he_o meditate_a in_o the_o word_n of_o god_n day_n and_o night_n what_o time_n have_v he_o to_o rule_v his_o kingdom_n then_o the_o meaning_n be_v that_o all_o the_o spare_a time_n that_o he_o have_v it_o be_v to_o think_v of_o god_n to_o look_v to_o the_o rule_n the_o word_n of_o god_n how_o to_o guide_v his_o life_n and_o for_o his_o outward_a call_n there_o be_v a_o double_a call_n wherein_o

shall_v not_o abide_v in_o his_o house_n you_o have_v a_o direction_n there_o how_o to_o guid●_n your_o family_n you_o see_v how_o he_o serve_v the_o will_n of_o god_n as_o a_o governor_n yet_o there_o be_v a_o fault_n in_o he_o in_o that_o respect_n he_o be_v too_o indulgent_a to_o absalon_n and_o adoniah_n a_o man_n may_v be_v a_o good_a man_n and_o yet_o be_v too_o blame_v in_o some_o

his_o care_n be_v to_o establish_v the_o worship_n of_o god_n as_o you_o find_v in_o the_o story_n david_n when_o he_o see_v all_o in_o peace_n and_o quiet_a than_o he_o begin_v to_o take_v care_n for_o the_o ark_n 1_o chron._n 17._o 17._o i_o dwell_v in_o a_o house_n of_o cedar_n but_o the_o ark_n of_o the_o lord_n remain_v under_o curtain_n therefore_o he_o take_v a_o course_n for_o that_o

the_o will_n of_o god_n except_o beside_o their_o own_o service_n they_o call_v other_o to_o serve_v he_o a_o magistrate_n must_v be_v the_o keeper_n of_o both_o table_n himself_o and_o cause_v other_o to_o do_v it_o he_o must_v lay_v down_o his_o crown_n at_o the_o foot_n of_o christ_n as_o it_o be_v in_o isay._n thus_o david_n be_v a_o nurse_n father_n to_o the_o church_n of_o god_n he_o serve_v god_n in_o his_o particular_a call_n now_o to_o make_v use_n of_o another_o division_n the_o will_n of_o god_n it_o be_v either_o in_o thing_n to_o be_v do_v suffer_v or_o to_o be_v suffer_v and_o obedience_n answerable_a to_o that_o be_v either_o active_a or_o passive_a as_o david_n serve_v god_n in_o do_v so_o he_o yield_v obedience_n and_o serve_v the_o will_n of_o god_n in_o his_o passive_a obedience_n wherein_o he_o do_v deny_v himself_o exceed_o as_o much_o as_o ever_o man_n do_v next_o to_o christ_n you_o see_v how_o he_o deny_v himself_o in_o his_o carriage_n towards_o saul_n in_o matter_n of_o revenge_n how_o he_o overcome_v himself_o because_o he_o know_v that_o revenge_n be_v god_n and_o that_o god_n be_v he_o and_o therefore_o will_v right_v he_o well_o enough_o and_o in_o shimei_n god_n have_v bid_v he_o rail_v he_o will_v not_o revenge_v and_o other_o notable_a example_n we_o have_v how_o he_o submit_v to_o god_n will_v as_o in_o 1_o sam._n 30.6_o 30.6_o when_o he_o be_v in_o extremity_n he_o encourage_v himself_o in_o the_o lord_n his_o god_n there_o he_o stay_v himself_o in_o extremity_n and_o in_o 2_o sam._n 15.25_o 15.25_o there_o be_v a_o

will_n of_o himself_o in_o serve_v of_o he_o so_o in_o psal._n 39_o 39_o i_o hold_v my_o tongue_n lord_n because_o thou_o do_v it_o thus_o you_o see_v how_o he_o serve_v the_o will_n of_o god_n in_o the_o inward_a service_n of_o god_n and_o in_o the_o outward_a to_o god_n and_o man_n in_o both_o calling_n as_o a_o good_a man_n and_o a_o good_a governor_n in_o his_o family_n every_o way_n he_o serve_v the_o will_n of_o god_n use_v and_o wherefore_o be_v all_o this_o here_o be_v a_o pattern_n for_o we_o that_o we_o shall_v serve_v the_o will_n of_o god_n david_n to_o serve_v the_o will_n of_o god_n immediate_o to_o labour_v to_o bring_v our_o heart_n to_o trust_v in_o he_o to_o fear_v he_o above_o all_o to_o delight_v in_o he_o above_o all_o and_o to_o express_v it_o in_o our_o

and_o what_o a_o stagger_a will_v this_o be_v to_o conscience_n when_o a_o man_n shall_v defer_v his_o repentance_n till_o god_n judgement_n seize_v upon_o he_o we_o see_v it_o be_v false_a for_o the_o most_o part_n because_o such_o person_n that_o be_v then_o humble_v when_o they_o recover_v they_o be_v as_o bad_a or_o worse_a then_o ever_o they_o be_v therefore_o a_o ancient_n say_v well_o
