with_o strong_a cry_n pray_v the_o father_n that_o cup_n may_v pass_v from_o he_o to_o drink_v of_o which_o he_o come_v down_o from_o heaven_n but_o if_o we_o consider_v david_n as_o a_o man_n after_o

be_v interpret_v by_o the_o same_o rule_n as_o that_o of_o job_n not_o as_o a_o flight_n in_o poetry_n but_o for_o a_o just_a grief_n and_o a_o deprecation_n of_o that_o guilt_n wherein_o the_o

and_o 2._o that_o the_o neglect_n of_o it_o and_o a_o insensibility_n of_o the_o guilt_n will_v certain_o bring_v upon_o we_o the_o curse_n insinuate_v in_o the_o text._n now_o both_o these_o

we_o may_v reflect_v on_o the_o two_o principal_a aggravation_n of_o those_o suffering_n we_o be_v this_o day_n command_v to_o lament_v over_o to_o the_o end_n we_o may_v at_o this_o distance_n pay_v some_o faint_a honour_n to_o our_o late_a martyr_a sovereign_n and_o may_v not_o be_v partaker_n of_o the_o sin_n and_o the_o plague_n of_o his_o murderer_n now_o the_o 1._o of_o these_o aggravation_n
