of_o the_o king_n son_n therefore_o while_o david_n pray_v pray_v you_o also_o that_o god_n will_v give_v hâs_z judgement_n to_o the_o king_n and_o his_o righteousness_n to_o the_o kingâ_n son_n i_o anâ_z where_o ever_o there_o be_v want_n for_o a_o king_n son_n to_o succâed_a and_o inherit_v his_o father_o sure_o it_o be_v a_o mark_n that_o god_n be_v somewhat_o angry_a with_o a_o people_n for_o iâ_z god_n do_v not_o sometime_o divert_v the_o judgmentâ_n and_o sometime_o lessen_v they_o when_o there_o be_v not_o a_o son_n to_o succeed_v âhat_o judgement_n uâually_o be_v a_o forerunner_n of_o sorrow_n of_o sorrow_n soâetimes_o that_o man_n can_v neither_o see_v nor_o prevent_v i_o know_v they_o may_v easy_o foresee_v that_o trouble_n may_v follow_v we_o but_o of_o what_o kind_n they_o shall_v be_v to_o what_o greatness_n they_o shall_v increase_v how_o long_o they_o shall_v continue_v what_o tremble_v they_o may_v make_v at_o the_o uâry_a foundation_n of_o a_o state_n whether_o it_o will_v please_v god_n to_o give_v âhem_fw-mi a_o issue_n or_o not_o a_o issue_n i_o suppose_v none_o can_v tell_v but_o god_n himself_o therefore_o still_o let_v the_o prayer_n be_v express_v in_o what_o person_n it_o will_v let_v it_o be_v make_v by_o the_o king_n or_o by_o the_o people_n or_o by_o both_o all_o shall_v go_v well_o so_o we_o pray_v and_o give_v thanks_o hearty_o for_o the_o king_n and_o the_o king_n son_n i_o must_v bteake_v off_o the_o rest_n thus_o you_o have_v seâne_n david_n pray_v for_o himself_o and_o his_o son_n that_o it_o be_v a_o excellent_a thing_n to_o find_v a_o king_n at_o his_o prayer_n that_o his_o prayer_n can_v better_o begin_v then_o for_o himself_o nor_o better_o proceed_v then_o for_o his_o son_n nor_o be_v pious_o make_v to_o any_o but_o

for_o that_o will_v ever_o be_v the_o settle_n of_o the_o king_n âhrone_n and_o the_o honour_n and_o safety_n of_o the_o king_n himself_o this_o day_n be_v the_o day_n of_o the_o kiâgs_n crown_v many_o year_n may_v it_o âit_v fast_o on_o his_o head_n and_o crown_v all_o his_o day_n âhorow_a with_o justice_n and_o judgement_n and_o this_o solemnity_n in_o observe_v with_o prayer_n and_o devotion_n to_o god_n the_o innitiall_a day_n of_o the_o crown_n of_o king_n be_v old_a as_o well_o as_o any_o other_o for_o târtullian_n tell_v we_o that_o it_o be_v a_o practice_n long_o before_o his_o time_n ay_o and_o even_o they_o which_o serve_v no_o true_a god_n infidel_n themselves_o be_v upon_o such_o day_n as_o this_o at_o their_o vow_n and_o prayer_n to_o such_o god_n as_o âhey_n have_v for_o the_o happiness_n and_o safety_n of_o their_o prince_n and_o i_o hope_v we_o shall_v never_o fall_v short_a of_o infidel_n in_o our_o prayer_n to_o god_n for_o the_o security_n and_o happiness_n of_o the_o king_n but_o we_o shall_v take_v up_o the_o prayer_n here_o as_o david_n begin_v it_o give_v âhy_a judgement_n to_o the_o king_n o_o god_n and_o thy_o righteousness_n to_o the_o king_n son_n and_o it_o be_v the_o best_a solemnity_n of_o this_o day_n to_o pray_v for_o the_o king_n this_o be_v the_o day_n of_o the_o king_n crown_v and_o yet_o as_o i_o have_v not_o already_o so_o neither_o shall_v i_o now_o break_v out_o into_o any_o large_a panegerick_n and_o praise_n no_o not_o of_o a_o gracious_a king_n but_o i_o come_v hethâr_v to_o preach_v a_o kind_n of_o gospel_n to_o you_o even_o glad_a tydingsâ_n that_o god_n in_o the_o mercy_n of_o christ_n who_o the_o gospel_n be_v haâh_v give_v you_o a_o wife_n and_o just_a and_o religious_a king_n a_o king_n who_o god_n have_v enable_v to_o wind_v up_o all_o his_o other_o virtue_n in_o patience_n within_o himself_o and_o clemency_n towards_o his_o people_n a_o king_n make_v by_o god_n for_o so_o i_o hope_v not_o only_o to_o bear_v âor_n that_o he_o have_v do_v enough_o already_o but_o to_o master_v the_o greaâ_z difficulty_n of_o his_o time_n at_o home_n and_o abroad_o âhat_o so_o his_o people_n may_v not_o only_o be_v but_o may_v live_v and_o flourish_v in_o peace_n and_o plenty_n this_o be_v the_o day_n of_o the_o king_n crown_v and_o though_o not_o just_a upon_o this_o day_n yet_o within_o the_o compass_n of_o this_o year_n god_n have_v crown_v he_o again_o with_o a_o son_n a_o crown_n far_o more_o precious_a than_o the_o gold_n of_o ophir_n for_o since_o child_n be_v in_o nature_n the_o crown_n of_o their_o parent_n rejoice_v what_o joy_n must_v this_o need_v be_v both_o to_o the_o king_n and_o to_o the_o people_n who_o have_v a_o interest_n though_o not_o alike_o in_o the_o king_n son_n in_o the_o king_n son_n and_o he_o a_o son_n give_v by_o god_n after_o some_o year_n expectation_n and_o he_o a_o son_n give_v after_o so_o great_a a_o loss_n of_o a_o son_n in_o the_o former_a year_n and_o he_o a_o son_n after_o so_o many_o fear_n that_o this_o blessing_n can_v not_o or_o not_o so_o soon_o come_v upon_o we_o so_o here_o be_v two_o great_a blessing_n that_o god_n have_v give_v you_o at_o once_o the_o king_n and_o the_o king_n son_n the_o tree_n and_o the_o fruit_n the_o king_n to_o be_v a_o blessing_n to_o you_o and_o the_o king_n son_n to_o be_v a_o blessing_n for_o your_o child_n after_o you_o and_o beside_o all_o other_o blessing_n that_o be_v to_o come_v here_o be_v a_o double_a blessing_n rise_v with_o this_o son_n for_o it_o dispel_v the_o mist_n of_o your_o fear_n and_o promise_v a_o influence_n to_o they_o that_o shall_v come_v after_o and_o let_v i_o put_v you_o in_o mind_n of_o it_o for_o it_o be_v most_o true_a wheâhâr_v you_o will_v believe_v it_o or_o no_o there_o be_v no_o subject_n in_o any_o state_n i_o speak_v what_o i_o know_v whatsoever_o christian_n or_o other_o that_o live_v in_o that_o plenty_n at_o that_o ease_n with_o those_o liberty_n and_o immunity_n that_o you_o do_v there_o be_v no_o nation_n under_o heaven_n so_o happy_a if_o it_o do_v but_o know_v and_o understand_v its_o own_o happiness_n to_o these_o nay_o far_o above_o all_o these_o you_o have_v religion_n as_o free_a as_o may_v be_v and_o all_o this_o you_o have_v maintain_v to_o you_o by_o the_o justice_n and_o judgement_n that_o god_n have_v give_v the_o

time_n murmur_v and_o disobedience_n possess_v any_o they_o be_v great_a sâns_n when_o âhey_n be_v at_o the_o least_o but_o they_o be_v cry_v sin_n when_o they_o fly_v out_o against_o such_o a_o king_n as_o god_n have_v fill_v with_o justice_n and_o judgement_n rather_o set_v yourselves_o to_o praise_n god_n and_o to_o bless_v his_o name_n and_o to_o give_v he_o thanks_o for_o his_o

darkness_n may_v be_v spread_v over_o this_o kingdom_n that_o no_o cloud_n arise_v from_o your_o ingratitude_n to_o god_n may_v obscure_v the_o king_n nor_o no_o eclipse_v cause_v by_o popular_a lunacle_n may_v befall_v the_o king_n son_n for_o in_o this_o the_o kng_v and_o the_o king_n son_n be_v like_o the_o sun_n in_o the_o firmament_n seldom_o or_o never_o eclipse_v but_o by_o that_o

multitude_n of_o people_n be_v the_o king_n honour_n prov._n 14._o but_o in_o the_o loyalty_n and_o love_n of_o the_o people_n be_v the_o king_n safety_n and_o in_o the_o king_n justice_n and_o judgement_n be_v the_o happiness_n of_o his_o people_n and_o the_o ready_a way_n to_o make_v a_o king_n joy_n in_o justice_n and_o judgement_n over_o his_o people_n be_v for_o people_n to_o show_v their_o love_a obedience_n to_o the_o king_n and_o since_o none_o of_o we_o can_v tell_v how_o or_o what_o to_o do_v better_a let_v we_o take_v up_o the_o prayer_n here_o where_o david_n leave_v it_o and_o proceed_v to_o pray_v as_o he_o do_v that_o as_o god_n have_v give_v we_o a_o king_n and_o to_o that_o king_n justice_n and_o judgement_n so_o he_o will_v most_o gracious_o be_v please_v to_o continue_v these_o great_a blessing_n to_o he_o âor_a we_o that_o the_o king_n may_v still_o receive_v comfort_n and_o the_o people_n from_o the_o king_n justice_n and_o judgement_n that_o these_o judgement_n may_v be_v many_o may_v be_v all_o which_o may_v any_o way_n fit_v the_o king_n or_o fill_v the_o people_n that_o these_o judgement_n may_v be_v god_n judgementâ_n that_o be_v as_o near_o the_o uprightness_n of_o god_n judgement_n as_o may_v be_v even_o such_o as_o may_v preserve_v religion_n intâre_o as_o well_o as_o equity_n and_o that_o god_n will_v gracious_o please_v not_o to_o look_v for_o pay_v from_o we_o but_o to_o give_v where_o we_o can_v merit_v that_o since_o he_o have_v not_o only_o give_v we_o the_o king_n but_o the_o king_n son_n he_o will_v at_o last_o double_v this_o blessing_n upon_o we_o and_o make_v the_o queen_n a_o fruitful_a mother_n of_o more_o happy_a child_n that_o to_o this_o royal_a prince_n he_o will_v give_v many_o happy_a day_n and_o a_o large_a portion_n of_o his_o mercy_n that_o the_o king_n and_o his_o son_n and_o the_o joyful_a mother_n that_o bear_v he_o may_v rest_v in_o the_o midst_n of_o god_n blessing_n boâh_o spiritual_a and_o temporal_a that_o we_o may_v be_v in_o the_o midst_n of_o god_n blessing_n and_o the_o king_n till_o the_o king_n son_n be_v grow_v up_o to_o continue_v these_o blessing_n to_o our_o generation_n and_o transmit_v they_o to_o they_o and_o so_o o_o lord_n give_v and_o continue_v and_o strengthen_v and_o increase_v and_o multiply_v thy_o judgement_n to_o the_o king_n and_o thy_o righteousness_n to_o the_o king_n son_n even_o so_o amen_n lord_n jesus_n and_o do_v it_o to_o who_o with_o the_o father_n and_o the_o holy_a spirit_n three_o person_n but_o one_o everliving_a god_n

no_o thou_o can_v not_o for_o no_o man_n can_v give_v himself_o that_o that_o he_o have_v not_o and_o that_o that_o he_o have_v already_o he_o need_v not_o this_o our_o prophet_n tell_v we_o plain_o for_o though_o the_o king_n love_n judgement_n yet_o it_o be_v god_n that_o prepare_v equity_n and_o righteousness_n in_o jacob_n o_o bless_a be_v all_o they_o that_o wait_v for_o he_o for_o if_o they_o wait_v he_o will_v give_v and_o that_o no_o less_o than_o judgement_n his_o judgement_n to_o the_o king_n one_o circumstance_n behind_o yet_o be_v that_o the_o word_n be_v proper_o a_o prayer_n in_o the_o most_o native_a sense_n of_o prayer_n not_o a_o thanksgiving_n only_o that_o god_n have_v give_v he_o his_o judgement_n for_o though_o god_n have_v give_v david_n his_o judgement_n and_o he_o be_v thankful_a for_o such_o a_o gift_n as_o this_o yet_o think_v here_o be_v not_o his_o proper_a work_n but_o humiliation_n and_o supplication_n and_o it_o be_v a_o excellent_a thing_n to_o see_v a_o king_n at_o his_o prayer_n for_o than_o you_o see_v two_o king_n at_o once_o a_o great_a and_o a_o lesser_a king_n god_n and_o the_o king_n and_o though_o we_o can_v see_v god_n as_o we_o see_v the_o king_n yet_o when_o we_o see_v majesty_n humble_v and_o in_o the_o posture_n of_o a_o supplicant_n we_o can_v in_o a_o sort_n but_o see_v that_o infinite_a unspeakable_a majesty_n of_o that_o god_n who_o even_o king_n adore_v and_o be_v make_v far_o great_a by_o their_o humble_a adoration_n for_o when_o i_o pray_v you_o be_v solomon_n the_o son_n of_o this_o king_n at_o his_o great_a glory_n sure_o you_o shall_v find_v he_o at_o his_o great_a then_o immediate_o upon_o the_o finish_n of_o the_o temple_n and_o how_o do_v you_o find_v solomon_n there_o just_a at_o his_o father_n work_n he_o be_v there_o at_o his_o prayer_n upon_o his_o knee_n say_v the_o text_n 1_o king_n 8._o upon_o his_o knee_n whereas_o now_o many_o mean_a unworthy_a man_n be_v loath_a to_o bow_v their_o knee_n or_o stoop_v in_o prayer_n to_o god_n now_o this_o prayer_n be_v a_o prayer_n indeed_o for_o prayer_n be_v apt_a to_o beg_v not_o to_o buy_v he_o that_o plead_v desert_n challenge_v reward_n of_o duty_n but_o he_o that_o pray_v rely_v upon_o the_o mercy_n and_o goodness_n of_o the_o giver_n and_o this_o be_v the_o way_n that_o david_n come_v to_o god_n both_o for_o himself_o and_o for_o his_o son_n and_o i_o pray_v mark_v it_o david_n here_o the_o great_a example_n of_o a_o pray_a king_n he_o say_v not_o retribua_fw-la domine_fw-la lord_n repay_v i_o for_o the_o pain_n of_o my_o government_n for_o my_o service_n of_o the_o people_n or_o for_o my_o worship_n to_o thyself_o there_o be_v none_o of_o this_o but_o da_fw-la domine_fw-la give_v lord_n that_o thou_o be_v

and_o disobedience_n be_v hard_a so_o far_o as_o to_o thou_o but_o lord_n give_v the_o king_n thy_o jâdgements_n and_o then_o i_o will_v execute_v they_o to_o thy_o honour_n and_o their_o good_a this_o be_v david_n way_n and_o it_o be_v prevalent_a and_o out_o of_o question_n be_v he_o king_n or_o subject_a he_o that_o ask_v no_o more_o at_o god_n hand_n then_o either_o of_o both_o ask_v and_o shall_v have_v too_o little_a but_o god_n give_v much_o to_o humble_a suitor_n judgement_n and_o his_o judgement_n and_o neither_o the_o prophet_n do_v ask_v nor_o god_n do_v give_v the_o

great_a need_n as_o the_o king_n for_o if_o this_o prayer_n be_v not_o make_v what_o assurance_n have_v you_o that_o god_n will_v give_v and_o if_o god_n will_v not_o give_v the_o king_n can_v have_v and_o if_o the_o king_n can_v receive_v justice_n and_o judgement_n he_o can_v distribute_v it_o to_o the_o people_n v._n 2._o and_o if_o judgement_n be_v not_o distribute_v to_o the_o people_n there_o will_v be_v no_o peace_n vers._n 3._o and_o where_o the_o people_n do_v not_o receive_v judgement_n from_o the_o king_n and_o peace_n from_o themselves_o what_o be_v they_o nothing_o but_o a_o

king_n sonneâ_n i_o have_v now_o do_v with_o the_o first_o general_a part_n of_o the_o text_n and_o it_o be_v time_n to_o descend_v from_o the_o king_n to_o his_o son_n the_o second_o part_n of_o the_o father_n prayer_n and_o thy_o righteousness_n to_o the_o king_n son_n give_v lord_n where_o first_o thougâ_z it_o be_v not_o express_v in_o the_o text_n it_o may_v easy_o be_v conceiuâd_a that_o such_o a_o king_n as_o david_n pray_v for_o a_o son_n before_o he_o pray_v for_o righteousness_n to_o be_v give_v he_o and_o though_o david_n have_v divers_a son_n before_o yet_o in_o some_o respect_n or_o other_o they_o be_v all_o to_o david_n as_o no_o son_n therefore_o there_o be_v no_o question_n to_o be_v make_v but_o he_o pray_v for_o he_o i_o and_o therefore_o too_o when_o god_n have_v give_v he_o solomon_n he_o call_v he_o not_o bare_a his_o son_n but_o his_o only_a son_n chro._n 29._o and_o no_o marvel_n since_o he_o be_v that_o son_n that_o god_n himself_o appoint_v to_o succeed_v in_o the_o kingdom_n for_o david_n 1_o chron._n 28._o and_o such_o a_o son_n be_v always_o worth_a the_o pray_n for_o well_o but_o what_o then_o when_o god_n have_v give_v david_n solomon_n when_o god_n have_v give_v any_o other_o king_n a_o son_n as_o he_o have_v give_v our_o gracious_a king_n god_n name_n be_v ever_o bless_v what_o then_o be_v the_o king_n prayer_n then_o or_o the_o

do_v that_o the_o same_o god_n that_o have_v give_v his_o judgement_n to_o the_o king_n will_v proceed_v and_o give_v his_o righteousness_n to_o the_o king_n son_n for_o it_o be_v a_o great_a blessing_n to_o the_o king_n when_o god_n give_v his_o righteousness_n to_o his_o son_n than_o when_o he_o give_v he_o a_o son_n for_o if_o solomon_n succeed_v not_o david_n in_o his_o love_n to_o the_o temple_n as_o well_o as_o the_o throne_n if_o he_o inherit_v not_o the_o truth_n of_o his_o father_n religion_n as_o well_o as_o the_o right_a of_o his_o crown_n if_o he_o follow_v not_o his_o
