A76788	Endevors aiming at the glory of God, that peace & truth may meet together: wherein is contained the excellency, benefit, and necessity of good government and governors: a loving reply to Mr William Prynnes speech made to the House of Commons, and afterwards published. Some matters are propounded to the consideration of the ministry; and also to particular (and to all) opinions. The first, purest, best and most blessed form and manner of government, prescribed by God, (and recorded in Gods sacred word;) together with the way of entrance, or Gods calling of persons to places of chief government, the great consequence thereof. Wherein is shewed, that government by succession, from the father to the son, was none of Gods institution, in the first and purest times. And also the government by Judges is plainly proved to be the best form of government, being Gods immediate direction, most blessed and approved for Gods glory, and for a peoples greatest good, comfort, and safety. / By John Blackleach.

king_n for_o the_o lord_n say_v if_o thou_o shall_v say_v i_o will_v set_v a_o king_n over_o i_o this_o come_v to_o pass_v in_o the_o day_n of_o samuel_n then_o the_o people_n they_o will_v have_v a_o king_n the_o people_n here_o do_v not_o inquire_v of_o god_n first_o now_o it_o do_v not_o follow_v that_o because_o the_o people_n say_v we_o will_v have_v a_o king_n that_o therefore_o god_n do_v either_o approve_v or_o allow_v of_o this_o matter_n but_o the_o direct_a contrary_n appear_v 1_o sam._n 8._o in_o most_o eminent_a manner_n but_o second_o i_o do_v observe_v that_o god_n say_v thou_o shall_v if_o thou_o will_v be_v wilful_a and_o have_v a_o king_n yet_o thou_o shall_v make_v he_o king_n who_o the_o lord_n thy_o god_n shall_v choose_v here_o i_o put_v a_o real_a difference_n between_o a_o king_n or_o governor_n be_v choose_v by_o god_n immediate_o and_o between_o the_o choice_n that_o the_o people_n make_v i_o purpose_v if_o god_n will_v to_o speak_v more_o of_o this_o in_o place_n afterward_o but_o this_o rule_n also_o the_o people_n soon_o forsake_v namely_o they_o make_v themselves_o king_n of_o their_o own_o choose_n wherein_o i_o conceive_v they_o do_v not_o inquire_v of_o god_n who_o shall_v be_v the_o man_n therefore_o the_o lord_n say_v they_o have_v prince_n and_o he_o know_v it_o not_o that_o be_v to_o say_v they_o do_v not_o according_a to_o the_o rule_n inquire_v of_o god_n who_o shall_v be_v king_n thus_o much_o to_o show_v that_o it_o be_v better_a with_o the_o people_n when_o they_o eye_v god_n and_o keep_v close_o to_o the_o rule_n when_o god_n choose_v the_o person_n than_o it_o be_v when_o they_o fall_v more_o foul_o as_o afterward_o they_o do_v but_o this_o still_o do_v not_o prove_v that_o god_n do_v institute_v that_o form_n of_o government_n by_o king_n or_o much_o less_o that_o this_o form_n of_o government_n be_v as_o good_a and_o as_o well_o approve_v of_o by_o god_n or_o so_o bless_v as_o the_o government_n by_o judge_n but_o to_o go_v on_o to_o speak_v more_o punctual_o or_o more_o particular_o to_o the_o be_v of_o king_n i_o shall_v endeavour_v according_a to_o the_o measure_n of_o grace_n receive_v to_o speak_v of_o they_o in_o true_a proportion_n as_o god_n have_v speak_v of_o they_o in_o the_o holy_a and_o sacred_a scripture_n the_o first_o king_n that_o i_o find_v record_v be_v abimeleck_n judge_n 9_o it_o be_v note_v that_o this_o man_n be_v no_o lawful_a governor_n appoint_v by_o god_n but_o one_o that_o usurp_v the_o kingdom_n because_o he_o enter_v not_o by_o and_o according_a to_o the_o true_a way_n wherein_o and_o whereby_o god_n have_v prescribe_v which_o i_o believe_v be_v principal_o in_o regard_n that_o the_o people_n do_v not_o inquire_v of_o god_n who_o shall_v govern_v they_o but_o contrary_o the_o people_n choose_v he_o out_o of_o or_o for_o sinister_a respect_n because_o of_o affinity_n kindred_n and_o also_o because_o he_o enter_v by_o force_n we_o may_v see_v what_o be_v record_v judge_n 9_o by_o this_o man_n government_n there_o be_v very_o sad_a event_n or_o fruit_n that_o follow_v or_o spring_v for_o he_o be_v the_o occasion_n of_o much_o evil_a and_o bloodshed_n this_o serve_v to_o warn_v we_o to_o take_v heed_n that_o we_o inquire_v of_o god_n who_o shall_v govern_v we_o and_o that_o we_o do_v follow_v the_o most_o clear_a and_o evident_a rule_n and_o precedent_n prescribe_v and_o record_v in_o the_o sacred_a scripture_n the_o sure_a rule_n of_o truth_n our_o saviour_n teach_v that_o the_o true_a shepherd_n enter_v at_o the_o true_a door_n that_o be_v according_a to_o the_o reveal_v will_n of_o god_n and_o on_o the_o contrary_a those_o wolf_n and_o fox_n do_v enter_v in_o at_o the_o window_n that_o be_v as_o i_o conceive_v by_o some_o way_n that_o god_n have_v not_o prescribe_v as_o by_o friend_n out_o of_o by_o respect_n or_o by_o fraud_n force_n money_n beauty_n personage_n eloquence_n or_o such_o like_a all_o of_o they_o not_o in_o

the_o people_n say_v make_v we_o a_o king_n to_o judge_v we_o like_o all_o nation_n from_o this_o place_n i_o observe_v that_o it_o be_v not_o the_o people_n demand_n to_o have_v this_o or_o that_o man_n in_o particular_a to_o be_v their_o king_n but_o they_o desire_v only_o to_o have_v a_o king_n by_o which_o it_o appear_v that_o this_o sin_n lay_v not_o in_o regard_n of_o the_o person_n but_o it_o be_v in_o respect_n to_o the_o form_n of_o government_n before_o they_o be_v govern_v by_o judge_n which_o form_n of_o government_n god_n do_v immediate_o prescribe_v and_o own_v it_o and_o
