a_o wise_a and_o just_a king_n by_o his_o sunlike_a inspection_n scatter_v by_o his_o justice_n the_o ungodly_a and_o worker_n of_o iniquity_n second_o as_o the_o sun_n in_o his_o course_n not_o

give_v all_o power_n all_o judgement_n for_o when_o he_o shall_v come_v to_o judge_v all_o the_o earth_n at_o the_o great_a day_n of_o account_n he_o shall_v have_v no_o need_n of_o prison_n or_o

remind_v you_o that_o magistracy_n and_o especial_o monarchy_n be_v god_n ordinance_n second_o we_o shall_v show_v you_o that_o as_o the_o king_n throne_n be_v god_n so_o god_n have_v constitute_v

three_o that_o none_o may_v flatter_v themselves_o who_o make_v no_o conscience_n to_o disoby_a the_o lawful_a command_n of_o a_o lawful_a authority_n because_o of_o their_o present_a impunity_n we_o shall_v remind_v such_o that_o although_o they_o may_v for_o the_o present_a escape_n the_o temporal_a sword_n by_o their_o politic_a contrivance_n yet_o the_o judge_n of_o all_o the_o earth_n shall_v meet_v with_o they_o for_o as_o there_o be_v a_o reward_n for_o the_o righteous_a so_o doubtless_o there_o be_v a_o god_n that_o judge_v the_o earth_n first_o then_o as_o the_o word_n king_n denote_v power_n we_o shall_v remind_v you_o that_o majesty_n and_o especial_o monarchy_n be_v god_n ordinance_n a_o king_n that_o sit_v in_o the_o throne_n of_o judgement_n in_o the_o eight_o chapter_n of_o
