be_v king_n over_o israel_n and_o after_o he_o david_n and_o his_o posterity_n successive_o so_o that_o these_o power_n be_v immediate_o of_o god_n and_o ordain_v of_o he_o immediate_o in_o every_o

man_n with_o wisdom_n and_o prudence_n to_o provide_v for_o his_o peace_n and_o welfare_n by_o make_v choice_n of_o such_o government_n and_o such_o governor_n to_o rule_v over_o they_o as_o will_v be_v most_o conducible_a thereunto_o and_o second_o because_o what_o man_n do_v in_o this_o kind_n they_o do_v not_o without_o the_o providence_n of_o god_n who_o work_v all_o thing_n according_a to_o the_o pleasure_n of_o his_o own_o will_n though_o by_o mediate_a way_n and_o several_a mean_n and_o who_o be_v king_n over_o all_o the_o earth_n and_o therefore_o have_v a_o more_o special_a
