First, He hath bestowed more on them than on others: Now where much is given, much shall be required: Can you think of that without trembling? He hath bestowed on them singular Love more than on others; Thou only have I known of all the Families on Earth. He hath a distinguishing Love and favour for his People, and he looks that his love should, be a constraining Argument to Obedience. Again he hath laid out a singular care on his People, more than on others: He cares for no man, for nothing in all the World, in comparison of them. He reproveth Kings for their sakes. He will give Nations, and Kingdoms for their Ransom. So precious are they in his sight, and so dearly Beloved, that he will give men for them, and People for their Life. He ⟨p. 69⟩withdraweth not his Eyes from the Righteous, he will not endure them out of his sight. The Eyes of the Lord are upon the Righteous, and first the eye of his more accurate Observation: God can wink at others as it were, and overlook what they do with little notice, but he hath a most eurious Eye upon his People, he marketh their steps, & booketh their words, he weigheth their Actions, and pondereth all their goings.

The rest are the Refuse: These the Jewels: These are taken, and they are left. Shall not Gods Priests be Clothed with Righteousness, and shall not Princes Live above the rate of Peasants?
