and_o something_o a_o mender_n of_o it_o though_o indeed_o once_o he_o be_v affright_v with_o a_o great_a army_n yet_o say_v the_o scripture_n the_o realm_n of_o jehoshaphat_n be_v quiet_a and_o god_n give_v he_o and_o his_o people_n rest_n in_o his_o reign_n 2_o chro._n 20._o but_o then_o here_o be_v usual_o the_o non_fw-la ultra_fw-la of_o hope_n of_o happiness_n when_o the_o people_n heart_n move_v not_o in_o the_o same_o orb_n after_o the_o prince_n in_o reform_v the_o scripture_n be_v clear_a in_o precedent_n for_o it_o that_o when_o in_o time_n of_o reformation_n the_o people_n spirit_n be_v not_o prepare_v for_o purity_n in_o divine_a worship_n as_o the_o governor_n be_v thus_o the_o case_n be_v with_o jehoshaphats_n people_n the_o heart_n of_o the_o people_n be_v not_o prepare_v to_o the_o take_v away_o of_o the_o high-place_n 2_o chro._n 20._o 33._o then_o the_o land_n have_v be_v secure_v and_o happy_a but_o that_o age_n for_o we_o find_v that_o when_o jehoshaphat_n sleep_v with_o his_o father_n even_o that_o good_a prince_n who_o people_n heart_n be_v not_o prepare_v as_o his_o for_o perfect_a reformation_n the_o next_o king_n be_v a_o king_n

the_o kingdom_n then_o that_o be_v so_o secure_a and_o quiet_a whilst_o jehoshaphat_n live_v why_o we_o find_v there_o that_o first_o the_o edomite_n they_o revolt_v from_o the_o dominion_n of_o judah_n and_o set_v up_o a_o king_n of_o their_o own_o and_o libna_n also_o revolt_v from_o the_o government_n of_o judah_n and_o the_o reason_n of_o this_o change_n in_o the_o state_n be_v give_v in_o the_o ten_o verse_n of_o the_o chapter_n because_o jehoram_n have_v forsake_v the_o lord_n god_n of_o his_o father_n jehoshaphat_n and_o asa_n both_o reformer_n of_o church_n and_o state_n it_o be_v true_a we_o find_v in_o scripture_n that_o asa_n reformation_n continue_v not_o only_o he_o but_o his_o successor_n time_n but_o than_o we_o find_v with_o all_o in_o scripture_n that_o there_o be_v no_o such_o thing_n lay_v to_o the_o people_n charge_n as_o not_o be_v prepare_v for_o his_o reformation_n and_o this_o i_o conceive_v to_o be_v a_o reason_n of_o the_o succession_n of_o queen_n elizabeth_n reformation_n through_o king_n james_n his_o reign_n and_o our_o gracious_a king_n charles_n namely_o beside_o the_o integrity_n of_o their_o royal_a spirit_n the_o heart_n of_o the_o people_n be_v prepare_v for_o that_o reformation_n of_o religion_n which_o appear_v to_o be_v so_o in_o this_o that_o no_o baalam_n though_o there_o have_v be_v many_o can_v yet_o curse_v england_n

of_o it_o beside_o this_o it_o be_v more_o than_o probable_a that_o corruption_n creep_v into_o judah_n even_o in_o hezekiah_n day_n because_o we_o find_v there_o be_v such_o a_o corrupt_a minister_n of_o state_n nigh_o to_o the_o king_n and_o in_o the_o king_n house_n shebna_n by_o name_n both_o treasurer_n and_o also_o over_o the_o king_n house_n isa._n 22._o 15._o a_o man_n of_o a_o mighty_a

18._o verse_n etc._n etc._n to_o put_v on_o the_o use_n again_o in_o conclusion_n of_o these_o premise_n we_o see_v and_o can_v see_v that_o beside_o the_o stir_n up_o of_o the_o spirit_n of_o jehoshaphat_n or_o hezekiah_n or_o josiah_n or_o zerubbabel_n or_o nehemiah_n or_o cirus_n i_o say_v beside_o the_o stir_n up_o of_o the_o spirit_n of_o ruler_n to_o reform_v there_o be_v these_o two_o thing_n to_o be_v look_v unto_o if_o any_o continue_a comfort_n be_v expect_v in_o reformation_n first_o that_o the_o heart_n of_o the_o people_n be_v prepare_v for_o reformation_n second_o that_o the_o heart_n of_o the_o people_n be_v settle_v when_o they_o be_v prepare_v first_o that_o the_o heart_n of_o the_o people_n be_v prepare_v for_o reformation_n that_o be_v that_o their_o opinion_n and_o affection_n may_v be_v quite_o take_v off_o of_o all_o wry_a way_n in_o god_n worship_n and_o bias_v with_o right_a rule_n and_o principle_n in_o religion_n and_o hence_o we_o see_v the_o necessity_n of_o the_o minister_n industry_n as_o well_o as_o the_o magistrate_n in_o reform_v time_n for_o though_o it_o be_v the_o power_n of_o the_o sword_n which_o must_v conform_v the_o outside_n yet_o it_o be_v the_o power_n of_o the_o word_n which_o must_v reform_v the_o inside_n of_o the_o people_n though_o the_o magistrate_n must_v cast_v all_o external_a performance_n yet_o the_o ministry_n proper_o cast_v the_o heart_n and_o inclination_n into_o a_o reform_a temper_n and_o therefore_o brethren_n now_o king_n note_n and_o minister_n of_o state_n be_v discharge_v their_o part_n in_o command_v if_o minister_n of_o the_o church_n do_v not_o discharge_v they_o in_o inform_v and_o exhort_v sure_o as_o it_o be_v say_v of_o the_o priest_n to_o their_o disparagement_n in_o hezekiah_n reformation_n 2_o chro._n 29._o the_o levite_n be_v more_o upright_o in_o heart_n to_o sanctify_v themselves_o than_o the_o priest_n so_o will_v it_o doubtless_o be_v charge_v on_o the_o ministry_n in_o we_o that_o the_o magistrate_n be_v more_o upright_o in_o heart_n to_o perform_v their_o part_n in_o reformation_n than_o the_o minister_n they_o we_o see_v also_o what_o here_o be_v for_o private_a man_n to_o work_v upon_o in_o their_o prayer_n viz._n the_o heart_n of_o the_o people_n of_o the_o land_n as_o well_o as_o the_o heart_n of_o the_o prince_n of_o the_o land_n in_o
