in_o their_o godly_a wisdom_n devise_v some_o further_a course_n for_o the_o utter_a extinguish_n of_o this_o tarantula_n sure_o it_o will_v redound_v much_o to_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n to_o the_o

that_o his_o wife_n be_v defile_v but_o alas_o poor_a man_n must_v he_o lose_v his_o life_n also_o it_o be_v as_o i_o tell_v you_o the_o matter_n be_v determine_v urias_n must_v die_v to_o save_v

now_o grow_v a_o politician_n he_o will_v take_v he_o away_o so_o cunning_o that_o there_o shall_v not_o appear_v so_o much_o as_o the_o least_o suspicion_n of_o murder_n and_o how_o so_o forsooth_o he_o will_v write_v to_o jaob_n the_o general_n of_o the_o camp_n to_o place_n urias_n in_o the_o forefront_n of_o the_o hot_a battle_n and_o sudden_o to_o retire_v from_o he_o o_o what_o a_o

of_o god_n yet_o at_o this_o time_n david_n will_v have_v it_o so_o to_o the_o end_n that_o urias_n be_v leave_v in_o the_o danger_n may_v be_v smite_v and_o die_v by_o the_o sword_n of_o the_o child_n of_o ammon_n here_o be_v notorious_a treachery_n and_o poor_a urias_n like_o bellerophon_n in_o the_o fable_n do_v carry_v the_o letter_n of_o his_o own_o death_n this_o be_v cunning_a indeed_o but_o have_v patience_n a_o while_n and_o you_o shall_v see_v that_o there_o be_v a_o god_n which_o see_v all_o thing_n and_o will_v not_o suffer_v sin_n unpunished_a what_o will_v joab_n yield_v to_o such_o a_o act_n yes_o he_o do_v never_o stick_v at_o it_o so_o potent_a be_v the_o command_n of_o prince_n if_o saul_n command_v to_o kill_v the_o holy_a priest_n of_o the_o lord_n 18_o doeg_n will_v be_v his_o instrument_n to_o do_v it_o if_o jezabel_n command_v to_o suborn_v false_a witness_n and_o to_o condemn_v the_o innocent_a the_o 11_o noble_n and_o elder_n of_o jezrael_n will_v be_v her_o instrument_n to_o put_v it_o in_o practice_n o_o happy_a therefore_o and_o thrice_o happy_a we_o who_o king_n delight_v in_o the_o law_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o meditate_v therein_o day_n and_o night_n pray_v we_o that_o the_o god_n of_o jacob_n will_v for_o ever_o so_o direct_v he_o that_o all_o his_o commandment_n may_v always_o be_v correspondent_a to_o the_o commandment_n of_o the_o most_o high_a for_o there_o be_v no_o question_n but_o if_o prince_n shall_v command_v even_o that_o which_o be_v simple_o evil_a a_o great_a number_n will_v be_v ready_a to_o be_v bad_a instrument_n to_o perform_v it_o and_o here_o let_v we_o mark_v what_o manner_n of_o man_n they_o be_v which_o use_v to_o be_v choose_v instrument_n of_o iniquity_n first_o those_o that_o hate_v a_o

and_o such_o be_v the_o noble_n and_o elder_n of_o jezrael_n desirous_a to_o curry_v favour_n with_o jezabel_n three_o those_o that_o be_v guilty_a of_o some_o notorious_a crime_n &_o such_o a_o one_o be_v joab_n who_o long_o before_o this_o be_v obnoxious_a to_o the_o sentence_n of_o death_n for_o kill_v of_o abner_n 27_o so_o now_o his_o life_n stand_v at_o the_o king_n pleasure_n and_o therefore_o david_n know_v he_o have_v he_o at_o command_n wherefore_o let_v all_o man_n labour_v to_o carry_v themselves_o in_o innocence_n with_o a_o good_a conscience_n in_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n 14_o if_o iniquity_n be_v in_o thy_o hand_n put_v it_o far_o from_o thou_o and_o let_v no_o wickedness_n dwell_v in_o thy_o tabernacle_n then_o shall_v thou_o lift_v up_o thy_o face_n without_o spot_n then_o shall_v thou_o be_v steadfast_a and_o shall_v not_o fear_v 9_o for_o he_o that_o walk_v upright_o walk_v sure_o such_o a_o man_n may_v be_v bold_a as_o a_o lion_n and_o refuse_v to_o be_v

neither_o urias_n alone_o be_v take_v away_o by_o this_o treachery_n but_o the_o 17_o text_n say_v plain_o that_o there_o fall_v some_o of_o the_o people_n of_o the_o servant_n of_o david_n such_o of_o they_o no_o doubt_n as_o be_v most_o courageous_a and_o valiant_a joabs_n commission_n extend_v no_o further_a than_o to_o the_o 15_o smite_v &_o kill_v of_o

now_o she_o se'e_v she_o own_o folly_n now_o she_o be_v clothe_v with_o shame_n as_o with_o a_o garment_n those_o radiant_a and_o sparkle_a eye_n which_o so_o dart_v love_n into_o the_o eye_n of_o

the_o danger_n of_o the_o law_n but_o o_o how_o shall_v i_o look_v my_o poor_a husband_n in_o the_o face_n you_o you_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o all_o this_o and_o therefore_o to_o you_o i_o make_v my_o moan_n alas_o alas_o what_o shall_v i_o do_v so_o she_o that_o of_o late_o have_v no_o regard_n of_o conscience_n be_v now_o torment_v with_o a_o accuse_a conscience_n and_o she_o that_o before_o be_v not_o ashamed_a to_o sin_n now_o she_o be_v ashamed_a lest_o her_o sin_n shall_v be_v know_v but_o what_o say_v david_n to_o all_o this_o for_o now_o he_o be_v put_v to_o his_o shift_n true_o he_o show_v himself_o a_o notable_a spectacle_n of_o humane_a frailty_n for_o he_o have_v a_o great_a care_n of_o his_o credit_n then_o of_o his_o conscience_n he_o be_v more_o afraid_a of_o the_o shame_n of_o the_o world_n than_o he_o be_v of_o the_o displeasure_n of_o almighty_n god_n and_o therefore_o he_o do_v palliate_v his_o sin_n to_o avoid_v the_o shame_n but_o he_o do_v not_o repent_v to_o avoid_v the_o displeasure_n and_o so_o much_o of_o the_o first_o motive_n his_o second_o motive_n be_v the_o danger_n of_o his_o darling_n for_o by_o the_o law_n of_o god_n the_o adulteress_n be_v to_o be_v put_v to_o 10_o death_n and_o therefore_o lest_o she_o who_o he_o love_v so_o tender_o shall_v lose_v her_o life_n and_o that_o by_o his_o mean_n he_o bend_v all_o the_o strength_n of_o his_o wit_n to_o conceal_v the_o matter_n hitherto_o of_o the_o motive_n now_o i_o come_v to_o the_o mean_n that_o be_v his_o politic_a practice_n his_o first_o policy_n be_v to_o cloak_n the_o

of_o the_o dove_n such_o be_v the_o wisdom_n of_o pharaoh_n who_o say_v 10_o come_v let_v we_o work_v wise_o when_o he_o intend_v to_o oppress_v the_o child_n of_o god_n such_o be_v the_o wisdom_n of_o 28._o jeroboam_fw-la who_o to_o establish_v his_o kingdom_n erect_v a_o standard_n to_o idolatry_n by_o set_v up_o two_o golden_a calf_n in_o dan_n and_o bethel_n this_o be_v wisdom_n but_o not_o

the_o lord_n be_v the_o begin_n of_o wisdom_n and_o therefore_o where_o there_o be_v not_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n there_o can_v possible_o be_v any_o true_a wisdom_n david_n himself_o can_v sometime_o say_v 110_o i_o understand_v more_o than_o the_o ancient_n because_o i_o keep_v thy_o precept_n wherefore_o if_o a_o man_n will_v be_v true_o wise_a let_v he_o fear_n god_n and_o walk_n in_o his_o precept_n this_o be_v wisdom_n according_a to_o godliness_n which_o will_v make_v a_o man_n wise_a to_o salvation_n and_o as_o this_o be_v the_o wisdom_n of_o every_o private_a man_n so_o

now_o let_v we_o hearken_v unto_o the_o answer_n of_o urias_n he_o say_v unto_o david_n the_o ark_n and_o judah_n and_o israel_n abideinaent_n 11_o and_o my_o lord_n joab_n and_o his_o servant_n be_v
