for_o the_o sentence_n or_o execution_n according_o but_o here_o rufinus_n and_o austin_n and_o other_o divine_n tell_v i_o that_o judgement_n and_o righteousness_n in_o this_o place_n stand_v for_o that_o justice_n and_o judgement_n that_o the_o king_n be_v indifferent_o &_o equal_o to_o administer_v to_o his_o people_n and_o so_o for_o one_o virtue_n here_o be_v the_o virtue_n and_o the_o

virtue_n for_o himself_o and_o another_o for_o his_o son_n but_o for_o one_o and_o the_o same_o virtue_n for_o both_o for_o the_o son_n have_v as_o much_o need_n for_o this_o virtue_n as_o the_o father_n the_o one_o be_v a_o king_n and_o the_o other_o to_o be_v one_o they_o both_o need_v this_o great_a comprise_v kingly_a virtue_n without_o which_o there_o can_v be_v no_o religious_a peaceable_a government_n over_o a_o people_n so_o justice_n and_o judgement_n in_o this_o place_n as_o usual_o when_o they_o attend_v the_o king_n contain_v the_o virtue_n itself_o and_o the_o power_n that_o bring_v this_o virtue_n to_o act_v the_o execution_n be_v as_o justice_n and_o the_o power_n to_o give_v sentence_n moderation_n and_o equity_n to_o smooth_a over_o the_o rigour_n of_o justice_n and_o all_o other_o virtue_n as_o far_o as_o they_o serve_v to_o strengthen_v or_o direct_v and_o keep_v even_o the_o hand_n of_o justice_n prudence_n especial_o then_o it_o be_v a_o wondrous_a necessary_a prayer_n here_o for_o if_o justice_n shall_v not_o be_v in_o the_o king_n will_v which_o god_n forbid_v it_o must_v needs_o grow_v apt_a to_o turn_v to_o sourness_n and_o if_o judgement_n and_o execution_n follow_v not_o upon_o the_o sentence_n of_o justice_n the_o king_n hand_n must_v needs_o shake_v into_o remissness_n and_o one_o of_o these_o sourness_n will_v make_v judgement_n itself_o or_o the_o pretext_n of_o it_o a_o scourage_n for_o the_o people_n and_o the_o other_o remissness_n will_v make_v the_o people_n a_o worse_a scourge_n to_o themselves_o for_o want_v of_o discipline_n to_o keep_v they_o in_o order_n for_o of_o all_o scourge_n there_o be_v none_o answerable_a to_o the_o unrulinesse_n of_o the_o people_n now_o this_o virtue_n as_o large_a as_o it_o be_v when_o it_o fill_v the_o heart_n of_o the_o king_n it_o be_v call_v another_o heart_n it_o put_v on_o other_o dismension_n for_o it_o furnish_v the_o king_n breast_n with_o all_o rectitude_n and_o prudence_n and_o rectitude_n be_v the_o be_v and_o prudence_n the_o moderation_n and_o guide_v of_o all_o justice_n for_o so_o without_o respect_n of_o person_n it_o belong_v to_o the_o wise_a and_o prudent_a prov._n 25._o nay_o further_o though_o this_o vertne_n be_v so_o large_a yet_o the_o heart_n of_o the_o king_n be_v so_o capacious_a that_o justice_n and_o judgement_n can_v fill_v it_o if_o it_o stand_v single_a therefore_o david_n pray_v not_o for_o judgement_n single_a but_o in_o the_o plural_a number_n give_v thy_o judgement_n and_o there_o be_v great_a reason_n that_o he_o shall_v pray_v so_o for_o justice_n continue_v one_o and_o the_o same_o virtue_n give_v many_o time_n different_a judgement_n and_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v so_o and_o the_o king_n must_v needs_o be_v a_o instrument_n in_o they_o all_o and_o in_o the_o various_a occasion_n that_o himself_o and_o his_o people_n have_v use_v of_o this_o david_n find_v in_o his_o own_o heart_n therefore_o he_o pray_v for_o all_o and_o this_o pray_v we_o always_o for_o the_o king_n for_o all_o judgement_n for_o the_o king_n so_o give_v lord_n and_o here_o it_o be_v fit_a for_o you_o a_o little_a to_o take_v a_o view_n of_o your_o own_o happiness_n and_o to_o bless_v god_n for_o it_o for_o you_o live_v under_o a_o king_n that_o keep_v his_o law_n in_o his_o life_n a_o king_n that_o live_v so_o as_o if_o he_o be_v a_o law_n himself_o and_o so_o need_v none_o a_o king_n that_o plant_v his_o judge_n so_o as_o they_o may_v equal_o distribute_v his_o judgement_n and_o justice_n to_o his_o people_n a_o king_n so_o bless_v by_o god_n for_o your_o good_a that_o whether_o it_o be_v for_o his_o own_o prayer_n or_o you_o or_o both_o or_o neither_o but_o that_o god_n be_v please_v to_o show_v his_o mercy_n and_o glory_n upon_o he_o to_o you_o certain_a it_o be_v that_o god_n have_v give_v he_o a_o very_a large_a heart_n and_o fill_v it_o to_o the_o brim_n with_o justice_n and_o judgement_n take_v heed_n i_o hearty_o beg_v it_o of_o you_o i_o say_v it_o again_o take_v heed_n i_o hearty_o beg_v it_o of_o you_o that_o no_o sin_n of_o unthankfulness_n no_o base_a detract_n murmur_a sin_n possess_v your_o soul_n or_o whet_v your_o tongue_n or_o sour_a your_o breast_n against_o the_o lord_n and_o against_o his_o anoint_v but_o remember_v in_o that_o these_o two_o thing_n first_o remember_v that_o it_o be_v as_o easy_a for_o god_n to_o take_v away_o any_o blessing_n even_o the_o great_a blessing_n of_o a_o good_a king_n as_o to_o give_v it_o remember_v that_o and_o second_o remember_v that_o unthankfulness_n to_o god_n for_o so_o gracious_a a_o king_n be_v the_o very_a ready_a way_n to_o do_v it_o remember_v that_o too_o &_o therefore_o look_v to_o these_o thing_n in_o time_n ay_o but_o what_o then_o have_v a_o king_n enough_o when_o god_n have_v give_v he_o justice_n and_o judgement_n may_v his_o prayer_n then_o cease_v for_o himself_o as_o your_o prayer_n for_o he_o have_v he_o no_o more_o need_n of_o god_n when_o god_n have_v once_o give_v he_o judgement_n o_o god_n forbid_v sure_o he_o have_v and_o it_o be_v to_o be_v presume_v that_o the_o king_n daily_o pray_v i_o be_o sure_a his_o duty_n it_o be_v to_o pray_v that_o god_n will_v ever_o please_v to_o continue_v and_o increase_v the_o righteousness_n and_o judgement_n he_o have_v give_v to_o he_o nor_o can_v i_o think_v but_o that_o david_n be_v very_o oft_o at_o this_o prayer_n too_o for_o he_o say_v psal_n 99_o the_o king_n power_n love_v judgement_n and_o it_o be_v more_o than_o probable_a that_o that_o he_o love_v he_o will_v pray_v for_o he_o pray_v to_o have_v it_o and_o to_o increase_v it_o and_o he_o that_o pray_v so_o oft_o psal_n 119._o i_o say_v so_o oft_o that_o god_n will_v keep_v he_o in_o the_o way_n of_o his_o commandment_n and_o cause_v he_o to_o make_v much_o of_o his_o law_n he_o must_v of_o necessity_n be_v presume_v to_o pray_v for_o justice_n and_o judgement_n which_o be_v the_o vigour_n of_o all_o law_n divine_a and_o humane_a and_o king_n have_v great_a need_n oft_o to_o pray_v for_o this_o grace_n and_o for_o the_o continuance_n and_o increase_v of_o it_o too_o for_o king_n stand_v high_a that_o be_v true_a but_o the_o high_a they_o stand_v the_o more_o they_o be_v expose_v to_o tempest_n &_o wind-shaking_n that_o pass_v lover_n the_o low_a

and_o superstructure_n so_o it_o be_v with_o king_n too_o that_o be_v to_o manage_v and_o dispose_v they_o for_o if_o any_o king_n think_v himself_o sufficient_a by_o his_o own_o virtue_n against_o

that_o he_o &_o all_o his_o virtue_n can_v long_o keep_v up_o no_o not_o a_o settle_a king_n therefore_o david_n be_v wise_a as_o well_o as_o religious_a that_o he_o go_v to_o god_n for_o his_o

so_o many_o inferior_a hand_n labour_v to_o set_v awry_o ay_o but_o what_o need_v the_o king_n to_o pray_v for_o himself_o he_o want_v no_o prayer_n who_o all_o the_o people_n pray_v for_o indeed_o it_o be_v true_a the_o people_n be_v bind_v to_o pray_v for_o their_o king_n 1_o tim._n 2._o and_o i_o make_v no_o doubt_n but_o that_o the_o people_n perform_v this_o duty_n as_o they_o be_v bind_v since_o it_o be_v a_o tribute_n which_o by_o the_o law_n of_o god_n they_o ought_v to_o pay_v and_o david_n so_o great_a and_o so_o good_a a_o king_n have_v out_o of_o question_n the_o prayer_n of_o all_o his_o people_n both_o for_o himself_o and_o his_o son_n yet_o for_o all_o that_o you_o shall_v find_v david_n at_o his_o prayer_n for_o himself_o too_o and_o certain_o there_o be_v great_a reason_n for_o it_o for_o of_o all_o act_n of_o charity_n this_o of_o prayer_n be_v apt_a to_o begin_v at_o home_n it_o be_v true_a indeed_o the_o king_n ought_v to_o have_v the_o prayer_n of_o his_o people_n and_o that_o man_n can_v deserve_v so_o much_o as_o the_o name_n of_o a_o christian_a that_o pray_v not_o hearty_o for_o the_o king_n because_o that_o be_v not_o the_o king_n good_a only_a but_o the_o people_n way_n to_o lead_v a_o life_n in_o godliness_n and_o honesty_n 1_o tim._n 5._o therefore_o that_o man_n that_o make_v no_o conscience_n of_o pray_v for_o the_o king_n let_v he_o

his_o people_n yet_o in_o the_o performance_n of_o their_o duty_n i_o read_v not_o of_o any_o dispensation_n the_o king_n have_v to_o neglect_v his_o own_o not_o to_o pray_v for_o himself_o if_o he_o be_v a_o king_n like_o david_n he_o must_v be_v a_o king_n at_o his_o prayer_n too_o especial_o in_o those_o great_a thing_n that_o concern_v the_o king_n that_o concern_v the_o kingdom_n that_o concern_v his_o son_n and_o his_o succession_n to_o his_o kingdom_n there_o he_o of_o necessity_n must_v pray_v for_o himself_o he_o may_v joy_v in_o his_o people_n prayer_n there_o but_o he_o must_v pray_v for_o himself_o too_o and_o god_n be_v ever_o bless_v for_o it_o you_o have_v a_o king_n that_o be_v daily_o at_o his_o prayer_n both_o for_o himself_o and_o for_o you_o yet_o here_o i_o pray_v take_v this_o along_o with_o you_o that_o as_o it_o be_v the_o people_n duty_n to_o pray_v for_o the_o king_n and_o that_o take_v not_o off_o their_o king_n to_o pray_v for_o himself_o so_o on_o the_o
