of_o the_o apostle_n who_o when_o they_o be_v to_o

preach_v to_o all_o the_o world_n be_v so_o afraid_a of_o distinction_n and_o division_n in_o their_o church_n that_o before_o they_o part_v it_o be_v general_o suppose_a they_o agree_v of_o a_o

for_o general_o speak_v all_o side_n be_v so_o apt_a to_o value_v themselves_o upon_o they_o that_o they_o be_v ready_a with_o the_o man_n in_o the_o prophet_n isaiah_n 65._o 5._o to_o cry_n stand_v

give_v we_o a_o infallible_a criterion_n whereby_o we_o may_v know_v whether_o we_o love_v god_n or_o no_o for_o he_o tell_v we_o 1_o epist_n 4._o 20._o if_o a_o man_n say_v he_o love_v god_n and_o

the_o proof_n of_o our_o love_n to_o he_o and_o our_o saviour_n have_v make_v it_o the_o badge_n of_o our_o discipleship_n by_o this_o shall_v all_o man_n know_v that_o you_o be_v my_o disciple_n if_o

or_o two_o about_o david_n who_o example_n though_o so_o much_o recommend_v may_v perhaps_o carry_v we_o far_o and_o give_v great_a liberty_n than_o the_o person_n of_o quality_n ever_o desire_v for_o i_o will_v assure_v you_o defensive_a arm_n will_v at_o any_o time_n content_v he_o 39_o but_o our_o author_n be_v please_v to_o ask_v how_o it_o appear_v david_n take_v up_o defensive_a arm_n for_o the_o homily_n tell_v we_o of_o no_o such_o thing_n but_o i_o can_v tell_v he_o of_o as_o authentic_a a_o book_n that_o do_v nay_o that_o tell_v we_o a_o little_a more_o of_o david_n for_o if_o he_o will_v please_v to_o read_v 1_o sam._n 28._o 2._o and_o 29._o 8._o he_o will_v find_v it_o be_v not_o david_n fault_n that_o he_o do_v not_o use_v offensive_a weapon_n against_o saul_n if_o fight_v against_o he_o be_v to_o be_v call_v so_o for_o if_o we_o may_v believe_v his_o own_o word_n he_o certain_o intend_v that_o as_o you_o may_v see_v 1_o sam._n 28._o and_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v in_o those_o day_n that_o the_o philistine_n gather_v their_o army_n together_o for_o warfare_n to_o fight_v with_o israel_n and_o achish_n say_v anto_n david_n know_v thou_o assure_o that_o thou_o shall_v go_v out_o with_o i_o to_o battle_n thou_o and_o thy_o men._n and_o david_n say_v to_o achish_n sure_o thou_o shall_v know_v what_o thy_o servant_n can_v do_v and_o achish_n say_v to_o david_n therefore_o will_v i_o make_v thou_o keeper_n of_o my_o head_n for_o ever_o and_o in_o pursuance_n of_o this_o we_o find_v david_n and_o his_o man_n attend_v achish_n the_o very_a day_n before_o the_o battle_n as_o his_o particular_a guard_n which_o perhaps_o may_v be_v one_o thing_n that_o disgust_v the_o lord_n of_o the_o philistine_n so_o that_o they_o will_v not_o let_v he_o go_v to_o fight_v with_o they_o and_o achish_a against_o his_o will_n be_v force_v to_o dismiss_v david_n who_o expostulation_n chap._n 29._o 8._o be_v very_o remarkable_a for_o i_o think_v it_o be_v one_o of_o the_o most_o passionate_a thing_n of_o the_o kind_n i_o have_v meet_v with_o and_o david_n say_v unto_o achish_n but_o what_o have_v i_o do_v and_o what_o have_v thou_o find_v in_o thy_o servant_n so_o long_o as_o i_o have_v be_v with_o thou_o unto_o this_o day_n that_o i_o may_v not_o go_v fight_n against_o the_o enemy_n of_o my_o lord_n the_o king_n and_o achish_n be_v force_v to_o command_v he_o a_o second_o time_n for_o you_o see_v he_o dispute_v the_o first_o which_o satisfy_v i_o that_o he_o be_v in_o earnest_n and_o be_v unwilling_a to_o return_v and_o now_o what_o can_v be_v say_v against_o so_o plain_a a_o text_n for_o my_o own_o part_n i_o can_v foresee_v but_o two_o thing_n the_o first_o that_o david_n do_v dissemble_v with_o achish_n and_o do_v not_o intend_v to_o fight_v but_o that_o i_o think_v be_v a_o very_a unworthy_a thought_n for_o david_n have_v be_v a_o very_a base_a and_o ungrateful_a man_n to_o have_v either_o deceive_v or_o betray_v achish_n who_o have_v give_v he_o protection_n and_o be_v so_o true_o kind_a to_o he_o the_o second_o thing_n be_v that_o a_o subject_a may_v listen_v himself_o under_o a_o foreign_a prince_n and_o in_o his_o quarrel_n lawful_o fight_v against_o their_o own_o king_n and_o if_o so_o than_o all_o that_o list_v themselves_o under_o the_o prince_n of_o orange_n may_v still_o be_v as_o good_a subject_n to_o king_n james_n as_o david_n at_o that_o time_n be_v to_o saul_n and_o as_o to_o the_o proof_n of_o his_o take_n up_o defensive_a arm_n he_o may_v find_v that_o 1_o sam._n 22._o 2._o and_o every_o one_o that_o be_v in_o distress_n and_o every_o one_o that_o be_v in_o debt_n and_o every_o one_o that_o be_v discontent_v gather_v themselves_o unto_o he_o and_o he_o become_v captain_n over_o they_o and_o here_o be_v as_o formal_a levy_n of_o war_n as_o i_o think_v can_v be_v desire_v and_o if_o it_o be_v not_o to_o defend_v himself_o i_o know_v not_o to_o what_o purpose_v it_o be_v for_o if_o he_o desire_v only_a flight_n he_o may_v have_v do_v that_o safe_a as_o well_o as_o privater_o by_o himself_o than_o with_o a_o army_n nor_o be_v that_o army_n of_o any_o use_n as_o to_o the_o gain_n of_o the_o crown_n after_o saul_n death_n for_o god_n command_v he_o to_o go_v and_o live_v at_o hebron_n where_o the_o man_n of_o judah_n of_o their_o own_o accord_n go_v down_o and_o make_v he_o king_n as_o he_o will_v find_v 2_o sam._n 2._o so_o that_o so_o many_o hundred_o man_n from_o the_o begin_n to_o the_o end_n be_v of_o no_o use_n unless_o it_o be_v to_o defend_v he_o against_o saul_n and_o that_o he_o do_v design_n to_o have_v garrison_v keilah_n but_o that_o god_n tell_v he_o the_o man_n of_o the_o place_n will_v betray_v he_o i_o think_v nothing_o can_v be_v more_o evident_a from_o any_o text_n in_o spite_n of_o all_o the_o author_n comment_n but_o now_o he_o refer_v i_o to_o the_o last_o homily_n against_o rebellion_n as_o i_o do_v he_o to_o the_o second_o 42._o and_o ask_v i_o whether_o king_n john_n subject_n take_v up_o only_o defensive_a arm_n but_o by_o bishop_n bilson_n excellent_a rule_n above_o cite_v neither_o he_o nor_o i_o ought_v to_o judge_v they_o because_o we_o do_v not_o nor_o can_v know_v all_o their_o circumstance_n for_o historian_n be_v seldom_o so_o impartial_a as_o to_o give_v we_o all_o thing_n in_o their_o true_a colour_n but_o the_o design_n of_o that_o homily_n be_v only_o to_o show_v the_o intolerableness_n of_o the_o romish_a yoke_n and_o how_o impossible_a it_o be_v for_o they_o that_o depend_v on_o and_o obey_v the_o pope_n to_o be_v good_a subject_n but_o as_o for_o king_n john_n himself_o he_o have_v be_v as_o great_a a_o traitor_n and_o use_v he_o that_o shall_v have_v be_v his_o sovereign_n as_o ill_o as_o his_o subject_n can_v do_v he_o for_o all_o the_o world_n know_v that_o he_o first_o usurp_v the_o crown_n and_o then_o kill_v prince_n arthur_n that_o be_v the_o true_a heir_n and_o true_o if_o their_o present_a majesty_n will_v have_v pursue_v king_n john_n method_n they_o may_v before_o this_o have_v have_v as_o indisputable_a a_o title_n and_o have_v as_o much_o right_o to_o have_v be_v call_v natural_a sovereign_a lord_n as_o king_n john_n have_v but_o shall_v they_o have_v the_o less_o respect_n and_o be_v the_o worse_o think_v on_o because_o they_o spare_v the_o life_n of_o our_o late_a unfortunate_a king_n and_o suffer_v he_o to_o escape_v when_o he_o be_v in_o their_o power_n nay_o will_v not_o abridge_v he_o of_o his_o liberty_n although_o they_o know_v he_o will_v use_v it_o against_o their_o interest_n if_o this_o be_v the_o quarrel_n that_o the_o clergy_n have_v against_o king_n william_n i_o shall_v admire_v their_o politic_n a_o great_a deal_n more_o than_o their_o divinity_n but_o to_o return_v to_o king_n john_n what_o cause_v our_o ancestor_n may_v have_v to_o repent_v they_o of_o their_o war_n against_o he_o i_o know_v not_o but_o i_o believe_v their_o posterity_n think_v they_o have_v not_o much_o for_o it_o produce_v those_o great_a privilege_n wherein_o the_o english_a subject_n glory_n the_o charter_n obtain_v from_o he_o be_v the_o first_o part_n or_o first_o draught_n if_o you_o please_v of_o the_o famous_a magna_fw-la charta_fw-la confirm_v afterward_o by_o henry_n the_o 3d._n who_o the_o homily_n may_v have_v cite_v as_o well_o as_o king_n john_n if_o it_o have_v be_v the_o subject_n rebellion_n and_o not_o the_o pope_n usurpation_n that_o they_o design_v to_o declaim_v against_o but_o although_o i_o be_o very_o far_o from_o

up_o the_o advantage_n they_o hold_v from_o it_o and_o i_o think_v i_o may_v undertake_v to_o call_v back_o both_o king_n james_n and_o popery_n for_o they_o deceive_v themselves_o that_o think_v
