1._o that_o david_n be_v by_o god_n appointment_n and_o samuel_n unction_n the_o next_o in_o succession_n to_o saul_n may_v by_o his_o greediness_n to_o grasp_v the_o sceptre_n be_v tempt_v to_o

nature_n it_o will_v have_v fall_v he_o make_v a_o ill_a conjecture_n it_o appear_v at_o the_o temper_n of_o david_n spirit_n which_o be_v not_o so_o sharp-set_a upon_o the_o dish_n of_o royalty_n however_o tempt_v in_o itself_o and_o to_o vulgar_a appetite_n but_o that_o he_o can_v stay_v till_o god_n providence_n in_o a_o regular_a way_n carve_v it_o to_o he_o how_o much_o mind_n soever_o he_o have_v to_o the_o golden_a apple_n which_o set_v all_o the_o world_n at_o odds_o dominion_n yet_o have_v he_o no_o mind_n to_o have_v the_o tret_n on_o which_o it_o grow_v batter_v to_o make_v it_o fall_v before_o the_o time_n 2._o that_o however_o david_n may_v be_v too_o mortify_v to_o bite_v at_o the_o bait_n of_o ambition_n yet_o secret_a revenge_n may_v tickle_v he_o into_o a_o good_a humour_n when_o he_o understand_v in_o what_o manner_n divine_a vengeance_n have_v overtake_v his_o deadly_a enemy_n and_o implacable_a persecutor_n but_o david_n have_v learn_v that_o a_o gracious_a soul_n be_v frequent_o the_o more_o endanger_v by_o be_v secure_a from_o danger_n that_o a_o state_n of_o persecution_n well_o husband_v be_v the_o most_o feracious_a soil_n for_o grace_n to_o

so_o suffer_v be_v the_o lord_n anoint_v and_o so_o the_o private_a advantage_n accrue_v thereby_o to_o any_o person_n be_v too_o inconsiderable_a a_o compensation_n to_o be_v lay_v in_o balance_n against_o a_o public_a loss_n and_o upon_o this_o account_n his_o politic_n fail_v the_o relator_n in_o his_o second_o presumption_n 3._o that_o david_n have_v be_v in_o arm_n against_o saul_n for_o divers_a year_n and_o be_v at_o this_o time_n in_o a_o posture_n of_o defence_n against_o he_o in_o a_o frontier_n town_n of_o a_o enemy_n country_n these_o consideration_n give_v very_o great_a suspicion_n that_o he_o design_v the_o death_n of_o saul_n himself_o and_o so_o be_v at_o least_o intentional_o a_o partner_n in_o guilt_n with_o he_o who_o effect_v it_o but_o the_o miscreant_n either_o know_v not_o or_o be_v willing_a not_o to_o know_v that_o david_n arm_n be_v mere_o defensive_a not_o offensive_a that_o as_o his_o warrant_n for_o wear_v they_o be_v extraordinary_a and_o much_o different_a from_o other_o subject_n in_o like_a case_n so_o his_o temper_n in_o the_o use_n of_o they_o be_v extraordinary_a also_o and_o last_o that_o he_o have_v more_o than_o once_o give_v evidence_n of_o no_o less_o when_o both_o opportunity_n and_o tentation_n from_o his_o most_o intimate_a friend_n have_v put_v it_o to_o the_o utmost_a trial_n 1_o sam._n 24._o &_o 26._o and_o thus_o be_v he_o mistake_v in_o his_o three_o conjecture_n which_o bottom_v his_o confidence_n and_o possible_o he_o himself_o may_v have_v some_o twinge_n and_o wrenche_n of_o suspicion_n that_o he_o may_v

thus_o to_o relate_v as_o 1._o that_o though_o he_o bring_v the_o tiding_n of_o both_o saul_n and_o jonathans_n death_n yet_o he_o pretend_v not_o to_o have_v any_o such_o particular_a knowledge_n of_o jonathans_n death_n as_o he_o have_v of_o saul_n though_o david_n ask_v he_o concern_v they_o both_o lest_o david_n shall_v by_o the_o circumstance_n of_o his_o own_o relation_n have_v suspect_v he_o guilty_a of_o jonathans_n death_n also_o as_o he_o confess_v himself_o of_o saul_n he_o know_v that_o friendship_n which_o be_v between_o david_n and_o jonathan_n will_v have_v endanger_v he_o to_o a_o more_o severe_a scrutiny_n than_o he_o hope_v he_o shall_v undergo_v for_o saul_n at_o least_o he_o be_v not_o so_o ready_a to_o insist_v on_o that_o part_n of_o the_o story_n which_o he_o know_v be_v the_o most_o unwelcome_a and_o therefore_o choose_v to_o insist_v only_o on_o that_o which_o he_o hope_v will_v be_v better_o entertain_v he_o have_v indeed_o slay_v david_n enemy_n and_o so_o can_v give_v the_o most_o perfect_a relation_n of_o his_o death_n but_o can_v say_v little_a but_o from_o the_o voice_n of_o the_o people_n concern_v the_o death_n of_o his_o friend_n 2._o that_o
