declaration_n of_o this_o double_a and_o triple_a sense_n of_o the_o scripture_n and_o the_o manifold_a commodity_n thereof_o 5.3_o let_v we_o consider_v the_o history_n of_o david_n persecute_v by_o saul_n and_o after_o exalt_v to_o the_o kingdom_n of_o israel_n as_o touch_v the_o letter_n every_o christian_a man_n that_o have_v read_v the_o book_n of_o samuel_n do_v confess_v that_o david_n be_v live_v about_o a_o thousand_o year_n before_o the_o come_n of_o our_o saviour_n in_o the_o flesh_n &_o that_o be_v persecute_v of_o king_n saul_n he_o be_v diverse_a time_n in_o danger_n of_o death_n from_o the_o which_o god_n do_v wonderful_o deliver_v he_o and_o also_o deliver_v saul_n into_o his_o hand_n but_o he_o will_v not_o lay_v hand_n upon_o he_o unto_o death_n and_o when_o tiding_n be_v bring_v he_o that_o saul_n be_v dead_a 1.15_o he_o execute_v the_o messenger_n as_o a_o murderer_n because_o he_o confess_v that_o he_o have_v slay_v he_o 2.4_o then_o he_o be_v proclaim_v king_n and_o after_o that_o he_o be_v establish_v in_o the_o kingdom_n .17_o he_o commit_v adultery_n with_o bethsabe_n and_o cause_v her_o husband_n to_o be_v slay_v and_o do_v other_o thing_n displeasant_a unto_o god_n for_o the_o which_o he_o be_v grievous_o punish_v this_o be_v the_o truth_n of_o the_o letter_n as_o touch_v the_o moral_a we_o learn_v by_o david_n fall_n and_o the_o punishment_n of_o his_o wickedness_n to_o look_v circumspect_o unto_o ourselves_o and_o to_o fear_v the_o judgement_n of_o god_n for_o our_o iniquity_n we_o learn_v by_o his_o whole_a life_n that_o affliction_n be_v a_o good_a schoolmaster_n unto_o godliness_n in_o that_o it_o restrain_v our_o carnal_a lust_n and_o keep_v down_o our_o flesh_n but_o contrariwise_o prosperity_n make_v we_o forget_v the_o law_n of_o god_n for_o david_n in_o adversity_n will_v not_o slay_v saul_n the_o king_n .26.9_o when_o he_o be_v deliver_v into_o his_o hand_n although_o he_o be_v his_o deadly_a enemy_n give_v we_o a_o ensample_n of_o our_o duty_n towards_o our_o prince_n so_o narrow_o do_v he_o look_v unto_o his_o path_n but_o in_o prosperity_n he_o neglect_v god_n commandment_n &_o swerve_v from_o his_o ordinance_n by_o commit_v adultery_n murder_n &_o other_o offence_n whereby_o we_o be_v teach_v that_o prosperity_n be_v a_o slippery_a place_n to_o stand_v upon_o it_o be_v like_o a_o high_a steep_a mountain_n narrow_a in_o the_o top_n upon_o the_o which_o a_o man_n stand_v be_v in_o danger_n of_o every_o wind_n to_o be_v blow_v down_o &_o to_o break_v his_o neck_n except_o he_o hold_v fast_o by_o some_o tree_n or_o hide_v himself_o under_o some_o bush_n or_o such_o like_a so_o in_o prosperity_n we_o be_v in_o danger_n of_o every_o assault_n of_o the_o flesh_n world_n &_o devil_n except_o we_o hold_v fast_o by_o a_o true_a faith_n in_o christ_n who_o be_v a_o sure_a stay_n &_o our_o only_a stay_n both_o in_o prosperity_n &_o adversity_n without_o who_o we_o can_v not_o be_v safe_a neither_o in_o the_o mount_v of_o honour_n &_o wealth_n nor_o in_o the_o valley_n of_o affliction_n for_o it_o may_v be_v that_o by_o the_o mean_n of_o much_o rain_n the_o valley_n may_v be_v overflowen_v with_o water_n &_o they_o drown_v that_o dwell_v in_o it_o unless_o they_o save_v themselves_o by_o a_o boat_n or_o such_o other_o mean_n so_o in_o adversity_n we_o be_v in_o danger_n to_o be_v overwhelm_v with_o the_o wave_n of_o affliction_n &_o to_o be_v provoke_v to_o forsake_v god_n except_o we_o cleave_v fast_o unto_o christ_n by_o a_o lively_a faith_n who_o be_v our_o only_a ark_n of_o salvation_n therefore_o david_n do_v not_o say_v i_o trust_v in_o the_o valley_n but_o i_o trust_v in_o the_o lord_n 11.1_o wherefore_o do_v they_o say_v unto_o my_o soul_n fly_v unto_o the_o mountain_n thus_o much_o of_o the_o moral_n in_o the_o history_n of_o david_n there_o be_v in_o it_o also_o a_o allegory_n or_o mystery_n prefigure_v our_o saviour_n christ_n which_o we_o learn_v by_o the_o word_n of_o the_o prophet_n ezechiel_n &_o hoshea_n where_o god_n speak_v in_o they_o after_o this_o sort_n .37.24_o i_o will_v set_v a_o shepherd_n over_o my_o sheep_n &_o he_o shall_v feed_v they_o even_o my_o servant_n david_n he_o shall_v feed_v they_o &_o he_o shall_v be_v their_o shepherd_n &_o i_o the_o lord_n will_v be_v their_o god_n and_o my_o servant_n david_n shall_v be_v the_o prince_n among_o they_o he_o shall_v be_v king_n over_o they_o and_o they_o shall_v have_v one_o shepherd_n and_o my_o servant_n david_n shall_v be_v their_o prince_n for_o ever_o 3.5_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n shall_v turn_v and_o seek_v the_o lord_n their_o god_n &_o david_n their_o king_n and_o shall_v fear_v the_o lord_n &_o his_o goodness_n in_o the_o late_a day_n these_o prophet_n hoshea_n and_o ezechiel_n live_v the_o one_o three_o hundred_o year_n &_o the_o other_o four_o hundred_o year_n after_o david_n therefore_o see_v they_o prophesy_v of_o a_o david_n to_o come_v after_o they_o in_o the_o late_a day_n and_o because_o they_o call_v he_o a_o everlasting_a king_n which_o can_v not_o be_v verify_v of_o david_n literal_o be_v a_o mortal_a man_n it_o be_v evident_a that_o they_o do_v mean_v a_o other_o prefigure_v by_o david_n that_o be_v to_o say_v our_o saviour_n who_o govern_v the_o true_a israelite_n that_o be_v to_o say_v the_o elect_a people_n of_o god_n for_o ever_o who_o also_o in_o the_o gospel_n call_v himself_o the_o good_a shepherd_n 10.11_o give_v we_o to_o understand_v that_o he_o be_v that_o david_n the_o shepherd_n of_o god_n people_n of_o who_o the_o prophet_n do_v speak_v therefore_o the_o history_n of_o david_n be_v mystical_o expound_v thus_o david_n in_o adversity_n thereby_o bring_v down_o as_o i_o may_v say_v unto_o hell_n do_v signify_v our_o saviour_n take_v our_o nature_n upon_o he_o and_o debace_v himself_o unto_o the_o low_a degree_n humble_v himself_o unto_o the_o death_n even_o unto_o the_o death_n of_o the_o cross_n and_o david_n deliver_v from_o his_o enemy_n and_o place_v in_o the_o kingdom_n do_v signify_v our_o saviour_n rise_v from_o death_n and_o ascend_v unto_o heaven_n where_o he_o be_v exalt_v unto_o the_o right_a hand_n of_o god_n and_o govern_v all_o the_o world_n thus_o this_o history_n may_v true_o be_v expound_v whereby_o we_o may_v understand_v that_o in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n much_o more_o be_v to_o be_v consider_v than_o the_o letter_n at_o the_o first_o sight_n offer_v unto_o we_o after_o this_o sort_n also_o the_o apostle_n teach_v we_o to_o expound_v the_o history_n of_o solomon_n david_n son_n 7.13_o god_n say_v unto_o david_n that_o he_o will_v give_v he_o a_o son_n who_o throne_n he_o will_v establish_v for_o ever_o and_o he_o will_v be_v his_o father_n and_o he_o shall_v be_v his_o son_n where_o the_o letter_n direct_v we_o unto_o solomon_n 2.46_o who_o then_o have_v establish_v the_o kingdom_n unto_o himself_o when_o he_o have_v put_v to_o death_n those_o that_o rebel_v against_o he_o and_o his_o father_n but_o the_o holy_a ghost_n in_o the_o person_n of_o solomon_n as_o in_o a_o type_n and_o figure_n teach_v we_o that_o our_o saviour_n christ_n have_v subdue_v all_o the_o enemy_n of_o his_o father_n and_o of_o himself_o shall_v reign_v for_o ever_o quiet_o with_o his_o faithful_a servant_n that_o harken_v unto_o his_o law_n &_o submit_v themselves_o unto_o his_o government_n unto_o this_o exposition_n the_o apostle_n lead_v we_o where_o he_o appli_v the_o word_n of_o almighty_a god_n unto_o our_o saviour_n 1.4_o say_v christ_n be_v so_o much_o the_o more_o excellent_a than_o angel_n as_o he_o have_v get_v he_o a_o more_o excellent_a name_n than_o they_o for_o unto_o which_o of_o the_o angel_n say_v he_o at_o any_o

expound_v the_o word_n to_o be_v speak_v of_o our_o saviour_n which_o literal_o do_v appertain_v unto_o solomon_n i_o say_v that_o solomon_n be_v a_o figure_n of_o our_o saviour_n &_o that_o in_o
