of_o this_o book_n 1._o why_o the_o first_o book_n of_o samuel_n be_v so_o name_v there_o may_v be_v evident_a reason_n give_v as_o both_o because_o the_o book_n begin_v with_o the_o story_n of_o samuel_n nativity_n as_o the_o hebrew_n use_v to_o name_v the_o book_n of_o scripture_n of_o the_o beginning_n as_o also_o because_o it_o contain_v samuel_n act_n principal_o and_o beside_o samuel_n be_v hold_v to_o have_v be_v the_o writer_n thereof_o till_o that_o place_n where_o mention_n be_v make_v of_o his_o death_n 2._o but_o of_o this_o second_o book_n there_o be_v great_a question_n why_o it_o shall_v bear_v the_o name_n of_o samuel_n for_o neither_o be_v samuel_n act_v therein_o describe_v neither_o be_v he_o the_o penman_n thereof_o but_o it_o be_v write_v by_o some_o of_o

4._o but_o whereas_o hierome_n think_v in_o his_o hebrew_n tradition_n that_o this_o book_n of_o samuel_n be_v like_a to_o be_v that_o which_o be_v call_v the_o book_n of_o the_o righteous_a it_o

this_o book_n 1._o as_o the_o former_a book_n contain_v the_o history_n of_o such_o thing_n as_o be_v do_v under_o samuel_n and_o saul_n so_o this_o set_v forth_o the_o act_n of_o david_n and_o

between_o the_o reign_n of_o saul_n and_o of_o david_n for_o saul_n kingdom_n begin_v with_o great_a glory_n and_o renown_n but_o end_v with_o shame_n but_o contrariwise_o david_n kingdom_n have_v but_o small_a beginning_n yet_o increase_v more_o and_o more_o borr._n 3_o in_o which_o respect_n david_n be_v a_o lively_a type_n of_o christ_n who_o find_v many_o enemy_n in_o the_o world_n which_o

especial_o the_o book_n of_o the_o psalm_n show_v the_o occasion_n whereupon_o many_o of_o those_o psalm_n be_v indict_v which_o make_v much_o to_o the_o true_a understanding_n of_o they_o 4._o further_o whereas_o these_o book_n be_v allege_v in_o the_o gospel_n the_o knowledge_n hereof_o be_v profitable_a to_o understand_v the_o precept_n and_o sermon_n of_o our_o bless_a saviour_n 5._o and_o last_o the_o wisdom_n of_o god_n do_v wonderful_o appear_v herein_o in_o temper_v the_o scripture_n to_o every_o one_o capacity_n for_o they_o which_o be_v severe_a and_o austere_a and_o be_v

speech_n such_o the_o psalm_n and_o canticle_n special_o be_v for_o other_o do_v more_o respect_v grave_a and_o wise_a sentence_n such_o as_o the_o proverb_n of_o solomon_n and_o the_o book_n

he_o have_v do_v indeed_o faithful_a service_n to_o abshalom_n if_o he_o will_v have_v be_v rule_v by_o he_o and_o surcease_v to_o pursue_v his_o father_n and_o his_o counsel_n be_v also_o in_o

humano_fw-la impulsu_fw-la by_o a_o man_n mere_a devise_n he_o can_v altogether_o be_v excuse_v but_o if_o it_o be_v by_o god_n direction_n they_o offend_v not_o as_o it_o may_v be_v gather_v by_o this_o both_o because_o present_o after_o david_n prayer_n that_o god_n will_v turn_v achitophel_n counsel_n into_o foolishness_n chushai_n be_v offer_v unto_o he_o as_o the_o man_n by_o who_o his_o

the_o former_a solution_n may_v be_v maintain_v that_o chushai_n do_v not_o tell_v a_o lie_n nor_o be_v guilty_a of_o untruth_n in_o his_o speech_n but_o only_o use_v a_o doubtful_a and_o ambiguous_a
