since_o jonathan_n be_v in_o so_o near_o a_o relation_n to_o david_n as_o his_o brother_n and_o do_v bear_v he_o such_o a_o sincere_a and_o entire_a affection_n can_v free_o wave_v his_o own_o

answer_n in_o these_o three_o thing_n first_o i_o do_v not_o think_v he_o be_v bring_v into_o distress_n by_o any_o fear_n or_o dark_a apprehension_n concern_v the_o eternal_a state_n into_o which_o jonathan_n be_v now_o enter_v sure_o he_o do_v not_o question_v but_o he_o be_v now_o in_o the_o bosom_n of_o divine_a love_n though_o he_o have_v fall_v by_o the_o cruel_a hand_n of_o a_o barbarous_a enemy_n for_o he_o be_v a_o good_a man_n whosoever_o read_v the_o story_n of_o his_o life_n and_o consider_v his_o spirit_n and_o carriage_n will_v find_v therein_o sufficient_a reason_n to_o conclude_v he_o not_o only_o true_o gracious_a but_o a_o person_n of_o a_o excellent_a and_o more_o than_o ordinary_a spirit_n and_o from_o thence_o gather_v whatever_o be_v his_o exit_fw-la out_o of_o this_o world_n he_o have_v a_o entrance_n minister_v to_o he_o abundant_o into_o the_o glorious_a kingdom_n of_o his_o god_n and_o saviour_n his_o die_v upon_o the_o mountain_n of_o gilboa_n can_v not_o at_o all_o hinder_v his_o direct_a speedy_a and_o joyful_a ascent_n to_o the_o mountain_n of_o myrrh_n and_o bed_n of_o spice_n where_o he_o shall_v take_v a_o sweet_a and_o undisturbed_a repose_n to_o all_o everlasting_a he_o have_v indeed_o his_o head_n not_o encircle_v with_o a_o crown_n but_o lay_v in_o the_o dust_n and_o so_o the_o earthly_a throne_n be_v leave_v for_o david_n to_o fill_v but_o he_o be_v advance_v to_o one_o much_o above_o it_o a_o throne_n of_o glory_n in_o heaven_n i_o do_v not_o in_o the_o least_o doubt_n that_o david_n be_v abundant_o

satisfy_v about_o the_o happy_a exchange_n jonathan_n have_v make_v and_o the_o goodness_n of_o that_o condition_n in_o which_o he_o now_o be_v that_o if_o he_o may_v return_v again_o to_o be_v as_o he_o be_v before_o he_o will_v not_o nor_o leave_v the_o clear_a vision_n and_o immediate_a communion_n with_o the_o son_n and_o lord_n of_o david_n for_o a_o fresh_a and_o further_a enjoyment_n of_o david_n himself_o instead_o of_o make_v a_o descent_n to_o this_o low_a dirty_a and_o troublesome_a world_n he_o will_v choose_v to_o continue_v where_o he_o now_o be_v and_o take_v some_o delight_n in_o the_o thought_n of_o david_n come_v to_o he_o as_o soon_o as_o he_o have_v serve_v his_o generation_n according_a to_o the_o will_n of_o god_n and_o finish_v the_o work_n give_v he_o to_o do_v but_o second_o i_o judge_v he_o bring_v into_o this_o distress_n by_o a_o reflection_n upon_o the_o manner_n of_o jonathan_n death_n that_o he_o do_v not_o die_v in_o a_o natural_a way_n but_o be_v cut_v off_o in_o his_o prime_n and_o flourish_a age_n by_o a_o violent_a stroke_n and_o that_o which_o be_v gall_n in_o the_o cup_n give_v by_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o uncircumcised_a it_o pain_v he_o at_o the_o very_a heart_n to_o think_v that_o that_o brave_a prince_n who_o have_v be_v so_o eminent_o valiant_a and_o prosperous_a in_o fight_v the_o battle_n of_o israel_n who_o bow_n turn_v not_o
