in_o offend_v be_v misplace_v in_o disclose_v of_o our_o offence_n however_o sure_o i_o be_o that_o god_n have_v need_n even_o of_o rack_n to_o draw_v out_o confession_n and_o scarce_o in_o death_n itself_o be_v we_o wrought_v to_o a_o discovery_n of_o our_o error_n there_o be_v no_o one_o thing_n wherein_o our_o folly_n show_v itself_o more_o then_o in_o these_o hurtful_a concealment_n contrary_a to_o the_o proceed_n of_o humane_a justice_n it_o be_v with_o god_n confess_v and_o live_v no_o soon_o can_v david_n say_v i_o have_v sin_v than_o nathan_n infer_v the_o lord_n also_o have_v put_v away_o thy_o sin_n he_o that_o hide_v his_o sin_n shall_v not_o prosper_v but_o he_o that_o confess_v and_o forsake_v they_o shall_v find_v mercy_n who_o will_v not_o accuse_v himself_o to_o be_v acquit_v of_o god_n o_o god_n who_o will_v not_o tell_v his_o wickedness_n to_o thou_o that_o know_v it_o better_a than_o his_o own_o heart_n that_o his_o heart_n may_v be_v ease_v of_o that_o wickedness_n which_o be_v not_o tell_v kill_v since_o we_o have_v sin_v why_o shall_v we_o be_v niggardly_o of_o that_o action_n wherein_o we_o may_v at_o once_o give_v glory_n to_o thou_o and_o relief_n to_o our_o soul_n david_n have_v swear_v in_o a_o zeal_n of_o justice_n that_o the_o rich_a oppressor_n for_o but_o take_v his_o poor_a neighbour_n lamb_n shall_v die_v the_o death_n god_n by_o nathan_n be_v more_o favourable_a to_o david_n then_o to_o take_v he_o at_o his_o word_n thou_o shall_v not_o die_v o_o the_o marvelous_a power_n of_o repentance_n beside_o adultery_n david_n have_v shed_v the_o blood_n of_o innocent_a vriah_n the_o strict_a law_n be_v eye_n for_o tie_v tooth_n for_o tooth_n he_o that_o smite_v with_o the_o sword_n shall_v perish_v with_o the_o

he_o that_o say_v the_o lord_n have_v put_v away_o thy_o sin_n yet_o say_v also_o the_o sword_n shall_v not_o depart_v from_o thy_o house_n the_o same_o mouth_n with_o one_o breath_n pronounce_v the_o

he_o smite_v we_o not_o as_o a_o angry_a judge_n we_o may_v endure_v to_o smart_v from_o he_o as_o a_o love_a father_n yet_o even_o this_o rod_n do_v david_n deprecate_v with_o tear_n how_o fain_o will_v he_o shake_v off_o so_o easy_a a_o load_n the_o child_n be_v strike_v the_o father_n fast_n and_o pray_v and_o weep_v and_o lie_v all_o night_n upon_o the_o earth_n and_o abhor_v the_o noise_n of_o comfort_n that_o child_n which_o be_v the_o fruit_n and_o monument_n of_o his_o odious_a adultery_n who_o he_o can_v never_o have_v look_v upon_o without_o a_o recognition_n of_o his_o sin_n in_o who_o face_n he_o can_v not_o but_o have_v still_o read_v the_o record_n of_o his_o own_o shame_n be_v thus_o mourn_v for_o thus_o sue_v for_o it_o be_v easy_a to_o observe_v that_o good_a man_n over-passionate_o affect_v to_o his_o child_n who_o will_v not_o have_v think_v that_o david_n may_v have_v hold_v himself_o well_o appayd_v that_o his_o soul_n escape_v a_o eternal_a death_n his_o body_n a_o violent_a though_o god_n shall_v punish_v his_o sin_n in_o that_o child_n in_o who_o he_o sin_v yet_o even_o against_o this_o cross_n he_o bend_v his_o prayer_n as_o if_o nothing_o have_v be_v forgive_v he_o there_o be_v no_o child_n that_o will_v be_v scourge_v if_o he_o may_v escape_v for_o cry_v no_o affliction_n be_v for_o the_o time_n other_o then_o grievous_a neither_o be_v therefore_o yield_v unto_o without_o some_o kind_n of_o reluctation_n far_o yet_o be_v it_o from_o the_o heart_n of_o david_n to_o make_v any_o opposition_n to_o the_o will_n of_o god_n he_o sue_v he_o struggle_v not_o there_o be_v no_o impatience_n in_o entreaty_n he_o well_o know_v that_o the_o threat_n of_o temporal_a evil_n run_v common_o with_o a_o secret_a condition_n and_o therefore_o may_v perhaps_o be_v avoid_v by_o humble_a importunity_n if_o any_o mean_n under_o heaven_n can_v avert_v judgement_n it_o be_v our_o prayer_n god_n can_v not_o choose_v but_o like_o well_o the_o boldness_n of_o david_n faith_n who_o after_o the_o apprehension_n of_o so_o heavy_a a_o displeasure_n be_v so_o far_o from_o doubt_v of_o the_o forgiveness_n of_o his_o sin_n that_o he_o dare_v become_v a_o suitor_n unto_o god_n for_o his_o sick_a child_n sin_n do_v not_o make_v we_o more_o strange_a than_o faith_n confident_a but_o it_o be_v not_o in_o the_o power_n of_o the_o strong_a faith_n to_o preserve_v we_o from_o all_o affliction_n after_o all_o david_n prayer_n and_o tear_n the_o child_n must_v die_v the_o careful_a servant_n dare_v but_o whisper_v this_o sad_a news_n they_o who_o have_v find_v their_o master_n so_o averse_a from_o the_o motion_n of_o comfort_n in_o the_o sickness_n of_o the_o child_n fear_v he_o uncapable_a of_o comfort_n in_o his_o death_n suspicion_n be_v quick-witted_a every_o occasion_n make_v we_o misdoubt_v that_o event_n which_o we_o fear_v this_o secrecy_n proclaim_v that_o which_o they_o be_v so_o loath_a to_o utter_v david_n perceive_v his_o child_n dead_a and_o now_o he_o rise_v up_o from_o the_o earth_n whereon_o he_o lie_v and_o wash_v himself_o and_o change_v his_o apparel_n and_o go_v first_o into_o god_n house_n to_o worship_n and_o then_o into_o his_o own_o to_o eat_v now_o he_o refuse_v no_o comfort_n who_o before_o will_v take_v none_o the_o issue_n of_o thing_n do_v more_o full_o show_v the_o will_n of_o god_n than_o the_o prediction_n god_n never_o do_v any_o thing_n but_o what_o he_o will_v he_o have_v sometime_o foretell_v that_o for_o trial_n which_o his_o secret_a will_n intend_v not_o he_o will_v foretell_v it_o he_o will_v not_o effect_v it_o because_o he_o will_v therefore_o foretell_v it_o that_o he_o may_v not_o effect_v it_o his_o prediction_n of_o outward_a evil_n be_v not_o always_o absolute_a his_o action_n be_v david_n well_o see_v by_o the_o event_n what_o the_o decree_n of_o god_n be_v concern_v his_o child_n which_o now_o he_o can_v not_o strive_v against_o without_o a_o vain_a impatience_n till_o we_o know_v the_o determination_n of_o the_o almighty_a it_o be_v free_a for_o we_o to_o strive_v in_o our_o prayer_n to_o strive_v with_o he_o not_o against_o he_o when_o once_o we_o know_v they_o it_o be_v our_o duty_n to_o sit_v down_o in_o a_o silent_a contentation_n while_o the_o child_n be_v yet_o alive_a i_o fast_v and_o weep_v for_o i_o say_v who_o can_v tell_v whether_o the_o lord_n will_v be_v gracious_a to_o i_o that_o the_o child_n may_v live_v but_o now_o he_o be_v dead_a wherefore_o shall_v i_o fast_v can_v i_o bring_v he_o back_o again_o the_o grief_n that_o go_v before_o a_o evil_a for_o remedy_n can_v hardly_o be_v too_o much_o but_o that_o which_o follow_v a_o evil_a past_a remedy_n can_v be_v too_o little_a even_o in_o the_o sad_a
