and_o for_o all_o that_o be_v in_o authority_n now_o there_o be_v room_n for_o the_o question_n what_o it_o be_v we_o be_v to_o pray_v for_o in_o behalf_n of_o these_o and_o some_o will_v have_v it_o mean_v by_o the_o apostle_n that_o we_o shall_v pray_v for_o those_o in_o the_o follow_a form_n of_o word_n viz._n that_o we_o may_v live_v under_o they_o a_o quiet_a and_o peaceable_a life_n in_o all_o godliness_n and_o honesty_n but_o this_o interpretation_n as_o it_o be_v want_v in_o respect_n to_o the_o govern_v power_n so_o it_o be_v in_o itself_o a_o formal_a absurdity_n for_o that_o to_o pray_v on_o this_o manner_n will_v be_v to_o pray_v not_o at_o all_o for_o they_o but_o pure_o for_o ourselves_o the_o whole_a prospect_n of_o the_o word_n extend_v no_o far_a than_o our_o own_o advantage_n i_o know_v it_o be_v lawful_a to_o pray_v that_o we_o may_v so_o live_v under_o the_o govern_n power_n but_o the_o question_n be_v whether_o such_o a_o prayer_n be_v a_o discharge_n of_o that_o duty_n towards_o they_o which_o the_o apostle_n be_v here_o insist_v upon_o it_o be_v lawful_a for_o i_o to_o pray_v that_o any_o private_a man_n may_v do_v i_o a_o good_a office_n but_o will_v any_o interpret_v that_o such_o a_o prayer_n be_v a_o prayer_n for_o that_o man_n or_o do_v discharge_v any_o part_n of_o my_o duty_n of_o charity_n towards_o he_o and_o if_o such_o a_o prayer_n can_v not_o acquit_v i_o of_o my_o duty_n towards_o a_o private_a man_n much_o less_o can_v it_o acquit_v i_o towards_o those_o that_o be_v in_o authority_n who_o care_n and_o character_n extend_v our_o duty_n to_o large_a measure_n we_o may_v conclude_v therefore_o that_o this_o form_n of_o word_n be_v not_o at_o all_o intend_a for_o the_o matter_n but_o only_o for_o the_o motive_n of_o our_o prayer_n to_o determine_v then_o what_o we_o be_v able_a to_o pray_v for_o in_o the_o behalf_n of_o king_n and_o all_o that_o be_v in_o authority_n this_o may_v be_v the_o rule_n viz._n we_o be_v to_o pray_v for_o they_o in_o their_o personal_a capacity_n with_o the_o same_o prospect_n of_o charity_n that_o we_o do_v for_o other_o man_n but_o in_o their_o relative_n capacity_n i.e._n as_o they_o be_v king_n and_o magistrate_n we_o be_v to_o pray_v for_o all_o such_o blessing_n upon_o they_o as_o be_v suitable_a to_o their_o relation_n all_o which_o in_o short_a may_v be_v include_v in_o this_o that_o god_n will_v dispose_v they_o to_o and_o furnish_v they_o for_o and_o prosper_v they_o in_o a_o due_a discharge_n of_o their_o respective_a office_n now_o this_o as_o it_o will_v be_v the_o great_a blessing_n to_o themselves_o so_o the_o text_n tell_v we_o that_o it_o will_v be_v consequential_o the_o great_a blessing_n to_o we_o for_o this_o will_v be_v the_o fruit_n and_o effect_n of_o such_o a_o administration_n that_o we_o shall_v be_v able_a to_o live_v under_o it_o a_o quiet_a and_o peaceable_a life_n in_o all_o godliness_n and_o honesty_n from_o the_o word_n therefore_o i_o shall_v draw_v these_o two_o head_n of_o consideration_n i._o the_o magistrate_n influence_n upon_o the_o public_a welfare_n and_o ii_o the_o proper_a matter_n of_o the_o magistrate_n charge_v as_o for_o the_o magistrate_n influence_n upon_o the_o public_a welfare_n it_o appear_v evident_o from_o the_o hypothesis_n of_o the_o text_n which_o be_v this_o that_o if_o magistrate_n rule_v well_o peace_n godliness_n and_o honesty_n will_v be_v the_o natural_a fruit_n of_o their_o administration_n and_o as_o for_o the_o proper_a matter_n of_o the_o magistrate_n charge_v it_o appear_v as_o evident_o from_o the_o same_o for_o since_o god_n have_v make_v magistrate_n a_o competent_a mean_n to_o procure_v such_o great_a blessing_n to_o humane_a society_n who_o can_v doubt_v but_o that_o it_o be_v the_o proper_a business_n of_o magistrate_n to_o intend_v and_o take_v care_n of_o the_o same_o blessing_n that_o they_o be_v design_v to_o procure_v i_o begin_v with_o the_o first_o consideration_n the_o magistrate_n influence_n upon_o the_o public_a welfare_n it_o be_v the_o know_a method_n of_o god_n to_o draw_v good_a out_o of_o evil_a and_o according_o we_o may_v observe_v that_o there_o be_v three_o remarkable_o good_a consequence_n which_o follow_v upon_o sin_n for_o it_o bring_v forth_o sorrow_n it_o occasion_v a_o redeemer_n and_o it_o make_v government_n
