for_o several_a month_n his_o enemy_n be_v so_o disappoint_v and_o defeat_v now_o that_o we_o may_v true_o say_v god_n have_v give_v he_o a_o noble_a victory_n we_o hear_v of_o a_o king_n in_o my_o

against_o he_o till_o the_o loyal_a party_n of_o the_o city_n prevail_v and_o the_o traitor_n lose_v his_o head_n therefore_o i_o make_v no_o reflection_n upon_o those_o passage_n for_o it_o be_v

frivolous_a parallel_n but_o also_o from_o odious_a comparison_n i_o shall_v only_o say_v we_o see_v a_o king_n preserve_v from_o the_o same_o implacable_a enemy_n that_o have_v pursue_v he_o above_o these_o forty_o year_n but_o a_o much_o more_o formidable_a enemy_n since_o he_o conceal_v his_o enmity_n than_o when_o he_o declare_v himself_o open_o even_o by_o set_v a_o price_n upon_o the_o most_o sacred_a head_n but_o david_n in_o all_o these_o reflection_n either_o upon_o his_o danger_n or_o his_o deliverance_n look_v up_o to_o heaven_n he_o acknowledge_v that_o the_o race_n be_v not_o

his_o fortune_n therefore_o he_o give_v the_o honour_n to_o god_n alone_o he_o thank_v he_o not_o only_o for_o his_o own_o prosperous_a success_n but_o in_o behalf_n of_o all_o the_o crown_a head_n in_o the_o world_n it_o be_v he_o that_o give_v victory_n unto_o king_n to_o the_o same_o great_a god_n of_o heaven_n he_o ascribe_v their_o preservation_n from_o so_o many_o horrid_a conspiracy_n

with_o such_o music_n as_o be_v proper_a to_o be_v use_v in_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n and_o together_o with_o church-music_n to_o introduce_v its_o best_a sister_n and_o heavenly_a twin_n i._n e._n
