praise_n praise_n be_v the_o result_n of_o like_n and_o approbation_n without_o which_o honour_n be_v no_o better_a than_o mockery_n but_o in_o this_o place_n the_o holy_a psalmist_n do_v not_o speak_v of_o that_o praise_n and_o honour_n which_o be_v universal_o due_a to_o all_o prince_n but_o of_o that_o extraordinary_a praise_n which_o his_o successor_n king_n solomon_n and_o all_o such_o prince_n as_o he_o may_v just_o claim_v so_o here_o we_o be_v to_o consider_v the_o character_n of_o a_o prince_n who_o be_v praiseworthy_a and_o here_o i_o have_v a_o fair_a opportunity_n of_o enter_v into_o a_o panegyric_n upon_o that_o glorious_a prince_n who_o praise_n we_o come_v hither_o to_o celebrate_v as_o well_o as_o to_o offer_v up_o our_o prayer_n for_o he_o but_o i_o will_v willing_o avoid_v all_o invidiousness_n as_o well_o of_o the_o malevolent_a for_o my_o ambition_n as_o of_o the_o censorious_a for_o my_o presumption_n and_o yet_o i_o fear_v neither_o but_o because_o it_o be_v so_o co-incident_a with_o my_o text_n and_o most_o appropriate_a to_o the_o undoubted_a sense_n of_o it_o i_o shall_v give_v you_o a_o short_a character_n of_o that_o prince_n for_o who_o it_o be_v first_o make_v that_o not_o only_o we_o but_o all_o prince_n of_o those_o excellency_n may_v come_v in_o for_o their_o due_n first_o he_o be_v a_o prince_n of_o the_o most_o celebrate_a wisdom_n and_o understanding_n in_o the_o world_n this_o be_v his_o natural_a talon_n which_o because_o he_o have_v so_o well_o improve_v god_n almighty_a at_o his_o request_n add_v to_o it_o he_o be_v mature_a for_o government_n and_o well_o qualify_v for_o empire_n so_o that_o god_n send_v he_o to_o the_o people_n with_o a_o blessing_n in_o his_o hand_n it_o be_v the_o king_n wisdom_n that_o
