1You see how he carried himself as a King, he was an excellent King, the delight of Israel: he carried himself every way as a King should do: he tempered mercy, and judgement together: I will sing of mercy, and judgement: so he did in his whole carriage sweetly temper mercy, and justice, he dispensed these two. And as a King must not only serve God himself; but to make others serve God: so his care was to stablish the worship of God, as you find in the story. David, when he saw all in peace and quiet, then he begins to take care for the Ark, 1 Chron. 17.2 I dwell in a house of Cedar: but the Ark of the Lord remains under curtains: therefore he took a course for that. So governors should do, when God hath settled them in their government quietly, to begin to think of Gods house: for they rule not well, they serve not the Will of God, except, besides their own service, they call others to serve him. A Magistrate must be the keeper of both Tables himself, and cause others to do it, he must lay down his crown at the feet of Christ, as it is in Isay. Thus David was a nursing father to the Church of God, he served God in his particular calling.
1You see how he carried himselfe as a King, he was an excellent King, the delight of Israel: hee carried himselfe every way as a King should doe: hee tempered mercie, and judgement together: I will sing of mercie, and judgement: so he did in his whole carriage sweetly temper mercie, and justice, he dispenced these two. And as a King must not only serve God himselfe; but to make others serve God: so his care was to stablish the worship of God, as you find in the storie. David, when he saw all in peace and quiet, then he begins to take care for the Arke, 1 Chron. 17.2 I dwell in a house of Cedar: but the Arke of the Lord remaines under curtaines: therfore hee tooke a course for that. So governours should doe, when God hath setled them in their government quietly, to begin to thinke of Gods house: for they rule not well, they serve not the Will of God, except, besides their owne service, they call others to serve him. A Magistrate must be the keeper of both Tables himselfe, and cause others to doe it, he must lay downe his crowne at the feet of Christ, as it is in Isay.
