david_n and_o bathsheba_n to_o begin_v with_o the_o woman_n after_o a_o while_o she_o perceive_v that_o she_o have_v conceive_v with_o child_n and_o now_o she_o fear_v lest_o the_o world_n will_v take_v knowledge_n of_o her_o lewd_a demeanour_n because_o her_o husband_n have_v be_v so_o long_o from_o home_n now_o therefore_o though_o secret_o she_o begin_v to_o weep_v to_o mourn_v and_o to_o make_v lamentation_n here_o be_v a_o glass_n for_o all_o woman_n to_o look_v in_o even_o bathsheba_n the_o beautiful_a she_o that_o of_o late_o give_v her_o consent_n to_o lascivious_a dalliance_n now_o she_o se'e_v she_o own_o folly_n now_o she_o be_v clothe_v with_o shame_n as_o with_o a_o garment_n those_o radiant_a and_o sparkle_a eye_n which_o so_o dart_v love_n into_o the_o eye_n of_o david_n be_v now_o all_o beblear_v and_o beblubber_v with_o weep_v the_o tear_n run_v down_o her_o blush_a cheek_n she_o wring_v her_o hand_n she_o rend_v her_o golden_a hair_n and_o with_o all_o possible_a speed_n she_o send_v unto_o david_n 5_o say_v i_o be_o with_o child_n as_o though_o she_o shall_v say_v o_o wretch_n that_o i_o be_o now_o my_o sin_n can_v be_v conceal_v no_o long_o the_o matter_n be_v plain_a my_o very_a body_n will_v short_o bewray_v it_o i_o carry_v my_o accusation_n about_o i_o on_o the_o one_o side_n i_o fear_v the_o shame_n of_o the_o world_n on_o the_o other_o the_o danger_n of_o the_o law_n but_o o_o how_o shall_v i_o look_v my_o poor_a husband_n in_o the_o face_n you_o you_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o all_o this_o and_o therefore_o to_o you_o i_o make_v my_o moan_n alas_o alas_o what_o shall_v i_o do_v so_o she_o that_o of_o late_o have_v no_o regard_n of_o conscience_n be_v now_o torment_v with_o a_o accuse_a conscience_n and_o she_o that_o before_o be_v not_o ashamed_a to_o sin_n now_o she_o be_v ashamed_a lest_o her_o sin_n shall_v be_v know_v but_o what_o say_v david_n to_o all_o this_o for_o now_o he_o be_v put_v to_o his_o shift_n true_o he_o show_v himself_o a_o notable_a spectacle_n of_o humane_a frailty_n for_o he_o have_v a_o great_a care_n of_o his_o credit_n then_o of_o his_o conscience_n he_o be_v more_o afraid_a of_o the_o shame_n of_o the_o world_n than_o he_o be_v of_o the_o displeasure_n of_o almighty_n god_n and_o therefore_o he_o do_v palliate_v his_o sin_n to_o avoid_v the_o shame_n but_o he_o do_v not_o repent_v to_o avoid_v the_o displeasure_n and_o so_o much_o of_o the_o first_o motive_n his_o second_o motive_n be_v the_o danger_n of_o his_o darling_n for_o by_o the_o law_n of_o god_n the_o adulteress_n be_v to_o be_v put_v to_o 10_o death_n and_o therefore_o lest_o she_o who_o he_o love_v so_o tender_o shall_v lose_v her_o life_n and_o that_o by_o his_o mean_n he_o bend_v all_o the_o strength_n of_o his_o wit_n to_o conceal_v the_o matter_n hitherto_o of_o the_o motive_n now_o i_o come_v to_o the_o mean_n that_o be_v his_o politic_a practice_n his_o first_o policy_n be_v to_o cloak_n the_o matter_n by_o a_o false_a imputation_n for_o which_o purpose_n urias_n the_o husband_n be_v to_o be_v call_v home_o from_o the_o camp_n to_o the_o end_n that_o he_o converse_v with_o his_o wife_n may_v be_v suppose_v and_o repute_v the_o father_n of_o the_o child_n wherein_o david_n do_v not_o only_a sin_n against_o god_n and_o his_o own_o soul_n but_o moreover_o he_o intend_v three_o notorious_a injury_n the_o first_o against_o the_o poor_a babe_n the_o child_n beget_v of_o his_o own_o body_n which_o by_o this_o mean_v he_o will_v have_v disclaim_v and_o renounce_v even_o before_o it_o be_v bear_v the_o second_o against_o urias_n to_o who_o he_o will_v have_v obtrude_v a_o child_n by_o fraud_n &_o imposture_n the_o three_o against_o the_o heir_n of_o urias_n which_o by_o this_o plot_n may_v have_v be_v disseise_v and_o defraud_v of_o their_o inheritance_n here_o be_v wisdom_n i_o confess_v but_o it_o be_v the_o wisdom_n of_o the_o serpent_n there_o want_v the_o simplicity_n of_o the_o dove_n such_o be_v the_o wisdom_n of_o pharaoh_n who_o say_v 10_o come_v let_v we_o work_v wise_o when_o he_o intend_v to_o oppress_v the_o child_n of_o god_n such_o be_v the_o wisdom_n of_o 28._o jeroboam_fw-la who_o to_o establish_v his_o kingdom_n erect_v a_o standard_n to_o idolatry_n by_o set_v up_o two_o golden_a calf_n in_o dan_n and_o bethel_n this_o be_v wisdom_n but_o not_o according_a unto_o godliness_n wisdom_n do_v i_o say_v or_o rather_o folly_n for_o how_o can_v that_o be_v call_v wisdom_n when_o man_n be_v wise_a to_o do_v evil_a but_o to_o do_v good_a they_o have_v no_o understanding_n and_o i_o dare_v be_v bold_a to_o say_v that_o the_o wisdom_n of_o achitophel_n the_o wisdom_n of_o matchiavel_n and_o all_o wicked_a wisdom_n howsoever_o it_o seem_v angelical_a howsoever_o it_o shine_v and_o glister_v in_o the_o eye_n of_o the_o world_n yet_o in_o true_a judgement_n it_o be_v nothing_o else_o but_o mere_a folly_n 10_o for_o the_o fear_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v the_o begin_n of_o wisdom_n and_o therefore_o where_o there_o be_v not_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n there_o can_v possible_o be_v any_o true_a wisdom_n david_n himself_o can_v sometime_o say_v 110_o i_o understand_v more_o than_o the_o ancient_n because_o i_o keep_v thy_o precept_n wherefore_o if_o a_o man_n will_v be_v true_o wise_a let_v he_o fear_n god_n and_o walk_n in_o his_o precept_n this_o be_v wisdom_n according_a to_o godliness_n which_o will_v make_v a_o man_n wise_a to_o salvation_n and_o as_o this_o be_v the_o wisdom_n of_o every_o private_a man_n so_o herein_o likewise_o consist_v the_o true_a wisdom_n of_o king_n and_o kingdom_n of_o state_n and_o commonwealth_n for_o 6_o as_o moses_n say_v to_o israel_n keep_v the_o statute_n &_o judgement_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o do_v they_o for_o this_o be_v your_o wisdom_n and_o understanding_n in_o the_o sight_n of_o the_o nation_n which_o shall_v hear_v all_o these_o statute_n and_o say_v sure_o this_o great_a nation_n be_v a_o wise_a and_o a_o understand_a people_n even_o so_o i_o say_v to_o you_o let_v all_o your_o wisdom_n be_v according_a to_o godliness_n let_v all_o your_o policy_n be_v join_v with_o piety_n in_o all_o your_o consultation_n ask_v counsel_n of_o the_o lord_n let_v the_o god_n of_o jacob_n be_v present_a &_o chief_a precedent_n in_o all_o your_o parliament_n and_o then_o sure_o he_o will_v bless_v this_o land_n and_o the_o nation_n shall_v see_v it_o and_o say_v sure_o this_o nation_n of_o great_a britain_n be_v a_o wise_a and_o a_o understand_a people_n but_o to_o proceed_v in_o the_o story_n the_o messenger_n be_v go_v urias_n be_v send_v for_o he_o be_v come_v to_o the_o court_n &_o bring_v to_o the_o king_n who_o ask_v 7_o he_o how_o joab_n do_v and_o how_o the_o people_n do_v and_o how_o the_o war_n prosper_v and_o after_o kind_a communication_n he_o give_v he_o a_o courteous_a dismission_n go_v home_o to_o thy_o house_n and_o wash_v thy_o foot_n and_o there_o follow_v after_o he_o a_o favour_n from_o the_o king_n a_o mess_n of_o meat_n no_o doubt_n dainty_a and_o delicate_a that_o he_o and_o his_o wife_n may_v make_v merry_a together_o but_o for_o all_o this_o courtly_a and_o cunning_a invitation_n urias_n go_v not_o home_n to_o his_o wife_n but_o sleep_v at_o the_o gate_n of_o the_o king_n palace_n which_o david_n understand_v send_v for_o he_o again_o and_o thus_o expostulate_v the_o matter_n with_o he_o in_o friendly_a manner_n 10_o d_o come_v thou_o not_o from_o thy_o journey_n why_o then_o do_v thou_o not_o go_v down_o unto_o thy_o house_n thus_o david_n pretend_v great_a love_n and_o friendship_n unto_o urias_n whereas_o in_o truth_n he_o intend_v only_o to_o make_v he_o a_o cloak_n for_o their_o iniquity_n and_o be_v not_o this_o the_o fashion_n of_o the_o world_n at_o this_o day_n many_o will_v pretend_v great_a love_n and_o friendship_n unto_o a_o man_n when_o if_o the_o truth_n be_v know_v it_o be_v only_o to_o serve_v their_o own_o turn_n and_o in_o relation_n to_o their_o own_o private_a end_n and_o purpose_n hitherto_o we_o have_v see_v david_n courteous_a invitation_n and_o friendly_a expostulation_n now_o let_v we_o hearken_v unto_o the_o answer_n of_o urias_n he_o say_v unto_o david_n the_o ark_n and_o judah_n and_o israel_n abideinaent_n 11_o and_o my_o lord_n joab_n and_o his_o servant_n be_v encamp_v in_o the_o open_a field_n shall_v i_o then_o go_v home_o to_o my_o house_n to_o eat_v and_o to_o drink_v and_o to_o lie_v with_o my_o wife_n as_o thou_o live_v and_o as_o thy_o soul_n live_v i_o will_v not_o do_v it_o first_o let_v we_o consider_v what_o be_v mean_v by_o this_o that_o the_o ark_n abide_v in_o tent_n and_o it_o seem_v to_o

how_o pleasant_a be_v the_o joy_n of_o heaven_n and_o what_o a_o madness_n be_v it_o for_o a_o little_a pleasure_n of_o sin_n that_o last_v but_o a_o season_n and_o bring_v nothing_o but_o repentance_n to_o endanger_v the_o loss_n of_o those_o eternal_a joy_n which_o never_o eye_n have_v see_v nor_o ever_o ear_n have_v hear_v nor_o ever_o enter_v into_o the_o heart_n of_o man_n and_o not_o so_o only_o but_o also_o to_o be_v cast_v into_o hellfire_n there_o to_o burn_v everlasting_o with_o the_o devil_n and_o his_o angel_n beside_o all_o this_o what_o a_o blemish_n and_o scandal_n will_v this_o be_v to_o the_o church_n of_o god_n how_o will_v it_o grieve_v the_o godly_a rejoice_v the_o wicked_a and_o cause_v the_o holy_a race_n of_o god_n to_o be_v blaspheme_v o_o but_o the_o matter_n shall_v be_v carry_v in_o secret_a say_v the_o flesh_n alas_o there_o be_v nothing_o so_o secret_a say_v the_o spirit_n which_o shall_v not_o be_v reveal_v if_o not_o in_o this_o world_n yet_o in_o the_o world_n to_o come_v before_o man_n and_o angel_n and_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n he_o that_o form_v the_o eye_n shall_v not_o he_o see_v he_o that_o plant_v the_o ear_n shall_v not_o he_o hear_v his_o eye_n be_v ten_o thousand_o time_n bright_a than_o the_o sun_n all_o thing_n be_v open_a and_o naked_a in_o his_o sight_n he_o be_v about_o thy_o bed_n and_o about_o thy_o path_n &_o spy_v out_o all_o thy_o way_n while_o thus_o the_o flesh_n and_o the_o spirit_n be_v contend_v together_o in_o come_v the_o woman_n and_o david_n behold_v she_o be_v inflame_v with_o her_o beauty_n so_o while_o he_o look_v lust_n kindle_v and_o the_o flesh_n prevail_v against_o the_o spirit_n and_o now_o he_o be_v come_v even_o to_o the_o brink_n of_o the_o pit_n for_o behold_v here_o follow_v the_o six_o step_n that_o be_v temptation_n he_o that_o shall_v have_v be_v the_o protector_n of_o her_o chastity_n be_v not_o ashamed_a to_o tempt_v she_o unto_o folly_n thus_o the_o infection_n spread_v from_o the_o eye_n to_o the_o fancy_n from_o the_o fancy_n to_o the_o heart_n from_o the_o heart_n to_o the_o tongue_n that_o tongue_n which_o before_o be_v his_o glory_n be_v now_o become_v his_o shame_n and_o that_o tongue_n which_o have_v be_v a_o great_a and_o gracious_a instrument_n to_o sound_v out_o the_o praise_n of_o god_n be_v now_o become_v a_o wicked_a instrument_n to_o instill_v the_o poison_n of_o the_o subtle_a serpent_n and_o here_o somewhat_o will_v be_v say_v concern_v the_o woman_n first_o the_o bathe_n of_o herself_o can_v be_v reprooved_a there_o be_v many_o legal_a impurity_n which_o so_o require_v but_o the_o place_n be_v not_o so_o secret_a nor_o the_o manner_n so_o wary_a as_o become_v the_o modesty_n of_o a_o woman_n she_o shall_v have_v consider_v that_o every_o window_n have_v a_o eye_n and_o every_o tower_n and_o turret_n may_v overlook_v she_o second_o that_o be_v send_v for_o she_o come_v to_o her_o sovereign_n be_v not_o to_o be_v reprehend_v she_o have_v no_o reason_n to_o suspect_v or_o imagine_v any_o uncleanness_n from_o such_o a_o man_n but_o when_o she_o see_v his_o speech_n tend_v to_o dishonesty_n than_o she_o shall_v have_v flee_v away_o as_o from_o a_o serpent_n she_o shall_v have_v endure_v a_o thousand_o death_n rather_o than_o have_v suffer_v her_o body_n to_o be_v pollute_v but_o who_o can_v tell_v what_o womanish_a cogitation_n may_v bewitch_v she_o martyr_n peter_n martyr_n be_v of_o opinion_n that_o peradventure_o she_o think_v a_o bill_n of_o divorce_n may_v be_v procure_v from_o her_o husband_n urias_n 1●_n and_o then_o she_o by_o this_o mean_n may_v become_v a_o queen_n so_o dangerous_a a_o thing_n be_v it_o when_o great_a personage_n provoke_v unto_o sin_n their_o word_n be_v bewitch_a their_o persuasion_n be_v potent_a they_o fill_v unsettled_a head_n with_o flatter_a hope_n which_o blind_a the_o understanding_n and_o make_v bold_a to_o offend_v wherefore_o all_o you_o to_o who_o the_o lord_n have_v give_v honour_n and_o riches_n power_n and_o authority_n see_v that_o you_o persuade_v to_o that_o which_o be_v good_a but_o do_v not_o tempt_v to_o that_o which_o be_v evil_a or_o if_o man_n shall_v tempt_v yet_o woman_n shall_v esteem_v their_o chastity_n above_o all_o earthly_a treasure_n 14_o a_o shamefast_a and_o a_o faithful_a woman_n be_v a_o double_a grace_n and_o her_o continent_n mind_n can_v be_v value_v but_o bethsheba_n at_o this_o time_n want_v this_o grace_n so_o david_n tempt_v she_o consent_v and_o then_o follow_v the_o last_o step_n that_o be_v perpetration_n so_o folly_n be_v commit_v in_o israel_n but_o now_o i_o think_v i_o hear_v the_o licentious_a libertine_n rejoice_v and_o say_v if_o david_n a_o man_n of_o such_o sanctity_n commit_v adultery_n why_o may_v not_o i_o what_o do_v i_o hear_v why_o may_v not_o i_o o_o wicked_a and_o profane_a wretch_n if_o a_o man_n of_o sanctity_n commit_v a_o sin_n will_v thou_o neglect_v his_o sanctity_n and_o imitate_v his_o sin_n thou_o shall_v imitate_v his_o sanctity_n and_o bewail_v his_o sin_n but_o what_o a_o thing_n be_v this_o will_v thou_o first_o observe_v in_o god_n saint_n their_o fall_n of_o infirmity_n and_o then_o encourage_v thyself_o to_o sin_n by_o example_n of_o their_o frailty_n and_o last_o shroud_v thy_o sin_n under_o the_o veil_n of_o their_o sanctity_n so_o do_v not_o david_n he_o sin_v indeed_o but_o it_o be_v as_o saint_n 50_o austin_n true_o say_v lapsucupiditatis_fw-la non_fw-la patrocinio_fw-la sanctitatis_fw-la that_o be_v he_o be_v draw_v away_o by_o his_o own_o concupiscence_n and_o entice_v but_o he_o do_v not_o provoke_v himself_o to_o sin_n by_o other_o man_n example_n he_o do_v not_o propose_v to_o imitate_v their_o frailty_n and_o then_o hide_v his_o wickedness_n under_o the_o veil_n of_o their_o holiness_n wherefore_o if_o thou_o commit_v adultery_n by_o the_o example_n of_o david_n thy_o adultery_n be_v far_o worse_a than_o be_v the_o adultery_n of_o david_n he_o sin_v of_o infirmity_n thou_o sin_v upon_o presumption_n he_o be_v surprise_v on_o a_o sudden_a thou_o sin_v upon_o premeditation_n he_o be_v carry_v away_o captive_a by_o a_o violent_a passion_n but_o thou_o pull_v sin_n unto_o thou_o as_o it_o be_v with_o cart-rope_n but_o tell_v i_o do_v david_n escape_v unpunished_a for_o his_o sin_n thou_o know_v he_o do_v not_o but_o as_o he_o defile_v another_o man_n daughter_n so_o his_o own_o 13_o daughter_n be_v defile_v even_o his_o daughter_n thamar_n and_o that_o by_o she_o own_o brother_n ammon_n as_o he_o defile_v another_o man_n wife_n so_o his_o own_o wife_n be_v defile_v and_o that_o by_o his_o own_o son_n 22_o absalon_n upon_o the_o top_n of_o the_o house_n in_o the_o face_n of_o all_o israel_n in_o the_o sight_n of_o the_o sun_n now_o if_o judgement_n begin_v at_o the_o sanctuary_n of_o god_n where_o shall_v the_o wicked_a and_o ungodly_a man_n appear_v if_o the_o lord_n deal_v so_o with_o the_o tree_n of_o paradise_n what_o will_v he_o do_v to_o the_o bramble_n of_o the_o wilderness_n if_o he_o thus_o punish_v david_n do_v thou_o think_v he_o will_v spare_v thou_o if_o he_o deal_v thus_o with_o david_n do_v thou_o think_v he_o will_v dally_v with_o thou_o no_o no_o but_o rather_o if_o he_o correct_v he_o with_o rod_n he_o will_v scourge_v thou_o with_o scorpion_n wherefore_o as_o thou_o cast_v one_o eye_n upon_o the_o sin_n of_o david_n so_o cast_v thy_o other_o eye_n upon_o the_o punishment_n of_o david_n &_o then_o if_o there_o be_v any_o grace_n in_o thou_o thou_o will_v not_o imitate_v his_o sin_n but_o tremble_v at_o his_o punishment_n now_o see_v these_o thing_n be_v write_v for_o our_o learning_n therefore_o let_v there_o be_v no_o adulterer_n no_o
