this_o text_n to_o answer_v such_o objector_n here_o be_v king_n david_n order_n for_o a_o day_n of_o thanksgiving_n because_o god_n have_v give_v meat_n or_o prey_n to_o his_o people_n as_o he_o have_v give_v to_o we_o this_o day_n we_o have_v as_o much_o i_o may_v say_v more_o reason_n to_o give_v thanks_o to_o god_n for_o meat_n get_v by_o a_o lawful_a war_n as_o for_o meat_n get_v by_o our_o lawful_a labour_n therefore_o let_v we_o eat_v it_o or_o enjoy_v the_o benefit_n of_o it_o and_o praise_v the_o lord_n if_o while_o this_o meat_n be_v in_o our_o mouth_n the_o praise_n of_o

that_o as_o it_o befall_v the_o israelite_n who_o fall_v a_o lust_a in_o the_o wilderness_n the_o wrath_n of_o god_n shall_v fall_v upon_o we_o and_o slay_v the_o fat_a of_o we_o and_o smite_v down_o the_o choose_a man_n of_o our_o israel_n psal_n 78._o 30_o 31._o indeed_o if_o we_o have_v either_o ask_v this_o meat_n for_o our_o lust_n or_o have_v get_v it_o bestow_v it_o upon_o our_o lust_n we_o may_v expect_v a_o severe_a vengeance_n than_o they_o thus_o i_o have_v touch_v upon_o and_o make_v a_o brief_a application_n of_o the_o first_o ground_n of_o praise_v god_n lay_v down_o in_o this_o context_n by_o a_o parallel_n of_o the_o work_n of_o the_o lord_n for_o which_o david_n give_v order_n for_o public_a praise_n with_o the_o work_n of_o the_o lord_n for_o which_o we_o be_v call_v to_o praise_v he_o this_o day_n they_o be_v great_a and_o honourable_a they_o be_v wonderful_a and_o beneficial_a he_o have_v give_v meat_n or_o prey_n to_o they_o that_o fear_v he_o the_o second_o general_a ground_n why_o david_n order_v a_o day_n of_o praise_n be_v that_o assurance_n and_o holy_a confidence_n which_o he_o have_v of_o what_o god_n be_v and_o will_v further_o be_v unto_o they_o and_o do_v for_o they_o and_o indeed_o what_o god_n himself_o be_v to_o we_o be_v far_o more_o valuable_a than_o all_o that_o he_o have_v do_v for_o we_o and_o in_o all_o our_o outward_a enjoyment_n we_o shall_v be_v draw_v off_o from_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n to_o the_o god_n of_o our_o mercy_n from_o all_o the_o work_n of_o god_n to_o god_n who_o have_v wrought_v they_o so_o do_v david_n

there_o be_v four_o particular_n in_o which_o david_n give_v instance_n for_o the_o exalt_v of_o the_o name_n of_o god_n in_o praise_n as_o to_o what_o he_o be_v in_o himself_o and_o as_o to_o what_o

david_n resolve_v here_o to_o praise_n god_n in_o the_o assembly_n of_o the_o just_a we_o may_v understand_v he_o of_o either_o assembly_n he_o will_v praise_v god_n in_o the_o assembly_n of_o his_o
