his_o violent_a man_n from_o who_o he_o have_v equal_a glory_n and_o fear_n if_o we_o look_v upon_o abner_n we_o may_v observe_v more_o power_n than_o violence_n strengthen_v he_o be_v with_o saul_n

than_o violence_n arm_a he_o be_v with_o achitophel_n against_o who_o wisdom_n david_n have_v nothing_o equal_a but_o his_o innocence_n which_o invite_v god_n mercy_n to_o such_o revenge_n that_o by_o

and_o thus_o we_o have_v not_o yet_o sound_a out_o david_n violent_a man_n if_o we_o look_v upon_o sheba_n the_o son_n of_o bichri_fw-la we_o may_v observe_v more_o vanity_n than_o violence_n he_o fight_v more_o with_o the_o trumpet_n than_o the_o sword_n and_o raise_v rather_o a_o tumult_n than_o a_o rebellion_n almost_o as_o soon_o lose_v his_o head_n as_o his_o loyalty_n and_o thus_o we_o have_v not_o as_o yet_o find_v out_o david_n violent_a man_n we_o will_v not_o look_v upon_o adoniah_n and_o yet_o he_o be_v a_o goodly_a person_n in_o who_o we_o may_v observe_v more_o desire_n than_o violence_n but_o notwithstanding_o if_o we_o will_v look_v upon_o he_o he_o will_v take_v sanctuary_n before_o we_o can_v see_v he_o and_o from_o the_o horn_n of_o the_o altar_n make_v his_o

a_o enemy_n of_o david_n before_o all_o these_o both_o in_o time_n and_o fury_n we_o shall_v behold_v saul_n begin_v a_o persecution_n with_o his_o own_o hand_n which_o throw_v a_o iavelin_n at_o he_o but_o it_o be_v guide_v by_o a_o better_a hand_n to_o a_o merciful_a error_n we_o shall_v behold_v he_o send_v messenger_n to_o kill_v he_o in_o the_o morning_n as_o if_o they_o expect_v the_o light_n only_o to_o guide_v they_o to_o the_o certainty_n of_o the_o execution_n lest_o peradventure_o by_o a_o unpardonable_a mistake_n they_o shall_v commit_v a_o less_o villainy_n but_o david_n wife_n by_o a_o better_a light_n foresee_v the_o intent_n show_v that_o the_o night_n be_v as_o convenient_a for_o a_o escape_n as_o for_o a_o murder_n and_o let_v he_o down_o at_o a_o window_n make_v the_o

but_o david_n in_o the_o extremity_n of_o wit_n and_o banishment_n disguise_n himself_o in_o a_o safe_a madness_n make_v it_o the_o best_a use_n of_o his_o reason_n to_o seem_v to_o have_v lose_v the_o use_n of_o his_o reason_n we_o shall_v behold_v this_o violent_a man_n drive_v he_o again_o after_o his_o return_n into_o cave_n and_o desert_n by_o a_o new_a cruelty_n banish_v he_o thus_o in_o his_o own_o country_n we_o shall_v behold_v he_o at_o last_o so_o outrun_v his_o own_o fury_n and_o company_n that_o he_o be_v leave_v alone_o to_o his_o mercy_n who_o he_o teach_v to_o be_v

the_o opportunity_n and_o instrument_n of_o revenge_n and_o may_v not_o david_n at_o this_o rare_a leisure_n of_o affliction_n just_o cry_v out_o unto_o violent_a saul_n saul_n saul_n why_o persecute_v thou_o i_o thus_o have_v you_o see_v david_n violent_a man_n but_o now_o will_v you_o see_v his_o violent_a god_n behold_v the_o art_n of_o divine_a vengeance_n the_o loss_n of_o saul_n life_n must_v not_o cost_v david_n the_o loss_n of_o his_o innocence_n he_o have_v for_o a_o long_a time_n persecute_v david_n and_o now_o he_o return_v to_o persecute_v himself_o david_n find_v a_o wilderness_n to_o hide_v himself_o from_o saul_n but_o saul_n can_v find_v no_o wilderness_n to_o hide_v himself_o from_o himself_o his_o own_o fear_n and_o his_o sword_n quick_o dispatch_v he_o it_o have_v be_v too_o much_o glory_n to_o fall_v by_o the_o riotorious_a hand_n of_o david_n it_o have_v be_v too_o much_o content_a to_o fall_v by_o the_o command_v hand_n of_o his_o own_o servant_n david_n be_v revenge_v when_o saul_n be_v slay_v but_o god_n be_v revenge_v when_o saul_n slay_v himself_o the_o heart_n of_o the_o king_n be_v in_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n and_o be_v not_o the_o
