the_o king_n she_o make_v her_o moan_n and_o tell_v he_o how_o the_o case_n do_v stand_v the_o king_n send_v for_o her_o husband_n home_o to_o cloak_v the_o matter_n out_o of_o hand_n when_o from_o the_o camp_n uriah_n come_v the_o king_n receive_v he_o courteous_o demand_v how_o all_o thing_n do_v frame_v concern_v of_o the_o enemy_n uriah_n show_v his_o highness_n all_o the_o accident_n of_o warlike_a strife_n then_o say_v the_o king_n this_o night_n you_o shall_v keep_v company_n with_o your_o own_o wife_n the_o ark_n of_o god_n uriah_n say_v with_o judah_n host_n and_o israel_n keep_v in_o the_o field_n and_o not_o a_o man_n within_o the_o house_n where_o they_o do_v dwell_v then_o shall_v i_o take_v my_o ease_n quoth_v he_o in_o bed_n of_o down_o with_o my_o fair_a wife_n o_o king_n he_o say_v that_o may_v not_o be_v so_o long_o as_o i_o enjoy_v my_o life_n then_o do_v the_o king_n a_o letter_n frame_n to_o joab_n general_n of_o the_o host_n and_o by_o uriah_n send_v the_o

she_o his_o royal_a queen_n then_o god_n that_o see_v this_o wicked_a deed_n be_v angry_a at_o king_n david_n sin_n the_o prophet_n nathan_n then_o with_o speed_n come_v thus_o complain_v unto_o he_o o_o david_n ponder_v what_o i_o say_v a_o great_a abuse_n i_o shall_v the_o tell_v for_o thou_o that_o rule_v in_o equity_n shall_v see_v the_o people_n govern_v well_o two_o man_n within_o the_o city_n dwell_v the_o one_o be_v rich_a the_o other_o poor_a the_o rich_a in_o cattle_n do_v excel_v the_o other_o nothing_o have_v in_o store_n save_v one_o little_a silly_a sheep_n which_o young_a he_o do_v with_o money_n buy_v with_o his_o own_o bread_n he_o do_v it_o feed_v among_o his_o child_n tender_o the_o rich_a man_n have_v a_o stranger_n come_v unto_o his_o house_n that_o love_v he_o dear_a the_o poor_a man_n sheep_n therefore_o he_o take_v and_o thereof_o make_v his_o friend_n good_a cheer_n because_o that_o he_o his_o own_o will_v spare_v he_o use_v the_o man_n most_o cruel_o then_o by_o the_o lord_n the_o king_n do_v swear_v the_o rich_a man_n for_o that_o fault_n shall_v die_v thou_o be_v the_o man_n the_o prophet_n say_v the_o princely_a crown_n god_n give_v to_o thou_o the_o lord_n wife_n thou_o thy_o own_o haste_n make_v and_o many_o more_o of_o fair_a beauty_n why_o have_v thou_o so_o defile_v thy_o life_n and_o slay_v uriah_n with_o the_o sword_n and_o take_v home_o his_o wed_a wife_n regard_v not_o god_n holy_a word_n therefore_o behold_v thus_o say_v the_o lord_n great_a war_n upon_o thy_o house_n shall_v be_v because_o thou_o have_v my_o law_n abhor_v much_o ill_a be_v sure_a i_o will_v cast_v on_o thou_o i_o will_v take_v thy_o wife_n before_o thy_o face_n and_o give_v they_o to_o their_o neighbour_n use_v and_o thou_o thereby_o shall_v reap_v disgrace_n for_o man_n shall_v laugh_v at_o thy_o abuse_n then_o david_n cry_v out_o piteous_o sore_o have_v i_o sin_v against_o the_o lord_n in_o mercy_n therefore_o look_v on_o i_o let_v not_o my_o prayer_n be_v abhor_v but_o as_o the_o prophet_n tell_v to_o he_o so_o do_v it_o after_o chance_n indeed_o for_o god_n do_v great_o plaugue_n his_o sin_n as_o in_o the_o bible_n you_o may_v read_v the_o scourge_n of_o sin_n thus_o you_o may_v see_v for_o murder_n and_o adultery_n and_o grant_v that_o we_o may_v warn_v be_v such_o cry_a sin_n to_o shun_v and_o fly_v
