die_v too_o by_o the_o hand_n of_o violence_n for_o he_o be_v slay_v in_o the_o day_n of_o battle_n as_o he_o be_v endeavour_v to_o oppose_v the_o king_n of_o egypt_n and_o to_o stop_v his_o march_n

be_v a_o just_a occasion_n for_o so_o great_a a_o grief_n because_o it_o be_v so_o plain_a a_o indication_n of_o god_n displeasure_n against_o they_o and_o so_o clear_a a_o prognostic_n of_o calamity_n and_o misery_n which_o will_v follow_v upon_o it_o for_o though_o king_n must_v die_v like_o other_o man_n and_o though_o there_o seem_v nothing_o extraordinary_a in_o the_o untimely_a

of_o mortal_a man_n be_v equal_o susceptive_a of_o the_o fatal_a impression_n of_o a_o destructive_a violence_n yet_o when_o we_o consider_v far_o that_o the_o providence_n of_o god_n do_v in_o a_o especial_a manner_n superintend_v and_o watch_v over_o good_a man_n and_o in_o a_o more_o particular_a manner_n over_o good_a king_n than_o we_o can_v reflect_v on_o the_o untimely_a and_o violent_a death_n of_o a_o wise_a holy_a and_o just_a king_n without_o be_v convince_v that_o heaven_n be_v high_o offend_v and_o have_v a_o dreadful_a controversy_n with_o the_o nation_n and_o have_v remove_v this_o great_a instrument_n of_o its_o blessing_n out_o of_o the_o way_n that_o so_o its_o wrath_n may_v break_v in_o with_o great_a liberty_n and_o fall_v down_o upon_o it_o with_o all_o the_o

the_o execution_n of_o his_o wrath_n and_o not_o bring_v it_o upon_o they_o in_o his_o day_n and_o therefore_o as_o the_o jew_n be_v warrant_v by_o this_o prophecy_n to_o esteem_v the_o life_n of_o their_o king_n as_o the_o sure_a preservative_n of_o their_o own_o and_o to_o look_v upon_o his_o person_n as_o a_o happy_a skrene_n which_o interpose_v between_o they_o and_o the_o dismal_a terror_n
