And a great cause of the evil of these latter days hath been the flatteries of those that have been at Court, therefore saith the Prophet here, Hear ye Oh house of the King. Kings are great indeed above other men, but what are they before the great God? Psal. 76.12. He shall cut off the spirit of Princes, he is terrible to the Kings of the earth. Psal. 105.12. When they were but few in number, yea very few and strangers in the land, when they went from one Nation to another, from one Kingdom to another people, he suffered no man to do them wrong, yea, he reproved Kings for their sakes; He reproved Kings for the sake of his own people when they were but few in number and went wandering from one Nation to another, & said, Touch not mine anointed, that is, touch nor my Saints. He gave Kings warning that they should take heed how they did so much as Tou•h his Church, touch his own people; Gods people are there called his Anointed, and it is said unto Kings that they should not ⟨p. 344⟩touch his anointed that were so few and wandered up and down from one Nation to another. Say thus even to the house of the King.
