Now the Prelate taketh the Court way, to pour this oil of grace on many dry Princes, who without all doubt are Kings essentially no less then David. He must see better then the man who finding Pontius Pilate in the Creed, said, he behoved to be a good man: so because he hath found Nero the tyrant, Julian the apostate, Nebuchadnezzar, Evil-Merodach, Hazael, Hagag, all the Kings of Spain, and I doubt not, the Great Turk, in the 89 Psalm, v. 19, 20. so all these Kings are anointed with the oil of grace, and all these must make their enemies necks their footstool; all these be higher then the Kings of the Earth, and are hard and fast in the covenant of grace, &c.
