i_o conclude_v first_o that_o conscience_n can_v not_o hold-backe_a israel_n from_o help_v their_o brethren_n in_o the_o day_n of_o distress_n and_o tread_v down_o for_o who_o do_v so_o oppress_v israel_n at_o this_o time_n it_o must_v be_v answer_v saul_n their_o king_n for_o he_o have_v hand_n and_o foot_n and_o other_o instrument_n beside_o to_o execute_v the_o wrath_n but_o all_o he_o do_v be_v by_o the_o devil_n motion_n that_o evil_a spirit_n upon_o he_o which_o hurry_v he_o from_o place_n to_o place_n so_o as_o he_o do_v not_o go_v but_o be_v drive_v and_o all_o his_o way_n long_o he_o breathe_v out_o threaten_n against_o david_n by_o the_o motion_n of_o this_o evil_a spirit_n and_o his_o own_o which_o every_o man_n saul_n also_o be_v bind_v to_o resist_v do_v saul_n do_v all_o this_o therefore_o whatsoever_o israel_n make_v conscience_n of_o they_o can_v make_v conscience_n of_o resist_v the_o devil_n or_o the_o private_a will_n which_o by_o the_o help_n of_o the_o devil_n have_v do_v all_o the_o violence_n that_o ever_o be_v do_v in_o the_o world_n i_o presume_v this_o be_v a_o clear_v case_n therefore_o i_o leave_v it_o for_o if_o saul_n act_v by_o a_o evil_a spirit_n
