kill_v himself_o with_o his_o own_o sword_n the_o news_n of_o this_o overthrow_n be_v bring_v to_o david_n by_o a_o amalakite_n 1._o 1_o sam._n 31.2.3_o 4._o and_o 2_o sam._n 1._o who_o think_v to_o

not_o and_o therefore_o deserve_v to_o die_v for_o kill_v the_o king_n the_o young_a man_n act_n we_o condemn_v but_o what_o be_v that_o to_o the_o purpose_n we_o do_v commend_v the_o mourn_a upon_o

over_o head_n and_o ear_n to_o say_v david_n appoint_v a_o lamentation_n or_o a_o mournful_a ditty_n as_o he_o call_v it_o to_o be_v sing_v by_o the_o child_n of_o judah_n in_o succeed_a age_n indeed_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o eighteen_o verse_n of_o the_o same_o chapter_n that_o he_o bid_v they_o teach_v the_o child_n of_o judah_n the_o use_n of_o the_o bow_n and_o not_o to_o sing_v a_o lamentation_n herein_o lie_v a_o want_n of_o sincerity_n and_o something_o of_o a_o design_n to_o impose_v upon_o hearer_n and_o reader_n now_o i_o conceive_v the_o parallel_n between_o saul_n and_o charles_n the_o first_o lie_v in_o be_v anoint_v which_o we_o know_v be_v a_o ceremony_n use_v under_o the_o law_n to_o have_v king_n prophet_n and_o priest_n anoint_v which_o all_o relate_v to_o jesus_n christ_n for_o those_o three_o office_n he_o be_v to_o exercise_v and_o that_o anoint_v signify_v the_o oil_n of_o gladness_n wherewith_o he_o be_v to_o be_v anoint_v above_o all_o his_o fellow_n mean_v the_o grace_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n represent_v by_o the_o anoint_v though_o the_o name_n of_o anoint_v be_v give_v to_o those_o that_o be_v no_o king_n no_o priest_n nor_o prophet_n as_o afterward_o explain_v as_o abraham_n isaac_n israel_n and_o family_n touch_v not_o my_o anoint_a psalm_n 105.10_o for_o there_o the_o prophet_n speak_v of_o they_o not_o of_o king_n and_o under_o the_o gospel_n the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v call_v the_o unction_n the_o anoint_v which_o god_n people_n have_v receive_v 27._o 1_o john_n 2.20_o 27._o and_o which_o abide_v in_o we_o and_o teach_v we_o all_o thing_n in_o consequence_n of_o this_o the_o lord_n jesus_n who_o according_a to_o his_o promise_n have_v send_v the_o 13._o the_o john_n 16.7_o 13._o comforter_n the_o spirit_n of_o truth_n be_v say_v under_o the_o name_n of_o a_o lamb_n to_o 5.10_o to_o rev._n 5.10_o have_v make_v we_o unto_o our_o god_n king_n and_o priest_n so_o then_o all_o that_o have_v the_o holy_a spirit_n of_o christ_n be_v the_o anoint_v of_o the_o lord_n the_o god_n of_o truth_n have_v say_v so_o and_o man_n must_v not_o take_v upon_o themselves_o to_o teach_v he_o how_o to_o speak_v why_o do_v poor_a silly_a man_n go_v about_o as_o much_o as_o in_o they_o lie_v to_o deprive_v god_n people_n of_o what_o he_o have_v bestow_v upon_o they_o and_o if_o all_o true_a believer_n be_v make_v king_n and_o priest_n why_o shall_v man_n restrain_v it_o to_o a_o order_n of_o man_n and_o put_v asunder_o that_o which_o god_n have_v join_v together_o yet_o this_o i_o must_v say_v to_o those_o who_o so_o exceed_o be_v admirer_n of_o king_n charles_n the_o first_o that_o by_o what_o they_o do_v i_o have_v real_o a_o better_a opinion_n of_o he_o than_o they_o have_v themselves_o for_o i_o hope_v he_o be_v a_o better_a man_n than_o saul_n therefore_o the_o comparison_n they_o make_v between_o they_o be_v not_o very_o judicious_a nor_o favourable_a to_o their_o king_n for_o the_o parallel_n must_v run_v upon_o the_o person_n as_o well_o as_o the_o office_n they_o both_o be_v king_n and_o anoint_a but_o saul_n be_v not_o only_o choose_v but_o also_o reject_v of_o god_n from_o be_v king_n 26._o 1_o sam_n 13.22_o 23_o 26._o who_o care_v for_o honour_n from_o man_n more_o than_o favour_n from_o god_n when_o he_o say_v to_o samuel_n honour_v i_o now_o 30._o verse_n 30._o i_o

samuel_n to_o mourn_v for_o when_o alive_a and_o when_o as_o much_o as_o man_n know_v there_o may_v be_v hope_n of_o god_n mercy_n and_o pardon_n to_o he_o how_o likely_a be_v it_o then_o that_o god_n will_v have_v approve_v after_o his_o death_n that_o david_n have_v appoint_v a_o lamentation_n to_o be_v sing_v by_o the_o child_n of_o judah_n in_o succeed_a age_n hence_o it_o appear_v how_o sometime_o comparison_n and_o parallel_n do_v not_o answer_v the_o end_n for_o which_o they_o be_v make_v use_n of_o but_o on_o the_o contrary_a like_o one_o who_o blow_v his_o nose_n press_v it_o so_o much_o as_o to_o squeeze_v blood_n out_o of_o it_o such_o comparison_n ought_v discreet_o and_o wary_o to_o be_v use_v or_o else_o they_o will_v confute_v that_o which_o thereby_o be_v intend_v to_o be_v prove_v thus_o the_o candle_n be_v turn_v upside_o down_o that_o which_o make_v it_o burn_v will_v put_v it_o out_o the_o second_o precedent_n be_v that_o of_o josiah_n 25._o 2_o chron._n 35.24_o 25._o after_o who_o death_n all_o judah_n and_o jerusalem_n mourn_v for_o he_o jeremiah_n lament_v for_o he_o all_o the_o singing-man_n and_o singing-woman_n speak_v of_o josiah_n in_o their_o

more_o to_o the_o purpose_n if_o it_o may_v well_o be_v fasten_v when_o we_o consider_v what_o manner_n of_o man_n josiah_n be_v 25._o 2_o king_n 23._o to_o verse_n 25._o what_o a_o reformer_n what_o a_o enemy_n to_o idolatry_n and_o superstition_n who_o put_v away_o all_o the_o abomination_n that_o be_v spy_v in_o the_o land_n of_o judah_n purge_v the_o worship_n of_o god_n of_o all_o abuse_n of_o who_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n bear_v this_o witness_n 25_o verse_n 25_o and_o like_v unto_o he_o be_v there_o no_o king_n before_o he_o that_o turn_v to_o the_o lord_n with_o all_o his_o

to_o remember_v the_o death_n of_o the_o young_a prince_n our_o reformer_n edward_n the_o six_o with_o grief_n and_o sorrow_n though_o heylin_n be_v of_o another_o mind_n the_o death_n of_o so_o

other_o pious_a man_n aught_o to_o be_v precious_a and_o dear_a to_o posterity_n but_o we_o must_v not_o bestow_v any_o thing_n of_o religious_a relation_n upon_o they_o but_o strict_o avoid_v every_o

in_o the_o two_o quote_v place_n in_o the_o margin_n nor_o in_o the_o book_n of_o chronicle_n nothing_o be_v say_v of_o any_o public_a mourning_n of_o the_o people_n for_o it_o yet_o some_o will_v
