particular_o call_v god_n king_n than_o other_o the_o first_o reason_n we_o may_v say_v be_v because_o he_o be_v a_o king_n of_o god_n make_v because_o he_o bring_v he_o to_o the_o throne_n have_v no_o title_n by_o birth_n to_o it_o à_fw-la cautis_fw-la ovium_fw-la tuli_fw-la te_fw-la i_o call_v he_o from_o the_o sheep-book_n to_o the_o sceptre_n and_o as_o these_o person_n which_o be_v of_o

be_v call_v god_n king_n because_o he_o be_v of_o his_o choose_n and_o advance_v his_o right_n to_o the_o crown_n be_v his_o immediate_a nomination_n he_o have_v no_o other_o interest_n in_o the_o royalty_n but_o the_o interest_n he_o have_v in_o god_n favour_n and_o if_o he_o have_v not_o be_v god_n king_n he_o have_v not_o be_v king_n of_o israel_n 2._o david_n be_v call_v god_n king_n more_o particular_o by_o reason_n of_o his_o many_o deliverance_n of_o he_o he_o preserve_v he_o from_o the_o time_n of_o his_o first_o anoint_v by_o samuel_n from_o the_o jealousy_n of_o saul_n and_o the_o malice_n of_o saul_n house_n conduct_v he_o through_o all_o the_o potent_a and_o perilous_a opposition_n of_o the_o heathen_a as_o i_o show_v and_o leave_v he_o not_o till_o he_o have_v set_v he_o on_o his_o holy_a hill_n of_o zion_n i.e._n establish_v he_o peaceable_o and_o glorious_o on_o the_o unite_a throne_n of_o israel_n and_o judah_n and_o for_o this_o reason_n david_n be_v not_o only_o call_v god_n king_n in_o my_o text_n but_o in_o the_o follow_a verse_n his_o son_n thou_o be_v my_o son_n this_o day_n have_v i_o beget_v thou_o the_o day_n of_o his_o redemption_n and_o promotion_n be_v count_v the_o day_n of_o his_o creation_n and_o the_o same_o word_n be_v apply_v to_o christ_n in_o the_o like_a manner_n after_o his_o resurrection_n thou_o be_v my_o son_n this_o day_n have_v i_o beget_v thou_o the_o day_n of_o his_o deliverance_n from_o death_n and_o the_o grave_a be_v call_v the_o day_n of_o his_o nativity_n or_o generation_n the_o day_n in_o which_o god_n exalt_v he_o and_o invest_v he_o with_o power_n the_o day_n in_o which_o he_o beget_v he_o 3._o david_n be_v call_v god_n king_n more_o particular_o because_o he_o be_v a_o king_n of_o his_o like_v as_o it_o be_v say_v after_o his_o own_o heart_n and_o in_o this_o sense_n also_o man_n say_v a_o thing_n be_v they_o when_o they_o approve_v it_o and_o be_v please_v with_o it_o above_o thing_n of_o the_o like_a

king_n in_o this_o last_o sense_n king_n of_o his_o like_n he_o do_v not_o boast_v of_o many_o of_o they_o or_o own_o their_o proceed_n but_o of_o those_o only_o which_o execute_v justice_n and_o judgement_n destroy_v idolatry_n and_o restore_v the_o true_a worship_n the_o other_o though_o they_o wear_v the_o crown_n they_o wear_v not_o the_o praise_n of_o be_v king_n of_o god_n like_n they_o be_v of_o the_o royal_a unction_n but_o not_o of_o this_o divine_a relation_n and_o just_o after_o this_o manner_n christ_n esteem_v his_o kindred_n not_o she_o that_o bear_v he_o be_v his_o mother_n nor_o those_o that_o descend_v of_o the_o same_o stock_n be_v of_o his_o alliance_n but_o they_o that_o hear_v his_o say_n and_o do_v they_o be_v his_o mother_n his_o sister_n and_o his_o brother_n it_o be_v not_o he_o that_o bear_v the_o diadem_n and_o the_o sceptre_n not_o he_o that_o be_v of_o the_o race_n of_o king_n that_o be_v anoint_a by_o the_o prophet_n shoot_v for_o the_o people_n praise_v by_o the_o hire_a historian_n that_o be_v god_n king_n but_o he_o that_o do_v that_o which_o be_v righteous_a in_o his_o sight_n the_o other_o may_v boast_v their_o title_n from_o god_n but_o they_o can_v boast_v no_o title_n to_o he_o to_o his_o approbation_n and_o like_n and_o consequent_o not_o to_o his_o protection_n and_o blessing_n in_o the_o hebrew_n dialect_n thing_n that_o excel_v
