God's meaning,1 touching this Ceremony. was this, that the Kings Book should he true, and faultless. And therefore God commanded him to take a Copy thereof, out of the Registry, or Records, which were thought to be void of all corruption, and were evermore kept in the Temple, under the Custody of the Priests. Paulus Phagius saith, Every Private man was commanded to have one Book severally to him self: But the King was commanded to have two. And, for as much as the King was a Public Person, therefore God willed him to take his Copy out of the public Records of the Temple.
