Have mercy on the Kings and Rulers of the Earth, that 1they may escape the Temptations of Worldly Greatness, Honours, and Prosperity, which would captivate them to the flesh, and draw their hearts from thee, thy Laws and Ways, and would engage them against thee, and thy Servants; And as they are thy Ministers, and Magistracy is thine Ordinance, sanctify and dispose them to be Nursing Fathers to thy Church, to own thy Interest, and Rule for thee.
