be_v to_o take_v away_o his_o life_n and_o in_o this_o meaning_n do_v the_o old_a translator_n of_o our_o psalm_n take_v it_o when_o they_o read_v it_o they_o go_v wicked_o about_o to_o destroy_v i_o

to_o be_v angry_a with_o david_n though_o he_o possess_v saul_n throne_n nor_o ought_v you_o to_o endeavour_v his_o son_n restoration_n see_v it_o be_v the_o lord_n be_v do_v and_o bring_v about_o

if_o there_o be_v no_o other_o way_n to_o do_v justice_n to_o ishbosheth_n than_o to_o do_v injustice_n to_o many_o thousand_o beside_o you_o ought_v to_o leave_v justice_n to_o god_n and_o to_o commit_v to_o he_o ishbosheth_n cause_n which_o you_o think_v so_o good_a but_o to_o murder_n a_o innocent_a king_n to_o involve_v a_o nation_n in_o blood_n to_o bring_v in_o all_o the_o misery_n the_o devastation_n and_o the_o confusion_n of_o a_o civil_a war_n among_o a_o people_n that_o be_v in_o peace_n and_o quiet_n and_o live_v easy_a under_o david_n government_n this_o you_o can_v

david_n without_o cause_n as_o you_o have_v see_v and_o so_o we_o have_v consider_v david_n enemy_n and_o their_o pretence_n we_o proceed_v next_o to_o the_o second_o particular_a observable_a in_o the_o text_n viz._n ii_o david_n prayer_n against_o these_o his_o enemy_n for_o his_o own_o safety_n let_v they_o be_v ashamed_a that_o be_v let_v they_o be_v disappoint_v o_o my_o god_n overthrow_v their_o unjust_a purpose_n against_o i_o david_n constant_a course_n in_o all_o his_o distress_n be_v application_n to_o god_n take_v he_o to_o be_v his_o best_a refuge_n he_o know_v his_o cause_n
