innocent_a and_o have_v that_o day_n be_v god_n instrument_n of_o so_o great_a salvation_n unto_o israel_n nay_o peter_n martyr_n add_v further_a that_o if_o the_o people_n do_v any_o more_o than_o

strengthen_v himself_o against_o saul_n to_o which_o i_o answer_v that_o i_o find_v not_o in_o scripture_n that_o david_n ever_o strike_v up_o the_o drum_n or_o use_v any_o mean_n to_o call_v or_o gather_v man_n unto_o he_o for_o any_o such_o end_n indeed_o it_o be_v say_v 22.2_o 1_o sam._n 22.2_o that_o many_o that_o be_v afflict_v as_o he_o be_v gather_v themselves_o unto_o he_o and_o he_o

as_o doeg_n be_v in_o favour_n they_o may_v well_o pretend_v that_o the_o king_n have_v ill_a counsellor_n about_o he_o yet_o we_o read_v not_o of_o any_o violence_n that_o be_v use_v to_o remove_v they_o nay_o very_o easy_o may_v david_n have_v revenge_v himself_o upon_o the_o ziphites_n that_o do_v their_o good_a will_n to_o betray_v he_o into_o saul_n hand_n if_o his_o conscience_n will_v have_v serve_v he_o to_o kill_v any_o of_o the_o king_n subject_n against_o the_o mind_n of_o the_o king_n whereas_o you_o say_v that_o you_o gather_v from_o 1_o chron._n 12._o that_o david_n be_v 40000_o strong_a in_o the_o day_n of_o saul_n and_o it_o be_v probable_a he_o do_v not_o lie_v still_o with_o his_o great_a army_n i_o answer_v it_o be_v not_o apparent_a that_o all_o those_o captain_n mention_v in_o that_o chapter_n bring_v all_o their_o man_n with_o they_o yet_o if_o it_o be_v so_o it_o make_v against_o you_o that_o david_n be_v so_o strong_a shall_v always_o flee_v from_o saul_n when_o pursue_v by_o he_o and_o resist_v never_o much_o less_o seek_v after_o he_o shall_v get_v he_o out_o of_o saul_n kingdom_n with_o so_o many_o man_n follow_v he_o and_o beg_v a_o place_n to_o dwell_v in_o of_o achish_a king_n of_o gath._n but_o sir_n the_o truth_n be_v david_n be_v never_o above_o 600_o strong_a till_o about_o the_o time_n that_o ziglag_n be_v burn_v which_o be_v about_o the_o time_n of_o saul_n death_n and_o that_o great_a concourse_n of_o man_n mention_v 1_o chron._n 12._o come_v then_o to_o he_o it_o may_v be_v probable_a that_o they_o flee_v from_o the_o battle_n wherein_o saul_n be_v slay_v for_o the_o text_n say_v vers_fw-la 21._o some_o of_o they_o help_v david_n against_o the_o rover_n and_o vers_fw-la 22_o 23._o it_o be_v say_v they_o come_v to_o he_o to_o turn_v the_o kingdom_n of_o saul_n to_o he_o according_a to_o the_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n it_o be_v well_o know_v in_o israel_n that_o david_n be_v appoint_v to_o succeed_v saul_n and_o who_o will_v not_o at_o such_o a_o time_n look_v to_o the_o sunrising_n thus_o to_o my_o apprehension_n the_o second_o example_n be_v as_o far_o from_o the_o mark_n as_o the_o former_a beside_o david_n be_v a_o extraordinary_a person_n full_a of_o god_n spirit_n and_o by_o unction_n design_v of_o god_n unto_o the_o kingdom_n his_o example_n in_o such_o a_o case_n be_v not_o proper_a 23._o sam._n 23._o the_o three_o you_o allege_v be_v the_o business_n at_o keilah_n it_o be_v suppose_v say_v you_o that_o david_n will_v have_v defend_v that_o town_n against_o the_o king_n if_o

david_n it_o seem_v though_o he_o be_v 600_o strong_a in_o that_o town_n will_v not_o venture_v upon_o it_o for_o to_o hold_v it_o until_o he_o know_v whether_o he_o shall_v have_v the_o good_a will_n of_o the_o inhabitant_n he_o do_v not_o seize_v upon_o it_o on_o the_o sudden_a whether_o the_o king_n and_o they_o will_v or_o no_o before_o they_o be_v aware_a and_o keep_v it_o by_o force_n against_o both_o rob_v kill_a and_o plunder_v his_o fellow_n subject_n but_o to_o the_o place_n the_o text_n say_v vers_fw-la 9_o 23.9_o 1._o sam._n 23.9_o that_o david_n know_v that_o saul_n secret_o

have_v keep_v the_o town_n against_o the_o king_n if_o the_o citizen_n will_v have_v stand_v to_o he_o i_o hope_v it_o may_v be_v lawful_a for_o i_o to_o suppose_v also_o that_o the_o lord_n who_o

who_o be_v so_o bold_a upon_o a_o bare_a supposition_n will_v have_v be_v more_o bold_a if_o more_o can_v be_v upon_o a_o plain_a example_n god_n answer_v therefore_o be_v such_o that_o all_o may_v understand_v if_o they_o please_v his_o refusal_n of_o a_o blessing_n upon_o such_o a_o enterprise_n if_o it_o be_v yet_o urge_v upon_o i_o far_o as_o be_v before_o the_o committee_n what_o i_o
