Ezekiel31:5
5 Therefore his height was exalted above all the trees of the field, and his boughs were multiplyed , and his branches became long because of the multitude of waters when he shot forth.
His Power, Glory, and his Pride too, run up on high, a just administration of Laws for benefit of the publick, and a kind usage of the Subject, while 'twas here, made the King great, and his Kingdom famous.
Above all his Neighbour Kings, among whom oppressed weaklings still came to this Kingdom, while just, for shelter.
Many became his Subjects by voluntary choice, and his Native Subjects increast in numbers, and Wealth.
The Provinces reacht far and wide by the conquest of his armes, or attractives of his kindness brought to unite with him.
The many streams of Royal Justice▪ and Beneficence sent forth from the Throne of this Kingdom, so his Throne was advanced and established.
