i_o never_o hear_v they_o read_v the_o context_n by_o i_o prince_n rule_v and_o noble_n even_o all_o the_o judge_n of_o the_o earth_n and_o good_a reason_n for_o this_o will_v prove_v too_o much_o and_o more_o than_o they_o will_v have_v namely_o that_o judge_n be_v jure_fw-la divino_fw-la as_o well_o as_o king_n for_o by_o the_o same_o logic_n that_o the_o one_o be_v infer_v from_o the_o 15_o

when_o durante_fw-la beneplacito_fw-la come_v into_o fashion_n and_o judge_n be_v turn_v out_o for_o do_v right_o but_o i_o do_v not_o see_v how_o either_o of_o the_o two_o can_v be_v prove_v from_o this_o scripture_n for_o who_o be_v this_o i_o and_o this_o i_o mention_v here_o in_o my_o text_n it_o be_v not_o solomon_n for_o vers_fw-la 23._o i_o be_v set_v up_o from_o everlasting_a nor_o be_v

of_o wisdom_n i_o wisdom_n dwell_v with_o prudence_n etc._n etc._n and_o a_o little_a after_o by_o i_o king_n reign_n etc._n etc._n so_o then_o the_o plain_a meaning_n of_o the_o text_n be_v this_o that_o king_n reign_n by_o wisdom_n and_o that_o noble_n and_o judge_n who_o have_v the_o administration_n of_o public_a affair_n be_v qualify_v by_o wisdom_n to_o manage_v the_o great_a concern_v and_o business_n of_o a_o kingdom_n and_o though_o all_o king_n and_o minister_n of_o state_n be_v not_o thus_o qualify_v which_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o many_o short_a and_o unfortunate_a reign_n yet_o here_o we_o be_v teach_v what_o it_o be_v that_o qualify_v they_o for_o government_n and_o that_o wisdom_n be_v to_o be_v seek_v by_o they_o more_o than_o fine_a silver_n and_o knowledge_n rather_o than_o choice_n gold_n if_o this_o lesson_n have_v be_v well_o learned_a by_o our_o late_a king_n england_n have_v be_v a_o flourish_a nation_n at_o this_o day_n and_o may_v perhaps_o have_v give_v law_n to_o the_o christian_a world_n by_o this_o time_n our_o adversary_n will_v be_v ready_a to_o demand_v after_o their_o scoff_a manner_n when_o be_v it_o time_n for_o the_o people_n to_o rebel_n and_o who_o must_v judge_v between_o they_o and_o their_o king_n to_o this_o i_o shall_v answer_v after_o i_o have_v make_v a_o observation_n about_o the_o word_n rebel_n or_o rebellion_n it_o have_v be_v oft_o observe_v by_o learned_a man_n that_o the_o scripture_n condescend_v to_o humane_a capacity_n use_v such_o form_n of_o speech_n as_o be_v common_a among_o man_n though_o the_o same_o be_v not_o to_o be_v take_v in_o a_o strict_a and_o proper_a sense_n thus_o it_o be_v say_v god_n make_v two_o great_a light_n the_o one_o to_o rule_v the_o day_n the_o other_o to_o rule_v the_o night_n whereas_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o the_o moon_n have_v no_o more_o light_n in_o itself_o than_o a_o stone-wall_n only_o it_o shine_v by_o reflect_v to_o we_o that_o borrow_v light_v it_o receive_v from_o the_o sun_n so_o when_o a_o people_n arm_v themselves_o against_o their_o king_n it_o be_v very_o obvious_a to_o call_v it_o rebellion_n though_o their_o cause_n be_v never_o so_o
