HVmbly beseecheth that your most Excellent Majestie, would be, Gratiously pleased to meditate on that place of Scripture▪ writtn, 1. Kings. 12. 15, 16. Wherefore the King harkened not unto his people: for the cause
was from the Lord, that he might performe his saying, which the Lord spake by Ahija thf Shulonite vnto Ierob [...] om the sonne of Nebat.
So when Israel sawe that the King harkned unto them, the people answered the Keng, saying, what
Portion have we in David? neither have we Portion in the sonne of Iesse: to yovr tents, O Isoael: now see to thine owne, &c.
The Lord protect, guide, and direct Yovr Gratiovs MAJESTIE.
