pestilence_n and_o famine_n both_o spiritual_a and_o temporal_a let_v we_o take_v heed_n of_o it_o and_o since_o bloodshed_n be_v the_o principal_a crime_n for_o which_o the_o judgement_n already_o

in_o our_o power_n to_o make_v satisfaction_n for_o the_o least_o transgression_n let_v we_o all_o be_v so_o cautious_a to_o search_v into_o the_o whole_a matter_n and_o to_o find_v out_o every_o circumstance_n of_o our_o duty_n that_o we_o add_v not_o sin_n to_o sin_n blood_n to_o blood_n and_o suppose_v we_o do_v well_o when_o we_o have_v do_v more_o wicked_o by_o a_o hypocritical_a misapplication_n or_o a_o ignorant_a search_n or_o lest_o in_o place_n of_o true_a christian_a oblation_n we_o offer_v up_o the_o abomination_n of_o the_o heathen_a who_o sacrifice_v the_o innocent_a child_n of_o their_o enemy_n to_o appease_v the_o ghost_n of_o their_o slaughter_a prince_n or_o do_v like_o they_o who_o offer_v the_o fruit_n of_o their_o body_n to_o molech_n for_o the_o sin_n of_o

than_o the_o blood_n of_o the_o great_a king_n who_o have_v not_o aswell_o a_o saintship_n as_o kingship_n for_o the_o expiation_n therefore_o of_o our_o bloodguiltiness_n so_o far_o forth_o as_o it_o will_v be_v requirable_a to_o testify_v the_o sincerity_n of_o our_o contrition_n and_o repentance_n plenary_a satisfaction_n as_o i_o say_v before_o not_o be_v in_o our_o power_n we_o must_v effectual_o and_o speedy_o prosecute_v the_o mean_n which_o be_v but_o two_o in_o chief_a the_o one_o be_v the_o wash_n away_o of_o wilful_a bloodshed_n with_o the_o blood_n of_o malicious_a

person_n who_o be_v to_o be_v the_o object_n of_o this_o justice_n and_o mercy_n we_o must_v be_v very_o wary_a lest_o we_o incur_v the_o curse_n pronounce_v against_o they_o who_o justify_v the_o

of_o saul_n faction_n who_o be_v the_o murderer_n for_o who_o bloodshed_n that_o plague_n be_v inflict_v they_o probable_o will_v have_v answer_v that_o it_o be_v for_o the_o bloodiness_n of_o david_n

consent_n of_o all_o the_o people_n and_o that_o his_o bloodguiltiness_n be_v manifest_a by_o a_o long_a rebellious_a warfare_n against_o the_o house_n of_o saul_n his_o lawful_a sovereign_n if_o the_o same_o question_n shall_v have_v be_v then_o ask_v of_o david_n party_n it_o be_v likely_a they_o will_v have_v say_v that_o saul_n and_o his_o partaker_n be_v the_o murderer_n by_o shed_v blood_n in_o oppose_v he_o to_o who_o god_n have_v translate_v the_o kingdom_n from_o saul_n for_o his_o disobedience_n and_o confer_v it_o on_o david_n by_o the_o same_o anoint_v by_o the_o same_o prophet_n who_o inaugurate_v saul_n and_o in_o regard_n the_o kingdom_n be_v also_o confirm_v upon_o david_n by_o consent_n of_o the_o same_o people_n if_o the_o priest_n in_o these_o day_n have_v be_v consult_v with_o all_o they_o perhaps_o will_v have_v think_v and_o say_v that_o it_o have_v be_v for_o the_o blood_n of_o those_o priest_n of_o the_o lord_n which_o be_v barbarous_o butcher_v

esteem_v sacred_a no_o not_o for_o the_o blood_n of_o a_o king_n but_o for_o blood_n shed_v by_o a_o king_n and_o for_o no_o such_o precious_a blood_n as_o the_o blood_n of_o israelite_n or_o friend_n or_o free_a subject_n but_o for_o the_o blood_n of_o slave_n of_o who_o little_a account_n be_v make_v and_o for_o breach_n of_o a_o oath_n and_o a_o covenant_n to_o and_o with_o despise_a person_n

with_o a_o oath_n and_o covenant_n make_v ignorant_o contrary_a to_o his_o own_o express_a command_n then_o with_o violation_n thereof_o in_o such_o a_o case_n when_o it_o be_v once_o make_v and_o that_o neither_o length_n of_o time_n or_o pious_a or_o politic_a pretence_n can_v incline_v he_o to_o leave_v it_o unpunished_a this_o hint_n unto_o we_o that_o which_o will_v be_v very_o
