never_o so_o great_a if_o david_n pray_v and_o god_n remember_v the_o king_n can_v be_v lose_v in_o any_o sorrow_n hezekiah_n find_v it_o so_o when_o he_o fast_v and_o pray_v and_o turn_v to_o the_o lord_n isa_n 37._o for_o then_o the_o host_n of_o zenacharib_n be_v present_o break_v and_o himself_o save_v so_o than_o david_n be_v at_o this_o necessary_a work_n he_o be_v at_o prayer_n ay_o but_o for_o who_o be_v it_o that_o david_n pra●es_v sure_o dieu●s_v ancient_a and_o modern_a divine_n think_v that_o in_o this_o place_n the_o king_n and_o the_o king_n son_n stand_v but_o for_o one_o person_n the_o person_n of_o solomon_n under_o two_o different_a relation_n the_o king_n and_o the_o king_n son_n and_o that_o there_o be_v a_o emphasis_n add_v by_o the_o repetition_n and_o they_o think_v too_o that_o david_n pen_v this_o psalm_n when_o he_o be_v die_v when_o he_o resign_v his_o crown_n to_o solomon_n and_o deliver_v the_o sceptre_n into_o his_o hand_n which_o the_o jesuit_n lorinus_n tell_v we_o and_o he_o be_v very_o exact_a that_o it_o be_v just_a four_o year_n sure_o i_o think_v he_o fail_v of_o his_o reckon_n before_o david_n death_n when_o he_o make_v this_o prayer_n for_o solomon_n and_o he_o avouch_v jerome_n to_o be_v his_o author_n but_o it_o be_v not_o so_o the_o jesuit_n in_o this_o as_o in_o divers_a great_a business_n be_v too_o bold_a indeed_o jerome_n say_v that_o dau●d_n live_v after_o solomon_n be_v crown_v aliquot_fw-la annus_fw-la some_o year_n but_o he_o say_v not_o just_a four_o it_o may_v be_v more_o or_o few_o i_o will_v not_o enter_v upon_o the_o question_n quando_fw-la when_o david_n make_v this_o prayer_n and_o pen_v this_o psalm_n first_o because_o the_o quando_fw-la the_o time_n here_o be_v not_o in_o the_o text_n nor_o in_o any_o part_n else_o in_o scripture_n therefore_o i_o may_v safe_o be_v ignorant_a second_o b●cause_v suppose_v this_o be_v the_o last_o psalm_n that_o ever_o david_n make_v as_o some_o collect_v out_o of_o the_o last_o verse_n yet_o that_o suppose_a will_v not_o prove_v that_o he_o make_v this_o psalm_n after_o he_o have_v crown_v solomon_n king_n for_o before_o solomon_n be_v crown_v david_n be_v little_o less_o than_o bedrid_a 1_o king_n 1._o at_o which_o time_n it_o be_v out_o of_o question_n that_o david_n pray_v therefore_o he_o do_v not_o then_o compose_v this_o psal●e_n therefore_o i_o shall_v take_v liberty_n to_o dissent_v from_o this_o opinion_n with_o all_o submission_n to_o better_a judgement_n but_o especial_o to_o the_o church_n i_o think_v it_o be_v not_o so_o near_o night_n with_o the_o prophet_n when_o he_o pen_v this_o psalm_n i_o rather_o think_v that_o david_n make_v it_o when_o himself_o be_v king_n and_o his_o purpose_n be_v firm_o set_v that_o solomon_n shall_v succeed_v he_o for_o so_o he_o have_v swear_v 1_o king_n 3._o and_o i_o think_v this_o prayer_n here_o in_o the_o beginning_n of_o the_o psalm_n be_v make_v first_o by_o david_n for_o himself_o and_o then_o for_o solomon_n after_o and_o since_o this_o opinion_n maintain_v nothing_o contrary_a to_o the_o analogy_n of_o faith_n nothing_o that_o hinder_v the_o context_n nothing_o that_o cross_v any_o determination_n of_o the_o church_n nay_o since_o there_o be_v in_o it_o more_o piety_n to_o god_n more_o duty_n to_o himself_o more_o instruction_n to_o his_o son_n and_o more_o good_a example_n to_o other_o king_n that_o the_o prayer_n begin_v at_o himself_o i_o will_v take_v the_o prayer_n as_o i_o find_v it_o in_o the_o very_a word_n of_o the_o psalm_n to_o be_v a_o prayer_n first_o for_o david_n and_o then_o for_o his_o son_n and_o so_o proceed_v well_o then_o david_n prayer_n here_o be_v first_o for_o himself_o we_o shall_v come_v to_o his_o son_n af●et_z and_o he_o be_v a_o excellent_a example_n to_o king_n in_o this_o for_o the_o first_o thing_n that_o make_v prayer_n necessary_a absolute_o necessary_a for_o a_o king_n be_v himself_o that_o a_o superior_a hand_n even_o god_n hand_n will_v set_v and_o keep_v he_o right_o who_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_o 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 pretend_v what_o he_o can_v he_o must_v be_v presume_v to_o have_v as_o little_a care_n of_o all_o godliness_n and_o honesty_n ay_o but_o though_o the_o king_n ought_v to_o have_v the_o prayer_n of_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 their_o king_n and_o that_o take_v not_o off_o the_o king_n to_o pray_v for_o himself_o so_o on_o the_o contrary_a side_n the_o king_n religious_a care_n in_o pray_v for_o himself_o be_v so_o far_o from_o lessen_v that_o it_o augment_v the_o obligation_n of_o the_o people_n to_o pray_v for_o the_o king_n and_o when_o both_o pray_v the_o king_n for_o himself_o and_o the_o people_n for_o the_o king_n god_n will_v not_o refuse_v their_o prayer_n and_o the_o prayer_n grant_v though_o it_o fall_v first_o upon_o the_o head_n of_o the_o king_n as_o good_a reason_n it_o shall_v yet_o it_o become_v as_o aaron_n oil_n psal._n 133._o for_o it_o run_v to_o the_o skirt_n of_o all_o his_o people_n so_o that_o they_o have_v the_o benefit_n both_o of_o their_o own_o and_o of_o his_o prayer_n i_o will_v never_o misdoubt_v the_o piety_n of_o this_o nation_n in_o the_o perform_v this_o duty_n of_o which_o both_o here_o and_o in_o all_o place_n they_o be_v meet_v this_o day_n to_o make_v public_a proof_n for_o the_o person_n that_o keep_v close_o to_o this_o duty_n among_o many_o other_o he_o shall_v be_v sure_a of_o this_o one_o great_a blessing_n he_o can_v fall_v into_o the_o opposite_a sin_n of_o murmur_v against_o the_o king_n david_n the_o king_n in_o the_o text_n he_o have_v faithful_a and_o religious_a people_n yet_o there_o be_v a_o shemei_n among_o they_o that_o instead_o of_o pray_v for_o the_o king_n curse_a and_o revile_v he_o 2_o sam._n 16._o david_n be_v very_o patient_a but_o i_o pray_v remember_v what_o solomon_n the_o king_n son_n do_v to_o shimei_n 2_o king_n 2._o remember_v that_o and_o if_o the_o memory_n of_o his_o punishment_n will_v affright_v other_o man_n from_o run_v into_o this_o blasphemous_a iniquity_n all_o will_v soon_o be_v well_o we_o be_v to_o consider_v in_o the_o next_o place_n to_o who_o it_o be_v here_o that_o the_o prophet_n pray_v and_o that_o be_v express_v a_o deo_fw-la give_v the_o king_n thy_o judgement_n o_o god_n do_v thou_o
