example_n be_v that_o of_o david_n saul_n be_v a_o wicked_a apostate_n king_n 1._o from_o who_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n the_o inward_a anoint_v be_v depart_v saul_n reject_v from_o reign_v over_o israel_n so_o by_o god_n himself_o declare_v david_n in_o his_o stead_n by_o god_n provide_v to_o be_v king_n and_o to_o that_o end_n by_o god_n command_v anoint_v by_o all_o which_o david_n privilege_n than_o be_v more_o above_o the_o privilege_n of_o all_o subject_n now_o than_o saul_n privilege_n of_o that_o time_n be_v above_o the_o privilege_n of_o king_n at_o this_o day_n and_o yet_o david_n for_o all_o those_o circumstance_n so_o much_o authorise_v he_o and_o disauthorize_v saul_n do_v not_o know_v who_o can_v lay_v his_o hand_n upon_o the_o lord_n anoint_n and_o be_v guiltless_a nay_o 26.9_o he_o do_v but_o lay_v his_o hand_n upon_o saul_n garment_n to_o cut_v off_o the_o lap_n for_o a_o testimony_n of_o his_o loyalty_n 24.6_o and_o innocent_a intention_n towards_o saul_n and_o yet_o even_o for_o that_o say_v the_o text_n his_o heart_n smite_v he_o that_o he_o cry_v out_o the_o lord_n forbid_v i_o shall_v do_v that_o thing_n to_o my_o master_n to_o lay_v my_o hand_n upon_o the_o lord_n anoint_n his_o reason_n we_o may_v know_v in_o the_o other_o word_n of_o his_o the_o lord_n shall_v smite_v he_o or_o his_o day_n shall_v come_v to_o die_v or_o he_o shall_v descend_v into_o battle_n and_o perish_v the_o lord_n keep_v i_o from_o lay_v my_o hand_n upon_o he_o plain_o infer_v that_o to_o call_v prince_n to_o account_n belong_v only_o to_o god_n that_o god_n have_v time_n and_o way_n of_o his_o own_o to_o do_v it_o in_o and_o will_v do_v it_o and_o that_o therefore_o man_n must_v not_o meddle_v with_o the_o do_n of_o it_o for_o if_o anoint_a david_n may_v not_o intermeddle_v with_o reject_a saul_n much_o less_o may_v common_a subject_n meddle_v with_o their_o unrejected_a sovereign_n sufficient_o therefore_o do_v these_o example_n show_v
