have_v a_o special_a reason_n to_o move_v he_o to_o mention_v his_o good_a deed_n and_o that_o be_v this_o because_o the_o lord_n make_v a_o promise_n to_o david_n say_v if_o thy_o child_n take_v

be_v this_o because_o in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o law_n in_o which_o hezekiah_n live_v the_o hope_n of_o eternal_a life_n be_v not_o so_o great_a as_o it_o be_v under_o the_o gospel_n because_o the_o

have_v many_o particular_a reason_n for_o which_o he_o weep_v at_o the_o hear_n of_o his_o death_n as_o first_o because_o if_o he_o shall_v die_v than_o he_o shall_v leave_v judah_n and_o jerusalem_n under_o the_o pressure_n
and_o danger_n of_o sennacherib_n and_o must_v not_o see_v the_o delivery_n of_o it_o second_o because_o he_o have_v no_o son_n as_o yet_o to_o succeed_v he_o in_o his_o throne_n and_o it_o may_v be_v a_o cause_n of_o sorrow_n to_o he_o to_o think_v that_o the_o promise_v make_v to_o david_n and_o solomon_n 1_o king_n 8.25_o shall_v not_o appertain_v to_o he_o and_o his_o posterity_n yea_o it_o
