occasion_n compose_v it_o say_v not_o it_o be_v not_o improbable_o guess_v that_o the_o occasion_n of_o the_o pen_v be_v the_o union_n of_o all_o the_o tribe_n in_o david_n their_o king_n of_o which_o you_o read_v 2_o sam._n 5._o 3._o after_o 3._o 2_o sam._n 5._o 3._o the_o death_n of_o saul_n david_n reign_v some_o year_n over_o judah_n alone_o but_o you_o read_v there_o that_o after_o he_o have_v reign_v seven_o year_n and_o three_o month_n in_o hebron_n over_o judah_n alone_o all_o the_o elder_n of_o israel_n come_v to_o he_o in_o hebron_n and_o make_v a_o league_n with_o he_o and_o anoint_v he_o king_n over_o israel_n and_o thus_o now_o the_o twelve_o tribe_n be_v become_v gens_n una_fw-la one_o nation_n david_n may_v very_o probable_o upon_o this_o occasion_n pen_n this_o psalm_n commend_v to_o they_o the_o keep_n of_o this_o knot_n which_o god_n providence_n have_v make_v thus_o it_o excellent_o suit_v our_o present_a occasion_n we_o be_v at_o this_o day_n in_o such_o a_o

commend_v to_o you_o the_o union_n of_o brethren_n the_o word_n i_o have_v read_v to_o you_o be_v the_o proposition_n of_o the_o whole_a psalm_n the_o proof_n of_o it_o lie_v in_o the_o last_o word_n the_o other_o verse_n be_v make_v up_o of_o two_o similitude_n illustrate_v the_o general_a proposition_n the_o proposition_n of_o the_o psalm_n be_v that_o which_o my_o design_n be_v to_o make_v

shall_v no_o further_o concern_v myself_o in_o than_o they_o will_v natural_o fall_v under_o the_o proof_n of_o the_o proposition_n prop._n it_o be_v a_o very_a good_a and_o pleasant_a thing_n for_o

in_o a_o more_o restrain_a notion_n thus_o all_o of_o the_o same_o family_n be_v brethren_n or_o in_o the_o same_o more_o immediate_a parent_n thus_o esau_n be_v call_v jacob_n brother_n or_o in_o

it_o thus_o we_o be_v call_v to_o love_v the_o brethren_n as_o to_o the_o particular_a sense_n of_o it_o in_o this_o text_n it_o doubtless_o signify_v those_o that_o be_v member_n of_o the_o same_o

nor_o do_v this_o always_o appear_v productive_a of_o any_o happiness_n or_o pleasantness_n and_o if_o it_o do_v it_o will_v speak_v the_o psalmist_n only_o here_o commend_v the_o happiness_n of_o those_o who_o live_v in_o town_n and_o city_n contiguous_a one_o to_o another_o above_o they_o who_o live_v in_o the_o country_n or_o place_n where_o man_n habitation_n be_v at_o great_a distance_n which_o be_v too_o mean_v a_o notion_n to_o suit_n david_n design_n in_o this_o text._n we_o must_v therefore_o find_v out_o some_o other_o unity_n here_o intend_v unity_n refer_v certain_o to_o the_o mind_n and_o so_o there_o be_v a_o double_a unity_n the_o one_o refer_v to_o the_o understanding_n the_o other_o to_o the_o will_n and_o affection_n unity_n so_o far_o as_o respect_v the_o

or_o badness_n of_o a_o notion_n as_o he_o apprehend_v it_o now_o this_o be_v a_o unity_n which_o be_v not_o to_o be_v expect_v we_o may_v as_o soon_o look_v to_o see_v a_o oneness_n in_o the_o

soul_n in_o the_o same_o mould_n or_o to_o work_v some_o such_o miraculous_a change_n upon_o all_o for_o neither_o of_o which_o i_o know_v of_o any_o warrant_n beside_o suppose_v that_o the_o will_n must_v follow_v the_o dictate_v of_o the_o understanding_n it_o will_v with_o a_o witness_n too_o destroy_v all_o liberty_n of_o the_o will_n which_o some_o so_o contend_v for_o nor_o do_v i_o know_v whether_o this_o will_v produce_v any_o such_o happiness_n indeed_o there_o be_v a_o unity_n of_o faith_n that_o be_v desirable_a but_o that_o be_v secure_v by_o man_n right_o apprehend_v and_o

be_v at_o all_o concern_v in_o my_o text._n it_o must_v therefore_o be_v the_o unity_n of_o the_o will_n and_o affection_n and_o this_o either_o respect_n 1._o design_n and_o counsel_n or_o 2._o office_n of_o love_n and_o charity_n 1._o though_o man_n as_o to_o particular_a notion_n may_v have_v different_a apprehension_n and_o judgement_n yet_o they_o may_v have_v a_o oneness_n of_o will_n

involve_v now_o there_o be_v two_o thing_n which_o give_v a_o liberty_n for_o this_o under_z different_z apprehension_n 1._o that_o a_o man_n may_v practise_v according_a to_o or_o contrary_a to_o many_o particular_a notion_n and_o yet_o glorify_v god_n if_o he_o live_v up_o to_o the_o dictate_v of_o his_o own_o conscience_n this_o the_o apostle_n abundant_o determine_v rom._n 14._o in_o the_o case_n of_o the_o jewish_a holy_a day_n and_o meat_n v._o 6._o he_o that_o regard_v a_o day_n regard_v it_o to_o the_o lord_n that_o be_v to_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n and_o be_v that_o regard_v it_o not_o to_o the_o lord_n he_o do_v not_o regard_v it_o he_o that_o eat_v eat_v to_o the_o lord_n and_o give_v god_n thanks_o and_o he_o that_o eat_v not_o to_o the_o lord_n he_o eat_v not_o and_o

who_o think_v a_o superiour_n command_n after_n the_o case_n shall_v do_v well_o to_o consider_v whether_o saint_n paul_n may_v at_o that_o time_n have_v by_o his_o command_n make_v it_o necessary_a for_o any_o jew_n turn_v to_o the_o christian_a faith_n to_o have_v keep_v the_o jewish_a day_n or_o to_o have_v for_o bear_v the_o meat_n there_o speak_v of_o what_o shall_v he_o say_v say_v
