song_n of_o david_n have_v not_o more_o quiet_v his_o spirit_n before_o then_o now_o the_o thankful_a song_n of_o the_o israelitish_n woman_n vex_v he_o one_o little_a ditty_n of_o saul_n have_v

for_o saul_n alone_o can_v not_o kill_v a_o thousand_o and_o david_n in_o that_o one_o act_n of_o kill_a goliath_n slay_v in_o effect_n all_o the_o philistines_n that_o be_v slay_v that_o day_n &_o

find_v all_o the_o fear_n in_o saul_n of_o david_n none_o in_o david_n of_o saul_n hatred_n and_o fear_n be_v ordinary_a companion_n david_n have_v wisdom_n and_o faith_n to_o dispel_v his_o fear_n saul_n have_v nothing_o but_o infidelity_n &_o deject_a selfe-condemned_n distemper_a thought_n which_o must_v needs_o nourish_v they_o yet_o saul_n can_v not_o fear_v any_o hurt_n from_o david_n

his_o plausible_a word_n invite_v he_o to_o danger_n this_o honour_n be_v due_a to_o david_n before_o upon_o the_o compact_n of_o his_o victory_n yet_o he_o that_o twice_o inquire_v into_o the_o

so_o noble_a a_o exploit_n but_o as_o a_o snare_n to_o a_o envy_a victory_n charity_n suspect_v not_o david_n construe_v that_o as_o a_o effect_n and_o argument_n of_o his_o master_n love_n which_o be_v no_o other_o but_o a_o child_n of_o envy_n but_o a_o plot_n of_o mischief_n and_o though_o he_o know_v his_o own_o desert_n and_o the_o justice_n of_o his_o claim_n to_o merab_n yet_o he_o in_o a_o sincere_a humility_n disparage_v himself_o and_o his_o parentage_n with_o a_o who_o be_o i_o as_o it_o be_v not_o the_o purpose_n of_o this_o modesty_n in_o david_n to_o reject_v but_o to_o
