that_o may_v concern_v his_o present_a and_o eternal_a good_a and_o welfare_n that_o so_o he_o may_v become_v a_o king_n of_o prayer_n and_o a_o king_n of_o praise_n it_o be_v a_o heedful_a exhortation_n of_o the_o apostle_n in_o his_o first_o epistle_n to_o timothy_n where_o he_o say_v i_o exhort_v that_o first_o of_o all_o supplication_n prayer_n intercession_n be_v make_v for_o all_o

present_v unto_o our_o bless_a saviour_n the_o sight_n of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o the_o world_n and_o the_o glory_n of_o they_o the_o kingdom_n and_o their_o glory_n and_o we_o may_v confess_v that_o there_o be_v no_o such_o beauty_n splendour_n bravery_n riches_n pleasure_n majesty_n to_o be_v find_v in_o the_o world_n as_o in_o the_o court_n of_o prince_n who_o be_v god_n deputy_n here_o on_o earth_n there_o be_v soft_a raiment_n there_o be_v sumptuous_a feast_n rich_a jewel_n glorious_a triumph_n royal_a state_n there_o be_v honourable_a attendance_n and_o what_o not_o and_o all_o these_o not_o doubt_n satan_n present_v on_o their_o fair_a side_n to_o their_o best_a advantage_n but_o he_o do_v not_o tell_v he_o how_o many_o care_n and_o anxiety_n attend_v greatness_n he_o do_v not_o acquaint_v he_o with_o the_o abundant_a trouble_n the_o great_a disquiet_n and_o marvellous_a perplexity_n which_o usual_o attend_v early_a crown_n all_o these_o satan_n hide_v out_o of_o the_o way_n nothing_o may_v be_v see_v but_o what_o may_v both_o please_v and_o allure_v but_o most_o certain_a it_o be_v that_o the_o crown_n of_o gold_n which_o adorn_v the_o head_n of_o king_n though_o they_o shine_v and_o glister_n yet_o all_o be_v not_o gold_n in_o they_o because_o they_o be_v inlaid_n with_o brier_n and_o thorn_n high_a seat_n be_v always_o uneasy_a and_o there_o be_v no_o good_a prince_n who_o desire_v to_o manage_v his_o sceptre_n well_o if_o he_o view_v it_o round_o on_o all_o side_n but_o shall_v find_v that_o there_o be_v a_o gread_a deal_n more_o attend_v earthly_a diadem_n beside_o pomp_n and_o glory_n and_o for_o this_o reason_n first_o prayer_n must_v be_v make_v for_o king_n that_o desire_v to_o rule_v well_o because_o their_o trouble_n care_n and_o fear_n be_v great_a than_o other_o man_n second_o their_o temptation_n be_v likewise_o great_a than_o those_o of_o private_a person_n and_o therefore_o they_o stand_v more_o in_o need_n of_o joint_n public_a and_o private_a prayer_n and_o last_o they_o must_v in_o a_o special_a manner_n be_v pray_v for_o by_o their_o people_n upon_o the_o account_n of_o good_a which_o may_v be_v receive_v under_o they_o that_o they_o may_v lead_v a_o quiet_a and_o peaceable_a life_n in_o all_o godliness_n and_o honesty_n i_o have_v do_v with_o my_o short_a narrative_n concern_v the_o most_o eminent_a king_n which_o may_v have_v be_v abundant_o more_o enlarge_v by_o a_o better_a pen_n though_o i_o conceive_v there_o be_v no_o great_a need_n of_o it_o in_o regard_n that_o god_n who_o have_v so_o turn_v the_o heart_n of_o the_o people_n in_o general_n towards_o his_o majesty_n will_v doubtless_o and_o that_o speedy_o turn_v the_o face_n of_o the_o king_n towards_o his_o people_n in_o bring_v he_o home_o unto_o they_o and_o then_o he_o will_v be_v his_o own_o and_o therefore_o much_o better_a epistle_n when_o a_o very_a great_a number_n of_o the_o people_n in_o these_o nation_n man_n of_o even_a

unfit_o be_v resemble_v by_o that_o figure_n of_o the_o man_n in_o our_o almanac_n who_o seem_v to_o be_v wound_v in_o every_o part_n from_o the_o sole_a of_o the_o foot_n to_o the_o crown_n of_o
