_o be_v a_o david_n that_o stand_v ready_a to_o take_v up_o the_o gauntlet_n and_o it_o may_v not_o perhaps_o be_v impertinent_a or_o unpleasant_a to_o observe_v that_o as_o if_o there_o be_v some_o secret_a magic_n or_o charm_n in_o the_o name_n of_o david_n all_o that_o relate_v to_o he_o have_v never_o be_v controvert_v and_o of_o all_o the_o part_n in_o the_o liturgy_n the_o psalm_n the_o metrical_a composure_n of_o david_n which_o be_v so_o great_a a_o part_n of_o it_o have_v least_o of_o all_o be_v dispute_v and_o i_o can_v guess_v at_o a_o reason_n of_o this_o unless_o it_o be_v that_o their_o pretence_n to_o the_o spirit_n will_v hence_o have_v receive_v their_o own_o confutation_n and_o all_o man_n see_v it_o be_v not_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n that_o act_v they_o for_o there_o be_v no_o doubt_n but_o that_o can_v indite_v metre_n as_o well_o as_o harangue_n in_o prose_n but_o their_o fear_n of_o this_o will_v never_o permit_v they_o yet_o to_o put_v it_o unto_o trial_n but_o i_o pass_v all_o

no_o but_o to_o congratulate_v it_o rather_o and_o i_o take_v the_o so_o religious_a observation_n of_o this_o day_n to_o be_v a_o stand_a evidence_n of_o it_o and_o i_o can_v no_o way_n question_n but_o such_o wise_a man_n that_o have_v signalise_v themselves_o by_o their_o prudent_a government_n of_o this_o city_n and_o preserve_a order_n in_o it_o to_o such_o measure_n that_o no_o such_o city_n in_o europe_n can_v boast_v the_o like_a and_o have_v receive_v just_a mark_n of_o honour_n for_o it_o from_o a_o king_n that_o can_v never_o fail_v to_o reward_v merit_n do_v very_o well_o understand_v their_o own_o duty_n and_o know_v how_o to_o demean_v themselves_o according_o and_o will_v never_o sully_v the_o glory_n of_o these_o action_n and_o the_o honour_n get_v by_o they_o by_o any_o thing_n unworthy_a of_o either_o it_o be_v just_o to_o be_v hope_v that_o as_o the_o late_a fire_n have_v true_o refine_v this_o city_n it_o rise_v up_o in_o a_o splendour_n much_o great_a than_o be_v before_o so_o that_o it_o have_v melt_v down_o all_o faeces_fw-la and_o dregs_o of_o undutifulness_n that_o be_v former_o in_o the_o heart_n of_o any_o of_o its_o inhabitant_n and_o that_o as_o justice_n seem_v write_v on_o your_o gate_n so_o lonalty_n will_v be_v the_o embellishment_n of_o your_o palace_n and_o i_o be_o the_o more_o confident_a in_o my_o hope_n of_o these_o thing_n because_o all_o consider_a man_n will_v clear_o see_v these_o three_o great_a thing_n to_o depend_v upon_o it_o and_o be_v secure_v by_o it_o 1._o the_o honour_n and_o safety_n of_o the_o king_n 2._o

loyalty_n of_o this_o capital_a city_n 1._o the_o honour_n and_o safety_n of_o the_o king_n for_o as_o the_o honour_n of_o a_o king_n be_v in_o the_o multitude_n of_o his_o subject_n so_o his_o safety_n consist_v in_o the_o love_n and_o affection_n and_o loyalty_n of_o these_o subject_n and_o the_o great_a the_o number_n of_o subject_n that_o be_v embody_v be_v the_o more_o conducive_a to_o his_o safety_n be_v the_o love_n of_o they_o since_o they_o can_v always_o be_v more_o ready_a as_o well_o as_o able_a to_o yield_v he_o assistance_n and_o to_o strike_v despair_n into_o any_o that_o will_v attempt_v against_o he_o 2._o the_o honour_n and_o welfare_n of_o this_o city_n itself_o he_o that_o will_v search_v into_o the_o cause_n of_o the_o decay_n or_o ruin_n of_o royal_a city_n will_v soon_o find_v their_o separate_n from_o their_o king_n to_o be_v one_o great_a one_o i_o can_v multiply_v instance_n because_o i_o have_v not_o time_n of_o this_o i_o shall_v only_o beg_v you_o to_o call_v to_o your_o remembrance_n a_o instance_n in_o our_o next_o kingdom_n of_o france_n it_o will_v be_v hard_a for_o any_o man_n without_o tear_n to_o read_v the_o misery_n of_o that_o city_n not_o very_o long_o ago_o but_o the_o cause_n be_v obvious_a it_o be_v be_v separate_v from_o their_o king_n by_o the_o faction_n of_o the_o house_n of_o guise_n and_o by_o the_o bewitch_a charm_n of_o a_o holy_a league_n if_o you_o will_v recollect_v your_o own_o misery_n in_o the_o late_a time_n which_o i_o have_v see_v some_o of_o you_o weep_v for_o you_o will_v be_v able_a to_o ascribe_v

safety_n of_o the_o king_n depend_v upon_o the_o welfare_n of_o this_o city_n and_o the_o welfare_n of_o this_o city_n depend_v upon_o the_o safety_n of_o the_o king_n and_o if_o man_n will_v look_v into_o the_o truth_n of_o thing_n they_o will_v soon_o perceive_v that_o their_o interest_n be_v complicate_v and_o indeed_o the_o same_o the_o safety_n of_o all_o body_n next_o ever_o to_o god_n blessing_n consist_v in_o the_o firm_a cohesion_n of_o its_o part_n and_o it_o be_v true_a in_o experience_n as_o well_o as_o speculation_n and_o who_o ever_o will_v trace_v either_o the_o ruin_n of_o the_o king_n or_o subsequent_a misery_n of_o this_o city_n to_o their_o first_o origin_n will_v soon_o find_v the_o artifice_n of_o some_o man_n in_o separate_v they_o from_o each_o other_o effect_v both_o and_o you_o may_v see_v the_o same_o thing_n plain_o still_o for_o these_o man_n that_o design_v now_o the_o same_o thing_n again_o do_v pursue_v they_o still_o by_o the_o same_o method_n it_o
