Psalms148:11

Verſ. 11 King of the earth] Theſe are doubly-bound to God (as Queen Elizabeth wrot to the French King) firſt, as they are men; and next as they are ſo great men: Leunclau. Annal. Turc. But this is little conſidered. Tamerlan having overcome Bajazet, asked him whether ever hee had given God thanks for making him ſo great an Emperour? who confeſſed ingenuouſly hee never thought of it.

Princes and all Judges of the earth] Theſe are thrice called upon, becauſe hardly perſwaded to pay God his rent, as holding themſelves too high to do him homage.
