The constant practice of the Christians and Churches of this our Island of Great Britain from Lucius the first Christian King thereof till Jan. 30. 1648. the day of King Charles his bloody death in making supplications prayers intercessions and thanksgivings unto God for their Kings Queens and their royal posterity both in publick and private devotions and in their Epistles addresses to them whether good or bad pious or impious orthodox or heterodox gracious or tyrannical 2. The universal practice of all the primitive Christians Churches Fathers Councils under the Roman Emperors and Kings after they turned Christians and of their successors in all succeding ages to this present in doing the like 3. The usual special forms of prayers collects supplications and thanksgivings at the solemn Inaugurations and Coronations of their Emperors Kings and Princes But these being somewhat long and requiring more time to digest and publish them than I am yet master of I shall reserve them God willing for a Second part if this find acceptation as no doubt it will with all pious real Subjects truly fearing God and honoring their lawfull King I shall therefore cloze up this part with a few brief Corollaries and Conclusions deduced from and warranted by the premised Chapters 1. That it is not a meer arbitrary and voluntary but the very bounden commanded indispensible duty of every Christian and Subject whatsoever but more especially of Ministers and Clergy-men by the Law of God Nature Nations to make daily hearty fervent constant supplications prayers intercessions and thanksgivings unto God for their lawfull Emperors Kings Princes and their royal Posterity where hereditary whether their Emperors or Kings be Infidels Idolaters Papists Hereticks Persecutors Tyrants or Orthodox Christians Protestants Just Righteous Pious Mercifull and Fathers to their people And that it is not only a great sin and impiety against God but a high contempt Indignity Disloyalty and Treason to their Soveraigns to neglect and give over these duties or coldly or rarely to perform them 2. That these duties are more frequently fervently and constantly to be practised by Ministers and all other Subjects and Christians in the times of their Emperors Kings and Princes greatest Dangers Troubles Trials Distresses Exiles

Thereupon Paul said I would to God not only thou but also all that hear me this day were both almost and altogether such as I am except these bonds A direct prayer to God for this Kings and his other Auditors Conversion to Christianity Thus much for Scripture Presidents and Precepts warranting and commanding this duty both before and under the Law and Gospel I now proceed to other Testimonies in the Primitive Church as well for Pagan Arrian and heretical persecuting Emperors Kings Princes as for Christian Orthodox and such who were Protectors of Christianity and Christians CHAP.
