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.

god_n choose_v a_o governor_n and_o the_o people_n choose_v a_o governor_n therefore_o he_o choose_v a_o governor_n by_o lot_n wherein_o and_o whereby_o god_n choose_v therefore_o god_n direction_n

joshua_n to_o inquire_v his_o will_n in_o such_o a_o way_n as_o god_n have_v prescribe_v this_o show_v that_o in_o difficult_a case_n god_n ordain_v that_o people_n shall_v inquire_v his_o mind_n by_o lot_n and_o this_o samuel_n know_v and_o therefore_o he_o enquire_v god_n mind_n by_o lot_n in_o this_o very_a case_n of_o government_n this_o be_v never_o repeal_v to_o this_o day_n for_o god_n be_v not_o yea_o and_o nay_o god_n be_v not_o contrary_a or_o opposite_a to_o his_o own_o rule_n this_o be_v certain_a it_o be_v better_a and_o safe_a for_o people_n to_o be_v direct_v by_o god_n to_o choose_v the_o man_n yea_o although_o god_n for_o our_o sin_n shall_v be_v angry_a with_o we_o yet_o even_o in_o those_o cause_n it_o be_v better_a to_o fall_v into_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n then_o into_o the_o hand_n of_o man_n and_o this_o david_n well_o consider_v when_o he_o choose_v to_o fall_v into_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n and_o not_o into_o the_o hand_n of_o man_n but_o further_o we_o may_v observe_v that_o this_o be_v the_o usual_a way_n namely_o by_o lot_n that_o the_o people_n take_v to_o inquire_v god_n mind_n in_o weighty_a and_o difficult_a cause_n as_o appear_v josh_n 18.6_o i_o will_v cast_v lot_n for_o you_o here_o before_o the_o lord_n thus_o verse_n 8_o 10._o read_v 1_o sam._n 14.42_o and_o saul_n say_v cast_v lot_n between_o i_o and_o jonathan_n my_o son_n and_o jonathan_n be_v take_v here_o we_o may_v see_v that_o god_n appear_v and_o give_v a_o true_a determination_n and_o this_o be_v a_o way_n to_o avoid_v strife_n read_v 1_o chro._n 26.13_o and_o they_o cast_v lot_n both_o small_a and_o great_a for_o the_o house_n of_o their_o father_n here_o again_o we_o may_v note_v that_o this_o use_n of_o lot_n be_v to_o show_v what_o god_n mind_n be_v and_o to_o prevent_v all_o jealousy_n or_o indirect_a mean_n and_o to_o prevent_v strife_n read_v nehem._n 10.34_o we_o cast_v lot_n for_o the_o offering_n of_o the_o wood_n even_o the_o priest_n the_o levite_n and_o the_o people_n read_v jonah_n 1.7_o and_o they_o say_v every_o one_o to_o his_o fellow_n come_v and_o let_v we_o cast_v lot_n that_o we_o may_v know_v for_o who_o cause_n this_o evil_n be_v upon_o we_o so_o they_o cast_v lot_n and_o the_o lot_n fall_v upon_o jonah_n by_o this_o it_o evident_o appear_v that_o the_o people_n in_o weighty_a case_n do_v inquire_v to_o know_v god_n mind_n this_o way_n namely_o by_o lot_n second_o we_o may_v observe_v that_o god_n do_v answer_v the_o people_n this_o way_n three_o we_o may_v observe_v that_o the_o lot_n do_v not_o err_v nor_o fail_v to_o show_v that_o which_o the_o people_n seek_v to_o god_n for_o read_v act._n 1.24_o and_o they_o pray_v say_v thou_o lord_n which_o know_v the_o heart_n of_o all_o man_n show_v whether_o of_o these_o thou_o have_v choose_v verse_n 26._o and_o they_o give_v forth_o their_o lot_n and_o the_o lot_n fall_v on_o mathias_n this_o show_v that_o lot_n be_v not_o abolish_v but_o they_o be_v now_o of_o the_o same_o use_n that_o they_o be_v under_o the_o law_n this_o be_v a_o example_n of_o the_o apostle_n man_n in_o a_o extraordinary_a measure_n guide_v by_o the_o good_a and_o holy_a spirit_n of_o god_n and_o this_o be_v write_v no_o doubt_n for_o our_o learning_n this_o be_v and_o be_v a_o clear_a and_o evident_a direction_n in_o the_o very_a case_n of_o governor_n for_o the_o apostle_n be_v god_n ambassador_n his_o own_o witness_n they_o be_v the_o penman_n of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n this_o matter_n be_v a_o eminent_a and_o a_o weighty_a matter_n they_o choose_v but_o one_o of_o two_o the_o reason_n be_v evident_a because_o the_o nature_n of_o their_o cause_n require_v no_o more_o first_o because_o not_o any_o among_o all_o although_o holy_a will_v serve_v they_o must_v be_v man_n that_o have_v be_v the_o most_o note_a to_o be_v eye-witness_n of_o what_o christ_n have_v do_v and_o suffer_v and_o so_o that_o they_o have_v see_v and_o hear_v those_o thing_n themselves_o second_o the_o apostle_n be_v present_a that_o have_v a_o infallible_a spirit_n three_o this_o cause_n differ_v from_o the_o governor_n of_o a_o commonwealth_n because_o god_n in_o his_o wisdom_n order_v the_o governor_n of_o a_o commonwealth_n to_o be_v choose_v by_o god_n out_o of_o all_o the_o people_n and_o i_o do_v conceive_v with_o due_a and_o humble_a respect_n to_o those_o that_o shall_v see_v god_n mind_n more_o clear_o that_o it_o be_v the_o safe_a way_n to_o follow_v the_o most_o direct_a and_o evident_a rule_n prescribe_v own_a and_o bless_v by_o god_n in_o the_o same_o case_n now_o it_o evident_o appear_v that_o the_o prophet_n samuel_n direct_v immediate_o by_o god_n himself_o do_v choose_v out_o of_o the_o whole_a twelve_o tribe_n of_o israel_n by_o that_o mean_v god_n do_v full_o choose_v according_a to_o deut._n 17._o to_o make_v he_o governor_n who_o the_o lord_n do_v choose_v immediate_o in_o this_o very_a case_n of_o choose_v the_o governor_n of_o a_o commonwealth_n for_o in_o this_o case_n this_o precedent_n by_o samuel_n be_v a_o certain_a and_o a_o approve_a precedent_n in_o choose_v the_o person_n that_o god_n see_v meet_v to_o be_v chief_a governor_n this_o be_v not_o about_o the_o form_n of_o government_n whether_o it_o shall_v be_v by_o judge_n or_o by_o king_n for_o of_o that_o matter_n god_n show_v his_o mind_n by_o samuel_n before_o express_o witness_v against_o the_o form_n of_o government_n by_o king_n but_o this_o be_v a_o rule_n to_o show_v how_o god_n be_v say_v to_o choose_v the_o person_n that_o he_o see_v meet_v to_o govern_v i_o leave_v it_o to_o the_o consideration_n of_o the_o godly_a from_o these_o place_n before_o mention_v first_o i_o observe_v that_o it_o plain_o and_o clear_o appear_v that_o lot_n be_v ordain_v by_o god_n and_o that_o god_n own_v they_o because_o god_n true_o appear_v and_o true_o give_v answer_v by_o they_o and_o because_o that_o god_n bless_v this_o way_n of_o his_o own_o devise_v second_o i_o observe_v that_o the_o lot_n when_o man_n cast_v themselves_o or_o refer_v themselves_o whole_o to_o or_o upon_o god_n in_o such_o case_n do_v never_o err_v it_o always_o give_v a_o true_a direction_n a_o true_a determination_n in_o all_o weighty_a cause_n search_v the_o scripture_n and_o it_o can_v be_v find_v that_o the_o lot_n ever_o err_v let_v not_o as_o fear_v therefore_o to_o choose_v our_o
