On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

If God had said, David shall rule, it is in vain to oppose it. Men that have long stood in their own light, when they have long wearied themselves with their lying vanities, it is to be hoped, will understand the things that belong to their peace and return to their own mercies. Between prince and people there is an original contract, which both ought religiously to observe.
