because_o david_n be_v a_o type_n of_o christ._n this_o mention_n of_o david_n place_v here_o be_v to_o let_v the_o king_n see_v that_o the_o readiness_n of_o his_o comfort_n flow_v from_o the_o

in_o this_o preface_n he_o call_v david_n the_o king_n father_n as_o if_o he_o will_v say_v the_o man_n who_o i_o love_v so_o well_o i_o see_v he_o to_o be_v thy_o father_n and_o thou_o to_o be_v

mark_v as_o soon_o as_o he_o be_v command_v to_o go_v lesson_n he_o stay_v not_o but_o so_o soon_o as_o god_n say_v the_o word_n he_o obey_v he_o make_v no_o doubt_v he_o aâ—keth_v no_o reason_n at_o

against_o god_n where_o if_o he_o have_v be_v command_v in_o such_o suddainnes_n to_o go_v and_o recall_v his_o sentence_n you_o may_v easy_o conjecture_v what_o shall_v have_v be_v his_o part_n this_o perturbation_n that_o be_v in_o jonas_n let_v we_o see_v that_o he_o be_v ignorant_a of_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o threaten_n of_o god_n for_o if_o he_o have_v understand_v that_o in_o all_o

thus_o far_o we_o proceed_v in_o the_o first_o circumstance_n upon_o this_o we_o gather_v and_o let_v you_o see_v where_o the_o king_n lie_v it_o behove_v he_o to_o have_v be_v lay_v in_o his_o own_o

for_o the_o lord_n be_v not_o bind_v to_o any_o second_o instrument_n but_o of_o a_o voluntary_a and_o free_a obligation_n he_o have_v oblige_v himself_o to_o utter_v his_o power_n and_o to_o work_v by_o they_o here_o i_o wish_v you_o in_o my_o exhortation_n be_v diligent_a hearer_n of_o the_o word_n be_v not_o deceive_v with_o your_o foolish_a conceit_n i_o will_v read_v as_o good_a at_o home_n

who_o all_o the_o comfort_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n be_v ground_v without_o who_o there_o be_v no_o true_a comfort_n second_o in_o this_o preface_n he_o be_v call_v david_n son_n not_o only_o by_o nature_n but_o by_o grace_n and_o therefore_o the_o whole_a promise_n of_o grace_n make_v unto_o david_n justly_o appertain_v to_o he_o whereas_o otherwise_o if_o he_o have_v be_v his_o son_n by_o nature_n only_o the_o promise_n of_o grace_n have_v no_o more_o concern_v he_o in_o particular_a than_o they_o concern_v his_o father_n achas_n but_o because_o by_o grace_n he_o be_v make_v the_o

the_o son_n of_o our_o faithful_a predecessor_n there_o be_v two_o thing_n mark_v in_o the_o preface_n first_o the_o prophet_n return_v not_o until_o he_o get_v a_o command_n the_o lesson_n be_v this_o to_o officebearer_n in_o their_o call_n to_o enterprise_v nothing_o in_o god_n affair_n until_o they_o get_v his_o own_o advice_n the_o other_o thing_n we_o see_v in_o he_o a_o wonderful_a and_o ready_a obedience_n to_o god_n for_o suppose_v the_o prophet_n see_v his_o threaten_n in_o a_o instant_n of_o time_n to_o be_v turn_v in_o mercy_n yet_o he_o be_v not_o angry_a but_o rejoice_v to_o see_v the_o lord_n work_v so_o with_o this_o king_n upon_o this_o we_o gather_v a_o lesson_n for_o teacher_n they_o shall_v not_o be_v move_v great_o when_o they_o see_v the_o lord_n threaten_n in_o a_o instant_n of_o time_n if_o it_o be_v possible_a turn_v in_o mercy_n i_o think_v there_o be_v none_o as_o i_o speak_v then_o but_o they_o will_v be_v exceed_o rejoice_v to_o see_v these_o

he_o will_v be_v exceed_o rejoice_v to_o see_v the_o lord_n work_v so_o that_o the_o minister_n have_v as_o great_a occasion_n to_o comfort_v as_o he_o have_v to_o threaten_v i_o think_v also_o that_o there_o be_v none_o that_o fear_v god_n who_o will_v not_o rejoice_v to_o see_v the_o magistrate_n who_o be_v the_o overseer_n and_o shall_v take_v order_n with_o these_o bloody_a man_n there_o be_v none_o but_o he_o will_v rejoice_v to_o see_v the_o threaten_n which_o be_v just_o pronounce_v and_o shall_v as_o just_o light_v if_o they_o be_v not_o prevent_v to_o be_v turn_v in_o mercy_n but_o sure_o there_o be_v no_o hope_n of_o it_o for_o iniquity_n grow_v so_o and_o it_o be_v come_v to_o such_o a_o maturity_n that_o sure_o the_o lord_n from_o heaven_n will_v take_v vengeance_n on_o it_o if_o the_o magistrate_n put_v not_o to_o his_o hand_n in_o time_n on_o the_o other_o part_n we_o learn_v of_o isaiah_n to_o blow_v mercy_n when_o the_o lord_n bid_v and_o to_o sound_a judgement_n when_o the_o lord_n bid_v for_o see_v the_o lord_n have_v appoint_v we_o to_o be_v his_o mouth_n we_o must_v not_o speak_v what_o we_o please_v for_o so_o we_o be_v not_o the_o lord_n mouth_n but_o our_o own_o mouth_n so_o he_o that_o take_v upon_o he_o to_o be_v his_o mouth_n let_v he_o sound_v as_o the_o lord_n bid_v he_o in_o the_o narrative_n he_o say_v he_o hear_v the_o king_n prayer_n and_o as_o he_o hear_v the_o king_n prayer_n so_o he_o hear_v the_o prayer_n and_o see_v the_o tear_n of_o the_o oppress_a of_o this_o land_n which_o the_o magistrate_n shall_v both_o hear_v and_o see_v and_o as_o he_o hear_v they_o so_o he_o have_v gather_v their_o tear_n in_o his_o viol_n and_o in_o his_o own_o time_n he_o will_v provide_v a_o remedy_n last_o he_o pronounce_v three_o thing_n unto_o he_o health_n of_o the_o body_n length_n of_o day_n and_o a_o sure_a and_o prosperous_a estate_n which_o never_o enter_v in_o his_o mind_n to_o seek_v and_o therefore_o i_o exhort_v he_o that_o be_v present_a and_o you_o all_o what_o so_o ever_o you_o want_v seek_v it_o of_o god_n seek_v it_o in_o christ_n jesus_n whether_o it_o be_v for_o the_o soul_n or_o body_n in_o he_o be_v place_v full_a treasure_n for_o both_o if_o you_o keep_v you_o in_o the_o favour_n of_o god_n and_o keep_v you_o in_o his_o protection_n nothing_o shall_v hurt_v you_o and_o by_o the_o contrary_a if_o you_o

natural_a light_n much_o more_o supernatural_a who_o think_v that_o the_o lord_n have_v take_v away_o his_o hand_n suppose_v he_o strike_v not_o indeed_o he_o have_v withdraw_v his_o hand_n to_o let_v we_o see_v the_o force_n of_o our_o prayer_n and_o to_o try_v we_o how_o we_o will_v use_v this_o benefit_n but_o see_v it_o be_v so_o high_o abuse_v if_o there_o be_v no_o other_o thing_n but_o the_o

but_o this_o spare_n be_v of_o the_o lord_n benignity_n he_o let_v they_o hoard_v up_o sin_n against_o the_o day_n of_o wrath_n i_o insist_v no_o further_o in_o it_o receive_v now_o follow_v in_o

that_o we_o read_v of_o none_o better_o in_o any_o king_n except_o that_o which_o be_v in_o the_o 51._o psal._n he_o have_v set_v down_o a_o song_n of_o lamentation_n to_o testify_v his_o infirmity_n and_o disease_n and_o he_o have_v set_v down_o a_o song_n of_o praise_n to_o testify_v his_o thankfulness_n towards_o god_n song_n this_o song_n stand_v of_o three_o part_n in_o the_o first_o part_n he_o let_v we_o see_v the_o great_a trouble_n and_o perplexity_n whereinto_o he_o be_v fall_v what_o he_o say_v and_o what_o he_o do_v in_o his_o trouble_n in_o the_o second_o part_n he_o make_v a_o

the_o course_n of_o other_o common_a christian_n you_o may_v learn_v to_o follow_v a_o king_n take_v heed_n then_o unto_o the_o course_n of_o his_o life_n in_o the_o 14_o year_n of_o his_o reign_n he_o be_v threaten_v by_o the_o king_n of_o ashur_n he_o be_v threaten_v by_o two_o sundry_a ambassador_n and_o god_n his_o master_n and_o he_o himself_o be_v in_o their_o face_n blaspheme_v after_o

so_o here_o you_o see_v prayer_n and_o praise_n be_v his_o chief_a exercise_n now_o he_o be_v not_o so_o soon_o deliver_v but_o he_o fall_v in_o the_o hand_n of_o a_o terrible_a plague_n and_o death_n

that_o though_o he_o answer_v he_o not_o at_o first_o yet_o he_o be_v not_o deaf_a but_o accomplish_v his_o desire_n in_o draw_v he_o out_o of_o his_o misery_n in_o the_o which_o he_o lay_v which_o
