david_n be_v proud_a and_o by_o reason_n of_o their_o pride_n and_o ambition_n have_v their_o mutual_a dissension_n and_o emulation_n yet_o they_o can_v combine_v themselves_o to_o be_v david_n persecutor_n enemy_n there_o be_v a_o two_o fold_v use_n to_o be_v remark_v of_o the_o assemble_v of_o david_n enemy_n this_o may_v seem_v the_o more_o strange_a and_o admirable_a if_o we_o consider_v the_o nature_n of_o proud_a man_n in_o so_o far_o as_o they_o be_v proud_a for_o they_o presume_v of_o their_o own_o worth_n and_o think_v all_o other_o to_o be_v base_a and_o contemptible_a they_o presume_v of_o their_o own_o wit_n so_o that_o nothing_o in_o their_o estimation_n can_v be_v well_o speak_v or_o do_v but_o their_o own_o word_n &_o their_o own_o work_n or_o else_o what_o one_o

wonder_n then_o that_o in_o any_o respect_n they_o can_v assemble_v with_o other_o that_o in_o these_o respect_n do_v separate_v themselves_o from_o all_o other_o &_o yet_o we_o see_v that_o though_o

that_o all_o the_o malignant_a party_n which_o persecute_v the_o covenanter_n in_o these_o kingdom_n do_v service_n to_o satan_n for_o one_o end_n see_v many_o of_o they_o make_v profession_n that_o
