Concerning the heavenly king ---------------------------- There is one eternal king, ruler and creator of all creatures. He is rightly the king and the glory of kings and the best of all kings who have (lit. "has") ever been or will ever be. Him be always praise and glory and eternal honour forever, amen. Concerning the worldly king --------------------------- It is fitting for the Christian king in a Christian nation that he be the comforter of the people and a just shepherd over the Christian flock, as it is right. And it is fitting that he elevate Christianity with all his might and keenly promote and protect God's church everywhere, and reconcile and bring to peace all Christian people with just law, as zealously as he can, and that he love righteousness through every thing for God and for the world.
