We must beg for them all gifts, graces, and mercies, not onely in truth but in the highest degree; especially for governing gifts and graces, in the most superlative measure. As Wise∣dome and Judgement is one: So in Salomons prayer at Gi∣beon. And now O Lord my God, * 1.1 thou hast made thy ser∣vant King, &c. And now, thy servant is in the midst of thy people which thou hast chosen, a great people, &c. Give there∣fore thy servant an understanding heart to judge thy people, * 1.2 that I may discerne between good and bad. Next, the Feare and dread of the Lord. Moreover, * 1.3 thou shalt provide out of all the people able men, such as feare God, &c. And he said to the Judges, take heed what ye doe; for ye iudge not for man but for the Lord. * 1.4 Wherefore now let the feare of the Lord be upon you, take heed, and doe it. Againe, The spirit of Cou∣rage and Zeale (saith Jehosaphat) Deale couragiously, * 1.5 and the Lord shall be with the good.
