have_v as_o much_o need_n of_o this_o virtue_n as_o the_o father_n the_o one_o be_v a_o king_n and_o the_o other_o to_o be_v one_o they_o both_o need_v this_o great_a comprise_v kingly_a virtue_n without_o which_o there_o can_v be_v no_o religious_a peaceable_a government_n over_o a_o people_n so_o justice_n and_o judgement_n in_o this_o place_n as_o usual_o when_o they_o attend_v the_o king_n

here_o it_o be_v fit_a for_o you_o a_o little_a to_o take_v a_o view_n of_o your_o own_o happiness_n and_o to_o bless_v god_n for_o it_o for_o you_o live_v under_o a_o king_n that_o keep_v his_o law_n

but_o that_o god_n be_v please_v to_o show_v his_o mercy_n and_o glory_n upon_o he_o to_o you_o certain_a it_o be_v that_o god_n have_v give_v he_o a_o very_o large_a heat_n and_o fill_v it_o to_o the_o brim_n with_o justice_n and_o judgement_n take_v heed_n i_o hearty_o beg_v it_o of_o you_o i_o say_v it_o again_o take_v heed_n i_o hearty_o beg_v it_o of_o you_o that_o no_o sin_n of_o

remember_v in_o that_o these_o two_o thing_n first_o remember_v that_o it_o be_v as_o easy_a for_o god_n to_o take_v away_o any_o blessing_n even_o the_o great_a blessing_n of_o a_o good_a king_n as_o to_o give_v it_o remember_v that_o and_o second_o remember_v that_o unthankfulness_n to_o god_n for_o so_o gracious_a a_o king_n be_v the_o very_a ready_a way_n to_o do_v it_o remember_v that_o too_o and_o therefore_o look_v to_o these_o thing_n in_o time_n ay_o but_o what_o then_o have_v a_o king_n enough_o when_o god_n have_v give_v he_o justice_n and_o judgement_n may_v his_o prayer_n then_o

be_v to_o be_v presume_v
way_n to_o all_o kingly_a wisdom_n therefore_o david_n prayer_n go_v up_o first_o for_o justice_n because_o without_o that_o there_o be_v no_o wisdom_n there_o may_v be_v wiliness_n if_o you_o will_v to_o resemble_v wisdom_n but_o there_o be_v never_o any_o wise_a king_n that_o be_v not_o just_a and_o that_o policy_n will_v be_v find_v weak_a in_o the_o end_n that_o persuade_v any_o king_n against_o justice_n and_o judgement_n and_o as_o before_o it_o be_v not_o judgement_n alone_o that_o david_n desire_v for_o himself_o but_o it_o must_v be_v tuam_fw-la thy_o judgement_n so_o righteousness_n alone_o do_v not_o content_v he_o for_o his_o son_n but_o it_o must_v be_v tuam_fw-la too_o thy_o righteousness_n and_o indeed_o moral_a justice_n alone_o can_v possible_o be_v enough_o for_o a_o christian_a king_n religious_a and_o pious_a justice_n must_v come_v in_o too_o he_o must_v take_v care_n for_o the_o soul_n as_o well_o as_o for_o the_o body_n and_o good_n of_o his_o people_n therefore_o one_o of_o the_o church_n prayer_n be_v that_o the_o king_n may_v study_v to_o preserve_v the_o people_n not_o in_o wealth_n only_o and_o in_o peace_n but_o in_o godliness_n too_o he_o must_v so_o give_v the_o people_n their_o own_o that_o be_v justice_n as_o that_o he_o command_v the_o people_n to_o give_v god_n his_o own_o that_o be_v justice_n with_o religion_n and_o there_o be_v no_o king_n nor_o no_o king_n son_n can_v possible_o do_v this_o unless_o god_n give_v they_o the_o spirit_n of_o judgement_n and_o justice_n god_n must_v first_o give_v it_o the_o king_n before_o the_o king_n give_v it_o the_o people_n and_o it_o be_v give_v lord_n for_o as_o moral_a justice_n only_o will_v not_o serve_v so_o neither_o will_v theological_a but_o only_o quae_fw-la

king_n son_n to_o be_v in_o love_n and_o to_o joy_n in_o the_o judgement_n that_o they_o be_v to_o put_v in_o execution_n then_o the_o king_n be_v fit_v indeed_o for_o government_n when_o there_o be_v the_o love_n of_o justice_n and_o truth_n in_o the_o inward_a part_n psa._n 51_o for_o then_o they_o can_v but_o practise_v what_o they_o love_v i_o and_o then_o that_o justice_n which_o be_v within_o at_o the_o heart_n be_v vera_fw-la tua_fw-la true_o god_n righteousness_n and_o for_o this_o justice_n and_o judgement_n i_o shall_v therefore_o continue_v david_n prayer_n and_o go_v on_o give_v

other_o way_n to_o descend_v into_o the_o heart_n of_o the_o king_n and_o the_o king_n son_n none_o but_o god_n can_v see_v to_o drop_v justice_n and_o judgement_n into_o the_o deep_a heart_n of_o the_o king_n none_o but_o only_o pater_fw-la luminae_fw-la the_o father_n of_o light_n that_o stand_v over_o and_o see_v how_o to_o do_v it_o and_o yet_o i_o must_v tell_v you_o here_o that_o while_o he_o pray_v for_o god_n justice_n and_o judgement_n for_o himself_o and_o his_o son_n it_o must_v be_v understand_v with_o a_o great_a deal_n of_o difference_n and_o that_o in_o two_o respect_n first_o because_o god_n judgement_n as_o it_o be_v in_o ●od_a be_v substantial_a it_o be_v so_o in_o god_n as_o it_o be_v his_o essence_n himself_o this_o way_n no_o king_n be_v capable_a of_o god_n justice_n because_o it_o be_v his_o essence_n but_o justice_n as_o it_o be_v give_v to_o the_o king_n be_v a_o quality_n a_o accident_n and_o that_o be_v separable_a if_o god_n either_o leave_n to_o give_v or_o desist_v from_o preserve_v that_o that_o he_o have_v give_v therefore_o king_n have_v great_a need_n to_o pray_v for_o this_o justice_n because_o they_o can_v neither_o have_v it_o nor_o keep_v it_o without_o he_o second_o because_o justice_n as_o it_o be_v in_o god_n be_v luminae_fw-la all_o light_n so_o bright_a that_o even_o impious_a man_n themselves_o can_v but_o acknowledge_v it_o even_o when_o they_o be_v condemn_v by_o it_o so_o clear_a that_o no_o entangle_a cause_n can_v cloud_v it_o no_o corner_n sin_n can_v avoid_v it_o and_o this_o way_n again_o no_o king_n be_v capable_a of_o god_n light_n because_o that_o be_v a_o thing_n incommunicable_a as_o his_o substance_n as_o essential_a as_o he_o but_o justice_n as_o it_o be_v give_v to_o a_o king_n be_v but_o lucerna_fw-la but_o a_o candle_n light_n a_o impart_a light_n a_o light_n that_o be_v kindle_v and_o set_v up_o in_o a_o material_a substance_n and_o so_o darken_v with_o dregs_o yet_o even_o this_o light_a king_n must_v pray_v for_o and_o it_o be_v but_o need_v they_o shall_v for_o if_o god_n give_v not_o even_o this_o light_n it_o be_v impossible_a the_o king_n shall_v see_v how_o to_o do_v justice_n or_o that_o he_o shall_v discern_v how_o to_o execu●e_n those_o judgement_n that_o god_n have_v give_v he_o therefore_o the_o light_n up_o of_o this_o candle_n in_o the_o heart_n of_o the_o k●ng_n the_o light_n of_o justice_n and_o judgement_n be_v a_o marvellous_a blessing_n and_o god_n himself_o account_v it_o so_o and_o it_o appear_v first_o because_o am●ng_v the_o many_o and_o

darkness_n to_o captivity_n so_o you_o may_v see_v what_o it_o be_v to_o want_v this_o light_n of_o judgement_n in_o a_o king_n second_o it_o appear_v to_o be_v great_a by_o the_o promise_n of_o god_n for_o among_o the_o many_o profe●sions_n that_o he_o make_v to_o this_o glorious_a king_n david_n this_o be_v one_o that_o he_o have_v ordain_v a_o light_n for_o he_o psal._n 132._o so_o than_o you_o
