merciless_a execution_n of_o a_o tyrannical_a prince_n we_o must_v not_o make_v use_n of_o any_o other_o weapon_n against_o he_o than_o what_o god_n have_v put_v into_o our_o hand_n which_o be_v only_a prayer_n and_o tear_n we_o must_v not_o otherways_o oppose_v he_o than_o by_o desire_v of_o god_n that_o he_o will_v convert_v he_o to_o the_o love_n of_o truth_n and_o justice_n and_o mercy_n or_o at_o least_o restrain_v he_o from_o his_o violent_a and_o outrageous_a practice_n and_o this_o very_a consideration_n be_v sufficient_a to_o convince_v we_o that_o we_o ought_v especial_o to_o pray_v for_o king_n 4._o consider_v that_o by_o pray_v for_o king_n we_o do_v that_o which_o in_o a_o peculiar_a manner_n be_v please_v to_o god_n and_o agreeable_a to_o his_o will_n and_o therefore_o not_o to_o pray_v at_o all_o for_o they_o or_o to_o pray_v for_o they_o with_o a_o cold_a and_o lazy_a and_o unconcerned_a indifference_n be_v to_o be_v negligent_a and_o remiss_a in_o a_o duty_n which_o god_n in_o a_o especial_a manner_n have_v oblige_v we_o unto_o st._n paul_n have_v exhort_v timothy_n to_o take_v care_n in_o the_o first_o place_n that_o this_o duty_n be_v perform_v he_o enforce_v his_o exhortation_n by_o tell_v he_o that_o this_o be_v good_a and_o acceptable_a unto_o god_n ver_fw-la 3._o and_o we_o can_v but_o look_v upon_o it_o as_o a_o thing_n good_a in_o itself_o to_o pray_v in_o a_o especial_a manner_n for_o king_n because_o it_o be_v such_o a_o exercise_n of_o charity_n such_o a_o demonstration_n of_o gratitude_n and_o we_o have_v as_o much_o reason_n to_o believe_v it_o acceptable_a to_o god_n because_o it_o be_v good_a in_o itself_o because_o it_o be_v conformable_a to_o the_o divine_a will_n and_o do_v in_o obedience_n to_o god_n particular_a and_o express_a commandment_n and_o therefore_o if_o we_o will_v live_v in_o a_o humble_a obedience_n to_o god_n and_o enjoy_v his_o favour_n which_o be_v promise_v only_o on_o the_o condition_n of_o such_o a_o obedience_n we_o must_v pray_v especial_o for_o king_n who_o be_v god_n minister_n the_o representative_n of_o his_o power_n and_o authority_n the_o great_a instrument_n of_o his_o providence_n in_o govern_v the_o world_n 1._o if_o we_o ought_v especial_o to_o pray_v for_o king_n than_o this_o show_v how_o little_a of_o true_a christianity_n how_o little_a of_o the_o gospel-spirit_n and_o temper_n there_o be_v in_o those_o people_n who_o be_v so_o far_o from_o pray_v for_o king_n that_o they_o bear_v a_o malicious_a spite_n a_o implacable_a hatred_n against_o they_o that_o curse_v the_o king_n in_o their_o thought_n and_o wish_v he_o evil_a in_o their_o heart_n that_o will_v rejoice_v at_o any_o disastrous_a fate_n or_o untimely_a end_n which_o shall_v befall_v he_o if_o this_o be_v their_o pray_v for_o the_o king_n it_o be_v a_o say_v their_o prayer_n backward_o a_o sort_n of_o devotion_n which_o those_o wretched_a creature_n be_v say_v to_o use_v who_o enter_v into_o league_n and_o compact_n with_o the_o devil_n and_o certain_a it_o be_v that_o such_o kind_n of_o pray_v be_v a_o immediate_a disposition_n the_o very_a next_o step_n to_o rebellion_n which_o be_v as_o the_o sin_n of_o witchcraft_n 2._o from_o hence_o we_o may_v learn_v to_o what_o cause_v we_o may_v ascribe_v the_o failure_n and_o irregularity_n of_o prince_n the_o maladministration_n and_o miscarriage_n of_o their_o government_n whatsoever_o be_v amiss_o in_o their_o government_n we_o be_v apt_a to_o impute_v it_o sole_o to_o their_o weakness_n and_o infirmity_n to_o their_o folly_n and_o passion_n or_o to_o some_o prevail_a lust_n and_o domineer_a vice_n in_o they_o for_o because_o the_o conduct_n and_o management_n of_o public_a affair_n be_v in_o their_o hand_n we_o never_o look_v further_o for_o the_o cause_n of_o public_a miscarriage_n than_o to_o their_o very_a person_n from_o who_o they_o immediate_o proceed_v and_o thus_o we_o never_o consider_v how_o much_o it_o be_v in_o our_o power_n to_o make_v king_n better_o or_o worse_o and_o that_o the_o safety_n of_o their_o person_n the_o holiness_n of_o their_o life_n the_o wisdom_n and_o justice_n and_o prosperity_n of_o their_o government_n do_v in_o a_o great_a measure_n depend_v upon_o the_o charity_n of_o our_o prayer_n the_o piety_n and_o righteousness_n of_o our_o conversation_n for_o there_o be_v such_o a_o political_a relation_n such_o a_o civil_a union_n between_o king_n and_o their_o people_n and_o their_o interest_n be_v so_o involve_v and_o interweave_v with_o one_o another_o that_o their_o respective_a virtue_n or_o vice_n affect_v each_o other_o with_o a_o mutual_a and_o reciprocal_a influence_n and_o recommend_v each_o other_o to_o the_o favour_n or_o expose_v to_o the_o displeasure_n of_o god_n almighty_n thus_o god_n sometime_o withdraw_v his_o grace_n and_o protection_n from_o a_o good_a king_n and_o suffer_v he_o to_o fall_v into_o sin_n or_o mischief_n for_o the_o sake_n of_o a_o wicked_a and_o perverse_a people_n this_o appear_v in_o the_o instance_n of_o holy_a david_n and_o that_o good_a king_n josiah_n 25_o 2_o sam._n 24._o 1._o 2_o king_n 23._o 25_o and_o this_o may_v teach_v we_o to_o look_v at_o home_n and_o to_o search_v within_o our_o own_o heart_n for_o the_o discovery_n of_o the_o cause_n to_o which_o the_o error_n of_o governor_n and_o the_o mischief_n of_o their_o government_n be_v owe_v for_o see_v god_n have_v appoint_v we_o to_o pray_v in_o a_o especial_a manner_n for_o king_n we_o may_v be_v sure_a that_o there_o be_v virtue_n and_o efficacy_n in_o our_o prayer_n to_o enable_v governor_n to_o discharge_v their_o office_n and_o administer_v public_a affair_n wise_o just_o and_o religious_o and_o if_o at_o any_o time_n or_o in_o any_o instance_n they_o do_v otherwise_o have_v we_o not_o reason_n to_o conclude_v that_o the_o fault_n original_o be_v in_o ourselves_o and_o that_o it_o so_o happen_v because_o we_o either_o neglect_n to_o pray_v for_o king_n or_o else_o we_o do_v not_o pray_v for_o they_o in_o such_o a_o devout_a affectionate_a and_o importunat_a manner_n as_o we_o ought_v 3._o this_o show_v the_o excellency_n of_o the_o liturgy_n &_o public_a service_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n in_o this_o point_n of_o christian_a doctrine_n how_o evangelical_n in_o this_o respect_n it_o be_v in_o its_o frame_n and_o contrivance_n how_o apostolical_a in_o its_o composure_n and_o constitution_n with_o relation_n to_o the_o duty_n which_o we_o owe_v to_o king_n and_o prince_n for_o how_o ample_o and_o large_o have_v it_o provide_v for_o our_o devotion_n in_o this_o instance_n how_o many_o collect_v and_o prayer_n do_v it_o contain_v for_o the_o king_n and_o how_o be_v we_o teach_v by_o those_o collect_v and_o prayer_n to_o petition_n god_n for_o every_o thing_n which_o concern_v our_o king_n in_o all_o his_o capacity_n and_o relation_n and_o which_o be_v any_o way_n necessary_a to_o make_v he_o happy_a and_o prosperous_a as_o a_o man_n as_o a_o christian_a and_o as_o a_o king_n and_o in_o what_o significant_a word_n and_o pathetic_a expression_n be_v those_o prayer_n deliver_v such_o as_o be_v proper_a to_o inform_v the_o dull_a understanding_n and_o inflame_v the_o cold_a devotion_n and_o this_o perhaps_o be_v one_o great_a reason_n why_o those_o who_o be_v enemy_n to_o the_o king_n be_v such_o enemy_n to_o our_o liturgy_n and_o have_v all_o along_o endeavour_v the_o abolition_n of_o the_o one_o as_o well_o as_o the_o destruction_n of_o the_o other_o but_o god_n be_v thank_v we_o have_v not_o so_o learned_a christ_n as_o to_o despise_v his_o public_a solemn_a worship_n because_o it_o be_v such_o a_o friend_n to_o the_o person_n and_o authority_n of_o his_o vicegerent_n and_o be_v so_o conformable_a to_o the_o divine_a will_n in_o such_o a_o main_a and_o important_a duty_n of_o christianity_n no_o we_o i_o hope_v shall_v value_v more_o and_o more_o the_o liturgy_n of_o our_o church_n and_o take_v all_o occasion_n to_o join_v in_o the_o public_a performance_n of_o it_o because_o it_o be_v such_o a_o excellent_a guide_n to_o our_o devotion_n and_o teach_v we_o in_o such_o various_a and_o comprehensive_a and_o lively_a form_n to_o pray_v for_o our_o king_n and_o all_o in_o authority_n under_o he_o but_o then_o withal_o i_o must_v crave_v leave_n to_o tell_v you_o that_o if_o we_o will_v have_v our_o prayer_n which_o we_o either_o put_v up_o for_o our_o king_n or_o for_o ourselves_o to_o succeed_v and_o prevail_v for_o a_o blessing_n we_o must_v take_v care_n that_o they_o be_v the_o breathe_n of_o a_o devout_a mind_n the_o issue_n of_o a_o pure_a heart_n and_o proceed_v from_o a_o soul_n entire_o resign_v and_o dedicate_v to_o the_o
