to_o the_o babylonish_n captivity_n and_o consequent_o that_o the_o promise_n in_o the_o text_n be_v to_o be_v make_v good_a when_o they_o shall_v be_v restore_v to_o their_o own_o country_n and_o

public_a affair_n concern_v who_o we_o have_v in_o the_o sacred_a story_n a_o very_a good_a character_n as_o of_o wise_a and_o good_a man_n and_o excellent_a governor_n but_o other_o and_o i_o think_v with_o great_a probability_n carry_v the_o matter_n far_o refer_v this_o prophecy_n to_o the_o time_n of_o the_o gospel_n these_o reckon_v that_o the_o judgement_n here_o threaten_v be_v the_o great_a desolation_n of_o judea_n and_o jerusalem_n by_o the_o roman_n and_o that_o the_o promise_n of_o purge_v away_o their_o dross_n and_o take_v away_o all_o their_o tin_n be_v to_o be_v fulfil_v under_o the_o reign_n of_o the_o messiah_n and_o that_o as_o jerusalem_n which_o then_o be_v be_v a_o type_n and_o figure_n of_o the_o christian_a church_n so_o the_o promise_n which_o be_v make_v to_o that_o

reform_a temper_n and_o practice_n so_o there_o shall_v be_v christian_a governor_n and_o magistrate_n who_o shall_v prove_v eminent_a instrument_n in_o this_o reformation_n and_o such_o no_o doubt_n there_o have_v be_v in_o most_o age_n of_o christianity_n though_o i_o think_v whosoever_o take_v a_o view_n of_o the_o christian_a world_n and_o well_o consider_v what_o the_o state_n of_o thing_n have_v be_v and_o still_o be_v therein_o will_v judge_v it_o reasonable_a to_o hope_v that_o this_o promise_n be_v yet_o to_o have_v a_o more_o eminent_a accomplishment_n than_o it_o have_v have_v

of_o they_o appear_v to_o have_v have_v a_o sincere_a and_o awful_a regard_n to_o god_n and_o to_o his_o law_n with_o a_o fervent_a desire_n to_o promote_v his_o honour_n and_o do_v his_o will._n they_o be_v man_n likewise_o of_o a_o public_a spirit_n possess_v with_o a_o hearty_a love_n to_o their_o country_n and_o a_o great_a zeal_n for_o assert_v its_o liberty_n and_o promote_a its_o

they_o and_o as_o this_o be_v the_o just_a character_n of_o those_o who_o be_v under_o god_n their_o chief_a governor_n for_o such_o all_o those_o who_o i_o have_v now_o mention_v be_v so_o their_o inferior_a magistrate_n also_o be_v at_o the_o first_o person_n of_o the_o same_o stamp_n as_o we_o may_v be_v assure_v by_o reflect_v upon_o two_o passage_n in_o the_o book_n of_o exodus_fw-la and_o deuteronomy_n very_o full_a and_o plain_a to_o our_o present_a purpose_n where_o we_o have_v a_o account_n how_o those_o person_n be_v qualify_v who_o be_v by_o moses_n first_o appoint_v to_o rule_v the_o people_n under_o he_o the_o former_a passage_n be_v that_o which_o contain_v the_o advice_n of_o jethro_n moses_n father-in-law_n when_o he_o observe_v how_o much_o too_o heavy_a a_o burden_n it_o be_v for_o one_o man_n to_o judge_v all_o that_o people_n by_o himself_o upon_o this_o he_o counsel_n moses_n to_o appoint_v other_o who_o shall_v be_v subordinate_a to_o he_o and_o assist_v he_o in_o that_o great_a work_n and_o what_o sort_n of_o person_n they_o shall_v be_v he_o tell_v he_o in_o those_o remarkable_a word_n 18.21_o exod._n 18.21_o thou_o shall_v provide_v say_v he_o out_o of_o all_o the_o people_n able_a man_n such_o as_o fear_v god_n man_n of_o truth_n hate_v covetousness_n and_o place_v such_o over_o they_o and_o we_o find_v that_o moses_n do_v according_o in_o the_o other_o passage_n which_o i_o be_o to_o produce_v viz._n where_o he_o thus_o declare_v to_o the_o people_n 15._o deut._n 1.9_o 13_o 14_o 15._o i_o speak_v unto_o you_o say_v he_o at_o that_o time_n

and_o make_v they_o head_n over_o you_o now_o by_o reflect_v upon_o these_o two_o passage_n we_o may_v clear_o discern_v the_o character_n of_o those_o magistrate_n with_o which_o that_o people_n be_v blessed_v at_o the_o beginning_n they_o be_v able_a man_n the_o word_n in_o the_o original_a like_o that_o in_o our_o english_a tongue_n be_v of_o a_o large_a signification_n denote_v the_o several_a

strength_n or_o man_n of_o substance_n wealthy_a man_n or_o man_n of_o natural_a courage_n and_o fortitude_n or_o last_o man_n of_o judgement_n and_o prudence_n there_o be_v no_o question_n but_o that_o each_o of_o these_o may_v be_v esteem_v able_a man_n in_o some_o degree_n qualify_v for_o the_o discharge_n of_o public_a office_n a_o competent_a measure_n of_o health_n and_o strength_n
