here_o exhibit_v to_o we_o in_o the_o example_n of_o the_o prophet_n david_n the_o explication_n of_o this_o text_n in_o hand_n do_v very_o much_o depend_v upon_o the_o true_a and_o right_a notion_n

chief_o fasten_v upon_o the_o former_a as_o that_o which_o be_v most_o genuine_a and_o proper_a and_o with_o that_o will_v i_o now_o begin_v by_o take_v it_o in_o the_o natural_a signification_n when_o i_o awake_v say_v david_n that_o be_v when_o i_o cease_v from_o sleep_n and_o bodily_a rest_n i_o be_o still_o with_o thou_o now_o there_o be_v two_o thing_n which_o this_o holy_a man_n do_v

for_o the_o time_n design_v when_o i_o awake_v this_o may_v be_v take_v two_o manner_n of_o way_n hypothetical_o or_o emphatical_o first_o it_o may_v be_v take_v hypothetical_o or_o indifferent_o when_o i_o awake_v that_o be_v when_o i_o be_o not_o asleep_a and_o so_o hinder_v by_o the_o necessity_n of_o nature_n as_o if_o he_o have_v say_v thus_o there_o be_v no_o time_n that_o i_o do_v not_o enjoy_v thou_o but_o when_o i_o do_v not_o enjoy_v myself_o and_o so_o it_o sound_v as_o much_o as_o this_o that_o a_o good_a christian_n be_v continual_o with_o god_n upon_o all_o occasion_n a_o godly_a man_n be_v careful_a to_o be_v with_o god_n in_o every_o performance_n and_o in_o every_o condition_n quando_fw-la be_v as_o much_o as_o quandocunque_fw-la when_o that_o be_v whensoever_o a_o

yea_o in_o his_o seasonable_a refreshment_n and_o recreation_n when_o he_o awake_v he_o be_v still_o with_o god_n and_o this_o again_o according_a to_o a_o twofold_a explication_n first_o
