instance_n i_o shall_v begin_v with_o be_v that_o of_o david_n when_o king_n saul_n seek_v to_o take_v his_o life_n away_o that_o he_o may_v secure_v the_o kingdom_n the_o better_a to_o his_o

train_n for_o otherwise_o it_o have_v be_v far_o more_o easy_a for_o he_o to_o have_v escape_v private_o by_o himself_o or_o one_o or_o two_o with_o he_o than_o with_o 600_o man_n at_o his_o back_n and_o it_o may_v likewise_o be_v evineed_a from_o his_o word_n to_o abiathar_n who_o flee_v to_o david_n when_o doeg_n the_o ed●mite_n by_o the_o appointment_n of_o saul_n cut_v off_o all_o his_o

to_o take_v he_o what_o comfort_n can_v that_o be_v to_o abiathar_n that_o upon_o a_o party_n of_o they_o come_v against_o they_o he_o will_v surrender_v himself_o and_o so_o he_o will_v bear_v

he_o shall_v have_v no_o reason_n to_o fear_v which_o make_v he_o to_o seek_v no_o more_o than_o only_o to_o shun_v encounter_v with_o he_o but_o have_v he_o be_v so_o shut_v up_o as_o that_o there_o
