their_o way_n as_o a_o hindrance_n to_o their_o base_a design_n meddle_v not_o with_o they_o that_o be_v give_v to_o change_n about_o the_o genuine_a mean_v of_o solomon_n in_o this_o place_n there_o

the_o best_a way_n of_o find_v out_o the_o full_a meaning_n of_o that_o wise_a king_n in_o this_o place_n be_v to_o observe_v well_o the_o state_n of_o those_o time_n wherein_o david_n and_o he_o

it_o will_v appear_v that_o though_o one_o interpretation_n may_v be_v preferable_a to_o another_o yet_o all_o interpretation_n may_v be_v so_o consistent_a as_o to_o deserve_v a_o share_n in_o our_o

the_o king_n kindness_n and_o mercy_n have_v not_o reclaim_v nor_o wrought_v any_o repentance_n in_o they_o but_o they_o be_v the_o very_a same_o man_n still_o and_o as_o ready_a as_o ever_o to_o strike_v at_o the_o government_n and_o be_v only_o embolden_v by_o indulgence_n and_o act_v so_o as_o if_o clemency_n which_o be_v repute_v a_o virtue_n in_o every_o prince_n have_v be_v a_o kind_n of_o hurtful_a vice_n in_o the_o king_n of_o israel_n i_o can_v be_v positive_a that_o this_o be_v the_o direct_a meaning_n of_o solomon_n in_o my_o text_n and_o yet_o out_o of_o respect_n to_o the_o

back_o as_o far_o as_o the_o day_n of_o solomon_n we_o may_v see_v that_o by_o what_o he_o have_v find_v by_o his_o own_o woeful_a experience_n he_o have_v great_a reason_n to_o caution_n all_o the_o world_n for_o the_o future_a to_o have_v nothing_o to_o do_v with_o those_o intractable_a and_o ungrateful_a man_n who_o repent_v not_o of_o their_o disloyalty_n to_o god_n and_o the_o king_n but_o

step_n which_o they_o tread_v in_o before_o if_o we_o look_v into_o the_o second_o book_n of_o samuel_n and_o the_o first_o book_n of_o the_o king_n wherein_o the_o end_n of_o david_n reign_n and_o all_o solomon_n be_v contain_v we_o shall_v find_v that_o the_o whole_a house_n of_o saul_n a_o very_a few_o except_v do_v bear_v a_o inveterate_a hatred_n against_o the_o house_n of_o david_n for_o

and_o to_o recover_v it_o if_o it_o be_v possible_a what_o be_v that_o act_n of_o shimei_n but_o a_o expression_n of_o the_o most_o incurable_a malice_n in_o 2_o sam._n 16._o for_o when_o the_o king_n
