of_o god_n law_n to_o be_v humble_a neither_o be_v lead_v with_o the_o meek_a spirit_n of_o christ_n but_o with_o the_o proud_a spirit_n of_o satan_n will_v either_o think_v scorn_n to_o take_v pain_n for_o the_o safety_n of_o their_o inferior_n or_o else_o by_o violence_n oppress_v they_o and_o tread_v they_o under_o foot_n as_o though_o to_o govern_v be_v nothing_o else_o but_o to_o command_v whereas_o clean_o contrariwise_o as_o that_o noble_a emperor_n theodosius_n say_v to_o govern_v be_v to_o take_v charge_n of_o the_o health_n wealth_n and_o prosperity_n of_o other_o man_n which_o charge_n be_v so_o much_o the_o great_a as_o they_o be_v more_o in_o number_n which_o be_v under_o their_o government_n and_o whereas_o every_o man_n find_v enough_o to_o do_v to_o take_v care_n for_o himself_o and_o his_o own_o well_o be_v we_o see_v how_o heavy_a be_v y_fw-fr e_o burden_n of_o prince_n and_o they_o that_o be_v in_o authority_n which_o have_v the_o charge_n and_o be_v to_o

it_o be_v satan_n be_v not_o ignorant_a when_o he_o tempt_v david_n with_o pride_n as_o we_o may_v easy_o see_v but_o all_o the_o danger_n be_v not_o yet_o express_v for_o whereas_o it_o be_v not_o possible_a that_o any_o one_o person_n though_o his_o wisdom_n care_n and_o diligence_n be_v never_o so_o great_a shall_v bear_v the_o whole_a burden_n himself_o of_o any_o great_a government_n or_o

nothing_o without_o the_o advice_n of_o they_o which_o be_v learn_v in_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o in_o matter_n of_o the_o common_a wealth_n they_o will_v attempt_v nothing_o but_o by_o the_o counsel_n of_o they_o that_o be_v wise_a in_o politic_a affair_n think_v true_o that_o to_o be_v subject_a to_o wisdom_n be_v to_o rule_v most_o honourable_o but_o where_o pride_n prevayl_v with_o any_o prince_n he_o will_v neither_o give_v ear_n to_o the_o messenger_n of_o god_n y_o it_o shall_v speak_v unto_o he_o out_o of_o the_o law_n of_o god_n touch_v religion_n nor_o follow_v the_o prudent_a advice_n of_o trusty_a counselor_n which_o shall_v inform_v he_o in_o matter_n pertain_v to_o the_o common_a wealth_n by_o which_o it_o be_v not_o possible_a that_o either_o the_o one_o or_o the_o other_o can_v be_v well_o order_v and_o govern_v therefore_o great_a be_v the_o danger_n both_o unto_o the_o church_n and_o to_o the_o common_a wealth_n where_o the_o prince_n grow_v to_o be_v insolent_a and_o opinative_a that_o always_o think_v himself_o to_o see_v most_o clear_o in_o every_o matter_n he_o disdain_v to_o be_v direct_v after_o any_o counsel_n or_o advice_n that_o can_v be_v give_v by_o any_o man_n and_o therefore_o solomon_n say_v see_v thou_o one_o that_o be_v wise_a in_o his_o own_o conceit_n there_o be_v more_o hope_n of_o a_o fool_n then_o of_o he_o and_o this_o begin_v to_o appear_v even_o in_o this_o example_n of_o david_n for_o when_o satan_n have_v stuff_v his_o mind_n with_o a_o proud_a desire_n to_o know_v his_o force_n he_o give_v no_o ear_n to_o joab_n that_o with_o some_o reason_n seek_v to_o dissuade_v he_o from_o so_o vain_a a_o enterprise_n thus_o presumption_n cause_v prince_n to_o shut_v their_o ear_n against_o godly_a and_o prudent_a advice_n of_o their_o counselor_n and_o that_o which_o be_v worse_o when_o pride_n have_v overcome_v the_o prince_n heart_n he_o shall_v hardly_o find_v any_o that_o will_v give_v faithful_a and_o

adventure_v to_o speak_v the_o truth_n which_o they_o know_v will_v purchase_v themselves_o displeasure_n so_o the_o king_n be_v not_o defend_v with_o faithful_a and_o trusty_a counselour_n lie_v open_a to_o clawback_n and_o flatterer_n which_o will_v devour_v he_o while_o he_o be_v alive_a worser_o than_o any_o wild_a beast_n which_o pray_v only_o upon_o dead_a carcase_n you_o see_v the_o drift_n of_o satan_n malice_n in_o provoke_v the_o prince_n to_o pride_n to_o leave_v he_o bare_a of_o all_o such_o necessary_a help_n as_o he_o may_v have_v right_o to_o discharge_v his_o office_n but_o be_v destitute_a of_o all_o assistance_n upon_o earth_n be_v there_o any_o aid_n trow_v you_o to_o be_v look_v for_o out_o of_o heaven_n no_o very_o for_o by_o pride_n the_o king_n make_v

possible_a for_o any_o prince_n to_o govern_v well_o so_o no_o prince_n can_v be_v partaker_n thereof_o that_o be_v thrall_n to_o pride_n and_o enemy_n to_o humility_n for_o god_n have_v say_v in_o

to_o be_v endue_v with_o humility_n which_o if_o they_o be_v not_o they_o may_v be_v well_o assure_v never_o to_o partake_v of_o god_n grace_n to_o the_o good_a government_n of_o their_o realm_n and_o

chastise_v he_o for_o so_o he_o acknowledge_v in_o the_o 51._o psalm_n that_o not_o only_o for_o that_o gross_a and_o notorious_a sin_n of_o adultery_n and_o murder_n he_o have_v deserve_v god_n

when_o thou_o be_v judge_v and_o lest_o we_o shall_v think_v that_o he_o speak_v of_o some_o short_a time_n of_o his_o life_n in_o which_o the_o devil_n have_v so_o great_o prevail_v with_o he_o he_o declare_v in_o the_o next_o verse_n that_o it_o be_v even_o from_o his_o nativity_n yea_o from_o his_o conception_n that_o this_o corruption_n have_v remain_v in_o he_o which_o be_v contrary_a to_o

this_o confession_n of_o david_n therefore_o be_v sufficient_a to_o clear_v the_o lord_n from_o all_o unrighteousness_n and_o to_o show_v manifest_o that_o david_n be_v not_o punish_v for_o the_o

but_o y_z e_z when_o so_o ever_o the_o lord_n shall_v chastise_v he_o he_o shall_v not_o do_v it_o with_o out_o his_o desert_n so_o y_o t_o every_o way_n it_o stand_v with_o god_n righteousness_n that_o israel_n have_v cause_v his_o wrath_n to_o be_v kind_a lead_v against_o he_o he_o shall_v stir_v up_o david_n who_o he_o have_v give_v to_o they_o be_v a_o most_o excellent_a prince_n for_o

how_o can_v you_o avoid_v that_o inconvenience_n say_v they_o that_o follow_v of_o this_o assertion_n god_n move_v david_n to_o do_v that_o wherewith_o he_o be_v displease_v therefore_o he_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o the_o sin_n in_o david_n it_o be_v easy_o avoid_v for_o the_o same_o story_n be_v set_v down_o in_o 1._o chro._n 21._o chap._n where_o it_o be_v say_v that_o satan_n or_o the_o

a_o most_o malicious_a enemy_n by_o which_o shal_v that_n there_o proceed_v nothing_o from_o god_n but_o justice_n and_o that_o the_o sin_n which_o be_v evil_a come_v from_o the_o devil_n so_o that_o

of_o any_o evil_n in_o us._n nevertheless_o he_o use_v satan_n to_o punish_v we_o who_o although_o he_o be_v a_o malicious_a enemy_n yet_o be_v he_o a_o minister_n of_o y_fw-fr e_o righteous_a

can_v not_o stir_v but_o where_o and_o when_o it_o please_v god_n in_o justice_n to_o use_v his_o ministry_n and_o service_n therefore_o when_o the_o wrath_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v kindle_v against_o
