instruction_n and_o first_o it_o do_v just_o drive_v i_o into_o admiration_n of_o christ_n wonderful_a love_n to_o we_o when_o david_n hear_v of_o the_o death_n of_o his_o dear_a friend_n jonathan_n he_o be_v so_o rapt_v with_o passion_n &_o so_o ravish_v with_o admiration_n through_o the_o remembrance_n of_o his_o love_n that_o he_o call_v it_o wonderful_a woe_n be_v i_o say_v he_o for_o thou_o my_o brother_n jonathan_n very_a kind_n have_v thou_o be_v to_o i_o thy_o love_n to_o i_o be_v wonderful_a 2_o sam._n 1._o but_o now_o o_o david_n let_v i_o tell_v thou_o thy_o wonder_n be_v nothing_o it_o be_v but_o a_o shadow_n to_o this_o love_n of_o christ_n which_o we_o have_v to_o wonder_v at_o for_o jonathan_n love_v thou_o for_o that_o thy_o carriage_n and_o behaviour_n both_o towards_o

well_o for_o that_o he_o much_o enjoy_v the_o present_a and_o much_o more_o expect_v the_o future_a requital_n of_o thy_o love_n to_o he_o but_o christ_n love_v we_o when_o he_o enjoy_v our_o present_a enmity_n and_o have_v no_o hope_n of_o any_o future_a recompense_n jonathan_n bewray_v his_o love_n to_o thou_o in_o that_o he_o clothe_v thou_o with_o his_o ornament_n his_o robe_n and_o

that_o he_o not_o only_o clothe_v and_o arm_v we_o with_o his_o own_o spiritual_a robe_n and_o weapon_n but_o also_o take_v our_o rag_n of_o corporal_a infirmity_n yea_o our_o sin_n upon_o himself_o jonathan_n love_v thy_o life_n and_o safety_n well_o but_o yet_o he_o love_v his_o own_o better_a for_o when_o his_o father_n for_o anger_n against_o thou_o cast_v his_o spear_n at_o he_o he_o avoid_v and_o flee_v and_o will_v not_o abide_v his_o father_n fury_n but_o christ_n love_v our_o life_n and_o safety_n so_o well_o that_o for_o it_o he_o be_v content_a to_o lose_v his_o own_o and_o do_v not_o shrink_v his_o own_o side_n from_o the_o spear_n if_o ever_o therefore_o o_o david_n thou_o have_v cause_v to_o call_v jonathans_n love_n wonderful_a much_o more_o cause_n have_v we_o to_o
