name_n which_o none_o know_v but_o they_o that_o have_v it_o it_o be_v a_o great_a folly_n in_o many_o man_n that_o will_v argue_v so_o much_o about_o perfection_n as_o if_o they_o have_v attain_v

of_o david_n he_o mention_n his_o innocency_n with_o respect_n to_o saul_n we_o have_v it_o thus_o express_v in_o the_o title_n of_o the_o psalm_n david_n the_o servant_n of_o the_o lord_n speak_v unto_o the_o lord_n the_o word_n of_o this_o song_n in_o the_o day_n that_o the_o lord_n deliver_v he_o from_o the_o hand_n of_o all_o his_o enemy_n and_o from_o the_o hand_n of_o saul_n david_n be_v proclaim_v by_o saul_n a_o traitor_n and_o a_o rebel_n poor_a david_n little_a david_n when_o he_o be_v a_o shepherd_n little_a thought_n that_o he_o shall_v be_v the_o king_n of_o that_o great_a

not_o to_o be_v understand_v as_o if_o david_n rely_v upon_o his_o own_o work_n or_o merit_n but_o he_o have_v a_o testimony_n in_o his_o own_o heart_n and_o the_o lord_n spirit_n bear_v he_o witness_v that_o he_o be_v innocent_a with_o respect_n to_o saul_n and_o the_o lord_n account_v he_o innocent_a he_o suffer_v for_o his_o sake_n the_o lord_n choose_v he_o to_o be_v king_n without_o

a_o observable_a word_n which_o david_n speak_v 23._o i_o be_v also_o upright_o before_o he_o and_o i_o keep_v myself_o from_o my_o iniquity_n a_o strange_a word_n may_v some_o say_v how_o do_v he_o keep_v himself_o from_o his_o iniquity_n the_o open_n of_o this_o may_v be_v of_o use_n and_o service_n to_o some_o here_o it_o be_v thus_o to_o be_v understand_v david_n though_o he_o be_v a_o good_a man_n yet_o he_o do_v find_v and_o be_v conscious_a to_o himself_o that_o there_o be_v a_o principle_n of_o iniquity_n which_o lie_v very_o near_o to_o he_o to_o tempt_v he_o to_o sin_n and_o to_o some_o particular_a sin_n more_o than_o to_o other_o which_o he_o call_v my_o iniquity_n he_o be_v not_o so_o careful_a and_o watchful_a afterward_o when_o he_o come_v to_o be_v settle_v in_o the_o kingdom_n he_o be_v not_o so_o watchful_a over_o his_o heart_n as_o to_o keep_v himself_o from_o that_o principle_n of_o lust_n that_o be_v remain_v in_o he_o you_o know_v what_o appear_v and_o break_v out_o in_o the_o case_n of_o bathsheba_n he_o walk_v upon_o the_o top_n of_o his_o palace_n and_o be_v gaze_v abroad_o he_o be_v not_o upon_o his_o guard_n do_v not_o keep_v his_o watch_n and_o his_o iniquity_n get_v victory_n over_o he_o but_o before_o this_o happen_v when_o he_o be_v vigilant_a and_o jealous_a over_o himself_o with_o a_o godly_a jealousy_n he_o can_v say_v i_o have_v keep_v myself_o from_o my_o iniquity_n this_o expression_n declare_v to_o we_o thus_o much_o that_o he_o have_v some_o particular_a sin_n that_o he_o have_v need_n to_o watch_v against_o he_o have_v some_o particular_a enemy_n near_o to_o he_o according_a to_o those_o word_n of_o our_o bless_a lord_n a_o man_n

great_a enemy_n be_v those_o of_o his_o own_o house_n so_o it_o be_v in_o this_o case_n david_n worst_a enemy_n be_v those_o of_o his_o own_o house_n he_o do_v not_o watch_v and_o keep_v his_o guard_n against_o they_o in_o the_o time_n of_o his_o prosperity_n when_o he_o be_v advance_v to_o the_o crown_n and_o sceptre_n of_o judah_n and_o israel_n and_o his_o enemy_n subdue_v under_o he_o after_o god_n have_v deliver_v he_o from_o the_o hand_n of_o all_o his_o enemy_n he_o shall_v have_v keep_v himself_o from_o his_o iniquity_n as_o he_o have_v do_v former_o when_o saul_n hunt_v and_o pursue_v he_o as_o a_o partridge_n upon_o the_o mountain_n man_n and_o woman_n common_o have_v some_o particular_a sin_n and_o lust_n which_o in_o a_o peculiar_a manner_n they_o may_v call_v their_o own_o iniquity_n it_o be_v voluptuousness_n and_o the_o love_n of_o carnal_a pleasure_n in_o some_o ambition_n and_o pride_n in_o other_o and_o envy_n and_o malice_n in_o some_o and_o covetousness_n which_o be_v idolatry_n in_o other_o therefore_o let_v not_o man_n flatter_v and_o deceive_v themselves_o and_o think_v that_o there_o be_v nothing_o of_o the_o seed_n and_o principle_n of_o sin_n remain_v

it_o be_v a_o constant_a thing_n with_o she_o to_o walk_v with_o god_n the_o whole_a day_n from_o her_o rise_n up_o to_o she_o lie_v down_o and_o she_o enjoy_v a_o lively_a sense_n of_o the_o love_n of_o god_n and_o the_o consolation_n of_o his_o holy_a spirit_n but_o it_o please_v the_o lord_n afterward_o to_o hide_v his_o face_n and_o then_o she_o be_v trouble_v yet_o god_n do_v not_o utter_o leave_v she_o for_o she_o die_v a_o good_a christian_a but_o he_o do_v withdraw_v and_o withhold_v from_o she_o those_o sensible_a joy_n and_o consolation_n she_o have_v ra_v and_o feel_v in_o
