26._o et_fw-la de_fw-fr quo_fw-la loquor_fw-la propheta_fw-la vel_fw-la populus_fw-la fidelis_fw-la and_o in_o this_o place_n may_v be_v ask_v in_o the_o eunuch_n word_n of_o who_o here_o speak_v

who_o may_v not_o find_v the_o quality_n of_o our_o late_a affliction_n and_o our_o deliverance_n together_o in_o this_o present_a psalm_n and_o read_v the_o state_n of_o our_o affair_n in_o the_o

he_o be_v more_o tender_o breed_v and_o less_o able_a to_o bear_v they_o nay_o they_o be_v great_a in_o themselves_o then_o the_o heavy_a sorrow_n that_o ever_o fall_v upon_o david_n in_o the_o time_n

do_v for_o the_o sake_n of_o david_n we_o read_v indeed_o of_o 85._o priest_n slaughter_v by_o the_o cruelty_n and_o command_n of_o saul_n but_o we_o may_v read_v of_o more_o than_o twenty_o time_n
