which_o this_o sad_a relation_n produce_v which_o be_v these_o two_o viz._n 1._o a_o mournful_a poem_n or_o song_n or_o a_o funeral_n elogium_fw-la upon_o the_o loss_n of_o those_o two_o skilful_a &_o excellent_a warrior_n five_o 17._o and_o david_n lament_v over_o saul_n etc._n etc._n david_n affliction_n produce_v we_o many_o a_o song_n and_o this_o be_v one_o among_o the_o rest_n 2_o a_o studious_a care_n for_o their_o own_o defence_n and_o safety_n employ_v in_o the_o word_n of_o the_o text_n he_o bid_v they_o teach_v etc._n etc._n saul_n and_o ionathan_n death_n israel_n defeat_n and_o the_o philistines_n victory_n make_v david_n not_o only_o mournful_a but_o also_o careful_a how_o to_o prevent_v the_o like_a disaster_n when_o occasion_n shall_v be_v for_o another_o onset_n the_o word_n of_o the_o text_n be_v contain_v in_o david_n funeral_n song_n and_o be_v insert_v if_o you_o observe_v in_o a_o parenthesis_n in_o which_o respect_n there_o be_v something_o worthy_a of_o notice_n in_o the_o former_a verse_n david_n you_v see_v have_v just_a begin_v to_o compose_v his_o mournful_a song_n the_o sad_a and_o unexpected_a news_n of_o israel_n overthrow_n saul_n and_o jonathans_n death_n those_o expert_a and_o valiant_a commander_n who_o under_o god_n have_v be_v judah_n safety_n and_o the_o defence_n of_o the_o country_n the_o loss_n of_o these_o make_v david_n break_v out_o into_o a_o deep_a lamentation_n and_o david_n lament_v &c_n &c_n now_o lest_o david_n mourning_n shall_v make_v other_o either_o heartless_a and_o fearful_a or_o give_v they_o any_o occasion_n of_o suspicion_n concern_v his_o own_o valour_n and_o courage_n i_o say_v lest_o any_o shall_v draw_v up_o this_o dishearten_v conclusion_n viz_o see_v the_o philistines_n have_v slay_v our_o mighty_a and_o skilful_a and_o david_n himself_o hereupon_o become_v thus_o deject_v and_o sorrowful_a it_o will_v now_o be_v in_o vain_a for_o we_o to_o think_v of_o resist_v or_o prepare_v for_o further_a engage_v wherefore_o to_o remove_v this_o damp_n of_o daunt_a fear_n before_o he_o proceed_v any_o further_a to_o lament_v he_o insert_v his_o solemn_a charge_n that_o they_o shall_v learn_v experience_n how_o to_o fight_v cause_n of_o sorrow_n shall_v be_v no_o cause_n of_o cowardice_n david_n have_v good_a courage_n in_o his_o great_a grief_n also_o he_o bid_v they_o teach_v &c_n &c_n david_n apostrophe_n from_o lament_v to_o bid_v they_o prepare_v for_o fight_v be_v a_o argument_n both_o of_o his_o prudence_n and_o constant_a care_n and_o courage_n and_o david_n lament_v etc._n etc._n but_o lest_o any_o hereby_o shall_v judge_v david_n become_v either_o careless_a or_o cowardly_a before_o he_o go_v on_o with_o his_o lamentation_n he_o make_v this_o pause_v in_o a_o parenthesis_n also_o he_o bid_v they_o teach_v the_o child_n of_o judah_n the_o use_n of_o the_o bow_n it_o be_v by_o this_o instrument_n we_o hear_v in_o the_o former_a chapter_n saul_n be_v wound_v and_o so_o also_o jonathan_n and_o many_o other_o the_o bow_n be_v a_o principal_a instrument_n then_o use_v in_o their_o war_n by_o the_o more_o acute_a nimble_a and_o skilful_a manage_n whereof_o the_o philistines_n very_o likely_a then_o gain_v their_o victory_n over_o israel_n wherefore_o david_n make_v this_o good_a use_n of_o it_o viz._n that_o for_o the_o better_a deal_n with_o the_o enemy_n it_o be_v very_o expedient_a to_o teach_v the_o child_n of_o judah_n the_o exact_a use_n and_o skilful_a handle_n of_o that_o weapon_n q._n d_o our_o best_a policy_n now_o be_v know_v where_o
