O
King
,
live
for
ever
.
TIs
a
good
day
this
;
a
day
on
which
after
a
long
and
grievous
bondage
of
our
Nation
under
wicked
and
tyrannous
U●urpers
,
our
miraculously
preserved
lawful
rightful
King
,
was
as
miraculously
restored
,
and
brought
home
to
sit
on
his
Fathers
Throne
.
And
though
for
the
long
Life
and
Prosperity
of
our
King
we
should
every
day
pray
;
yet
on
this
day
of
his
Birth
and
new
Birth
we
should
double
our
Devotions
;
pray
and
pray
,
yea
never
think
that
we
can
pray
too
oft
,
Let
the
King
live
for
ever
.
And
to
stir
you
up
to
be
constant
and
frequent
in
praying
for
the
long
Life
and
the
eternal
Life
,
the
earthly
Prosperity
and
Heavenly
Glory
of
our
King
;
I
have
chosen
for
the
foundation
and
ground-work
of
my
Discourse
unto
you
on
this
day
,
this
Prayer
,
which
was
made
by
a
Loyal
Subject
for
his
Royal
Sovereign
,
O
King
live
for
ever
.
Before
I
proceed
to
the
handling
of
these
word
,
which
consist
of
-
A
Royal
Compellation
,
O
King
;
and
-
A
Loyal
Precation
,
Live
for
ever
:
it
will
be
necessary
for
the
clearer
illustration
of
them
to
shew
,
-
1.
Who
it
was
that
made
this
Prayer
;
and
,
-
2.
For
whom
it
was
that
he
made
it
.
1.
The
person
that
gave
this
Royal
Title
,
O
King
;
and
this
Loyal
Prayer
,
Live
for
ever
,
was
one
of
Gods
holy
Prophets
;
one
who
though
he
stand
ranked
but
in
the
head
of
the
minor
Prophets
,
was
one
of
the
greatest
of
Prophets
,
and
holiest
of
Men
,
viz.
Daniel
,
Then
said
Daniel
,
O
King
,
live
for
ever
.
Though
being
a
Prophet
of
God
,
and
inspired
by
his
Spirit
to
write
what
he
did
write
,
the
Testimony
which
he
gives
of
himself
be
true
;
and
we
may
well
believe
that
Daniel
was
a
man
highly
favoured
and
beloved
of
God
,
because
we
find
it
thrice
so
written
in
this
Book
of
his
Prophesie
;
yet
to
confirm
this
we
have
the
Testimony
of
his
Contemporary
the
Prophet
Ezekiel
,
who
in
his
14th
.
Chap.
thrice
gives
him
the
2d
.
place
among
the
three
darling
and
choicely
beloved
ones
of
God
,
and
tells
us
there
of
Noah
,
Daniel
,
and
Job
,
that
they
were
men
above
all
others
most
highly
favoured
of
God
and
most
prevalent
with
him
.
And
the
precedency
in
his
favour
,
which
God
gave
this
our
Prophet
,
above
the
rest
of
his
Fellows
,
appears
most
plainly
by
the
precedency
which
he
gave
him
of
them
all
,
in
Prophecy
and
Revelations
.
The
Revelations
and
Prophesies
of
the
other
Prophets
,
were
limited
as
both
to
place
and
time
.
They
extended
no
further
than
the
Jewish
nation
,
or
those
that
bordered
about
them
,
and
were
their
oppressours
,
nor
much
beyond
the
time
of
Christ's
appearing
in
the
flesh
.
But
the
Prophesies
and
Revelations
of
our
Prophet
Daniel
,
were
neither
limited
by
place
or
time
:
They
extended
to
all
parts
of
the
World
,
and
God
was
pleased
to
shew
unto
him
,
the
rise
and
fall
of
the
Monarchys
and
Empires
thereof
,
and
they
reach
as
far
as
the
the
end
of
time
it self
.
And
he
not
only
speaks
of
Christs
appearing
in
the
flesh
in
weakness
and
humility
,
Ch.
9.
26.
But
also
of
his
second
coming
in
power
and
great
glory
with
myriads
of
Angels
to
judge
the
world
,
Ch.
7.
10.
But
this
our
Prophet
hath
not
only
for
the
Theory
and
the
enlighting
of
our
heads
,
revealed
unto
us
in
his
Writings
,
many
an
high
and
deep
mystery
:
But
he
hath
here
also
,
for
our
practice
,
and
the
ordering
of
our
hands
,
given
us
in
his
life
and
conversation
,
many
an
excellent
pattern
of
vertue
and
piety
:
I
could
commend
to
your
imitation
,
1.
The
great
temperance
and
sobriety
which
he
shew'd
in
refusing
to
feed
on
the
Kings
dainty
dishes
,
and
contenting
himself
only
with
a
Mess
of
homely
pulse
.
Ch.
1.
2.
The
great
humility
and
self-denial
which
he
shewed
,
in
relying
not
on
his
own
wit
and
knowledge
,
but
by
applying
himself
unto
God
for
ability
,
to
reveal
unto
King
Nebucchadnezar
his
fleeting
and
vanished
dream
,
Ch.
2.
3.
The
great
fidelity
and
Heroick
courage
which
he
shewed
in
the
execution
of
his
Prophetical-office
,
by
his
fearless
delivering
of
Gods
Message
,
unto
two
of
the
greatest
Monarchs
in
the
World
,
Nebucchadnezar
,
Ch.
4.
and
his
son
Belshazar
,
Ch.
5.
4.
The
great
zeal
and
piety
which
he
shewed
in
making
an
open
profession
of
the
true
religion
,
and
worship
of
God
,
when
it
was
no
less
then
a
mans
life
was
worth
,
to
be
seen
adoring
any
one
,
but
an
earthly
King
,
about
the
middle
of
this
6
Ch.
But
because
▪
it
is
most
seasonable
and
suits
best
with
the
time
,
I
shall
only
now
commend
to
your
imitation
,
the
great
Loyalty
,
and
obedience
which
he
shewed
unto
his
King
;
manifested
by
his
behaviour
,
toward
two
of
the
Assyrian
,
and
two
of
the
Persian
Monarchs
.
No
Native
of
Chaldea
,
no
natural
born
Subject
of
the
Babylonian
Monarchs
:
But
a
Captive
of
Judea
,
one
of
the
Kings
seed
there
,
was
Daniel
.
And
yet
because
God
who
translateth
Kingdoms
,
had
made
Nebuchadnezzar
his
King
by
Conquest
;
and
he
was
carried
from
Judea
to
live
in
Chaldea
;
he
acknowledgeth
him
for
his
lawful
Soveraign
,
behaves
himself
most
loyaly
,
and
dutifully
,
both
towards
him
,
and
his
Son
Belshazar
.
Gives
them
both
their
due
title
of
honor
and
Majesty
calls
them
both
O
King
,
reveals
unto
the
one
his
obscure
Dream
,
Ch.
2.
and
reads
unto
the
other
the
fatal
hand-writing
on
the
Wall
,
Ch.
5.
and
was
by
both
highly
honoured
and
rewarded
.
And
as
he
behaved
himself
most
loyaly
and
obediently
towards
the
Chaldean
Monarchies
:
So
when
the
Most-High
who
ruleth
in
the
Kingdomes
of
men
,
and
giveth
them
to
whomsoever
he
will
,
had
translated
the
Monarchy
of
the
World
,
from
the
Assyrians
and
Chaldeans
to
the
Medes
and
Persians
;
when
Belshazar
was
slain
,
and
Darius
the
Mede
had
taken
on
him
the
Kingdom
,
he
became
and
remains
a
loyal
Subject
to
him
,
and
to
his
Son
in
Law
,
and
Successor
,
Cyrus
the
Persian
:
give
King
Darius
he
doth
here
in
my
text
his
due
title
of
honour
and
Majesty
,
calls
him
O
King
,
wisheth
him
long
life
and
prosperity
,
and
prays
that
he
may
live
for
ever
.
And
this
will
lead
me
from
speaking
of
the
person
that
gave
this
title
,
and
made
this
prayer
,
Daniel
the
Prophet
,
to
speak
of
the
person
,
unto
whom
he
gave
this
title
O
King
,
and
for
whom
he
made
this
prayer
,
Live
for
ever
,
King
Darius
.
Then
said
Daniel
unto
the
King
,
even
unto
King
Darius
,
O
King
live
for
ever
.
My
description
of
King
Darius
I
will
not
fetch
from
out
of
the
book
of
the
Chronicles
of
the
Medes
and
Persians
,
but
shall
confine
my self
within
the
limits
of
what
I
find
written
of
him
here
in
this
Sacred
book
of
Scripture
.
And
here
I
find
him
set
forth
in
a
fourfold
condition
and
quality
.
The
particular
view
of
each
of
which
will
mightily
heighten
the
Loyalty
and
Obedience
of
holy
Daniel
towards
him
.
1.
The
first
condition
wherein
we
find
King
Darius
here
set
forth
unto
us
,
is
the
condition
of
an
Ethnick
or
Heathen
Prince
.
No
true
Israelite
,
one
born
within
the
Covenant
of
grace
,
but
an
Alien
from
the
Commonwealth
of
Israel
,
an
utter
stranger
to
the
Church
of
God
,
was
King
Darius
:
for
he
was
a
Mede
,
Ch.
5.
ult
.
't
is
a
fanatique
and
brainsick
fancy
to
Imagine
,
that
grace
and
salvation
gives
a
just
title
to
temporal
power
and
dominion
:
I
am
sure
the
author
of
grace
,
and
salvation
,
our
blessed
Saviour
himself
,
hath
taught
us
otherwise
.
His
Kingdom
,
as
he
tells
us
,
John
18.
36.
was
not
of
this
world
,
nor
came
he
into
the
world
to
confound
,
and
overthrow
,
but
to
confirm
and
establish
Civil
Government
.
Acknowledge
he
did
the
Sovereignty
of
Caesar
over
him
,
and
paid
him
Tribute
,
Mat
.
17.
ult
.
Submit
he
did
to
the
Judgment
of
his
Deputy
Pilate
▪
and
acknowledge
he
did
that
the
power
he
had
over
him
,
was
given
him
from
Heaven
,
John
19.
11.
And
enjoyned
he
hath
all
his
Followers
and
Disciples
,
Mat
.
22.
21.
to
be
Loyal
Subjects
;
To
give
unto
Cesar
the
things
that
are
Cesar's
.
Under
pretence
of
seeking
to
advance
Christs
Kingdom
,
and
to
set
him
on
his
Throne
:
To
rise
up
in
Rebellion
against
Kings
,
and
to
go
about
to
Dethrone
and
Depose
them
,
is
direct
contrary
both
to
the
Precepts
and
Practise
of
Christ
,
is
a
most
Antichristian
Principle
and
Practice
:
The
very
Doctrine
and
doing
of
Devils
.
And
it
is
not
assuredly
the
good
Spirit
of
God
;
but
the
evil
Spirit
,
Lucifer
himself
,
he
who
was
the
first
Rebel
,
that
is
still
the
inspirer
,
stirrer
up
and
Patron
of
all
Rebels
.
Dominion
and
Sovereignty
(
as
saith
a
Reverend
Prelate
of
our
Church
)
are
the
Ordinances
of
God
,
not
Bp.
Brownrig
.
as
he
is
the
Author
of
Grace
and
Redeemer
of
his
Church
,
but
as
he
is
the
Author
of
Mankind
,
and
Governour
of
the
World
.
And
the
Authority
of
Magistrates
is
not
a
Mystery
of
the
Gospel
,
but
an
appointment
of
God
by
his
general
Providence
.
The
duty
of
Children
to
Parents
;
of
Servants
to
Masters
;
of
Subjects
to
Sovereigns
,
is
not
a
consequent
of
Christianity
,
but
a
Principle
of
Nature
,
and
a
Law
of
Nations
,
confirmed
indeed
by
God
in
the
Law
,
and
by
Christ
in
the
Gospel
;
but
not
there
first
founded
and
established
:
For
there
were
Parents
and
Masters
,
and
Kings
in
the
World
,
before
the
Law
was
given
upon
Mount
Sinai
,
or
the
Gospel
Published
from
Mount
Sion
.
A
Christian
Child
cannot
cast
off
his
Duty
and
Obedience
to
his
Father
,
though
he
be
an
Heathen
or
an
Infidel
;
but
is
bound
not
only
by
the
Law
of
God
,
but
even
by
the
Law
of
Nature
and
Nations
to
honour
and
obey
him
.
A
Christian
Servant
cannot
shake
off
his
Yoke
and
Servitude
,
though
his
Master
be
an
Unbeliever
;
but
is
bound
not
only
by
the
Law
of
God
,
1
Tim
.
6.
but
even
by
the
very
Law
of
Nature
and
Nations
to
do
him
service
.
Christian
Subjects
cannot
deny
Obedience
and
Submission
to
their
Lawful
Sovereigns
,
though
they
be
Infidels
and
Heathen
;
but
are
bound
,
not
only
by
the
Law
of
God
,
Rom.
13.
1.
but
even
by
the
very
Law
of
Nature
and
Nations
to
obey
and
pay
them
Tribute
.
My
Christian
Bretheren
,
It
is
not
safe
for
you
in
this
case
,
to
trust
to
the
Ear
,
and
listen
to
what
the
Factious
and
Seditious
Spirits
of
this
our
Age
tell
you
.
And
if
you
will
be
kept
safe
from
the
horrid
Sin
of
Rebellion
,
you
must
employ
a
surer
sense
.
Open
your
Eyes
,
look
into
the
Scriptures
,
and
see
what
the
Saints
and
Holy
Men
of
God
have
done
in
time
past
.
And
if
with
the
Noble
Bereans
,
you
give
your selves
to
the
search
of
them
,
you
will
find
the
Prophets
,
Jeremy
,
Ezechiel
,
Daniel
in
the
Old
Testament
:
Christ
himself
,
St.
Paul
,
St.
Peter
,
and
all
the
Apostles
and
Primitive
Christians
in
the
New
,
not
casting
off
their
Obedience
to
their
Lawful
Sovereigns
,
because
they
were
not
Believers
,
and
within
the
Covenant
of
Grace
;
but
honouring
,
obeying
and
praying
for
them
,
though
they
were
Heathen
Men
and
Infidels
.
As
an
Heathen
and
Ethnick
Prince
is
King
Darius
here
first
set
forth
unto
us
.
2.
The
second
is
,
that
he
was
an
utter
Enemy
unto
,
and
a
Persecutor
of
,
the
Church
and
chosen
people
of
God
.
Not
onely
an
Alien
from
the
Commonwealth
of
Israel
,
but
an
utter
Enemy
unto
it
;
one
that
kept
Gods
People
in
bondage
and
captivity
,
was
King
Darius
:
and
yet
for
all
this
he
is
acknowledged
by
holy
Daniel
for
his
lawful
Sovereign
,
honoured
of
him
,
and
prayed
for
by
him
.
And
this
will
teach
us
(
quite
contrary
to
the
Doctrine
of
the
Conclave
and
the
Classes
)
▪
That
Fidelity
and
Obedience
is
due
from
Christians
to
their
Lawful
Sovereigns
,
though
they
prove
Oppressors
of
them
;
load
them
with
heavy
Burdens
and
Taxes
,
and
keep
them
in
Bondage
and
Slavery
.
The
Prophet
Jeremy
exhorts
the
Jews
in
their
Captivity
to
submit
to
the
Yoke
of
the
King
of
Babylon
:
To
study
the
Peace
of
his
Government
,
and
to
pray
for
the
life
of
him
and
his
Sons
,
Jer
.

Baruch

The
Apostle
St.
Paul
exhorts
the
Christians
at
Rome
to
be
subject
to
the
Roman
Emperours
,
though
they
were
Tyrants
and
Persecutors
;
Let
every
Soul
be
subject
to
the
Higher
Powers
,
says
he
,
Rom.

and
he
forbids
them
there
,
Vers
.
2.
under
no
less
penalty
than
Damnation
,
to
rise
up
against
them
,
or
resist
them
.
The
person
plac'd
in
Authority
over
us
,
may
be
an
evil
man
;
yet
is
not
his
Authority
an
evil
,
but
a
good
thing
;
the
Ordinance
of
God
,
says
St.
Paul
,
and
therefore
propter
Deum
,
for
Gods
sake
;
because
he
hath
put
his
Vizard
on
him
,
and
made
him
his
Representative
here
on
Earth
,
he
is
to
be
honoured
,
obeyed
and
supported
,
and
in
no
case
to
be
risen
up
against
and
resisted
.
Daniel
,
Ezechiel
and
the
Captivated
Jews
honoured
,
obeyed
and
prayed
for
the
Assyrian
and
Persian
Monarchs
,
who
kept
them
in
Bondage
and
Captivity
.
The
Apostles
and
Primitive
Christians
honoured
,
obeyed
and
prayed
for
the
Roman
Emperours
,
who
persecuted
them
unto
death
,
and
spilt
their
bloud
like
water
.
And
thus
must
we
do
,
and
their
Example
must
we
follow
;
if
we
will
manifest
our selves
to
be
true
Christians
,
and
such
who
are
followers
of
them
who
through
Faith
and
Patience
have
inherited
the
Promises
;
if
God
be
pleased
to
set
such
Rulers
over
us
.
As
a
Persecutor
and
Oppressor
of
the
Church
of
God
is
King
Darius
,
in
the
Second
place
,
here
set
forth
unto
us
.
In
the
Third
he
is
set
forth
as
a
setter
up
of
a
false
Religion
,
and
one
that
went
about
to
compel
his
Subjects
to
Idolatry
.
Forbid
he
did
by
Publick
Edict
,
the
Religious
Worship
of
God
,
and
made
a
Decree
,
that
Whosoever
should
ask
any
Petition
of
God
or
Man
,
for
the
space
of
thirty
days
,
save
of
him
only
,
should
be
cast
into
the
Den
of
Lions
;
and
yet
notwithstanding
all
this
,
the
holy
Prophet
Daniel
acknowledged
him
for
his
King
and
Sovereign
,
honours
and
prays
for
him
.
The
Papists
may
teach
us
out
of
their
Cannons
and
Decretals
;
and
Presbyters
out
of
their
holy
Covenant
,
That
Kings
and
Princes
are
no
farther
to
be
honoured
,
obeyed
and
prayed
for
by
the
Subjects
than
they
obey
God
,
and
are
Professors
and
Defenders
of
the
true
Religion
;
but
the
Sacred
Scriptures
teach
us
otherwise
,
and
do
not
exempt
us
from
obedience
to
our
Lawful
Sovereigns
;
no
,
not
when
they
make
evil
Laws
,
deface
Gods
Worship
,
and
endeavour
to
force
men
to
Idola●ry
.
Indeed
active
and
actual
obedience
to
the
unjust
Decrees
of
our
Kings
and
Princes
we
may
not
,
we
must
not
give
;
for
this
were
to
prefer
Men
in
our
actual
obedience
before
God
,
to
submit
to
them
,
and
rebel
against
him
,
directly
to
cross
the
precepts
and
practice
of
our
brave
Leaders
the
blessed
Apostles
,
Acts
5.
29.
And
verily
,
in
evil
and
impious
Commands
,
they
obey
the
King
best
that
disobey
him
most
;
and
are
his
best
Subjects
,
who
are
least
obsequious
to
him
.
King
Saul's
Souldiers
,
who
in
1
Sam
.
22.
refused
upon
his
Command
to
slay
the
Priest
of
the
Lord
,
were
better
Subjects
,
and
shewed
greater
love
and
Loyalty
toward
him
than
did
Doeg
the
Edomite
,
who
by
his
ready
obeying
his
Command
,
drew
on
his
Head
the
guilt
of
innocent
bloud
.
And
King
Herod's
Courtiers
,
Acts
12.
who
flattered
and
cry'd
him
up
for
a
God
,
were
the
worst
of
Traitors
,
and
occasioned
his
miserable
death
and
destruction
.
But
though
we
may
not
perform
the
unlawful
Commands
of
our
lawful
Sovereigns
;
yet
professions
and
protestations
of
Subjection
and
Submission
we
must
still
make
them
,
and
with
patience
,
suffer
we
must
,
what
they
shall
be
pleased
to
inflict
on
us
;
when
we
find
,
that
we
cannot
with
a
good
Conscience
,
and
with
the
salving
of
our
obedience
unto
God
,
perform
what
they
command
.
Holy
Daniel
here
refuseth
upon
the
Command
of
the
King
to
make
an
Idol
of
him
,
and
to
pray
unto
him
,
but
yet
still
acknowledged
him
for
his
Sovereign
,
continues
Loyal
to
him
,
and
ceaseth
not
to
pray
for
him
,
and
patiently
,
without
any
resistance
,
doth
he
submit
to
the
punishment
he
was
pleased
to
inflict
on
him
.
In
like
manner
the
Primitive
Christians
refused
to
burn
Incense
to
the
Roman
Emperours
,
or
to
swear
by
their
Genius
▪
but
yet
,
pray
they
did
for
the
success
of
their
Armies
,
peace
of
their
Empire
,
and
the
safety
of
their
Persons
,
and
patiently
,
without
the
least
shew
of
resistance
(
when
sufficiently
armed
with
defence
)
permitted
they
themselves
to
be
cut
in
pieces
by
them
.
When
God
stirs
up
the
Spirit
of
Princes
to
make
good
Laws
,
he
doth
it
St.
Augustine
saith
,
for
the
Reformation
of
those
that
are
evil
,
an
when
he
permits
them
to
make
evil
Laws
,
he
doth
it
for
the
probation
and
tryal
of
those
that
are
good
;
and
unless
God
did
sometimes
permit
Princes
to
make
evil
Laws
,
to
publish
Decrees
against
his
Sacred
Worship
,
how
should
his
True
Worshippers
,
such
as
are
sincere
in
his
Service
,
be
known
and
distinguished
from
other
Men
?
and
therefore
as
St.
Paul
said
of
Heresies
,
1
Cor
.
11.
19.
we
may
say
of
evil
Princes
,
oportet
esse
,
they
must
be
;
otherwife
how
shall
Gods
true
and
faithful
Servants
be
approved
and
manifested
?
If
there
had
been
no
Persecutors
of
the
Church
,
there
had
never
been
any
Martyrs
in
the
Church
.
Men
that
Arm
themselves
with
Swords
and
Guns
to
oppose
and
make
resistance
against
the
unlawful
Decrees
of
their
lawful
Sovereigns
,
may
talk
much
of
the
Protestant
Religion
,
and
boast
of
their
great
zeal
towards
it
;
I
am
sure
the
truly
Antient
,
Catholick
,
Christian
Religion
allows
Subjects
to
make
use
of
no
other
Weapons
against
their
lawful
Sovereigns
than
Prayers
,
Tears
and
Patience
;
and
their
Religion
(
whatever
they
call
it
)
is
not
the
Christian
Religion
,
will
not
bring
them
where
Christ
is
,
and
to
Reign
with
him
,
unless
it
teach
them
to
do
as
Christ
did
,
even
patiently
to
suffer
for
well
doing
.
As
the
setter
up
of
the
false
Religion
and
a
compeller
of
his
Subjects
to
Idolatry
,
is
King
Darius
,
in
the
Third
place
here
set
forth
unto
us
.
And
,
In
the
Fourth
,
As
the
Author
and
Commander
of
Daniel's
Death
and
Destruction
.
Daniel
being
for
his
Wisdom
,
and
the
excellent
Spirit
that
was
found
in
him
,
preferred
by
the
King
to
be
one
of
the
Three
Presidents
of
the
Kingdom
.
He
is
by
his
Fellow
Presidents
and
the
rest
of
the
Princes
,
mightily
envied
,
and
because
they
could
not
fault
him
concerning
the
Affairs
of
the
Kingdom
,
which
he
managed
with
Prudence
,
Fidelity
and
Equity
,
they
(
knowing
him
to
be
a
Worshipper
of
the
true
God
)
resolve
to
make
a
snare
of
his
Religion
,
and
to
entrap
him
by
means
of
it
;
and
by
their
cunning
insinuations
and
flatteries
,
they
prevail
so
far
upon
the
King
,
that
they
perswade
him
to
make
a
Decree
,
That
whosoever
should
offer
any
petition
to
God
or
Man
,
for
the
space
of
thirty
days
,
save
of
the
King
only
,
he
should
be
cast
into
the
Den
of
Lions
,
Now
this
Decree
of
the
King
,
being
directly
opposite
to
Gods
Holy
Law
,
and
to
the
second
Commandment
,
(
wherein
God
hath
reserved
Religious
Worship
and
Adoration
solely
unto
himself
)
Daniel
refused
to
observe
:
And
contrary
unto
it
,
he
in
his
Chamber
,
with
the
Windows
open
toward
Jerusalem
,
three
times
a
day
,
after
his
wonted
custom
,
presented
his
Supplications
and
Prayers
unto
Almighty
God
;
for
which
being
accused
by
the
Princes
&
condemned
by
the
King
,
he
is
cast
into
the
Den
of
Lions
.
And
being
there
miraculously
preserved
of
God
,
he
doth
not
upon
his
coming
forth
of
it
,
complain
of
the
hard
measure
that
was
shewn
him
,
nor
of
the
great
injustice
that
was
done
unto
him
:
Doth
not
revile
the
King
,
and
charge
him
with
Tyrannies
and
Cruelties
,
but
owns
him
for
his
Sovereign
still
;
gives
him
his
due
title
of
Honour
,
calls
him
,
O
King
,
prays
for
his
Life
and
Prosperity
,
and
wisheth
that
he
may
live
for
ever
.
And
in
so
doing
he
hath
taught
us
,
that
no
wrongs
and
injuries
that
are
done
us
by
our
lawful
Sovereigns
,
can
exempt
and
discharge
us
from
that
Loyalty
and
Obedience
which
we
owe
unto
them
.
The
Israelites
when
oppressed
and
slain
by
King
Pharaoh
,
rebelled
not
against
him
.
David
when
persecuted
and
pursued
by
King
Saul
would
not
oppose
him
,
would
not
conspire
against
him
;
yea
refused
when
it
lay
in
his
power
to
take
his
life
from
him
.
Jeremy
when
abused
,
shackled
and
imprisonned
by
King
Zedekiah
,
would
not
revolt
from
him
,
and
fall
to
his
Enemies
the
Chaldeans
.
The
Primitive
Christians
when
Massacred
by
Thousands
,
and
cut
in
pieces
by
their
persecuting
Emperours
,
could
never
be
provoked
by
any
of
their
Cruelties
to
joyn
in
any
Conspiracy
or
Rebellion
against
them
,
but
always
prayed
for
them
,
and
wisht
them
good
success
.
When
wrongs
and
injuries
are
done
us
by
private
persons
,
we
may
safely
use
what
lawful
means
we
think
fit
to
right
our selves
;
but
when
Kings
,
armed
with
Power
and
Authority
from
Heaven
,
oppress
and
injure
us
,
we
must
not
unsheath
our
Swords
,
but
shew
sorth
our
Patience
,
and
learn
of
our
Master
Christ
Jesus
to
be
led
like
Seeep
to
the
Slaughter
.
It
is
not
bono
Regi
,
sed
Regi
:
not
to
Kings
that
are
good
and
gentle
,
and
rule
well
;
but
to
those
that
are
froward
and
evil
,
and
rule
ill
,
that
we
Christians
are
commanded
by
St.
Peter
,
1

to
be
subject
and
obedient
.
Evil
,
as
well
as
good
Princes
have
their
Kingdom
from
God
;
for
by
him
,
as
he
tells
us
,
Prov.

Kings

;
and
he

is

as
our
Prophet
Daniel
teacheth
us

that
translates
Kingdoms
,
and
gives
them
to
whomsoever
he
pleaseth
.
He
who
gave
the
Kingdom
of
Israel
to
David
,
that
good
and
pious
Prince
,
gave
it
also
to
Jeroboam
the
Son
of
Nebat
,
that
impious
and
prophane
one
.
He
who
gave
the
Roman
Empire
to
Augustus
,
that
sweet
and
merciful
Prince
,
gave
it
also
to
Nero
,
that
inhumane
Carnifex
,
and
Monster
of
Men
.
He
who
advanced
to
the
Emperial
Dignity
,
Constantine
the
most
Christian
Emperor
,
advanced
also
unto
it
,
Julian
that
damned
Apostate
from
the
Christian
Faith
:
And
therefore
propter
Deum
,
for
Gods
sake
,
because
the
Powers
that
be
,
are
ordained
of
him
,
because
he
hath
put
his
Vizard
upon
Kings
,
and
made
them
his
Representatives
here
on
Earth
,
are
they
to
be
honoured
and
obeyed
,
supported
and
prayed
for
by
their
Subjects
,
and
in
no
case
,
no
though
they
be
never
so
Tyrannical
or
Heretical
,
are
they
to
be
risen
up
against
,
or
resisted
by
their
Subjects
.
Kings
are
soli
Deo
minores
,
inferiour
to
none
but
God
,
have
no
Superiour
on
Earth
to
judge
or
depose
them
,
no
not
so
much
as
the
Pope
or
the
People
:
And
therefore
,
when
wronged
or
injured
by
them
,
we
have
no
other
way
of
appeal
;
▪
than
unto
him
,
who
is
higher
than
the
highest
,
and
with
Prayers
and
Tears
to
lay
open
our
Cause
before
God
.
And
in
no
other
Water
are
we
Christians
allowed
to
drown
a
Tyrant
,
than
in
the
Water
of
our
Eyes
;
nor
with
any
other
Fire
to
burn
an
Heretical
Prince
,
than
with
the
coales
of
kindness
,
heaped
on
his
head
:
And
this
,
this
,
as
saith
St.
Pet

is
truly
Christian
and
Thankworthy
;
when
men
for
Conscience
toward
God
,
and
because
they
will
not
be
found
guilty
of
resisting
his
Ordinance
,
endure
grief
,
suffering
wrongfully
.
Bonum

,
&
malum

,
to
do
good
chearfully
,
and
to
suffer
evil
patiently
,
est

Regium
,
a
truly
Kingly
Act
,
and
by
so
doing
,
subjects
will
in
the
end
,
with
Daniel
,
get
the
Conquest
and
Victory
over
their
Kings
.
You
have
seen
who
it
was
that
said
,
and
the
person
to
whom
it
was
said
,
O
King
live
for
ever
:
It
was
the
Prophet
Daniel
to
King
Darius
.
And
now
before
we
proceed
any
farther
,
let
us
make
a
brief
Application
of
what
hath
been
already
said
,
and
as
the
Apostle
phraseth
it
,
transfer
over
these
things
unto
our selves
.
1.
Did
the
Prophet
Daniel
honour
,
obey
and
pray
for
King
Darius
who
was
a
Heathen
Prince
,
and
an
Alien
from
the
Church
of
God
?
And
are
not
we
Christians
much
more
bound
to
honour
,
obey
,
and
pray
for
King
Charles
,
the
Restorer
of
the
true
Religion
,
and
the
Defender
of
the
true
Catholick
Faith
amongst
us
?
Did
he
say
unto
King
Darius
,
O
King
,
live
for
ever
;
and
are
not
we
much
more
bound
daily
and
hourly
to
pray
unto
God
,
that
our
King
Charles
may
live
for
ever
?
2.
Did
Daniel
honour
and
pray
for
King
Darius
,
who
was
an
Oppressor
and
Persecutor
of
Gods
People
;
one
that
kept
them
in
bondage
and
slavery
?
And
are
not
we
much
more
bound
to
honour
,
obey
,
and
pray
for
our
King
Charles
,
who
hath
been
under
God
the
Restorer
of
our
Liberty
,
the
Healer
of
our
Breaches
,
the
Repairer
of
our
Ruines
;
one
who
hath
f●eed
us
from
the
greatest
bondage
and
slavery
that
ever
people
groaned
under
?
Did
he
say
unto
King
Darius
,
O
King
,
live
for
ever
;
and
shall
not
we
much
more
pray
for
our
King
Charles
,
that
he
may
live
for
ever
?
3.
Did
Daniel
honour
,
obey
,
and
pray
for
King
Darius
,
who
made
evil
Laws
,
and
endeavoured
by
his
evil
Edicts
to
compell
him
,
and
the
rest
of
his
Subjects
unto
Idolatry
;
and
are
not
we
much
more
bound
to
honour
,
obey
,
and
pray
for
our
King
Charles
,
who
doth
not
exercise
an
arbitrary
authority
over
us
,
but
rules
himself
and
us
by
those
very
Laws
which
we
our selves
have
made
and
consented
unto
,
and
doth
not
command
us
from
;
but
unto
the
Service
of
God
?
Did
he
say
,
O
King
,
live
for
ever
;
and
shall
not
we
ever
pray
,
that
our
King
Charles
may
live
for
ever
.
4.
Did
holy
Daniel
honour
and
pray
for
King
Darius
,
who
exercised
great
injustice
and
cruelty
upon
him
in
particular
,
and
commanded
him
for
his
syncere
serving
God
to
be
cast
into
the
Den
of
Lions
;
and
are
not
we
much
more
bound
to
honour
,
obey
,
and
pray
for
our
King
Charles
,
who
hath
not
wronged
nor
injured
any
one
of
us
,
but
hath
protected
us
all
in
our
just
Rights
and
Liberties
;
and
who
may
truly
and
justly
make
the
same
Challenge
amongst
us
,
that
aged
Samuel
made
among
the
Israelites
,
1
Sam
.
12.
3.
Behold
here
I
am
,
witness
against
me
whose
Ox
have
I
taken
,
or
Ass
have
I
taken
,
or
whom
have
I
oppressed
or
defrauded
,
&c.
Did
he
say
unto
King
Darius
,
O
King
,
live
for
ever
;
and
shall
not
we
daily
and
hourly
pray
unto
God
,
that
our
King
Charles
may
live
for
ever
?
I
have
done
with
persons
concerned
in
this
Compellation
,
O
King
;
and
in
this
Precation
,
Live
for
ever
.
I
take
my
leave
of
King
Darius
and
the
Prophet
Daniel
,
and
I
pass
now
to
speak
something
in
brief
of
the
Title
it self
,
and
of
the
Prayer
.
And
,
1.
Of
the
Title
or
Compellation
,
O
King
.
Titles
of
Honour
and
Acts
of
Reverence
are
debts
and
duties
which
Subjects
owe
,
and
must
readily
pay
unto
their
Sovereigns
.
The
Dignity
of
a
King
is
a
kind
of
Divinity
;
and
as
God
sometimes
takes
unto
himself
their
Title
,
and
calls
himself
a
King
;
so
doth
he
sometimes
impart
unto
them
his
Title
,
and
calls
them
Gods
;
I
have
said
ye
are
Gods
,
saith
he
of
Kings
and
Princes
,
Psal
.
82.
6.
Kings
and
Princes
are
Gods
,
though
not
by
nature
,
yet
by
office
;
for
they
are
Gods
Vicegerents
,
and
represent
his
person
here
on
earth
.
The
very
Heathen
called
their
King
Imago
Dei
,
the
Image
of
God
;
and
oft
in
Scripture
are
Kings
termed
The
Lords
Anointed
,
to
teach
us
that
God
hath
a
more
particular
Interest
in
them
,
than
he
hath
in
other
men
.
Many
in
these
our
evil
and
licentious
times
take
unto
themselves
,
(
the
more
is
their
shame
)
a
wretched
liberty
to
speak
evil
of
Dignities
;
and
it
is
meat
and
drink
to
the
factious
and
seditious
Spirits
of
our
Age
▪
to
discourse
over
their
Pots
and
their
Pipes
▪
of
the
faults
and
failings
of
their
King
.
But
beware
,
my
Brethren
,
that
you
cast
not
in
your
lot
among
them
,
and
be
partakers
with
them
in
this
evil
deed
;
for
it
is
written
Exod
.
22.
28.
Thou
shalt
not
revile
thy
God
,
nor
speak
evil
of
the
Ruler
of
thy
people
.
Is
it
fit
as
Elihu
the
Basire
demands
,
Job
34.
18.
to
say
unto
a
King
,
Thou
art
wicked
,
or
to
Princes
,
You
are
ungodly
?
It
is
no
way
fit
sure
,
but
deserves
a
most
severe
Censure
and
Punishment
.
Kings
have
no
Superiour
here
on
earth
,
and
therefore
cannot
be
arraigned
and
judged
for
their
faults
by
any
,
but
by
their
superior
Lord
in
Heaven
;
who
to
keep
them
within
their
due
limits
,
hath
threatned
them
(
Esay
30.
ult
.
)
with
a
Tophet
he
hath
prepared
for
them
.
Kings
are
not
to
be
thought
on
,
are
not
to
be
look'd
on
,
are
not
to
be
spoken
of
or
unto
as
mere
men
,
but
as
the
Vicegerents
,
the
magnificent
Representatives
of
Almighty
God
.
Honoured
they
are
to
be
next
unto
God
,
and
as
persons
inferiour
to
none
but
God
.
And
if
you
please
to
search
and
observe
the
Scriptures
,
you
will
find
the
like
reverence
and
respect
required
of
Man
,
to
be
given
unto
the
King
as
unto
God
.
Fear
God
and
the
King
,
saith
the
Wiseman
,
Prov.
24.
21.
Fear
God
,
honour
the
King
,
saith
the
Apostle
S.
Peter
,
1
Epist.
2.
17.
And
though
the
Bill
of
Naboths
Indictment
(
1
Kings
21.
)
was
badly
proved
,
yet
it
was
well
enough
drawn
sure
;
Naboth
did
blaspheme
God
and
the
King
,
for
a
man
may
as
well
be
guilty
of
Blasphemy
in
speaking
evil
of
the
King
,
as
in
speaking
evil
of
God
,
whose
Vicegerent
he
is
and
whose
person
he
represents
.
And
the
Apostle
S.
Peter
in
his
second
Epist.
2.
10.
hath
pointed
out
such
men
unto
us
to
be
ungodly
men
,
and
heirs
of
damnation
;
such
as
are
reserved
unto
the
day
of
Judgment
to
be
punished
;
who
despise
Dominion
,
and
are
not
afraid
to
blaspheme
and
speak
evil
of
Dignities
.
That
then
,
my
Brethren
,
you
may
manifest
your selves
to
be
true
Christians
▪
and
Loyal
Subjects
,
Heirs
of
Salvation
and
not
of
Damnation
;
learn
(
I
pray
)
of
holy
Daniel
to
honour
and
reverence
the
King
;
and
though
when
you
speak
to
him
or
of
him
,
you
call
him
not
Stylo
Chaldaico
,
O
King
;
yet
call
him
Stylo
Anglicano
,
either
Gracious
Lord
,
or
Royal
Sovereign
,
or
Sacred
Majesty
.
And
as
we
must
here
in
the
first
place
learn
of
holy
Daniel
,
to
give
Titles
of
Honour
and
Reverence
unto
our
King
;
so
in
the
second
place
,
2.
We
must
learn
to
send
up
our
Supplications
and
Prayers
unto
the
King
of
Kings
,
for
the
safety
and
prosperity
of
our
King
,
and
to
pray
with
him
,
O
King
,
live
for
ever
.
The
duty
indeed
it
is
of
us
Christians
to
pray
for
all
men
,
but
to
pray
for
Kings
and
such
as
are
in
Authority
,
is
,
as
S.
Paul
teacheth
,
1
Tim
.
2.
13.
Our
principal
and
especial
duty
;
for
Kings
above
all
others
,
stand
most
in
need
of
our
prayers
,
as
being
persons
most
exposed
to
temptations
,
and
dangers
,
and
therefore
for
our
King
doth
our
mother
the
Church
of
England
enjoyn
us
in
her
Liturgy
,
to
pray
three
or
four
several
times
,
and
yet
in
so
doing
commits
no
Tautology
,
nor
makes
use
of
any
Idle
expressions
;
for
the
several
capacities
of
our
King
as
he
is
a
man
,
a
Christian
man
,
a
Magistrate
,
yea
,
our
supreme
magistrate
,
require
us
so
oft
to
pray
for
him
.
And
to
speak
nothing
but
truth
,
the
many
prayers
which
our
Liturgy
hath
in
it
for
the
King
,
is
none
of
the
least
causes
that
makes
it
so
disgustful
,
to
the
factious
and
seditious
spirits
that
are
amongst
us
;
and
it
is
no
less
than
a
miracle
to
find
one
that
is
,
or
hath
been
an
enemy
to
the
King
,
well
affected
toward
the
Liturgy
of
the
Church
.
To
make
solemn
supplications
and
prayers
for
,
and
to
wish
well
unto
their
King
,
hath
been
the
practice
of
Pious
and
Loyal
people
in
all
ages
:
And
great
need
sure
have
the
people
to
be
instant
and
always
to
pray
for
the
safety
and
prosperity
of
their
King
;
for
as
the
life
of
Old
Jacob
,
was
said
to
be
bound
up
in
the
life
of
Benjamin
;
so
the
happiness
and
felicity
of
the
people
consists
in
the
safety
and
prosperity
of
the
King
.
The
blessings
which
God
showrs
down
upon
the
King
,
are
like
the
oyntment
that
was
poured
upon
the
head
of
Aaron
;
they
stay
not
there
but
descend
from
him
unto
the
very
skirt
,
and
upon
the
lowest
of
his
people
;
and
if
God
be
pleased
to
bless
the
King
and
keep
him
safe
,
he
will
have
a
care
,
that
all
the
people
,
even
from
Dan
to
Beersheba
shall
live
in
safety
and
sit
quietly
every
man
under
his
own
vine
and
his
own
fig-tree
.
When
the
members
of
the
body
feed
the
belly
,
what
do
they
else
,
I
pray
,
but
feed
themselves
and
provide
for
their
own
strength
and
nourishment
?
so
when
subjects
pray
for
,
and
cheerfully
contribute
and
pay
tribute
towards
the
maintenance
and
support
of
their
King
;
what
do
they
else
I
pray
then
provide
for
the
safety
of
themselves
and
their
posterities
;
for
under
his
shadow
and
protection
it
is
that
they
sit
safe
,
both
from
Foreign
and
Domestick
foes
?
And
like
the
Ivy
tree
they
cannot
grow
and
prosper
,
without
the
support
of
this
Royal-oak
,
And
therefore
,
my
brethren
,
as
you
wish
well
to
your selves
and
your
posterity
,
to
your
Friends
,
to
your
Country
;
so
wish
well
unto
your
King
,
and
pray
as
Daniel
did
here
for
Darius
,
That
he
may
live
for
ever
.
But
is
not
this
prayer
,
you
will
perhaps
say
,
which
Daniel
made
for
King
Darius
,
and
you
now
advise
us
to
make
for
our
King
,
a
faithless
,
groundless
one
?
And
do
we
not
in
it
pray
for
what
we
cannot
hope
,
viz.
That
our
King
who
is
a
mortal
man
and
must
die
,
may
be
immortal
and
live
for
ever
,
Surely
this
prayer
is
not
only
of
a
Babylonish
stile
and
stamp
,
used
by
none
but
the
Subjects
of
the
Chaldean
and
Persian
Monarchs
,
but
it
bears
on
it
also
the
stamp
of
the
sanctuary
,
and
was
made
use
of
in
Jerusalem
,
by
Gods
own
people
;
And
as
Nehemiah
prayed
for
King
Artaxerxes
;
the
wise
▪
men
of
Babylon
for
King
Nebuchadnezzar
;
Daniel
here
for
King
Darius
prayed
;
Queen
Bathsheba
for
King
David
,
and
that
too
when
he
lay
on
his
death
bed
,
and
could
not
by
the
course
of
nature
live
many
days
longer
:
Let
my
Lord
King
David
Live
for
ever
(
saith
she
)
1.
King
1.
31.
And
it
is
a
Prayer
that
may
Faithfully
and
Piously
be
made
by
us
,
for
ou●
King
,
and
that
in
a
threefold
respect
and
sence
,
1
It
may
be
said
of
us
in
respect
of
our selves
and
present
happiness
▪
all
changes
in
Government
are
full
of
Peril
and
Danger
,
as
well
to
mens
Souls
and
Bodies
as
to
their
Goods
and
Estates
,
and
therefore
in
respect
of
our
own
good
and
happiness
,
we
may
safely
and
faithfully
pray
,
That
the
King
may
Love
for
ever
,
Live
for
ever
to
us
,
that
is
,
that
he
may
outlive
us
;
That
our
little
stars
may
all
go
down
,
before
the
setting
of
our
Glorious
Sun
,
that
our
small
candles
may
be
all
wasted
and
burnt
out
,
before
the
Great
Lamp
of
our
Israel
be
extinguished
.
2.
It
may
be
said
of
us
in
respect
of
our
Country
,
and
the
future
felicity
and
happiness
of
it
when
we
are
dead
and
gone
.
't
is
a
Maxim
in
our
law
,
That
the
King
never
dies
:
no
sooner
is
the
breath
out
of
the
nostrils
of
the
possessor
of
our
Crown
,
but
the
right
of
it
is
immediately
devolved
and
passed
over
upon
his
lawful
Heir
and
Successor
,
and
therefore
that
Kingly
Government
,
the
Government
under
which
our
Nation
hath
long
flourished
may
never
cease
amongst
us
,
we
may
safely
and
faithfully
pray
,
That
the
King
may
live
for
ever
;
Live
for
ever
to
our
Country
,
that
is
,
that
no
night
may
follow
the
setting
of
our
Sun
;
But
that
when
our
Moses
is
called
up
into
mount
Nebo
to
dye
,
a
Joshua
may
be
appointed
to
succeed
him
;
when
our
King
David
shall
be
gathered
unto
his
fathers
,
a
Solomon
may
be
set
upon
his
Throne
,
and
that
his
successor
may
be
the
Heir
of
his
Vertue
and
Piety
,
as
well
as
of
his
Crown
and
Dignity
.
And
indeed
Brethren
and
Country-men
,
prayer
is
the
only
lawful
means
,
that
we
may
make
use
of
in
the
case
of
succession
:
The
disposing
of
Kingdoms
,
and
the
setting
up
of
Kings
,
is
a
prerogative
which
the
King
of
Kings
claims
as
peculiar
onely
unto
himself
.
By
me
Kings
reign
,
saith
he
,
Prov.
8.
15.
He
it
is
,
as
it
is
written
D●●

25.
That
ruleth
in
the
Kingdom
of
men
,
and
giveth
it
unto
whomsoever
he
will
.
Surely
when
Subjects
in
hereditary
Kingdoms
take
upon
them
to
elect
Kings
,
and
presume
to
nominate
who
shall
be
next
Heir
to
the
Crown
,
they
traiterously
usurp
upon
the
Authority
Royal
of
Almighty
God
,
set
up
Kings
as
he
complains
,
Hos
.
8.

without
him
:
run
themselves
directly
into
the
same
crime
that
the
Israelites
did
,
1
King
.
13.
when
they
revolted
from
the
house
of
David
,
thrust
out
the
right
Heir
to
the
Crown
,
with
a
Nolumus
hunc
,
We
will
not
have
this
man
to
rule
over
us
:
And
will
(
't
is
sadly
to
be
feared
)
provoke
God
,
to
give
them
a
King
in
his
wrath
,
to
plague
them
with
a
Jerob●ham
indeed
;
to
set
up
such
a
King
over
them
,
as
will
withdraw
them
all
from
the
true
service
and
worship
of
God
at
Jerusalem
,
into
Idolatry
,
and
the
worshiping
of
the
golden
Calves
that
he
shall
set
up
at
Bethel
and
Dan
.
God
hath
hid
future
things
,
the
issue
of
to
morrow
in
the
dark
,
lockt
up
in
his
Cabinet
,
amongst
his
secret
things
,
as
well
the
date
of
Mans
days
,
as
all
things
that
shall
happen
after
,
this
very
minute
,
and
no
man
knows
what
shall
be
after
him
under
the
Sun
,
who
shall
be
his
own
Heir
,
and
succeed
him
in
his
Estate
,
much
less
who
shall
be
the
Kings
Heir
,
and
succeed
him
in
the
Throne
.
Men
may
get
Estates
,
but
it
is
God
that
makes
Heirs
unto
them
;
men
may
consult
and
presume
to
enact
who
shall
be
next
Heir
to
the
Crown
,
but
it
is
the
Counsel
of
the
Lord
that
shall
stand
;
and
he
shall
be
our
next
King
,
whom
he
shall
please
to
nominate
and
appoint
;
nor
should
we
suffer
doubtful
thoughts
to
arise
in
our
minds
,
despair
of
Gods
providence
,
and
care
for
us
,
and
run
our selves
into
seditious
and
traiterous
practices
,
because
the
next
Heir
to
our
Crown
,
and
the
visible
successor
of
our
sacred
Sovereign
,
is
said
to
be
seduced
and
drawn
away
from
the
true
faith
,
and
the
religion
that
is
profest
amongst
us
;
for
who
of
all
us
knows
whether
he
may
not
be
laid
in
his
grave
,
before
the
eyes
of
our
present
Royal
Sovereign
be
closed
?
and
who
amongst
us
can
tell
,
whether
when
God
alters
his
condition
and
makes
him
our
King
,
he
may
not
also
alter
his
mind
,
give
him
as
he
gave
Saul
when
he
made
him
King
,
1
Sam
.
10.

another
heart
.
All
I
say
brethren
that
we
have
to
do
in
this
case
,
is
to
praise
God
for
the
present
gracious
King
that
he
has
set
over
us
,
to
pray
for
his
long
life
and
prosperity
;
and
to
beseech
him
,
that
when
he
sees
fit
to
take
him
from
us
,
he
would
be
graciously
pleased
to
set
such
a
King
over
us
,
as
may
with
him
be
a
zealous
desender
of
his
true
faith
,
and
a
nursing
father
to
the
Church
;
a
supporter
and
pillar
of
the
state
,
and
one
that
will
govern
not
in
an
arbitrary
,
but
a
legal
way
,
and
secure
us
all
in
our
just
rights
and
liberties
;
and
let
us
quietly
permit
God
to
do
his
own
work
,
to
rule
in
the
Kingdom
of
men
,
and
to
give
it
to
whomsoever
he
will
,
and
with
patience
wait
the
event
.
This
Prayer
,
O
King
live
for
ever
,
may
safely
and
faithfully
be
made
of
us
in
respect
of
our
King
himself
.
Surely
the
soul
,
and
the
eternal
salvation
of
the
King
,
ought
to
be
as
dear
to
every
good
Subject
as
his
body
and
temporal
preservation
,
and
we
should
be
as
zealous
'
,
and
as
careful
,
to
obtain
a
Crown
of
Glory
hereafter
for
him
in
Heaven
,
as
to
keep
the
Crown
upon
his
head
here
on
earth
;
and
therefore
we
may
faithfully
and
piously
pray
that
our
King
may
live
for
ever
,
that
is
,
that
when
God
shall
be
pleased
to
put
an
end
to
his
days
,
he
may
change
his
temporal
Crown
into
an
eternal
one
,
and
from
reigning
over
men
on
earth
,
admit
him
to
reign
for
ever
with
himself
in
Heaven
.
To
pray
for
the
King
is
the
duty
of
every
good
Subject
;
but
so
to
do
is
the
most
especial
duty
of
those
that
are
payed
by
the
King
,
and
have
their
whole
livelihood
and
maintainance
from
him
:
such
must
know
that
it
is
their
duty
,
as
well
to
guard
the
King
and
the
Fortresses
of
his
Kingdom
,
with
their
spiritual
weapons
of
Faith
and
Prayer
,
as
with
their
carnal
ones
of
Pikes
and
Guns
;
and
when
the
Kings
Souldiers
▪
and
those
that
are
pay'd
by
him
,
are
not
employed
in
the
natural
Militia
,
and
in
the
guard-house
a
watching
for
the
defence
of
the
fortress
▪
which
he
hath
committed
unto
them
,
they
cannot
with
a
good
conscience
be
better
employ'd
,
than
in
betaking
themselves
to
the
Spiritual
Militia
,
and
in
repairing
to
the
Church
,
there
to
joyn
with
the
Congregation
,
in
praying
for
the
Safety
and
Preservation
of
the
King
.
And
they
have
large
consciences
sure
who
take
the
Kings
daily
pay
to
do
many
times
the
Devils
work
,
and
spend
more
time
in
the
tap-house
and
drinking
to
the
King
,
than
in
the
Temple
a
praying
for
him
;
and
I
am
right
sorry
that
I
am
enforced
to
complain
,
that
the
prayers
of
the
Church
which
are
here
daily
,
Morning
and
Evening
in
the
Church
,
made
for
the
King
,
are
so
far
from
being
acceptable
unto
those
that
are
here
maintained
by
the
King
,
that
they
swell
and
puff
at
them
;
and
heartily
wish
that
they
were
rid
of
the
busie
,
precise
,
pragmatical
Priest
that
useth
them
.
But
though
swaggering
and
swearing
Sword-men
boast
themselves
to
be
the
Kings
Life-guard
,
and
best
defence
against
his
Foes
;
yet
't
is
pious
and
praying
Churchmen
,
that
are
indeed
his
best
Life-guard
and
strongest
▪
Tower
of
Defence
.
Valiant
Souldiers
and
Sword-men
are
at
best
,
and
when
they
have
done
their
best
,
but
the
Infantry
and
Footmen
;
't
is
pious
Priests
and
praying
Churchmen
,
(
as
lightly
as
malepert
Souldiers
set
by
them
,
and
as
basely
as
they
esteem
them
)
that
make
up
the
Cavalry
,
are
(
as
termed
2
Kings
13.
14.
)
the
Chariots
of
Israel
,
and
the
Horsemen
thereof
;
the
principal
Militia
,
and
defence
of
King
and
Kingdom
.
And
I
will
be
bold
to
say
,
that
His
Majesty
hath
not
in
all
his
Dominions
a
stronger
Castle
or
Fortress
of
defence
against
his
Foes
,
than
is
the
Church
,
nor
any
better
Souldiers
than
those
Priests
,
that
to
their
watching
add
daily
praying
for
him
.
But
what
may
some
here
object
?
Will
you
blame
Souldiers
,
and
such
as
are
paid
by
the
King
,
for
neglecting
to
pray
for
the
King
?
Why
no
men
are
more
mindful
of
the
King
,
or
pray
oftener
for
him
than
they
do
?
They
seldom
drink
,
(
and
they
drink
many
of
them
God
knows
too
oft
)
but
they
drink
a
Health
to
the
King
,
and
pray
for
him
?
Surely
my
Warlike
Brethren
and
Sons
of
Mars
,
as
grim
and
big
as
you
look
,
I
am
not
afraid
to
tell
you
,
that
to
make
a
Taphouse
your
Temple
,
and
to
sacrifice
there
for
the
Life
of
your
King
to
the
Heathenish
and
drunken
God
Bacchus
;
and
in
the
mean
time
,
to
leave
the
Temple
of
the
living
God
,
the
Church
,
where
Prayers
are
daily
morning
and
evening
made
for
the
King
,
to
lie
naked
and
desolate
,
is
to
make
your selves
justly
guilty
of
what
Naboth
was
falsly
charged
withall
,
viz.
of
blaspheming
God
and
the
King
.
My
Brethren
,
I
am
not
so
Stoically
severe
,
as
to
deny
you
the
use
of
moderate
Refreshments
and
Recreations
,
especially
at
such
times
of
publick
joy
as
this
is
.
In
the
use
of
moderate
and
allowed
pleasures
no
man
can
lawfully
give
you
the
reins
further
than
I
will
;
and
if
you
will
but
keep
your selves
within
the
limits
of
Obedience
unto
your
Heavenly
King
,
and
have
a
care
that
you
abuse
not
him
by
intemperance
and
abuse
of
his
Creatures
,
by
Blasphemy
,
and
the
taking
of
his
Sacred
Name
in
vain
;
I
will
tell
you
,
that
you
cannot
be
on
this
day
too
expressive
of
your
joy
for
the
Restauration
of
your
Temporal
King
;
and
the
bodily
Pastimes
and
Merriments
which
you
at
this
time
use
,
will
not
at
all
be
prejudicial
to
your
Souls
,
nor
a
blemish
to
your
Religion
,
if
you
will
but
be
pleased
to
observe
in
them
these
few
short
Rules
,
and
have
a
care
,
-
1.
That
you
do
nothing
contrary
to
piety
and
the
glory
of
God
.
-
2.
That
you
do
nothing
contrary
to
Loyalty
and
the
Laws
of
the
King
.
-
3.
That
you
do
nothing
contrary
to
Sobriety
and
good
of
your selves
.
And
,
-
4.
That
you
do
nothing
contrary
to
Charity
and
good
of
your
Neighbour
.
Observe
but
these
few
short
Rules
,
and
you
may
safely
and
with
a
good
conscience
go
and
eat
the
Fat
,
and
drink
the
Sweet
,
and
use
on
this
day
any
of
Gods
good
creatures
for
your
comfort
and
solace
.
But
before
I
dismiss
you
to
your
temporal
Sports
and
Merriments
,
I
shall
desire
you
to
joyn
with
me
in
the
spiritual
duty
of
praying
for
the
long
life
,
safety
,
and
prosperity
of
the
King
.
I.
Let
us
pray
then
,
1.
Vivat
▪
Rex
,
Let
the
King
live
;
give
him
(
O
Lord
)
long
life
,
and
let
his
years
continue
unto
many
generations
;
let
him
abide
before
thee
for
ever
;
O
prepare
thy
loving
kindness
and
faithfulness
,
that
they
may
preserve
him
.
Amen
.
2.
Sit
felix
Rex
,
Let
the
King
prosper
and
have
good
success
in
all
his
undertakings
.
Give
strength
(
O
Lord
)
unto
the
King
,
and
exalt
the
horn
of
thine
Anointed
;
let
his
honour
be
great
in
thy
Salvation
,
Glory
and
great
Worship
do
you
lay
upon
him
;
give
him
everlasting
felicity
,
and
make
him
glad
with
the
joy
of
thy
countenance
.
Amen
.
3.
Sit
salvus
Rex
,
God
save
the
King
;
defend
(
O
Lord
)
thine
Anointed
,
and
keep
the
King
safe
from
all
the
Plots
and
Conspiracies
of
his
secret
Foes
,
and
from
all
the
assaults
and
attempts
of
his
open
Enemies
.
Let
the
Soul
of
my
Lord
the
King
be
bound
up
in
the
bundle
of
life
with
thee
(
O
Lord
;
)
but
as
for
the
Souls
of
his
Enemies
,
sling
them
all
out
as
out
of
the
middle
of
the
sling
;
cloath
them
all
(
O
Lord
)
with
shame
,
but
upon
himself
let
his
Crown
flourish
.
Amen
.
II
.
Let
us
pray
again
,
1.
Vivat
Rex
in
aeternum
,
Let
the
King
live
for
ever
,
live
for
ever
unto
us
;
may
he
(
O
Lord
)
outlive
us
all
,
and
let
none
of
our
glimmering
Stars
ever
see
the
setting
of
our
glorious
Sun
;
but
let
all
our
dim
Lights
be
put
out
,
all
our
Eyes
closed
,
before
the
bright
shining
Lamp
and
Candle
of
our
Israel
be
extinguished
and
put
out
.
Amen
.
2.
Again
let
us
pray
,
Vivat
Rex
in
aeternum
,
Let
the
King
live
for
ever
,
live
for
ever
to
our
Country
.
O
let
no
Twylight
of
Popular
Schisms
and
Factions
,
no
dark
night
of
Popish
Ignorance
and
Superstition
follow
the
setting
of
our
Sun
,
but
appoint
(
O
Lord
)
a
Joshua
to
succeed
our
Moses
,
when
he
is
called
up
to
Mount
Nebo
to
die
;
a
Solomon
to
sit
on
the
Throne
of
our
David
,
whenever
it
shall
please
thee
to
gather
him
to
his
Fathers
.
And
may
Kingly
Government
never
cease
in
our
Nation
,
may
our
Royal
Sovereign
never
want
an
Heir
of
his
Vertue
and
Piety
,
as
well
as
of
his
Crown
and
Dignity
,
till
Shiloh
come
again
,
and
all
Crowns
and
Scepters
be
laid
down
at
the
foot
of
the
Lamb
.
Amen
.
3.
Once
more
let
us
pray
,
Vivat
Rex
in
aeternum
,
Let
the
King
live
for
ever
,
live
for
ever
(
O
Lord
)
with
thee
in
Heaven
.
When
thou
art
pleased
to
put
an
end
to
his
Reign
here
on
earth
,
O
take
him
we
beseech
thee
to
reign
with
thee
for
ever
in
Heaven
;
and
turn
his
Crown
of
Gold
(
O
Lord
)
into
a
Crown
of
Glory
.
Amen
.
And
now
,
Lastly
,
unto
the
King
eternal
,
immortal
,
invisible
;
to
the
onely
wise
God
and
our
Saviour
Christ
Jesus
,
be
given
and
ascribed
as
most
due
,
all
Glory
,
Honour
,
Power
,
Might
,
Majesty
and
Dominion
,
now
and
for
ever
more
.
Amen
.
FINIS
