to man, and one man to another, and all to thee, the last link of this admirable chain being fastned to the foot of thy throne: teach me to obey all those whom thou hast set over me, reverencing their persons, submitting in∣differently to all their lawful commands, cheer∣fully undergoing those burdens which the pub∣lick wisdom and necessity shall impose upon me; at no hand murmuring against govern∣ment, lest the Spirit of pride and mutiny, of murmur and disorder enter into me, and con∣signe me to the portion of the disobedient and rebellious, of the Despisers of dominion, and revilers of dignity. Grant this O holy God for his sake, who for his obedience to the Father hath obtained the glorification of eternal ages, our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Amen.
Prayers for Kings and all Magistrates, for our Parents spiritual and natural, are in the fol∣lowing Letanies at the end of the fourth Chapter.
