When the frogs came up and covered the land of Aegypt then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron and said Intreat the Lord that he may take away the Frogs from me and from my people and I will let the people go that they may do sacrifice to the Lord. And Moses said to Pharaoh Glory over me against when shall I intreat for thée and for thy Servants and for thy People to destroy the frogs from thee and thy houses that they may remain in the river only And he said to morrow And Moses said be it according to thy word that thou mayst know that there is none like unto the Lord our God and the frogs shall depart from thee and from thy houses and from thy servants and from thy people they shall remain in the River only And Moses and Aaron went out from Pharaoh And Moses cryed unto the Lord because of the frogs which he had brought against Pharaoh And the Lord did according to the word of Moses and the frogs dyed out of the Houses out of the Villages and out of the Field v. 29 30 31. Moses intreated the Lord that the swarms of frogs he sent might depart from Pharaoh from his Servants and from his Pople And the Lord did according to the word of Moses and he removed the frogs at Pharaohs request there remained not one After this Moses intreated the Lord to remove the mighty Thunder and Hail he had sent spreadiug abroad his hands unto the Lord in prayer for that end and they ceased Exod. 9. 28 29 33. The like he did at his Intreaty to remove the plague of Locusts Exod. 10. 7 18 19. From these Presidents and practice of Moses I shall deduce these genuine seasonable Observations 1. That Moses being born in Egypt and bred ●…p in Pharaohs Court was rather a Native subject to King Pharaoh than a mere Sojourner and Foreiner as Abraham and Jacob were to Abimelech and Pharaoh though he had been absent thence about forty years it thence follows from the premises That Subjects as well as Sojourners are bound by duty and allegeance to pray for their Kings and people 2ly Moses was enforced to fly out of Egypt to save his life because Pharaoh sought to 〈◊〉 him for killing an Egyptian who smote and oppr●… an Hebrew one of his Brethren and this Pharaoh to whom God sent him and for whom he thus prayed four times after each other was not only a Pagan-Idolater but in all probability the Kings Son or Grand-son who sought to slay him Aegypt being an her●…ditary Kingdom as Isay 19. 11. and all Historians record Yea both these Pharaohs with two or more of their Ancestors and their Officers did extraordinarily oppress the Israelites ca●…sing all their Male-children they could meet with to be drowned in the River but such as the Midwives preserved against their commands afflicting them by their Task-masters heavy burdens rigor●…us service and hard bondage which made their lives bitter and caused them to sigh groan and cry unto the Lord by reason of the bondage who thereupon heard their cry and saw their oppression and remembred his Covenant made with Abraham Isaac and Jacob to rescue them from their Thraldom yet notwithstanding Moses prayed four times to remove the Plagues God had inflicted on Pharaoh his Servants and people and no waies endeavoured to deprive or disinherit them either of their Lives Crowns or Succession though a chosen Servant Man and Saint of God commissioned and sent by God himself to deliver the Israelites from their bondage under Pharaoh and bring them out of Egypt Whence I shall irrefragably infer That the eminentest chosen Saints Men and Servants of God yea all other loyal Subjects ought chearfully to obey and pray for not only their Pagan Idolatrous but persecuting and oppressing Kings and their royal Posterity and though they may use all lawfull means to deliver themselves and fellow-subjects from their unjust tyranny bondage oppressions yet they neither lawfully can nor ought forcibly to dethrone disinherit them or their Posterities of their Crowns nor rebel against or deprive them of their lives by tumultuous Insurrections Assassinations and High Courts of Justice 3ly That Godly persecuted oppressed Subjects may and ought to pray for the removal of those Judgements which God himself inflicts upon their oppressive persecuting Kings their Servants People successively one after another for those persecutions tyrannies oppressions under which they groan and cry of purpose to bring them to repentance and deliver them from their bondage pressures vexations under them as Moses did in this case of Pharaoh his Officers and the Egyptians for the removal of 4 grievous Plagues inflicted upon them one

most zealous fervent pathetical Thanksgiving and Prayer to God for the accomplishmeut of this promise in establishing and blessing his House for ever Which being afterwards put in writing and particularly recorded in sacred Story no doubt was constantly used both in private and publick by himself and all his loyal devout Subjects whether Priests Levites or people all his Reign and registred as a sacred President for all hereditary pious Kings and Subjects future imitation 2ly Davids publick Prayers Psalms and Thanksgivings to God for himself as King and for his Royal Son and his Posterity that should succeed him in the Throne recorded in sacred writ prescribed to the Church and people of God during his Reign and succeeding Ages and constantly used by them and all Churches of God to this very day at the inauguration of their Kings and upon other royal Solemnities Victories Triumphs and Installments or mariages of their Sons and heirs to the Crown I shall instance only in Psal 18. I will love thee O Lord my strength c. Therefore will I give thanks unto thee O Lord among the heathen and sing praises unto thy name Great deliverance giveth he to his King and sheweth mercy to his anointed to David and to his séed for evermore Psal. 21. The King shall joy in thy strength O Lord and in thy Salvatian how greatly shall he rejoyce For thou hast given him his hearts desire thou hast not withholden the request of his lips for thou preventest him with the blessings of goodness thou settest a Crown of pure gold on his head He asked life of thee and thou gavest it him even length of dayes for ever and ever his glory is great in thy salvation glory and majesty hast thou laid upon him for thou hast made him most blessed for ever c. Which Psalm though it be mystically applied to Christ the King of his Church and Saints by many yet doubtless it was literally meant of King David himself who compiled it Psal. 45. My heart is indicting a good matter I will speak of the things which I have made touching the King literally intended of Solomon but mystically of Christ his kingdom and Church Psal. 61. Hear my cry O God attend unto my Prayer c. Thou wilt prolong the Kings life and his years as many generations He shall abide before God for ever O prepare mercy and truth which may preserve him Psal. 72. 1 2 c. Give the King thy Judgements O God and thy Righteousness unto the Kings Son Then shall he judge thy people with righteousness and thy poor with judgement c. He shall save the souls of the needy He shall redeem their Soul from deceit and violence and precious shall their bloud be in his sight He shall live and unto him shall be given of the Gold of Sheba Praye●… also shall be made for him continually and daily shall he be praised Which Psalm though mystically meant of Jesus Christ the Son of David as all accord yet it was first literally made used in and by the Church and people of God and prescribed to them as a publike Prayer for King David and his Son Solomon who was to succeed him in the throne as most accord and the Contents in our Bibles resolve Or for King Solomon whom some make the penman thereof and his Son Rehoboam However it is a direct form and divine precept for the people of God in all hereditary kingdoms to make continual daily publike and private Prayers intercessions supplications and thanksgivings unto God for their hereditary kings their heirs apparent and successors to the crown and royal posterity according to the 1 Tim. 2. 1 2. grounded on this Psalm I shall conclude with Psal. 89. and Psal. 132. of like nature with the former wherein not only the Psalmist but the Churches Congregations of the Saints in that and succeeding ages do sing of the mercies of the Lord and make known his faithfulness to all generations for making this Covenant with David and his seed I have made a Covenant with my chosen I have sworn unto David my servant Thy séed will I establish for ever and build up thy throne to all generations c. My mercy will I keep for him for evermore and my Covenant shall stand fast with him His séed also will I make to endure for ever and his Throne as the dayes of Heaven If his children forsake my Laws and walk not in my judgements if they break my statutes and keep not my commandements then will I visit their transgressions with the rod and their sin with scourges Nevertheless my loving kindness will I not utterly take from him nor suffer my faithfulness to fail My Covenant will I not break nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips Once have I sworn by my holiness that I will not lie unto David his séed shall endure for ever and his Throne as the Sun before me It shall be established for ever as the Moon and as the faithfull witnesse in Heaven Selah 〈◊〉 thy children will keep my covenant and my testimonies that I shall teach them their children also shall sit upon t●…e Throne for evermore For the Lord hath chosen Zion he hath desired it for his habitation This is my rest for ever there will I dwell for I have desired it c. There will I make the horn of David to bud I have ordained a lamp for mine anointed His Enemies will I cloath with shame but upon himself shall his crown flourish From all these Psalms which you may read at large these irrefragable Conclusions may be clearly deduced 1. That it was the constant practise duty not only of King David himself but of the Church and people of God under him and his royal posteritie to make incessant prayers supplications intercessions and thanksgivings to God both publikely and privately for him his royal house and posterity 2ly That they did in their publike and private devotions prayers psalms and thanksgivings take special notice and make particular mention of Gods promise to King David his House and Royal seed that they should inherit the Throne and kingdom over his people by succession for ever and rejoyce therein yea pray for its accomplishment and Gods grace and blessing on his House seed as their own and the Churches greatest blessing happinesse and fafety 3ly That as the sins of Davids royal seed and progeny did not cause God himself the king of kings who conferred the kingdom and throne upon them to break his Oath and Covenant with them nor to deprive them of their kingly Government Throne or totally to withdraw his loving kindness and mercy towards them but only to chastize them with his rod and scourge them for their amendment So it did neither withdraw the allegeance loyaltie dutie prayers supplications intercessions or thanksgivings of the Church and their pious subjects from them but rather intend and augment them as is evident by
