fortune_n upon_o the_o ruin_n of_o other_o man_n shall_v either_o have_v the_o same_o credit_n while_o he_o live_v which_o he_o have_v that_o deal_v fair_o and_o honest_o with_o all_o the_o world_n

to_o be_v as_o nauseous_a and_o offensive_a to_o the_o judgement_n of_o other_o as_o the_o most_o loathsome_a and_o unsavoury_a thing_n be_v to_o their_o taste_n and_o smell_n on_o the_o contrary_a the_o wise_a man_n speak_v of_o religion_n say_v it_o shall_v be_v a_o ornament_n of_o grace_n to_o thy_o head_n and_o as_o a_o chain_n about_o thy_o neck_n exalt_v she_o and_o she_o shall_v promote_v

be_v great_a reason_n to_o rejoice_v when_o righteous_a man_n be_v in_o authority_n because_o as_o god_n be_v on_o their_o side_n so_o the_o whole_a kingdom_n feel_v the_o bless_a effect_n of_o it_o first_o god_n be_v on_o their_o side_n and_o take_v the_o part_n of_o such_o as_o be_v righteous_a governor_n and_o therefore_o the_o people_n have_v great_a reason_n to_o rejoice_v under_o such_o a_o government_n nothing_o do_v more_o endear_a man_n to_o god_n and_o render_v they_o gracious_a and_o acceptable_a in_o his_o sight_n than_o a_o holy_a and_o virtuous_a conversation_n now_o it_o be_v natural_a to_o take_v care_n of_o and_o preserve_v such_o thing_n as_o be_v of_o the_o high_a value_n and_o estimation_n and_o by_o consequence_n good_a ruler_n be_v god_n more_o special_a favourite_n hence_o have_v he_o a_o more_o peculiar_a regard_n for_o they_o esteem_v they_o as_o the_o very_a apple_n of_o his_o eye_n and_o profess_v it_o as_o possible_a for_o the_o son_n of_o violence_n to_o come_v near_o and_o touch_v that_o as_o to_o do_v they_o any_o injury_n by_o their_o malicious_a machination_n nay_o still_o further_o as_o god_n claim_v a_o peculiar_a propriety_n in_o they_o so_o he_o set_v the_o high_a mark_n and_o signature_n of_o his_o favour_n and_o affection_n upon_o they_o for_o they_o shall_v be_v i_o say_v the_o lord_n of_o host_n in_o that_o day_n when_o i_o make_v up_o my_o jewel_n and_o i_o will_v spare_v they_o as_o a_o man_n spare_v his_o own_o son_n that_o serve_v he_o 1●_n when_o the_o wicked_a shall_v arise_v up_o in_o tumult_n against_o they_o when_o they_o encompass_v they_o like_o bee_n flame_a with_o rage_n and_o fury_n as_o if_o they_o will_v present_o consume_v they_o than_o say_v god_n my_o hand_n shall_v hold_v they_o fast_o and_o my_o arm_n shall_v strengthen_v they_o the_o enemy_n shall_v not_o be_v able_a to_o do_v they_o violence_n the_o son_n of_o wickedness_n shall_v not_o hurt_v they_o i_o shall_v smite_v down_o their_o foe_n before_o their_o face_n and_o plague_v they_o that_o hate_v they_o nay_o he_o will_v certain_o defend_v they_o under_o his_o wing_n his_o faithfulness_n and_o truth_n shall_v be_v their_o shield_n and_o buckler_n and_o what_o shall_v be_v the_o reason_n of_o all_o this_o kind_a care_n and_o regard_v of_o this_o favourable_a patronage_n and_o protection_n which_o god_n afford_v they_o but_o because_o those_o person_n endeavour_v to_o imitate_v god_n in_o those_o his_o excellent_a perfection_n of_o justice_n and_o truth_n god_n as_o he_o be_v the_o sovereign_n of_o the_o universe_n and_o the_o great_a governor_n of_o the_o world_n perform_v his_o promise_n and_o impartial_o distribute_v his_o justice_n to_o mankind_n and_o those_o who_o be_v his_o vicegerent_n and_o delegate_n here_o on_o earth_n can_v more_o ingratiate_v themselves_o in_o his_o favour_n then_o when_o judgement_n run_v down_o like_o water_n and_o righteousness_n like_o a_o mighty_a stream_n for_o to_o do_v justice_n and_o judgement_n be_v more_o acceptable_a to_o the_o lord_n than_o any_o sacrifice_n 3._o second_o as_o god_n do_v constant_o patronize_v all_o such_o righteous_a officer_n so_o the_o whole_a kingdom_n feel_v the_o bless_a effect_n of_o it_o and_o this_o be_v a_o further_a reason_n for_o the_o people_n joy_n and_o exultation_n now_o we_o can_v better_o know_v the_o welcome_a fruit_n of_o a_o righteous_a government_n then_o by_o the_o joyful_a experience_n of_o it_o for_o from_o hence_o it_o be_v that_o true_a religion_n be_v encourage_v and_o keep_v up_o maugre_o all_o
