Modern spelling is a reading aid: the words are the author’s, only the spelling is modernized. Original shows the page as printed, with the transcription marks.
That God should be King over a people it's his Mercy, and it's mans felicity; this should be our prayer, Lord, give us not up to be ruled by our lusts, but do thou rule over us, and Lord give us not up to be ruled by the lusts of wicked men, of unjust and cruel men to rule over us, but do thou reign over us, Let the Kingdoms of the earth be the Lords and his Christs, and he shall reign for evermore.
That God should be King over a people it's his Mercy, and it's mans felicitie; this should be our prayer, Lord, give us not up to be rul'd by our lusts, but do thou rule over us, and Lord give us not up to be rul'd by the lusts of wicked men, of unjust and cruel men to rule over us, but do thou reign over us, Let the Kingdoms of the earth be the Lords and his Christs, and he shall reign for evermore.
But there is another reading of the words, and that's thus. You that have books of the old-Translation, 1where Beza's (the Geneva) Notes are, you shall find the reading thus, I am, and there's a stop, where is your King that should save your City? & I find most Interpreters go so.

So the Septuagint Translation, Where is your King (say 1they?) and the Chaldee Paraphrase, Where is your King that should save you in all your Cities? The Chaldee Paraphrase, the Septuagint, and very many Interpreters reads it so, it's so translated in the old Translation, and according to the Original, I will be, (there may be a stop) your King; Where is he that should save you in your Cities? Yea, and many Learned men in speaking of this text in their Comments upon it, say they, it's but a transposition of the letters which is ordinarily in the Hebrew tongue, and though the word that is (I will be) it is as much as (where) upon a transposition of the letter, but though we do not make the transposition of the letter in the first words (I will be) but take them as they are there. But if you make a stop there, I will be, your King; where is he that shall save you in your Cities? The sense comes to one.
