so_o war_n depopulate_v and_o destroy_v all_o we_o need_v not_o seek_v far_o for_o witness_n witness_v in_o our_o scottish_a and_o english_a border_n the_o wood_n and_o forest_n waste_v the_o field_n yet_o untilled_a the_o town_n yet_o unbuilt_a and_o for_o town_n and_o house_n mere_a kennel_n for_o dog_n shroud_n fit_a for_o beast_n but_o far_o unfit_a for_o man_n and_o yet_o we_o see_v in_o our_o travel_n no_o great_a superfluity_n of_o beast_n neither_o only_o they_o be_v beast_n which_o make_v this_o desolation_n and_o whosoever_o be_v captain_n and_o soldier_n the_o devil_n on_o both_o side_n be_v leader_n of_o the_o field_n nay_o let_v it_o be_v but_o a_o suit_n in_o law_n and_o it_o be_v wonderful_a to_o see_v how_o a_o man_n waste_v by_o it_o one_o lawyer_n must_v be_v feed_v ne_o noceat_fw-la that_o he_o do_v no_o hurt_n and_o another_o take_v a_o fee_n and_o do_v in_o truth_n a_o very_a little_a good_a and_o money_n run_v while_n all_o be_v run_v out_o and_o the_o fee_n of_o the_o suit_n exceed_v many_o time_n the_o benefit_n of_o the_o sentence_n and_o many_o a_o man_n become_v poor_a at_o the_o victory_n who_o have_v be_v rich_a if_o he_o have_v forbear_v the_o combat_n but_o in_o peace_n man_n plant_v and_o build_v and_o sow_v and_o reap_v and_o grow_v exceed_o rich_a and_o as_o in_o the_o peaceable_a day_n of_o solomon_n every_o man_n sit_v under_o his_o vine_n and_o his_o figtree_n and_o there_o be_v none_o to_o make_v afraid_a five_o and_o last_o peace_n be_v pleasant_a to_o the_o taste_n too_o i_o speak_v it_o in_o the_o sense_n of_o david_n psal_n 34._o o_o taste_n and_o see_v how_o gracious_a the_o lord_n be_v the_o taste_n and_o relish_v of_o a_o good_a conscience_n for_o he_o that_o be_v not_o in_o peace_n have_v his_o conscience_n full_a of_o horror_n if_o he_o but_o see_v another_o prosper_v he_o be_v afflict_v at_o it_o but_o if_o he_o see_v it_o continue_v he_o plot_v and_o practise_v how_o to_o impeach_v it_o yea_o saul_n be_v more_o trouble_v at_o david_n rise_n then_o at_o all_o which_o the_o philistines_n do_v against_o he_o yea_o haman_n be_v not_o ashamed_a to_o confess_v that_o his_o riches_n &_o his_o child_n and_o his_o honour_n and_o all_o the_o grace_n the_o king_n have_v do_v he_o yet_o do_v nothing_o avail_v he_o so_o long_o as_o mardochai_n be_v in_o his_o eye_n ester_n 5._o oh_o how_o ill_a taste_v be_v that_o which_o take_v away_o the_o taste_n of_o all_o other_o pleasure_n from_o we_o but_o the_o peaceable_a mind_a man_n be_v free_a from_o all_o this_o he_o taste_v pleasure_n in_o his_o prayer_n he_o taste_v pleasure_n in_o his_o sleep_n yea_o he_o lie_v he_o down_o &_o sleep_v in_o peace_n psal_n 4._o he_o envy_v no_o man_n but_o say_v with_o david_n we_o have_v wish_v you_o good_a luck_n even_o to_o the_o ten_o tribe_n that_o be_v against_o he_o psal_n 122._o he_o ask_v not_o the_o death_n of_o his_o enemy_n much_o less_o contrive_v it_o but_o though_o he_o have_v saul_n in_o the_o cane_n yet_o he_o lose_v his_o advantage_n and_o let_v he_o go_v and_o he_o that_o can_v do_v thus_o when_o he_o die_v shall_v find_v it_o true_a which_o abigail_n say_v to_o david_n it_o shall_v be_v no_o grief_n of_o mind_n to_o thou_o that_o thou_o have_v not_o avenge_v thyself_o the_o four_o point_n general_n be_v that_o peace_n be_v not_o only_o commend_v good_a but_o admire_v behold_v how_o good_a and_o how_o pleasant_a for_o as_o diâ—nysius_n say_v of_o god_n appear_v in_o a_o vision_n he_o that_o think_v he_o have_v see_v god_n non_fw-la vidit_fw-la deum_fw-la sed_fw-la aliquid_fw-la dei_fw-la he_o do_v not_o see_v god_n but_o some_o glimmer_n of_o he_o so_o that_o peace_n who_o goodness_n a_o man_n may_v limit_v and_o determine_v it_o be_v not_o the_o true_a peace_n but_o some_o shadow_n of_o it_o for_o that_o peace_n pass_v all_o understanding_n and_o indeed_o to_o be_v good_a be_v the_o mean_a commendation_n that_o can_v be_v give_v to_o any_o thing_n for_o god_n make_v nothing_o but_o what_o be_v good_a and_o that_o which_o be_v not_o good_a be_v of_o the_o devil_n but_o the_o point_n be_v here_o how_o good_a and_o how_o pleasant_a which_o be_v speak_v by_o way_n of_o admiration_n &_o may_v admit_v a_o fourfold_a interpretation_n &_o first_o with_o a_o reference_n to_o the_o story_n for_o when_o we_o see_v a_o thing_n come_v to_o pass_v which_o pass_v common_a power_n yea_o and_o our_o expectation_n too_o we_o fall_v a_o wonder_v straight_o even_o so_o do_v david_n here_o that_o reuben_n and_o simeon_n and_o gad_n and_o asher_n and_o zebulon_n and_o nepthali_n and_o all_o the_o tribe_n shall_v come_v in_o to_o judah_n and_o ten_o submit_v themselves_o to_o one_o or_o two_o this_o be_v good_a indeed_o but_o how_o good_a a_o domino_fw-la factum_fw-la est_fw-la istud_fw-la this_o be_v no_o wit_n nor_o policy_n nor_o power_n of_o man_n but_o a_o work_n wrought_v by_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n and_o to_o draw_v this_o to_o ourselves_o and_o our_o own_o use_n when_o god_n at_o any_o time_n have_v compose_v any_o trouble_n in_o the_o state_n any_o faction_n or_o persecution_n in_o the_o church_n or_o have_v make_v any_o peace_n which_o we_o expect_v not_o how_o can_v we_o do_v less_o then_o lift_v up_o heart_n and_o hand_n and_o eye_n to_o god_n and_o wonder_v at_o it_o or_o second_o this_o strange_a demonstration_n behold_v how_o good_a be_v but_o a_o excessive_a kind_n of_o praise_n and_o the_o high_a stile_n of_o praise_n be_v to_o profess_v our_o unability_n of_o express_v even_o as_o the_o psalmist_n use_v to_o speak_v of_o god_n o_o how_o excellent_a be_v thy_o name_n and_o how_o great_a be_v thy_o goodness_n he_o can_v not_o comprehend_v the_o one_o nor_o be_v he_o able_a to_o express_v the_o other_o so_o since_o we_o can_v sufficient_o set_v out_o the_o praise_n of_o peace_n we_o will_v only_o ask_v how_o good_a it_o be_v and_o praise_v it_o by_o say_v nothing_o of_o it_o or_o three_o this_o admiration_n come_v in_o by_o way_n of_o obiurgation_n as_o if_o he_o say_v oh_o you_o that_o know_v not_o how_o good_a peace_n be_v behold_v and_o consider_v how_o good_a it_o be_v for_o we_o common_o wonder_v at_o those_o thing_n which_o be_v unwonted_a to_o we_o and_o since_o we_o be_v such_o stranger_n to_o peace_n it_o be_v speak_v with_o a_o kind_n of_o check_n that_o we_o shall_v learn_v to_o know_v that_o with_o admiration_n whereof_o we_o can_v be_v ignorant_a but_o to_o our_o great_a shame_n or_o else_o four_o and_o last_o this_o admiration_n be_v mystical_a for_o as_o david_n be_v a_o figure_n of_o christ_n so_o david_n peace_n be_v a_o figure_n of_o the_o peace_n in_o heaven_n even_o of_o that_o peace_n which_o eye_n have_v not_o see_v ear_n have_v not_o hear_v and_o which_o have_v not_o enter_v into_o the_o heart_n of_o man_n but_o as_o austin_n say_v of_o it_o facilius_fw-la est_fw-la consequi_fw-la quam_fw-la ennarrare_fw-la it_o shall_v be_v easy_a to_o attain_v it_o then_o to_o define_v it_o &_o therefore_o since_o we_o can_v only_o ask_v question_n of_o it_o how_o good_a and_o how_o pleasant_a but_o can_v answer_v when_o we_o have_v ask_v our_o way_n be_v only_o to_o believe_v it_o and_o so_o to_o live_v as_o they_o that_o expect_v and_o look_v for_o it_o and_o so_o we_o come_v to_o the_o last_o point_n behold_v which_o though_o in_o rank_n &_o order_n of_o word_n it_o stand_v first_o yet_o arise_v out_o of_o the_o text_n as_o a_o use_n out_o of_o the_o doctrine_n it_o come_v in_o good_a method_n to_o be_v handle_v last_o for_o peace_n be_v so_o good_a &_o so_o pleasant_a how_o can_v we_o do_v less_o than_o look_v upon_o it_o behold_v how_o good_a etc._n etc._n behold_v how_o why_o behold_v in_o contemplation_n of_o mind_n or_o behold_v in_o experience_n behold_v in_o understanding_n or_o behold_v in_o sense_n behold_v it_o that_o be_v search_n or_o seek_v to_o know_v it_o or_o else_o behold_v it_o that_o be_v only_o look_v out_o and_o see_v it_o behold_v it_o with_o the_o mind_n first_o for_o it_o be_v true_a in_o every_o thing_n quantum_fw-la intelligitur_fw-la tantum_fw-la diligitur_fw-la we_o love_v thing_n so_o far_o as_o we_o know_v they_o but_o no_o man_n can_v extend_v his_o love_n beyond_o his_o knowledge_n the_o son_n of_o god_n see_v the_o daughter_n of_o man_n and_o then_o become_v enamour_v of_o they_o but_o if_o they_o have_v not_o see_v they_o they_o have_v never_o love_v they_o and_o david_n where_o he_o profess_v to_o love_v the_o law_n show_v the_o reason_n of_o it_o for_o it_o be_v his_o continual_a meditation_n psal_n 119._o that_o be_v he_o do_v nothing_o but_o study_v it_o and_o it_o
