A76788	Endevors aiming at the glory of God, that peace & truth may meet together: wherein is contained the excellency, benefit, and necessity of good government and governors: a loving reply to Mr William Prynnes speech made to the House of Commons, and afterwards published. Some matters are propounded to the consideration of the ministry; and also to particular (and to all) opinions. The first, purest, best and most blessed form and manner of government, prescribed by God, (and recorded in Gods sacred word;) together with the way of entrance, or Gods calling of persons to places of chief government, the great consequence thereof. Wherein is shewed, that government by succession, from the father to the son, was none of Gods institution, in the first and purest times. And also the government by Judges is plainly proved to be the best form of government, being Gods immediate direction, most blessed and approved for Gods glory, and for a peoples greatest good, comfort, and safety. / By John Blackleach.

the_o four_o reason_n be_v because_o god_n be_v most_o strong_a able_a to_o protect_v his_o own_o work_n the_o five_o reason_n be_v because_o god_n love_v and_o bless_v his_o own_o work_n and_o rule_n and_o make_v they_o to_o prosper_v the_o six_o reason_n be_v because_o god_n be_v true_a and_o faithful_a in_o all_o his_o word_n and_o promise_n now_o god_n have_v promise_v to_o bless_v and_o to_o prosper_v his_o own_o rule_n and_o direction_n and_o so_o it_o evident_o appear_v that_o he_o have_v do_v on_o the_o contrary_a that_o government_n which_o people_n prescribe_v be_v very_o much_o

power_n truth_n and_o immutability_n of_o god_n as_o do_v appear_v plain_o in_o that_o man_n when_o they_o lay_v their_o head_n and_o will_n and_o power_n together_o to_o oppose_v god_n
