true_a christianity_n and_o those_o miserable_a wretch_n be_v cross_v in_o their_o wicked_a design_n have_v labour_v by_o all_o mean_v possible_a to_o make_v variance_n between_o the_o king_n and_o

even_o so_o likewise_o in_o a_o prerogative_n royal_a it_o stand_v as_o aforesaid_a upon_o these_o three_o point_n but_o after_o a_o mystical_a manner_n as_o first_o the_o foundation_n of_o truth_n second_o the_o suportation_n of_o judgement_n and_o three_o the_o bond_n of_o righteousness_n and_o these_o three_o point_n have_v god_n command_v the_o king_n prerogative_n to_o stand_v upon_o as_o first_o in_o the_o book_n of_o deuteronomie_n the_o 17._o chap._n the_o 18.19_o and_o 20._o verse_n give_v we_o to_o understand_v that_o king_n must_v be_v godly_a and_o religious_a who_o affection_n

away_o with_o every_o wind_n of_o false_a doctrine_n as_o many_o king_n be_v the_o second_o point_n that_o the_o prerogative_n be_v uphold_v by_o be_v judgement_n for_o if_o a_o man_n have_v never_o so_o good_a foundation_n in_o the_o truth_n yet_o if_o he_o have_v no_o judgement_n to_o support_v the_o truth_n aright_o whereby_o do_v proceed_v matter_n of_o true_a faith_n as_o good_a not_o know_v

upon_o which_o a_o good_a building_n do_v consist_v be_v peace_n obligation_n and_o a_o sound_a band_n for_o in_o architect_n the_o foundation_n the_o supportation_n be_v never_o so_o firm_a to_o

if_o it_o have_v not_o truth_n and_o have_v truth_n have_v not_o judgement_n and_o have_v judgement_n have_v not_o the_o bond_n of_o righteousness_n it_o can_v be_v no_o prerogative_n royal_a for_o god_n have_v command_v in_o the_o 22._o of_o jeremy_n the_o 1_o 2_o 3_o 4_o and_o 5._o verse_n so_o here_o we_o vulgar_a sort_n of_o people_n may_v see_v upon_o what_o ground_n the_o king_n prerogative_n do_v stand_v as_o namely_o upon_o truth_n judgement_n and_o righteousness_n so_o as_o truth_n and_o judgement_n do_v teach_v matter_n of_o faith_n so_o judgement_n and_o righteousness_n do_v teach_v manner_n of_o life_n and_o conversation_n so_o that_o here_o we_o may_v learn_v and_o observe_v that_o as_o it_o be_v the_o duty_n of_o all_o king_n from_o god_n to_o reign_v to_o rule_v to_o govern_v and_o command_v in_o their_o several_a kingdom_n and_o dominion_n all_o the_o subject_n according_a to_o the_o prerogative_n afore_o mention_v so_o it_o be_v the_o duty_n of_o every_o
