to_o subsist_v without_o magistracy_n and_o who_o do_v not_o see_v how_o many_o way_n a_o good_a king_n be_v necessary_a and_o useful_a to_o a_o people_n when_o king_n and_o ruler_n be_v take_v away_o

our_o translation_n and_o the_o word_n we_o use_v god_n save_o the_o king_n express_v this_o most_o full_o wherein_o the_o lesson_n be_v clear_a that_o as_o it_o be_v our_o duty_n to_o praise_n god_n

the_o heart_n of_o king_n prov._n 21.1_o the_o king_n heart_n be_v in_o the_o band_n of_o the_o lord_n as_o the_o river_n of_o water_n as_o the_o husbandman_n cut_v out_o a_o channel_n for_o the_o

counsel_n of_o king_n he_o turn_v they_o to_o water_n and_o refresh_v his_o people_n as_o the_o heart_n of_o pharaoh_n to_o joseph_n of_o darius_n to_o daniel_n of_o cyrus_n to_o the_o jew_n sometime_o he_o bear_v they_o off_o when_o they_o will_v run_v impetuous_o to_o do_v hurt_v as_o he_o do_v with_o divers_a of_o the_o roman_a emperor_n and_o with_o charles_n the_o five_o to_o the_o

any_o band_n upon_o they_o at_o all_o 2._o because_o as_o god_n have_v a_o special_a work_n upon_o the_o heart_n of_o king_n so_o his_o work_n on_o they_o be_v of_o special_a concernment_n to_o the_o church_n how_o the_o heart_n of_o a_o king_n be_v incline_v be_v of_o all_o earthly_a concernment_n most_o considerable_a for_o it_o be_v like_o the_o palm_n of_o the_o horologe_n to_o tell_v the_o time_n how_o god_n heart_n be_v incline_v towards_o a_o people_n when_o the_o lord_n be_v angry_a with_o a_o people_n he_o say_v he_o will_v make_v such_o as_o hate_v he_o reign_n over_o they_o and_o when_o he_o be_v pacify_v he_o give_v they_o king_n according_a to_o his_o own_o heart_n so_o that_o the_o inclination_n of_o a_o king_n heart_n be_v the_o sign_n of_o god_n favour_n or_o

fierce_a king_n again_o when_o god_n be_v pacify_v he_o set_v a_o josiah_n over_o they_o who_o though_o he_o be_v mis-educated_n under_o amon_n yet_o have_v he_o a_o tender_a heart_n towards_o the_o people_n 3._o because_o king_n have_v above_o all_o other_o a_o difficult_a task_n and_o most_o weighty_a charge_n great_a dominion_n carry_v with_o it_o always_o a_o great_a care_n which_o do_v many_o time_n make_v sleep_n depart_v from_o their_o eye_n esth_n 6.1_o the_o apostle_n paul_n say_v of_o himself_o 2_o cor._n 11.28_o that_o beside_o his_o trouble_n without_o the_o care_n of_o all_o the_o church_n lay_v upon_o he_o so_o prince_n have_v the_o care_n of_o all_o their_o subject_n lie_v upon_o they_o beside_o the_o many_o danger_n they_o be_v oftentimes_o encompass_v with_o above_o other_o the_o enemy_n of_o the_o public_a peace_n be_v like_o the_o king_n of_o syria_n who_o command_v his_o captain_n to_o fight_v neither_o against_o small_a nor_o great_a save_v against_o the_o
