fear_n the_o other_o a_o civil_a filial_a fear_n the_o point_n in_o brief_n be_v true_a subject_n bear_v to_o their_o king_n such_o a_o fear_n as_o child_n to_o point_n their_o parent_n not_o a_o fear_n with_o terror_n as_o the_o apostle_n say_v to_o parent_n 21._o provoke_v not_o your_o child_n to_o wrath_n the_o name_n of_o a_o father_n be_v a_o name_n of_o love_n and_o have_v in_o it_o the_o bowel_n of_o a_o natural_a affection_n which_o be_v above_o all_o other_o kind_n of_o human_a affection_n now_o a_o king_n be_v the_o father_n of_o his_o country_n and_o all_o his_o love_a and_o loyal_a patr●●_n subject_n be_v as_o so_o many_o child_n into_o he_o he_o be_v the_o father_n of_o the_o great_a family_n of_o his_o kingdom_n he_o be_v the_o great_a lord_n steward_n who_o god_n have_v set_v over_o his_o family_n to_o provide_v for_o they_o and_o to_o protect_v they_o he_o be_v the_o shepherd_n of_o the_o people_n to_o feed_v they_o &_o rule_v they_o as_o david_n psal._n 78._o 71._o 72._o now_o the_o sheep_n be_v afraid_a of_o the_o wolf_n not_o of_o the_o shepherd_n therefore_o say_v the_o apostle_n if_o thou_o do_v evil_a be_v afraid_a so_o as_o a_o good_a subject_n so_o fear_v as_o he_o be_v not_o afraid_a because_o he_o live_v in_o obedience_n to_o god_n and_o his_o king_n again_o this_o filial_a fear_n in_o a_o subject_a towards_o his_o prince_n do_v necessary_o imply_v a_o excellent_a and_o eminent_a love_n towards_o the_o king_n yea_o great_a love_n then_o natural_a child_n bear_v unto_o their_o parent_n namely_o as_o they_o be_v member_n of_o the_o great_a politic_a body_n unite_v to_o the_o king_n as_o the_o head_n there_o be_v a_o near_a tie_n of_o affection_n between_o the_o head_n and_o the_o member_n then_o between_o a_o father_n

the_o true_a fear_n of_o a_o king_n as_o it_o be_v a_o filial_a fear_n so_o poi●_n it_o be_v a_o fear_n of_o adherency_n a_o fear_n full_a of_o loyalty_n and_o fidelity_n which_o make_v a_o true_a subject_a to_o stick_v so_o close_o to_o his_o prince_n at_o all_o time_n and_o in_o all_o condition_n as_o nothing_o can_v make_v a_o separation_n the_o king_n and_o his_o subject_n be_v unite_v with_o strong_a ligament_n as_o the_o head_n and_o body_n and_o this_o fear_n of_o adherency_n be_v a_o special_a gift_n of_o god_n as_o we_o read_v 1._o sam._n 10._o 26._o there_o go_v with_o saul_n a_o band_n of_o man_n who_o heart_n god_n have_v touch_v but_o such_o as_o cleave_v not_o unto_o the_o king_n be_v brand_v for_o child_n of_o belial_n who_o despise_v their_o king_n vers_fw-la 27._o so_o we_o read_v also_o of_o david_n when_o he_o be_v in_o great_a distress_n and_o strait_n by_o reason_n of_o his_o unnatural_a and_o traitorous_a son_n absalon_n and_o those_o many_o tribe_n of_o

be_v ready_a to_o do_v whatsoever_o my_o lord_n the_o king_n shall_v appoint_v and_o vers_fw-la 21._o ittai_fw-mi say_v to_o the_o king_n when_o he_o go_v about_o to_o persuade_v he_o to_o go_v back_o and_o to_o take_v care_n for_o his_o safety_n as_o verse_n 19_o 2d_o as_o the_o lord_n live_v and_o as_o my_o lord_n the_o king_n live_v sure_o in_o what_o place_n my_o lord_n the_o king_n shall_v be_v whether_o in_o death_n or_o life_n even_o there_o also_o will_v thy_o servant_n be_v here_o be_v a_o faithful_a servant_n and_o loyal_a subject_n indeed_o and_o great_a reason_n every_o good_a subject_n shall_v stick_v close_o to_o his_o king_n in_o all_o difficulty_n first_o we_o be_v bind_v hereunto_o by_o a_o strong_a bond_n of_o conscience_n as_o before_o rom._n 13._o 5._o and_o this_o conscience_n be_v ground_v upon_o the_o true_a religion_n and_o fear_v of_o god_n which_o be_v the_o sure_a bond_n of_o all_o obedience_n this_o be_v that_o bond_n which_o tie_v the_o christian_n of_o old_a to_o perform_v such_o faithful_a military_a service_n unto_o the_o heathen_a emperor_n and_o those_o also_o who_o where_o otherwise_o cruel_a persecuter_n of_o the_o church_n and_o apostate_n from_o christ._n as_o we_o see_v in_o the_o example_n of_o horat._n julian_n who_o when_o he_o command_v his_o band_n of_o christian_n to_o march_v against_o his_o enemy_n those_o of_o the_o heathen_a they_o straight_o obey_v and_o put_v their_o life_n in_o hazard_n but_o if_o he_o command_v they_o to_o fight_v against_o the_o christian_n their_o brethren_n than_o they_o lay_v down_o their_o arm_n and_o cast_v themselves_o down_o at_o the_o emperor_n foot_n and_o offer_v their_o naked_a body_n rather_o to_o suffer_v whatsoever_o torment_v a_o second_o reason_n why_o a_o good_a subject_n ought_v to_o stick_v close_o to_o his_o king_n in_o all_o difficulty_n because_o this_o be_v the_o mean_n to_o make_v a_o kingdom_n invincible_a and_o terrible_a to_o the_o enemy_n therefore_o it_o be_v a_o old_a say_n divide_v and_o rule_v division_n in_o a_o state_n expose_v it_o to_o foreign_a enemy_n but_o unity_n of_o heart_n and_o affection_n between_o the_o subject_n and_o their_o sovereign_n make_v a_o commonwealth_n happy_a and_o perpetual_a when_o myself_o be_v once_o at_o the_o high_a commission_n false_o charge_v by_o a_o great_a prelate_n of_o sedition_n in_o that_o say_v he_o i_o

my_o book_n to_o the_o whole_a parliament_n to_o wit_n to_o the_o king_n and_o both_o the_o house_n i_o do_v not_o divide_v the_o head_n from_o the_o body_n my_o lord_n but_o i_o pray_v god_n unite_v they_o together_o hereat_o he_o be_v mute_a and_o all_o his_o railing_n and_o false_a charge_n be_v at_o a_o nonplus_n so_o it_o seem_v some_o there_o be_v not_o far_o off_o who_o go_v about_o parliament_n at_o that_o time_n to_o divide_v the_o king_n from_o his_o people_n and_o yet_o another_o of_o they_o say_v amen_o to_o my_o prayer_n be_v convince_v of_o this_o truth_n that_o division_n or_o heartburning_n between_o the_o king_n and_o his_o subject_n be_v most_o perilous_a use_v 1_o here_o then_o those_o be_v just_o and_o severe_o censurable_a even_o as_o traitor_n to_o the_o king_n and_o state_n who_o play_v the_o make-baite_n between_o the_o prince_n and_o people_n and_o these_o be_v the_o jesuit_n and_o seminary_n priest_n or_o else_o those_o of_o their_o faction_n who_o

of_o dissension_n between_o our_o gracious_a sovereign_n and_o his_o love_a and_o loyal_a subject_n and_o this_o they_o labour_v to_o do_v two_o way_n either_o by_o incense_a the_o king_n with_o a_o
