i_o come_v now_o to_o the_o four_o and_o last_o thing_n consider_v in_o the_o text_n and_o which_o i_o principal_o design_v to_o speak_v to_o namely_o the_o reason_n or_o argument_n which_o the_o

and_o honesty_n the_o manifold_a benefit_n and_o advantage_n which_o redound_v to_o we_o from_o our_o governor_n be_v a_o sufficient_a argument_n why_o we_o shall_v pray_v to_o god_n for_o they_o and_o praise_v he_o likewise_o for_o so_o great_a a_o blessing_n and_o that_o in_o the_o first_o place_n i_o exhort_v therefore_o first_o of_o all_o say_v the_o apostle_n etc._n etc._n now_o the_o apostle_n here_o in_o the_o text_n express_v two_o great_a advantage_n of_o government_n which_o upon_o the_o matter_n do_v comprehend_v all_o the_o rest_n 1._o that_o by_o government_n we_o be_v secure_v in_o our_o civil_a right_n and_o interest_n in_o the_o quiet_a and_o peaceable_a possession_n of_o what_o be_v our_o own_o 2._o that_o we_o may_v thereby_o be_v protect_v in_o the_o free_a practice_n and_o exercise_n of_o religion_n and_o virtue_n these_o be_v the_o two_o great_a and_o most_o desirable_a thing_n to_o man_n and_o neither_o of_o these_o can_v be_v have_v without_o government_n i_o shall_v brief_o consider_v these_o two_o particular_n and_o then_o endeavour_v to_o show_v what_o obligation_n the_o consideration_n of_o they_o lay_v upon_o we_o both_o to_o pray_v to_o god_n in_o the_o behalf_n of_o our_o prince_n and_o governor_n and_o likewise_o to_o praise_n god_n for_o they_o and_o then_o i_o shall_v conclude_v all_o with_o a_o brief_a application_n of_o this_o whole_a discourse_n to_o the_o solemn_a occasion_n of_o this_o day_n first_o i_o shall_v begin_v with_o the_o benefit_n and_o advantage_n of_o government_n mention_v in_o the_o text_n namely_o these_o two_n 1._o that_o by_o it_o we_o be_v secure_v in_o our_o civil_a right_n and_o interest_n in_o the_o quiet_a and_o peaceable_a possession_n of_o what_o be_v our_o own_o without_o government_n there_o can_v be_v no_o such_o thing_n as_o property_n in_o any_o thing_n beyond_o our_o own_o person_n for_o nothing_o but_o law_n can_v make_v property_n and_o law_n be_v the_o effect_n of_o government_n and_o authority_n nay_o without_o government_n we_o have_v no_o security_n of_o our_o person_n and_o life_n much_o less_o of_o any_o thing_n that_o belong_v to_o we_o and_o be_v at_o present_a in_o our_o possession_n be_v we_o not_o protect_v by_o law_n which_o be_v the_o effect_n of_o government_n we_o can_v have_v no_o safety_n no_o quiet_a enjoyment_n of_o any_o thing_n but_o every_o man_n must_v be_v perpetual_o upon_o his_o guard_n against_o all_o the_o world_n and_o expose_v to_o continual_a violence_n and_o injury_n from_o those_o who_o be_v too_o many_o and_o too_o strong_a for_o he_o so_o that_o all_o our_o quiet_a and_o security_n from_o fear_n and_o danger_n from_o the_o fraud_n and_o oppression_n of_o those_o who_o be_v more_o crafty_a and_o powerful_a than_o ourselves_o from_o endless_a confusion_n and_o distraction_n and_o from_o a_o state_n of_o perpetual_a feud_n and_o war_n with_o all_o mankind_n be_v entire_o due_a and_o owe_v to_o civil_a government_n and_o this_o alone_a be_v so_o unspeakable_a a_o benefit_n that_o without_o it_o man_n of_o all_o creature_n will_v be_v the_o most_o miserable_a because_o all_o that_o wit_n and_o sagacity_n all_o that_o cunning_a and_o contrivance_n which_o mankind_n have_v above_o the_o bruit_n creature_n will_v but_o enable_v they_o to_o do_v so_o much_o the_o more_o mischief_n to_o one_o another_o and_o to_o devise_v and_o find_v out_o more_o powerful_a and_o effectual_a mean_n and_o instrument_n to_o harm_n and_o destroy_v one_o another_o in_o short_a that_o we_o live_v and_o that_o we_o live_v well_o in_o any_o tolerable_a condition_n either_o of_o safety_n or_o plenty_n and_o that_o we_o be_v able_a to_o call_v any_o thing_n our_o own_o for_o one_o day_n or_o for_o one_o hour_n that_o we_o be_v not_o in_o perpetual_a terror_n and_o apprehension_n of_o mortal_a danger_n and_o that_o we_o be_v at_o any_o time_n free_a from_o the_o invasion_n of_o what_o we_o at_o present_a possess_v by_o the_o fraud_n and_o force_n of_o other_o be_v sole_o the_o effect_n of_o this_o great_a blessing_n and_o divine_a appointment_n of_o government_n to_o preserve_v the_o peace_n of_o humane_a society_n and_o by_o wise_a and_o wholesome_a law_n to_o tie_v up_o man_n hand_n from_o mutual_a injury_n and_o violence_n upon_o this_o all_o the_o comfort_n and_o all_o the_o security_n
