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 provide_v for_o the_o safety_n of_o so_o many_o and_o that_o with_o such_o condition_n y_fw-fr t_o if_o any_o one_o do_v perish_v through_o their_o negligence_n or_o misgovernement_n his_o blood_n shall_v be_v require_v at_o their_o hand_n that_o vice_n therefore_o by_o which_o they_o be_v make_v unapt_a and_o unwilling_a to_o take_v so_o great_a a_o charge_n upon_o they_o how_o dangerous_a 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 kingdom_n all_o good_a governor_n have_v think_v it_o necessary_a to_o use_v the_o assistance_n of_o wise_a and_o faithful_a counsel_n so_o that_o in_o matter_n of_o religion_n they_o will_v decree_v 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 profitable_a counsel_n for_o when_o the_o king_n humour_n be_v once_o perceive_v that_o he_o will_v hear_v no_o counsel_n which_o be_v contrary_a to_o his_o affection_n few_o or_o none_o will_v 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 himself_o uncapable_a of_o that_o whereby_o all_o prince_n in_o solemn_a title_n profess_v that_o they_o do_v reign_v namely_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n without_o which_o as_o it_o be_v not_o 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 express_a word_n that_o he_o resist_v the_o proud_a and_o give_v grace_n to_o none_o but_o such_o as_o be_v humble_a of_o heart_n how_o then_o can_v they_o prosper_v which_o have_v god_n to_o their_o open_a enemy_n which_o be_v void_a of_o all_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n without_o which_o no_o king_n dare_v affirm_v that_o he_o be_v able_a to_o govern_v well_o wherefore_o it_o be_v a_o good_a remembrance_n for_o all_o king_n and_o prince_n when_o so_o ever_o they_o read_v or_o hear_v their_o style_n rehearse_v that_o they_o will_v be_v admonish_v how_o necessary_a it_o be_v for_o they_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 discharge_v of_o their_o conscience_n whatsoever_o they_o pretend_v in_o their_o title_n last_o of_o all_o the_o conversion_n from_o this_o period_n of_o pride_n and_o presumption_n be_v so_o dangerous_a no_o less_o for_o the_o state_n of_o a_o prince_n then_o for_o the_o safety_n of_o every_o other_o person_n that_o the_o most_o wise_a king_n solomon_n who_o well_o consider_v the_o beginning_n proceed_v and_o end_n of_o all_o thing_n which_o be_v y_fw-fr e_o ground_n of_o wisdom_n doubt_v not_o to_o affirm_v in_o the_o i6_n of_o his_o proverbe_n that_o pride_n go_v before_o destruction_n and_o a_o high_a mind_n before_o y_z e_z fall_n this_o when_o satan_n know_v by_o experience_n of_o his_o own_o fall_n and_o destruction_n he_o tempt_v david_n to_o pride_n whereof_o not_o only_o the_o inconvenience_n before_o rehearse_v may_v ensue_v but_o also_o the_o final_a overthrow_n and_o confusion_n of_o david_n and_o his_o kingdom_n may_v follow_v the_o lord_n which_o

with_o all_o such_o grace_n and_o gift_n of_o his_o holy_a spirit_n as_o be_v needful_a to_o discharge_v so_o high_a a_o call_n the_o third_o and_o last_o part_n i_o promise_v to_o entreat_v of_o be_v the_o frailty_n of_o man_n which_o in_o this_o text_n be_v offer_v to_o be_v consider_v in_o two_o person_n first_o in_o the_o person_n of_o david_n and_o second_o in_o the_o person_n of_o joab_n

not_o need_v to_o describe_v he_o be_v sufficient_o know_v unto_o you_o and_o yet_o he_o be_v not_o exempt_v from_o the_o common_a fragility_n of_o man_n he_o be_v high_o commend_v in_o the_o
