But why should a Jew (for I would confine my self to the merits of the Cause before us) be imposed upon to think that God, who hath given his own Name and Authority to Princes (Exodus 22. 28. Thou shalt not revile the Gods) who hath not only required that the outward Actions of the Subject, their Words and Language, be dutiful; but (as if he would share with them his own Prerogative of taking Cognizance of the Heart and its Motions ) that they pay them the Reverence of their very Thoughts, (for so it runs, Eccles. 10. 20. Curse not the King, no not in thy Thought.) That God, who hath entailed so great Temporal Blessings on the Obedience paid to him, ('tis by all agreed to be one meaning of the Fifth Commandment,) who hath so immediately intrusted them with the Care of his Laws and Worship, hath so well qualified them for the discharging that great Trust, who gave Wisdom to Solomon, Piety and Courage to David, promised his Presence and Blessing to them all, (2 Sam. 14, 15, &c. 29.) made their Persons sacred, |
