our_o own_o strength_n or_o policy_n for_o success_n and_o security_n so_o must_v we_o take_v heed_n not_o to_o engage_v in_o any_o wicked_a course_n either_o to_o promote_v our_o interest_n or_o to_o

disappoint_v us._n there_o be_v a_o certain_a justice_n to_o be_v observe_v even_o against_o a_o enemy_n and_o war_n its_o self_n have_v its_o law_n from_o which_o the_o more_o upright_a heathen_n think_v it_o not_o only_o evil_a but_o scandalous_a to_o depart_v and_o much_o more_o ought_v we_o christian_n to_o do_v likewise_o and_o though_o to_o a_o weak_a mind_n and_o a_o brutish_a policy_n it_o may_v appear_v a_o very_a wise_a method_n of_o proceed_v to_o endeavour_v by_o secret_a treachery_n to_o cut_v off_o a_o dangerous_a enemy_n and_o do_v that_o by_o a_o sudden_a stab_n or_o a_o

disappoint_v in_o their_o design_n and_o to_o the_o hatred_n and_o contempt_n of_o mankind_n for_o have_v ever_o engage_v in_o them_o thus_o god_n do_v do_v in_o the_o case_n of_o david_n who_o saul_n so_o often_o endeavour_v and_o hope_v to_o have_v destroy_v and_o thus_o have_v he_o do_v for_o our_o royal_a sovereign_n he_o have_v deliver_v he_o from_o the_o secret_a practice_n as_o well_o as_o from_o the_o open_a violence_n of_o his_o enemy_n and_o continue_v he_o to_o be_v as_o he_o be_v this_o day_n a_o live_a monument_n of_o his_o own_o mercy_n and_o of_o the_o un-christian_a unman_o

nay_o to_o who_o they_o will_v rather_o tame_o yield_v up_o if_o they_o have_v it_o the_o empire_n of_o the_o world_n than_o let_v the_o sword_n decide_v it_o between_o they_o to_o who_o it_o shall_v

honourable_a because_o they_o be_v able_a to_o command_v panegyric_n and_o to_o reward_v the_o mercenary_a author_n of_o they_o but_o posterity_n will_v know_v the_o baseness_n of_o their_o proceed_n

and_o have_v so_o do_v let_v we_o not_o doubt_v but_o that_o god_n will_v turn_v their_o device_n to_o their_o own_o confusion_n and_o not_o suffer_v we_o to_o fall_v by_o they_o whilst_o we_o

return_v which_o the_o royal_a psalmist_n make_v to_o god_n for_o his_o deliverance_n therefore_o my_o heart_n great_o rejoice_v and_o in_o my_o song_n will_v i_o praise_v he_o in_o which_o word_n we_o have_v these_o 2_o thing_n represent_v to_o we_o one_a the_o inward_a sense_n which_o david_n have_v of_o god_n mercy_n to_o he_o his_o heart_n great_o rejoice_v and_o two_o his_o outward_a expression_n of_o it_o in_o my_o song_n will_v i_o praise_v he_o these_o two_o together_o make_v up_o the_o return_n of_o that_o holy_a man_n and_o both_o of_o they_o must_v concur_v in_o our_o
