VI that Hushai was so high in esteem with King David that he was both by the King and his Enemies owned as King Davids friend seventhly Ob. VII that the hand of God did signally appear at this time in the Kings great deliverance and readvancement to his Throne for God had appointed and Commanded it should be so These circumstances premised It will be the safest way and most honourable for all subjects who as deluded Israelites have offended their Soveraign and yielded either to Absolons flattery or Achitophels Counsels and so defiled their souls with Treason and Rebellion to become cordial and true converts to their Prince and laying fast hold on his mercy and clemency to repent them truly for their crimes and errours For this is the plain Path to true Content and high way and passage to Heaven The Parallel betwixt King CHARLES the II.
