may_v read_v many_o time_n in_o the_o prophet_n but_o in_o this_o place_n david_n confess_v that_o the_o staff_n of_o the_o lord_n that_o be_v to_o say_v god_n power_n be_v so_o strong_a that_o nothing_o be_v able_a to_o overcome_v it_o his_o wisdom_n be_v such_o that_o no_o man_n can_v make_v it_o foolishness_n his_o truth_n be_v so_o true_a that_o no_o man_n can_v make_v it_o false_a his_o promise_n be_v so_o certain_a and_o sure_a that_o no_o man_n can_v cause_v he_o to_o break_v or_o alter_v it_o his_o love_n be_v so_o constant_a that_o no_o man_n can_v withdraw_v it_o his_o providence_n be_v so_o wise_a that_o no_o man_n can_v beguile_v he_o his_o care_n be_v so_o great_a for_o his_o flock_n that_o they_o can_v want_v nothing_o his_o fold_n be_v so_o strong_a that_o no_o beast_n can_v break_v it_o he_o let_v his_o sheep_n so_o in_o and_o out_o that_o no_o man_n can_v deceive_v he_o he_o have_v such_o a_o care_n of_o all_o as_o he_o neglect_v not_o one_o he_o so_o love_v the_o one_o that_o he_o hate_v not_o the_o other_o he_o so_o teach_v all_o as_o none_o be_v leave_v ignorant_a he_o so_o call_v one_o as_o all_o shall_v be_v advertise_v he_o so_o chasten_v one_o as_o all_o shall_v beware_v he_o so_o receive_v one_o as_o all_o shall_v take_v hope_n and_o consolation_n he_o so_o preserve_v one_o as_o all_o the_o rest_n may_v be_v assure_v that_o he_o use_v his_o staff_n and_o force_n to_o comfort_v one_o king_n david_n as_o he_o say_v thy_o rod_n and_o thy_o staff_n they_o comfort_v i_o as_o all_o other_o shall_v assure_v themselves_o to_o be_v safe_a under_o his_o protection_n in_o this_o metaphor_n and_o translation_n under_o the_o name_n of_o a_o staff_n king_n david_n have_v declare_v the_o power_n of_o god_n to_o be_v such_o that_o in_o case_n he_o shall_v pass_v by_o and_o through_o thousand_o of_o peril_n he_o will_v not_o care_v for_o god_n be_v with_o he_o with_o his_o rod_n and_o staff_n then_o he_o set_v forth_o the_o third_o allegory_n and_o express_v a_o other_o mean_n which_o god_n use_v for_o the_o defence_n and_o consolation_n of_o his_o poor_a sheep_n and_o say_v that_o god_n have_v prepare_v a_o table_n in_o his_o sight_n against_o all_o those_o that_o trouble_v he_o by_o the_o name_n of_o a_o table_n he_o set_v forth_o the_o familiar_a and_o in_o manner_n fellowlike_o love_n that_o the_o god_n omnipotent_a have_v towards_o his_o sheep_n with_o who_o he_o use_v not_o only_a friendship_n but_o also_o familiarity_n and_o disdain_v not_o be_v the_o king_n of_o king_n to_o admit_v and_o receive_v unto_o his_o table_n vile_a and_o beggarly_a sinner_n scab_a &_o rot_a sheep_n sheep_n that_o friendship_n and_o familiarity_n be_v marvellous_o set_v forth_o in_o this_o that_o he_o make_v a_o table_n for_o david_n as_o though_o david_n have_v say_v who_o be_v he_o that_o can_v hurt_v i_o when_o the_o lord_n of_o lord_n do_v not_o only_o love_v i_o but_o admit_v i_o to_o be_v always_o familiar_o in_o his_o company_n the_o same_o manner_n of_o speech_n be_v use_v of_o king_n david_n towards_o miphiboseth_n jonathas_n son_n 9_o when_o he_o say_v he_o shall_v not_o only_o have_v the_o field_n again_o of_o saul_n his_o grandfather_n but_o also_o be_v entertain_v at_o his_o own_o table_n that_o be_v to_o say_v use_v friendly_a honourable_o and_o familiar_o this_o word_n table_n be_v diverse_o otherways_o take_v many_o time_n in_o the_o scripture_n but_o in_o this_o place_n it_o be_v near_a to_o the_o mind_n of_o king_n david_n to_o take_v it_o in_o this_o signification_n that_o i_o have_v note_v and_o our_o saviour_n christ_n take_v it_o in_o the_o same_o signification_n in_o saint_n luke_n gospel_n where_o he_o say_v his_o disciple_n shall_v eat_v with_o he_o at_o his_o table_n in_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n the_o four_o mean_n that_o the_o heavenly_a shepherd_n use_v in_o keep_v of_o his_o sheep_n the_o prophet_n set_v forth_o under_o the_o name_n of_o oil_n and_o a_o full_a cup_n in_o the_o word_n of_o god_n these_o word_n have_v also_o comfortable_a signification_n and_o meaning_n extend_v to_o david_n purpose_n isaac_n when_o he_o have_v give_v the_o blessing_n from_o esau_n to_o jacob_n say_v to_o jacob_n god_n shall_v give_v thou_o of_o the_o dew_n from_o heaven_n 27._o and_o from_o the_o fruitful_a ground_n thou_o shall_v have_v abundance_n of_o corn_n of_o wine_n and_o oil_n etc._n etc._n by_o the_o which_o blessing_n he_o mean_v that_o jacob_n shall_v lack_v nothing_o to_o serve_v his_o need_n and_o to_o make_v he_o merry_a and_o if_o we_o take_v david_n that_o he_o mean_v by_o oil_n as_o isaac_n do_v that_o at_o the_o lord_n table_n be_v all_o plenty_n mirth_n and_o solace_n we_o take_v he_o not_o amiss_o for_o so_o many_o time_n oil_n be_v take_v for_o consolation_n and_o joy_n in_o the_o scripture_n when_o christ_n have_v purge_v the_o hurt_n man_n wound_n first_o with_o smart_a wine_n he_o afterwards_o put_v into_o they_o sweet_a oil_n to_o ease_v the_o smart_n and_o sharpness_n of_o the_o wine_n and_o so_o likewise_o say_v our_o saviour_n christ_n to_o simon_n the_o pharisée_fw-fr 10_o that_o give_v he_o meat_n enough_o to_o his_o dinner_n but_o give_v he_o no_o mirth_n since_o i_o come_v into_o thy_o house_n thou_o give_v i_o not_o water_n for_o my_o foot_n nor_o oil_n for_o my_o head_n this_o poor_a woman_n never_o cease_v to_o wash_v my_o foot_n with_o the_o tear_n of_o her_o eye_n 7._o and_o to_o anoint_v they_o with_o oil_n but_o in_o many_o psalm_n king_n david_n use_v this_o word_n oil_n to_o signify_v the_o holy_a ghost_n as_o when_o he_o speak_v of_o our_o saviour_n christ_n 45._o thou_o have_v love_v justice_n and_o hate_a iniquity_n therefore_o have_v god_n anoint_v thou_o with_o the_o oil_n of_o joy_n above_o thy_o fellow_n and_o this_o oil_n be_v not_o the_o material_a oil_n that_o king_n and_o priest_n be_v anoint_v withal_o in_o the_o old_a time_n of_o the_o law_n of_o who_o confection_n we_o read_v in_o the_o book_n of_o the_o levite_n but_o this_o be_v the_o oil_n by_o who_o efficacy_n strength_n and_o power_n all_o thing_n be_v make_v that_o be_v to_o say_v the_o holy_a ghost_n 89._o and_o in_o his_o 89._o psalm_n he_o speak_v of_o the_o oil_n in_o the_o same_o signification_n therefore_o i_o take_v king_n david_n here_o when_o he_o say_v god_n have_v anoint_v his_o head_n with_o oil_n that_o god_n have_v illuminate_v his_o spirit_n with_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o so_o be_v this_o place_n take_v of_o godly_a man_n full_a his_o head_n take_v for_o his_o mind_n and_o oil_n for_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o as_o oil_n nourish_v light_a mitigate_v labour_n and_o pain_n and_o exhilerate_v the_o countenance_n so_o do_v the_o holy_a ghost_n nourish_v the_o light_n and_o knowledge_n of_o the_o mind_n replenish_v it_o with_o god_n gift_n and_o rejoice_v the_o heart_n therefore_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v call_v the_o oil_n of_o mirth_n and_o consolation_n and_o this_o consolation_n come_v unto_o king_n david_n and_o to_o all_o god_n lively_a member_n by_o the_o mean_n of_o christ_n 2._o as_o saint_n peter_n say_v we_o be_v people_n choose_v and_o a_o
