two_o remarkable_a virtue_n shine_v therein_o the_o first_o be_v confidence_n in_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o psalm_n king_n david_n seem_v to_o be_v a_o very_a wretch_n so_o sinful_a that_o he_o may_v

bold_a to_o pray_v for_o other_o for_o the_o whole_a kingdom_n yea_o for_o the_o whole_a body_n of_o the_o church_n he_o presume_v to_o importune_v god_n to_o bestow_v the_o great_a of_o his_o temporal_a and_o spiritual_a blessing_n and_o the_o conscience_n of_o sin_n must_v not_o so_o dishearten_v we_o but_o when_o we_o have_v make_v our_o own_o peace_n we_o may_v become_v suitor_n for_o other_o also_o it_o be_v a_o argument_n of_o the_o communion_n of_o saint_n and_o christ_n out_o of_o a_o fellow-feeling_n have_v teach_v we_o to_o say_v our_o father_n 2.1_o 1._o tim._n 2.1_o yea_o the_o apostle_n will_v we_o to_o pray_v for_o all_o man_n but_o as_o we_o must_v pray_v with_o this_o confidence_n like_o david_n so_o must_v we_o be_v like_o david_n in_o season_v our_o prayer_n with_o compassion_n though_o we_o do_v well_o enough_o ourselves_o yet_o must_v we_o not_o be_v senseless_a of_o other_o man_n want_n nor_o find_v ease_n in_o ease_n while_o other_o be_v in_o danger_n especial_o if_o ourselves_o have_v be_v the_o cause_n of_o their_o danger_n as_o david_n be_v who_o as_o much_o as_o lay_v in_o he_o expose_v all_o israel_n to_o ruin_n and_o destruction_n he_o have_v reason_n therefore_o to_o remember_v it_o in_o his_o prayer_n and_o desire_v god_n to_o be_v gracious_a unto_o it_o god_n have_v visit_v our_o land_n with_o a_o plague_n of_o rain_n and_o no_o doubt_n
