I exhort you therefore, that first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, for kings, & for all that be in authority, that we may lead a quiet & a peaceable life, in all godliness and honesty. 1. Tim. 5.17. Elders that rule well, are worthy of double honour. Gen. 45.9.
