present_a take_v notice_n of_o nothing_o more_o than_o that_o in_o which_o this_o auditory_a may_v seem_v concern_v and_o that_o be_v this_o that_o it_o be_v david_n tribe_n that_o the_o king_n be_v bear_v among_o they_o and_o with_o they_o do_v keep_v his_o court_n and_o habitation_n by_o which_o they_o themselves_o do_v think_v and_o the_o king_n himself_o do_v allow_v that_o they_o have_v contract_v somewhat_o a_o near_a relation_n to_o he_o for_o though_o the_o man_n of_o israel_n jealous_a of_o his_o kindness_n and_o envious_a of_o their_o honour_n in_o the_o heat_n of_o their_o expostulation_n at_o the_o last_o verse_n of_o this_o chapter_n do_v tell_v they_o that_o they_o the_o man_n of_o israel_n have_v ten_o part_n in_o the_o king_n and_o also_o have_v more_o right_a in_o david_n yet_o we_o find_v he_o himself_o be_v of_o another_o opinion_n acknowledge_v at_o ver_fw-la 12._o of_o this_o chapter_n that_o they_o be_v his_o brethren_n his_o bone_n and_o his_o flesh_n very_o indear_v expression_n and_o such_o as_o can_v not_o but_o very_o effectual_o gain_v and_o win_v upon_o they_o which_o though_o they_o seem_v to_o import_v a_o much_o near_a affinity_n than_o that_o which_o i_o have_v mention_v yet_o ought_v they_o only_o to_o be_v understand_v of_o that_o remote_a relation_n for_o otherwise_o the_o mean_a of_o the_o tribe_n may_v have_v claim_v kindred_n with_o the_o king_n and_o the_o base_a among_o they_o have_v reckon_v himself_o of_o the_o royal_a blood_n which_o will_v have_v be_v a_o great_a dishonour_n to_o the_o king_n and_o too_o criminal_a a_o presumption_n in_o they_o and_o therefore_o what_o the_o man_n of_o judah_n do_v allege_v in_o excuse_n unto_o the_o man_n of_o israel_n at_o the_o 42._o verse_n of_o this_o chapter_n that_o the_o king_n be_v near_o of_o kin_n unto_o they_o vatablus_n and_o i_o think_v right_o make_v to_o be_v speak_v upon_o no_o other_o ground_n than_o this_o that_o david_n do_v keep_v his_o court_n among_o they_o hoc_fw-la dicunt_fw-la quod_fw-la david_n habitaret_fw-la in_o tribu_fw-la judah_n and_o so_o indeed_o the_o word_n in_o the_o original_a 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d do_v more_o proper_o signify_v the_o nearness_n of_o vicinity_n than_o that_o of_o kin_n and_o upon_o this_o account_n it_o be_v that_o david_n do_v just_o expect_v more_o from_o they_o and_o themselves_o do_v right_o think_v that_o there_o lie_v great_a obligation_n upon_o they_o unto_o loyalty_n and_o that_o they_o ought_v to_o be_v as_o anon_o we_o shall_v find_v they_o be_v more_o concern_v for_o the_o service_n and_o restitution_n of_o their_o king_n but_o than_o three_o we_o must_v not_o without_o take_v some_o notice_n of_o he_o here_o pass_v by_o the_o happy_a instrument_n of_o this_o accord_n in_o judah_n well_o may_v he_o deserve_v some_o remembrance_n who_o do_v so_o seasonable_o unite_v and_o in_o that_o set_v they_o forward_o to_o a_o enterprise_n that_o shall_v for_o ever_o be_v record_v to_o their_o immortal_a honour_n but_o here_o we_o be_v somewhat_o at_o a_o loss_n the_o text_n have_v make_v no_o far_a discovery_n than_o by_o a_o indefinite_a pronoun_n which_o be_v of_o dubious_a reference_n and_o he_o bow_v the_o heart_n which_o whether_o it_o be_v amasa_n in_o the_o verse_n before_o or_o one_o of_o the_o priest_n upon_o who_o david_n have_v impose_v the_o persuasion_n of_o amasa_n and_o judah_n both_o or_o whether_o it_o be_v mean_v of_o the_o king_n himself_o that_o by_o the_o short_a and_o kind_o admonition_n he_o have_v sudden_o and_o universal_o prevail_v upon_o they_o it_o be_v not_o so_o easy_a to_o determine_v it_o be_v true_a the_o message_n alone_o which_o david_n send_v though_o short_a yet_o be_v very_o apt_a to_o affect_v and_o recall_v that_o sense_n of_o duty_n which_o they_o seem_v to_o have_v lose_v you_o be_v my_o brethren_n my_o bone_n and_o my_o flesh_n wherefore_o then_o be_v you_o the_o last_o to_o bring_v back_o the_o king_n to_o encourage_v amasa_n to_o enlarge_v upon_o it_o and_o stir_v he_o up_o effectual_o to_o press_v it_o home_o a_o promise_n great_a enough_o be_v particular_o make_v to_o he_o god_n

not_o endeavour_v what_o he_o be_v court_v to_o by_o so_o great_a and_o fair_a a_o recompense_n the_o priest_n indeed_o only_o have_v receive_v his_o king_n command_n and_o that_o be_v no_o doubt_n enough_o for_o he_o who_o know_v full_a well_o his_o duty_n and_o never_o have_v decline_v its_o practice_n though_o here_o in_o the_o work_n itself_o there_o be_v sufficient_a invitation_n to_o

of_o one_o mind_n it_o be_v our_o proper_a office_n in_o do_v which_o i_o hearty_o wish_v that_o then_o only_o we_o may_v prosper_v when_o we_o confederate_a for_o god_n and_o bow_v his_o people_n heart_n for_o his_o vicegerent_n honour_n where_o therefore_o thus_o we_o may_v mistake_v it_o be_v not_o prudence_n too_o peremptory_o to_o decide_v but_o whoever_o he_o do_v the_o honour_n to_o make_v his_o instrument_n we_o know_v who_o be_v the_o author_n and_o chief_a cause_n of_o the_o union_n even_o the_o lord_n in_o who_o hand_n be_v the_o heart_n of_o all_o man_n and_o he_o turn_v

therefore_o let_v be_v the_o honour_n and_o unto_o he_o let_v we_o ascribe_v the_o glory_n of_o the_o thing_n who_o work_v secret_o but_o miraculous_o for_o his_o king_n and_o do_v bow_v the_o heart_n of_o all_o the_o man_n of_o judah_n as_o the_o heart_n of_o one_o man_n and_o so_o much_o for_o the_o first_o general_n i_o proceed_v unto_o the_o second_o the_o consequent_a of_o their_o heart_n be_v
