A60930	A candle lighted at a coal from the altar whereby the King and rulers of this nation with the people of this present age may see the stone on which many have stumbled, and the rock which hath broken to pieces unfaithful men once in authority, who instead of protecting, did persecute the people of God, when they had the high places of the earth in possession, and that these present rulers may take warning betimes, least they stumble at the same rock, and while they have opportunity they may rather become as nursing-fathers to the flock of God within these dominions, by giving due encouragement to tender consciences, and men fearing God as in matters of religion / and this is directed unto you by a subject of the King of Righteousness, Tho. Salthouse.	Salthouse, Thomas, 1630-1691.	1660 (1660)	Wing S471; ESTC R13989	18,411	26

may_v not_o be_v a_o famine_n of_o hear_v the_o word_n in_o this_o nation_n and_o forasmuch_o as_o the_o lord_n have_v speak_v we_o can_v but_o prophesy_v &_o declare_v of_o the_o thing_n which_o we_o have_v see_v and_o hear_v and_o that_o which_o we_o have_v taste_v and_o handle_v of_o the_o word_n of_o life_n that_o people_n may_v be_v turn_v from_o the_o darkness_n to_o the_o light_n and_o from_o the_o power_n of_o satan_n unto_o god_n and_o it_o be_v the_o command_n of_o christ_n unto_o his_o minister_n that_o as_o they_o have_v free_o receive_v they_o must_v free_o give_v that_o the_o gospel_n may_v be_v make_v without_o charge_n and_o it_o must_v be_v free_o preach_v not_o for_o filthy_a lucre_n sake_n but_o of_o a_o ready_a mind_n and_o a_o necessity_n have_v lay_v upon_o the_o

to_o give_v warning_n to_o magistrate_n and_o man_n in_o authority_n both_o in_o word_n and_o writing_n by_o way_n of_o admonition_n exortation_n wholesome_a advice_n and_o counsel_n that_o in_o the_o

other_o once_o in_o authority_n and_o the_o servant_n of_o the_o lord_n cruel_o persecute_v by_o who_o it_o be_v direct_v to_o they_o therefore_o have_v the_o lord_n reject_v they_o from_o bear_v the_o sword_n of_o justice_n and_o now_o you_o be_v set_v as_o at_o the_o stern_n of_o government_n and_o this_o be_v your_o day_n of_o trial_n and_o the_o lord_n god_n will_v prove_v you_o &_o try_v

you_o expect_v subjection_n to_o your_o power_n you_o must_v rule_v for_o god_n in_o love_n and_o fear_n and_o humility_n and_o not_o as_o lord_n over_o god_n heritage_n and_o then_o you_o will_v
