understand_v during_o all_o saul_n life_n all_o his_o day_n as_o hannah_n say_v that_o samuel_n shall_v abide_v before_o the_o lord_n for_o ever_o c._n 1.22_o jun._n but_o this_o be_v not_o the_o meaning_n for_o both_o saul_n continue_v king_n all_o his_o day_n though_o with_o much_o trouble_n and_o vexation_n and_o david_n though_o anoint_a yet_o confess_v saul_n while_o he_o live_v to_o be_v the_o lord_n anoint_v as_o also_o even_o in_o this_o sense_n if_o it_o be_v refer_v to_o the_o external_a purpose_n of_o god_n there_o shall_v follow_v a_o alteration_n in_o god_n in_o make_v david_n king_n soon_o than_o he_o have_v purpose_v 3._o therefore_o the_o best_a exposition_n be_v that_o god_n speak_v here_o to_o the_o capacity_n and_o according_a to_o the_o sight_n and_o judgement_n of_o man_n that_o saul_n kingdom_n have_v be_v likely_a to_o continue_v if_o he_o have_v not_o disobey_v god_n that_o then_o be_v here_o propound_v as_o a_o effect_n of_o saul_n disobedience_n the_o loss_n of_o the_o kingdom_n which_o indeed_o be_v according_a to_o the_o everlasting_a decree_n of_o god_n so_o as_o pelican_n well_o say_v loquor_fw-la humano_fw-la more_fw-it &_o ut_fw-la videri_fw-la

speech_n we_o have_v before_o c._n 2.30_o i_o have_v say_v that_o thy_o house_n and_o the_o house_n of_o thy_o father_n shall_v walk_v before_o i_o for_o ever_o but_o now_o the_o lord_n say_v it_o shall_v not_o be_v so_o as_o there_o though_o god_n have_v foresee_v and_o decree_v the_o reject_v of_o eli_n his_o house_n from_o the_o priesthood_n who_o be_v of_o ithamar_n and_o the_o restitution_n of_o eleazar_n posterity_n in_o zadock_n yet_o the_o lord_n so_o propound_v it_o as_o though_o this_o alteration_n have_v be_v procure_v by_o the_o sin_n of_o eli_n his_o house_n the_o very_a like_a be_v here_o to_o be_v say_v of_o the_o innovation_n and_o change_n of_o the_o kingdom_n god_n purpose_n than_o be_v to_o be_v consider_v as_o decree_v in_o his_o counsel_n which_o be_v always_o certain_a and_o unchangeable_a and_o as_o it_o be_v propound_v to_o we_o absolute_a and_o definite_a in_o itself_o but_o yet_o offer_v unto_o we_o with_o condition_n to_o god_n there_o be_v nothing_o contingent_a or_o happen_v by_o chance_n to_o man_n who_o will_n be_v not_o compel_v but_o work_v free_o many_o thing_n seem_v to_o be_v contingent_a which_o god_n notwithstanding_o do_v foresee_v shall_v so_o fall_v out_o and_o they_o can_v not_o otherwise_o 4._o further_o it_o be_v to_o be_v consider_v that_o there_o be_v two_o cause_n of_o the_o cast_n off_o and_o reject_v of_o saul_n the_o one_o the_o immediate_a and_o the_o next_o cause_n which_o be_v the_o sin_n and_o disobedience_n of_o saul_n the_o other_o the_o first_o cause_n and_o further_a off_o the_o will_n and_o decree_n of_o god_n this_o will_n and_o foreknowledge_n of_o god_n do_v impose_v no_o necessity_n upon_o saul_n neither_o be_v he_o force_v but_o sin_v voluntary_o for_o god_n prescience_n lay_v no_o necessity_n simple_o upon_o man_n action_n but_o by_o consequent_a because_o whatsoever_o god_n forsee_v shall_v come_v to_o pass_v his_o prescience_n can_v not_o be_v deceive_v and_o frustrate_a now_o then_o see_v the_o sin_n of_o saul_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o his_o rejection_n which_o he_o be_v not_o force_v by_o any_o necessity_n to_o commit_v and_o if_o he_o have_v not_o sin_v his_o kingdom_n may_v have_v continue_v therefore_o this_o be_v not_o speak_v in_o respect_n of_o god_n immutable_a decree_n but_o in_o regard_n of_o the_o outward_a possibility_n and_o likelihood_n which_o saul_n have_v to_o hold_v the_o kingdom_n so_o it_o be_v say_v apoc._n 2.15_o hold_v that_o thou_o have_v lest_o a_o other_o take_v thy_o crown_n where_o we_o be_v not_o to_o understand_v the_o

good_a beginning_n they_o may_v seem_v to_o be_v appoint_v unto_o the_o like_a occasion_n there_o be_v of_o saul_n kingdom_n here_o mart._n 11._o quest._n v_o 14._o how_o david_n be_v say_v to_o be_v

the_o thing_n which_o david_n have_v do_v displease_v the_o lord_n c._n 11.27_o this_o therefore_o be_v to_o be_v understand_v first_o comparative_o in_o respect_n of_o saul_n reconcil_n as_o samuel_n say_v c._n 15.28_o the_o lord_n have_v give_v it_o to_o thy_o neighbour_n that_o be_v better_a than_o thou_o as_o also_o because_o saul_n be_v a_o hypocrite_n he_o have_v not_o a_o sound_n and_o faithful_a heart_n unto_o god_n but_o all_o his_o obedience_n be_v in_o outward_a pretence_n and_o show_n but_o david_n heart_n and_o desire_n be_v set_v to_o please_v god_n howsoever_o he_o fail_v in_o some_o outward_a act_n therefore_o this_o say_n must_v be_v expound_v according_a to_o that_o rule_n of_o the_o apostle_n if_o first_o there_o be_v a_o willing_a mind_n it_o be_v accept_v according_a to_o that_o a_o man_n have_v and_o not_o according_a to_o that_o he_o have_v not_o david_n then_o have_v a_o willing_a and_o desirous_a heart_n to_o please_v god_n as_o he_o say_v my_o

this_o brunt_n but_o do_v the_o duty_n of_o a_o king_n in_o defend_v his_o people_n pelican_n 3._o wherefore_o the_o better_a read_n be_v that_o samuel_n go_v from_o gilgal_n not_o in_o gibeah_n but_o
