to_o live_v and_o take_v the_o crown_n 3._o he_o may_v have_v say_v if_o i_o leave_v david_n at_o this_o time_n and_o fight_v with_o the_o philistine_n and_o be_v beat_v he_o will_v get_v a_o power_n

of_o god_n have_v not_o profess_v repentance_n renounce_v their_o former_a course_n and_o declare_v themselves_o for_o cause_n and_o covenant_n i_o doubt_v not_o but_o it_o shall_v be_v find_v that_o

good_a jehojada_n will_v have_v the_o crown_n put_v upon_o his_o head_n it_o may_v be_v question_v why_o they_o go_v about_o this_o coronation_n in_o a_o time_n of_o so_o great_a hazard_n when_o

take_v away_o the_o controversy_n with_o the_o royal_a family_n that_o the_o crown_n may_v be_v fasten_v sure_o upon_o the_o king_n head_n without_o fall_v or_o totter_v 2._o trouble_n and_o

at_o the_o worst_a when_o there_o be_v so_o great_a commotion_n wherein_o the_o crown_n be_v direct_o aim_v at_o sure_o it_o must_v be_v a_o totter_a crown_n at_o the_o least_o especial_o when_o
