A76788	Endevors aiming at the glory of God, that peace & truth may meet together: wherein is contained the excellency, benefit, and necessity of good government and governors: a loving reply to Mr William Prynnes speech made to the House of Commons, and afterwards published. Some matters are propounded to the consideration of the ministry; and also to particular (and to all) opinions. The first, purest, best and most blessed form and manner of government, prescribed by God, (and recorded in Gods sacred word;) together with the way of entrance, or Gods calling of persons to places of chief government, the great consequence thereof. Wherein is shewed, that government by succession, from the father to the son, was none of Gods institution, in the first and purest times. And also the government by Judges is plainly proved to be the best form of government, being Gods immediate direction, most blessed and approved for Gods glory, and for a peoples greatest good, comfort, and safety. / By John Blackleach.

god_n with_o our_o body_n the_o lord_n give_v we_o understanding_n and_o now_o i_o shall_v speak_v a_o word_n to_o the_o three_o way_n of_o choose_v governor_n it_o be_v say_v in_o sundry_a place_n of_o scripture_n that_o when_o the_o people_n have_v forget_v or_o cast_v behind_o they_o god_n commandment_n yet_o even_o when_o they_o earnest_o seek_v god_n help_n god_n counsel_n than_o god_n stir_v or_o raise_v they_o up_o a_o saviour_n or_o deliverer_n the_o way_n be_v not_o so_o plain_o describe_v where_o we_o may_v take_v notice_n of_o the_o people_n negligence_n in_o not_o seek_v to_o god_n for_o governor_n for_o at_o such_o time_n when_o the_o people_n commit_v such_o wickedness_n we_o shall_v usual_o find_v that_o the_o state_n or_o commonwealth_n be_v vacant_a of_o a_o chief_a governor_n read_v judg._n 3.7_o so_o the_o child_n of_o jsrael_n do_v wicked_o in_o the_o sight_n of_o the_o lord_n ver._n 9_o and_o when_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n cry_v unto_o the_o lord_n stir_v

be_v negligent_a in_o inquire_v of_o god_n before_o their_o distress_n for_o a_o chief_a judge_n the_o state_n be_v empty_a and_o we_o may_v note_v that_o till_o they_o seek_v the_o lord_n god_n suffer_v they_o to_o be_v afflict_v but_o when_o they_o cry_v unto_o the_o lord_n when_o they_o do_v cleave_v to_o the_o lord_n the_o lord_n relieve_v they_o and_o show_v to_o they_o mercy_n this_o

never_o err_v the_o three_o way_n be_v more_o dubious_a yet_o i_o dare_v not_o oppose_v it_o where_o god_n raise_v up_o a_o man_n and_o make_v he_o a_o eminent_a deliver_v of_o his_o church_n and_o

the_o people_n choose_v a_o governor_n themselves_o but_o on_o the_o contrary_a god_n ow_v this_o way_n of_o his_o own_o prescribe_v as_o appear_v because_o as_o god_n do_v immediate_o choose_v

may_v read_v that_o god_n do_v immediate_o send_v gideon_n judg._n 6.14_o and_o the_o lord_n look_v upon_o he_o and_o say_v go_v in_o this_o thy_o might_n and_o thou_o shall_v save_v israel_n have_v

which_o and_o by_o the_o former_a governor_n mention_v before_o it_o plain_o appear_v that_o god_n do_v prescribe_v and_o own_o and_o bless_v this_o way_n it_o appear_v that_o it_o be_v god_n mind_n
