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.

not_o be_v impertinent_o speak_v concern_v that_o matter_n the_o first_o thing_n that_o i_o propound_v to_o consideration_n be_v this_o namely_o whether_o that_o at_o and_o before_o his_o trial_n for_o his_o life_n his_o judgement_n and_o execution_n he_o be_v proper_o a_o king_n or_o be_v depose_v from_o be_v a_o king_n so_o that_o in_o that_o condition_n may_v we_o not_o look_v upon_o he_o as_o one_o that_o have_v be_v king_n but_o for_o such_o just_a cause_n depose_v that_o to_o the_o equity_n thereof_o both_o the_o house_n of_o parliament_n together_o with_o the_o army_n and_o the_o commonwealth_n consent_v and_o be_v actor_n therein_o and_o consent_v thereto_o do_v not_o this_o evident_o appear_v if_o we_o consider_v that_o the_o parliament_n former_o many_z and_o several_a time_n by_o public_a writing_n declare_v that_o the_o king_n be_v so_o far_o a_o delinquent_n that_o they_o be_v force_v to_o disclaim_v his_o former_a authority_n and_o to_o take_v up_o arm_n against_o he_o in_o the_o prosecution_n of_o justice_n they_o subdue_v the_o late_a king_n and_o his_o party_n now_o in_o this_o condition_n the_o king_n remain_v not_o be_v restore_v to_o his_o former_a kingship_n which_o be_v consider_v will_v it_o not_o appear_v that_o those_o that_o give_v sentence_n against_o he_o and_o those_o that_o bring_v he_o to_o his_o trial_n and_o do_v cause_n justice_n to_o be_v execute_v upon_o he_o do_v not_o take_v away_o the_o life_n of_o a_o king_n but_o of_o one_o that_o have_v be_v king_n and_o hope_v so_o to_o have_v be_v again_o second_o i_o do_v propound_v to_o consideration_n whether_o it_o be_v not_o lawful_a to_o desert_n and_o to_o depose_v king_n and_o to_o bring_v they_o to_o punishment_n for_o the_o breach_n of_o the_o law_n of_o the_o most_o high_a god_n this_o i_o believe_v appear_v plain_o if_o we_o first_o consider_v that_o both_o king_n and_o people_n be_v all_o god_n subject_n god_n be_v the_o king_n of_o king_n god_n say_v that_o one_o law_n shall_v be_v to_o all_o exod._n 12.49_o it_o be_v to_o be_v consider_v what_o god_n give_v joshua_n in_o charge_n josh_n 1.8_o let_v not_o this_o book_n of_o the_o law_n depart_v out_o of_o thy_o mouth_n but_o meditate_v therein_o day_n and_o night_n that_o then_o may_v observe_v and_o do_v according_a to_o all_o thing_n that_o be_v write_v therein_o to_o this_o very_a purpose_n god_n speak_v the_o same_o matter_n as_o the_o duty_n of_o king_n deut._n 17.18_o and_o when_o he_o shall_v sit_v upon_o the_o throne_n of_o his_o kingdom_n then_o shall_v he_o write_v he_o this_o law_n repeat_v in_o a_o book_n verse_n 19_o and_o he_o shall_v read_v therein_o all_o the_o day_n of_o his_o life_n that_o he_o may_v learn_v to_o fear_v the_o lord_n his_o god_n verse_n 20._o that_o he_o may_v prolong_v his_o day_n in_o his_o kingdom_n etc._n etc._n from_o these_o place_n it_o appear_v that_o both_o joshua_n and_o the_o king_n be_v to_o be_v subject_a to_o god_n law_n otherwise_o god_n will_v have_v leave_v they_o to_o their_o liberty_n but_o contrary_o god_n do_v direct_o impose_v upon_o they_o the_o diligent_a observation_n of_o all_o his_o law_n 2._o we_o may_v note_v that_o the_o breach_n of_o god_n law_n be_v punishable_a in_o king_n plain_o employ_v in_o these_o word_n that_o it_o may_v go_v well_o that_o his_o day_n in_o his_o kingdom_n may_v be_v prolong_v by_o this_o we_o may_v plain_o see_v that_o on_o the_o contrary_a if_o a_o king_n do_v neglect_n and_o transgress_v god_n command_n than_o his_o day_n in_o his_o kingdom_n may_v be_v

and_o so_o likewise_o if_o by_o diligent_a need_n to_o god_n law_n the_o day_n of_o king_n may_v be_v prolong_v then_o on_o the_o contrary_a for_o the_o neglect_v and_o much_o more_o for_o the_o grievous_a breach_n of_o god_n law_n their_o day_n may_v be_v shorten_v to_o this_o purpose_n we_o may_v read_v that_o although_o joshua_n be_v a_o man_n that_o be_v place_v as_o governor_n over_o
