approve_v their_o choice_n he_o be_v the_o best_a king_n and_o the_o best_a man_n that_o we_o read_v of_o in_o the_o whole_a catalogue_n of_o the_o king_n of_o judah_n he_o perform_v his_o duty_n both_o to_o god_n and_o his_o people_n so_o very_o well_o it_o will_v have_v be_v a_o shame_n to_o his_o subject_n if_o they_o have_v not_o requite_v he_o by_o pay_v he_o all_o that_o observance_n and_o duty_n to_o which_o he_o can_v have_v any_o pretence_n but_o although_o he_o may_v be_v a_o example_n to_o the_o best_a of_o king_n the_o scripture_n give_v he_o this_o eulogy_n and_o like_v unto_o he_o there_o be_v no_o king_n before_o he_o that_o turn_v to_o the_o lord_n with_o all_o his_o heart_n and_o with_o all_o his_o soul_n and_o with_o all_o his_o might_n according_a to_o the_o law_n of_o moses_n neither_o after_o he_o arise_v there_o any_o like_o he_o yet_o from_o he_o we_o may_v best_o learn_v what_o a_o intolerable_a mischief_n a_o wicked_a king_n be_v for_o though_o josiah_n be_v so_o very_o good_a yet_o there_o be_v a_o old_a arrere_n of_o his_o grandfather_n manasseh_n that_o all_o his_o virtue_n and_o goodness_n can_v not_o clear_v for_o notwithstanding_o the_o lord_n turn_v not_o from_o the_o fierceness_n of_o his_o great_a wrath_n wherewith_o his_o anger_n be_v kindle_v against_o judah_n because_o of_o all_o the_o provocation_n that_o manasseh_n have_v provoke_v he_o withal_o and_o the_o lord_n say_v i_o will_v remove_v judah_n out_o of_o my_o sight_n as_o i_o have_v remove_v israel_n and_o will_v cast_v off_o this_o city_n jerusalem_n which_o i_o have_v choose_v and_o the_o house_n of_o which_o i_o say_v my_o name_n shall_v be_v there_o 2_o king_n 23.26_o 27._o therefore_o what_o reason_n have_v both_o church_n and_o state_n to_o deprecate_v such_o a_o king_n as_o will_v infallible_o entail_v ruin_n on_o both_o for_o you_o see_v that_o god_n house_n even_o that_o house_n that_o he_o have_v choose_v to_o set_v his_o name_n

good_a lord_n deliver_v we_o but_o above_o all_o we_o ought_v to_o be_v fearful_a of_o and_o pray_v against_o a_o idolatrous_a and_o bloody_a king_n for_o those_o be_v the_o two_o crime_n with_o which_o manasseh_n be_v particular_o charge_v and_o which_o hasten_v the_o captivity_n of_o judah_n and_o consequent_o shorten_v the_o life_n and_o reign_n of_o the_o good_a and_o belove_a josiah_n to_o who_o it_o be_v particular_o promise_v as_o a_o blessing_n that_o he_o shall_v not_o live_v to_o see_v the_o ruin_n and_o desolation_n that_o be_v to_o be_v bring_v on_o the_o nation_n after_o his_o death_n after_o which_o the_o people_n of_o the_o land_n take_v jehoabas_n the_o son_n of_o josiah_n and_o make_v he_o king_n in_o his_o father_n stead_n in_o jerusalem_n 2_o chron._n 36.1_o and_o 2_o king_n 23.30_o but_o although_o he_o inherit_v his_o father_n kingdom_n it_o seem_v he_o do_v not_o his_o virtue_n for_o it_o follow_v in_o ver_fw-la 32._o that_o he_o do_v evil_a in_o the_o sight_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o so_o his_o reign_n be_v very_o short_a for_o pharaoh_n necho_n make_v he_o a_o prisoner_n and_o carry_v he_o into_o egypt_n and_o make_v his_o elder_a brother_n jehoiakim_n king_n in_o his_o stead_n in_o who_o day_n the_o king_n of_o babylon_n first_o come_v up_o against_o judah_n and_o after_o his_o death_n jehoiachin_n succeed_v who_o nabuchadnezzar_n carry_v to_o babylon_n and_o make_v zedekiah_n king_n in_o who_o the_o succession_n be_v quite_o invert_v for_o he_o be_v uncle_n and_o not_o in_o the_o direct_a line_n and_o the_o monarchy_n also_o end_v with_o he_o i_o shall_v here_o have_v concude_v this_o part_n of_o my_o discourse_n but_o that_o i_o can_v omit_v one_o observation_n and_o that_o be_v that_o there_o be_v several_a king_n of_o judah_n alive_a at_o the_o same_o time_n it_o be_v certain_a two_o jeconiah_n and_o zedekiah_n but_o for_o any_o thing_n i_o know_v there_o may_v be_v three_o for_o we_o do_v not_o read_v of_o the_o death_n of_o jehoahas_n who_o be_v carry_v prisoner_n into_o egypt_n and_o by_o his_o age_n i_o be_o sure_a he_o may_v survive_v zedekiah_n carry_v to_o babylon_n for_o he_o be_v but_o twenty_o three_o year_n old_a when_o he_o begin_v to_o reign_v and_o his_o own_o reign_n with_o all_o the_o three_o king_n that_o succeed_v he_o do_v not_o make_v twenty_o three_o year_n more_o before_o the_o captivity_n but_o now_o i_o will_v fain_o know_v what_o the_o royalist_n of_o our_o age_n will_v do_v in_o such_o a_o case_n and_o which_o of_o the_o three_o they_o will_v own_v for_o there_o be_v great_a variety_n one_o set_v up_o by_o the_o people_n the_o second_o as_o heir_n to_o he_o who_o the_o king_n of_o egypt_n have_v set_v up_o and_o the_o three_o set_v up_o by_o the_o king_n of_o babylon_n but_o i_o do_v not_o find_v that_o the_o jew_n have_v any_o such_o scruple_n at_o that_o time_n but_o always_o obey_v they_o which_o be_v in_o possession_n as_o long_o as_o they_o be_v so_o let_v they_o be_v set_v up_o by_o who_o they_o will_v and_o the_o scripture_n give_v they_o the_o same_o epithet_n they_o be_v all_o call_v king_n without_o ever_o dispute_v their_o title_n nor_o be_v the_o people_n reprove_v for_o obey_v zedekiah_n although_o they_o know_v that_o jehoiachin_n who_o have_v certain_o the_o better_a title_n and_o have_v also_o reign_v as_o king_n be_v alive_a but_o although_o the_o people_n be_v not_o rebuke_v for_o submit_v to_o zedekiah_n who_o nebuchanezzar_n have_v set_v over_o they_o yet_o zedekiah_n be_v for_o not_o obey_v the_o king_n of_o babylon_n to_o who_o he_o have_v past_o his_o word_n that_o he_o will_v so_o that_o we_o may_v see_v that_o king_n be_v oblige_v by_o their_o oath_n and_o promise_n as_o well_o as_o other_o men._n which_o bring_v i_o to_o my_o three_o particular_a i_o be_v to_o prove_v which_o be_v that_o at_o the_o first_o set_v up_o of_o king_n among_o the_o jew_n their_o power_n be_v not_o absolute_a but_o that_o they_o be_v oblige_v to_o certain_a covenant_n and_o condition_n and_o although_o i_o will_v not_o pretend_v to_o prove_v it_o of_o every_o individual_a king_n yet_o if_o i_o can_v do_v it_o of_o the_o first_o and_o second_o and_o also_o the_o solemn_a repeat_n of_o it_o after_o a_o interregnum_fw-la i_o shall_v hope_v i_o have_v do_v all_o that_o can_v be_v expect_v from_o i_o for_o whoever_o succeed_v to_o a_o crown_n be_v suppose_v to_o take_v it_o on_o the_o same_o condition_n his_o predecessor_n have_v it_o which_o it_o will_v be_v superfluous_a for_o the_o story_n to_o repeat_v every_o time_n iii_o and_o therefore_o i_o shall_v not_o make_v a_o long_a preface_n to_o a_o point_n that_o i_o hope_v so_o easy_o to_o dispatch_v for_o i_o suppose_v that_o a_o few_o plain_a scripture-proof_n will_v for_o i_o be_o sure_a they_o ought_v to_o go_v far_o than_o a_o long_a rhetorical_a discourse_n and_o how_o few_o instance_n soever_o i_o can_v bring_v yet_o i_o shall_v begin_v at_o the_o springhead_n and_o make_v the_o first_o king_n saul_n and_o david_n witness_n to_o the_o truth_n of_o what_o i_o now_o assert_v and_o prove_v that_o such_o a_o compact_a and_o agreement_n between_o the_o prince_n and_o people_n be_v the_o very_a cornerstone_n of_o monarchy_n itself_o and_o that_o i_o may_v do_v this_o the_o more_o full_o and_o clear_o i_o must_v beg_v my_o reader_n be_v pardon_n though_o i_o carry_v he_o so_o far_o back_o as_o the_o inauguration_n of_o saul_n the_o first_o king_n of_o israel_n but_o i_o shall_v not_o tire_v his_o patience_n so_o much_o as_o to_o repeat_v all_o that_o i_o have_v already_o say_v of_o samuel_n displeasure_n at_o the_o people_n for_o reject_v god_n and_o defire_v a_o man_n to_o be_v set_v over_o they_o for_o their_o king_n 1_o sam._n 10.19_o and_o though_o samuel_n to_o terrify_v they_o have_v represent_v the_o king_n they_o desire_v rather_o in_o the_o shape_n of_o a_o tyrant_n that_o will_v destroy_v and_o ruin_v than_o of_o a_o prince_n that_o be_v to_o defend_v and_o save_v they_o 1_o sam._n 8._o from_o the_o 11_o the_o to_o the_o 19_o the_o yet_o see_v they_o will_v not_o be_v discourage_v but_o still_o persist_v in_o their_o resolution_n nay_o but_o we_o will_v have_v a_o king_n over_o we_o god_n be_v so_o merciful_a to_o they_o as_o to_o give_v rule_n to_o this_o unruly_a king_n that_o samuel_n have_v describe_v as_o i_o think_v we_o may_v safe_o collect_v from_o 1_o sam._n 10.25_o then_o samuel_n tell_v the_o people_n the_o manner_n of_o the_o kingdom_n and_o write_v it_o in_o a_o
