Exhort. 2. To those, who by the consent of the Freemen, Use. are according to Gods Ordinance, to be invested with Magistratical Power and Authority, to observe Moses his Charge to the Judges, Deut. 1.16, 17. And I charged your Judges that same time, saying, Hear the Controversies between your Brethren, and judge righteously, &c. and Jehoshaphats, ⟨p. 12⟩2 Chron. 19.9, 10. Be wise therefore ye Rulers, and consider that your Life, and all our Good, your Prosperity and Protection lies, not in this or that Politic design, or whatsoever else under the Sun, but alone in Gods gracious Presence with you, Psal. 4.6, 7. Oh! provoke him not to depart from us, but seek the continuance of his presence with us, and fix your thoughts on the things which tend to assure Gods special providential Presence with us. The things incumbent on you, in order hereunto, are such as respect either Persons or Things; my desire is to speak in love to the Truth and Peace.
