more_o obstinate_a tear_n the_o heathen_a be_v so_o sensible_a of_o this_o trouble_v that_o to_o relieve_v themselves_o they_o run_v headlong_o into_o idolatry_n and_o change_v their_o allegiance_n into_o adoration_n nor_o will_v they_o be_v persuade_v that_o the_o best_a of_o their_o king_n do_v die_v like_o one_o of_o the_o common_a people_n but_o that_o death_n make_v they_o invisible_a and_o divine_a neither_o will_v they_o be_v comfort_v otherwise_o than_o by_o this_o persuasion_n that_o they_o still_o remain_v under_o the_o government_n and_o protection_n of_o their_o beloved_a prince_n thus_o assyria_n egypt_n and_o almost_o all_o the_o nation_n of_o the_o earth_n be_v first_o distract_v into_o superstition_n and_o the_o people_n of_o rome_n will_v not_o be_v satisfy_v for_o the_o loss_n of_o their_o first_o king_n before_o the_o senate_n have_v decree_v worship_n for_o he_o they_o be_v suspect_v to_o have_v destroy_v nay_o sometime_o this_o trouble_n grow_v too_o strong_a for_o all_o the_o amusement_n of_o superstition_n and_o osiris_n notwithstanding_o the_o opinion_n of_o his_o divinity_n be_v remember_v with_o perpetual_a lamentation_n but_o be_v this_o the_o extravagance_n and_o madness_n of_o heathen_a zeal_n even_o the_o people_n of_o god_n himself_o be_v not_o above_o the_o reach_n of_o this_o trouble_n and_o though_o they_o be_v teach_v that_o the_o same_o providence_n do_v always_o watch_v over_o they_o under_o all_o the_o difference_n of_o government_n yet_o they_o can_v not_o sustain_v the_o loss_n of_o a_o good_a prince_n without_o some_o jealousy_n that_o god_n be_v go_v to_o desert_n they_o at_o leastwise_o not_o without_o singular_a trouble_n and_o affliction_n when_o moses_n the_o great_a prince_n of_o israel_n who_o mighty_a

order_n to_o go_v to_o the_o place_n where_o he_o must_v die_v with_o how_o sad_a a_o countenance_n with_o what_o discontent_a murmur_a be_v he_o answer_v he_o find_v their_o affection_n now_o more_o

dominion_n yet_o when_o he_o come_v to_o die_v such_o be_v the_o people_n resentment_n of_o that_o loss_n that_o god_n seem_v to_o grow_v jealous_a and_o to_o mistrust_v their_o affection_n towards_o himself_o and_o therefore_o think_v fit_a to_o conceal_v he_o by_o a_o private_a interment_n at_o some_o distance_n from_o the_o camp_n on_o a_o high_a hill_n from_o whence_o be_v the_o fair_a
