primary_o instrumental_a to_o give_v he_o title_n the_o reason_n of_o this_o backwardness_n in_o the_o tribe_n of_o judah_n be_v various_o conjecture_v some_o think_v it_o be_v because_o absolom_n man_n have_v still_o a_o guard_n in_o the_o fort_n of_o zion_n and_o therefore_o they_o dare_v not_o call_v the_o king_n back_o least_o by_o a_o unseasonable_a discovery_n of_o their_o affection_n they_o may_v incense_v the_o rebellious_a party_n and_o so_o provoke_v their_o enemy_n rage_n may_v hasten_v their_o own_o ruin_n other_o apprehend_v the_o cause_n of_o this_o backwardness_n to_o be_v only_o the_o consciousness_n of_o their_o own_o guilt_n and_o fear_v of_o the_o king_n be_v future_a revenge_n but_o for_o this_o you_o may_v see_v david_n pass_v a_o act_n of_o oblivion_n in_o his_o first_o overture_n of_o peace_n not_o call_v they_o rebel_n or_o use_v any_o reproachful_a or_o revile_v speech_n but_o mild_o my_o brethren_n my_o bone_n and_o my_o flesh_n and_o true_o i_o be_o apt_a to_o believe_v that_o the_o consciousness_n of_o their_o own_o guilt_n be_v the_o great_a obstacle_n they_o think_v they_o have_v sin_v beyond_o the_o king_n mercy_n and_o so_o dare_v not_o trust_v he_o and_o indeed_o when_o man_n once_o apprehend_v themselves_o past_o pardon_n they_o grow_v desperate_a and_o labour_n to_o maintain_v and_o justify_v their_o former_a wickedness_n by_o continue_a act_n of_o violence_n judah_n of_o all_o the_o tribe_n have_v the_o near_a relation_n to_o the_o king_n and_o the_o inhabitant_n of_o jerusalem_n the_o great_a benefit_n by_o his_o presence_n and_o personal_a abode_n among_o they_o and_o therefore_o to_o be_v the_o first_o countenancer_n of_o the_o rebellion_n must_v needs_o be_v a_o aggravation_n of_o their_o sin_n above_o that_o of_o other_o but_o as_o there_o be_v no_o sin_n so_o great_a but_o god_n mercy_n can_v forgive_v so_o there_o be_v no_o offence_n so_o eminent_a but_o the_o clemency_n of_o a_o good_a prince_n
