requisite_a in_o he_o that_o be_v to_o govern_v and_o who_o be_v thus_o a_o minister_n of_o god_n for_o the_o good_a of_o the_o people_n be_v that_o he_o ought_v to_o be_v know_v of_o the_o will_n of_o god_n out_o of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o that_o he_o ought_v to_o have_v the_o fear_n of_o god_n settle_v in_o his_o heart_n that_o that_o be_v necessary_a you_o may_v see_v how_o the_o king_n be_v command_v in_o deuteronomy_n to_o write_v out_o the_o law_n of_o god_n himself_o with_o his_o own_o hand_n notwithstanding_o all_o his_o public_a employment_n that_o so_o he_o may_v be_v understanding_n of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o acquaint_v with_o it_o nay_o and_o not_o only_o to_o know_v it_o but_o if_o he_o do_v err_v that_o he_o be_v willing_a to_o be_v reprooved_a and_o

rather_o than_o i_o shall_v once_o offend_v against_o god_n and_o as_o he_o be_v to_o have_v the_o fear_n of_o god_n in_o his_o heart_n and_o the_o knowledge_n of_o god_n out_o of_o his_o word_n so_o

for_o the_o commonwealth_n and_o the_o commonwealth_n be_v not_o for_o they_o and_o so_o they_o ought_v to_o labour_v for_o a_o public_a heart_n and_o a_o public_a spirit_n my_o part_n they_o be_v the_o commonwealth_n my_o power_n it_o be_v the_o commonwealth_n my_o time_n it_o be_v the_o commonwealth_n he_o ought_v to_o abhor_v all_o enrich_n of_o himself_o on_o the_o loss_n of_o the_o

you_o do_v as_o it_o be_v set_v to_o sea_n in_o the_o midst_n of_o a_o storm_n and_o of_o a_o tempest_n and_o therefore_o how_o much_o need_n have_v you_o to_o pray_v to_o god_n that_o the_o tempest_n

so_o thou_o that_o be_v to_o enter_v on_o a_o office_n or_o a_o government_n do_v not_o do_v it_o till_o thou_o have_v prevail_v with_o god_n by_o prayer_n and_o be_v much_o seek_v of_o he_o that_o he_o may_v give_v thou_o wisdom_n you_o see_v solomon_n do_v it_o he_o beg_v of_o god_n that_o god_n will_v give_v he_o wisdom_n to_o go_v in_o and_o out_o before_o the_o people_n and_o certain_o a_o

in_o the_o four_o place_n another_o be_v wisdom_n and_o prudence_n that_o be_v a_o main_a and_o a_o necessary_a thing_n too_o in_o those_o that_o be_v to_o govern_v and_o in_o those_o that_o have_v to_o do_v in_o the_o commonwealth_n for_o as_o i_o tell_v you_o it_o be_v like_o a_o man_n in_o a_o ship_n in_o the_o midst_n of_o a_o storm_n how_o unhappy_a and_o miserable_a be_v that_o ship_n
