the_o lord_n god_n you_o see_v to_o who_o this_o petition_n be_v direct_v he_o it_o be_v to_o who_o this_o thou_o have_v reference_n god_n then_o be_v the_o object_n against_o who_o he_o sin_v and_o this_o be_v that_o wherein_o he_o do_v most_o of_o all_o set_v out_o his_o own_o ungratefulness_n for_o if_o they_o that_o partake_v of_o the_o favour_n of_o prince_n can_v dispense_v with_o their_o service_n if_o child_n owe_v great_a respect_n to_o their_o parent_n scholar_n to_o their_o master_n then_o how_o can_v david_n neglect_v this_o service_n withdraw_v this_o respect_n and_o sin_n against_o god_n without_o commit_v in_o one_o act_n all_o the_o ingratitude_n that_o can_v be_v commit_v this_o be_v that_o which_o do_v most_o of_o all_o increase_n his_o guilt_n and_o which_o without_o question_n do_v most_o of_o all_o increase_n his_o sorrow_n who_o like_o a_o zealous_a penitent_a inflame_v with_o divine_a love_n and_o hate_v sin_n in_o many_o respect_n be_v yet_o most_o of_o all_o enrage_a against_o it_o because_o it_o be_v commit_v against_o god_n who_o have_v oblige_v he_o to_o himself_o by_o many_o special_a and_o extraordinary_a favour_n for_o it_o be_v he_o that_o like_o a_o father_n bring_v he_o up_o of_o a_o little_a child_n and_o which_o have_v many_o time_n as_o it_o be_v carry_v he_o in_o his_o arm_n it_o be_v he_o that_o pull_v the_o crown_n from_o off_o the_o head_n of_o saul_n to_o set_v it_o upon_o he_o and_o entail_v it_o upon_o he_o and_o his_o posterity_n for_o many_o generation_n it_o be_v he_o that_o like_o a_o master_n instruct_v he_o in_o the_o law_n and_o like_o a_o king_n protect_v he_o in_o all_o danger_n and_o therefore_o to_o sin_n against_o he_o be_v to_o stain_v his_o soul_n with_o the_o deep_a colour_n of_o ingratitude_n but_o why_o do_v david_n confess_v only_o that_o he_o sin_v against_o god_n do_v he_o not_o sin_v also_o against_o uriah_n who_o by_o his_o secret_a practice_n lose_v his_o life_n do_v he_o not_o sin_v also_o against_o bathsheba_n who_o by_o his_o subtle_a persuasion_n lose_v her_o honour_n do_v he_o not_o sin_v also_o against_o joab_n who_o he_o have_v make_v confederate_a to_o his_o purpose_n and_o do_v he_o not_o sin_n also_o against_o the_o whole_a army_n who_o life_n be_v all_o expose_v to_o the_o sword_n of_o the_o child_n of_o ammon_n i_o answer_v that_o he_o sin_v against_o god_n both_o in_o respect_n of_o himself_o and_o in_o respect_n of_o all_o these_o for_o sin_n be_v against_o god_n in_o a_o double_a respect_n respectu_fw-la svi_fw-la ipsius_fw-la &_o respectu_fw-la communitatis_fw-la as_o the_o school_n speak_v both_o in_o respect_n of_o himself_o and_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o community_n that_o be_v in_o respect_n of_o all_o the_o creature_n first_o sin_n be_v against_o god_n respectu_fw-la svi_fw-la ipsius_fw-la in_o respect_n of_o himself_o for_o it_o be_v against_o his_o chief_a attribute_n against_o his_o wisdom_n and_o against_o his_o justice_n and_o against_o his_o mercy_n first_o it_o be_v against_o his_o wisdom_n for_o wisdom_n enjoin_v order_n but_o sin_n be_v always_o accompany_v with_o disorder_n and_o confusion_n second_o it_o be_v against_o his_o justice_n for_o justice_n command_v that_o every_o one_o shall_v have_v his_o due_n but_o sin_n be_v also_o join_v with_o wrong_n and_o injury_n three_o it_o be_v against_o his_o mercy_n for_o mercy_n desire_v the_o preservation_n of_o the_o world_n but_o sin_n tend_v to_o the_o ruin_n and_o destruction_n of_o it_o to_o dishonour_v our_o parent_n to_o commit_v murder_n or_o adultery_n or_o to_o bear_v false_a witness_n against_o our_o neighbour_n what_o do_v all_o these_o sin_n but_o tend_v to_o the_o subversion_n of_o mankind_n man_n subsist_v by_o observation_n of_o the_o moral_a law_n and_o will_v soon_o perish_v without_o it_o and_o therefore_o sin_n which_o tend_v to_o the_o ruin_n of_o mankind_n be_v as_o much_o against_o god_n mercy_n which_o will_v their_o preservation_n as_o against_o any_o other_o of_o his_o attribute_n so_o that_o the_o malice_n of_o a_o sinner_n be_v terminate_v immediate_o upon_o god_n himself_o he_o be_v the_o object_n against_o who_o sin_n be_v commit_v respectu_fw-la svi_fw-la ipsius_fw-la in_o respect_n of_o himself_o but_o that_o i_o may_v make_v this_o reason_n a_o little_a more_o clear_a than_o the_o school_n have_v make_v it_o i_o will_v lay_v down_o this_o ground_n that_o every_o sinner_n wish_v that_o it_o may_v be_v lawful_a for_o he_o to_o commit_v those_o sin_n whereunto_o he_o be_v addict_v and_o that_o there_o be_v no_o eternal_a punishment_n prepare_v for_o they_o this_o that_o i_o have_v lay_v for_o a_o ground_n i_o think_v will_v be_v easy_o grant_v for_o all_o man_n desire_v happiness_n the_o will_n that_o be_v free_a in_o the_o mean_n be_v not_o free_a in_o the_o end_n it_o can_v but_o desire_v happiness_n and_o abhor_v all_o thing_n that_o be_v destructive_a of_o it_o and_o consequent_o can_v but_o abhor_v a_o eternal_a punishment_n which_o it_o know_v to_o be_v incompatible_a with_o happiness_n now_o then_o if_o every_o sinner_n wish_v that_o it_o may_v be_v lawful_a for_o he_o to_o commit_v those_o sin_n whereunto_o he_o be_v addict_v and_o that_o there_o be_v no_o eternal_a punishment_n provide_v for_o they_o what_o be_v this_o but_o to_o wish_v that_o god_n be_v not_o so_o wise_a or_o so_o just_a or_o so_o merciful_a as_o he_o be_v for_o sin_n as_o i_o say_v be_v contrary_a to_o wisdom_n justice_n and_o mercy_n and_o consequent_o to_o wish_v that_o he_o be_v not_o god_n for_o it_o be_v impossible_a he_o shall_v be_v god_n and_o not_o be_v infinite_o wise_a and_o infinite_o just_a and_o infinite_o merciful_a they_o that_o will_v have_v god_n want_v those_o perfection_n will_v have_v he_o want_v his_o be_v for_o his_o be_v be_v make_v up_o of_o those_o perfection_n so_o that_o all_o sinner_n do_v inclusive_o though_o not_o express_o desire_v god_n ruin_n and_o that_o his_o very_a nature_n and_o be_v be_v destroy_v for_o it_o be_v all_o one_o in_o substance_n to_o desire_v a_o thing_n direct_o or_o by_o way_n of_o consequence_n as_o for_o example_n he_o that_o desire_v that_o it_o be_v night_n do_v in_o substance_n and_o inclusive_o desire_v the_o sun_n be_v down_o although_o he_o do_v not_o express_o and_o actual_o think_v upon_o the_o sun_n in_o like_a manner_n they_o that_o desire_v it_o may_v be_v lawful_a for_o they_o to_o sin_n and_o that_o there_o be_v no_o eternal_a punishment_n appoint_v for_o sinner_n do_v in_o substance_n and_o inclusive_o desire_v that_o god_n be_v not_o so_o wise_a or_o so_o just_a or_o so_o merciful_a as_o he_o be_v although_o express_o and_o actual_o they_o do_v not_o think_v upon_o his_o wisdom_n or_o justice_n or_o mercy_n second_o sin_n be_v against_o god_n respectu_fw-la communitatis_fw-la in_o respect_n of_o the_o community_n or_o in_o respect_n of_o all_o the_o creature_n for_o the_o whole_a world_n be_v one_o community_n or_o incorporation_n whereof_o god_n be_v the_o governor_n and_o protector_n the_o creature_n be_v as_o it_o be_v the_o member_n and_o he_o be_v the_o head_n and_o therefore_o whatsoever_o be_v do_v against_o the_o community_n or_o against_o the_o creature_n be_v do_v against_o god_n our_o saviour_n christ_n be_v the_o head_n and_o protector_n of_o the_o

a_o injury_n offer_v to_o himself_o saul_n saul_n say_v he_o why_o persecute_v thou_o i_o act._n 9.4_o in_o the_o general_a carriage_n of_o affair_n in_o all_o commonwealth_n that_o which_o be_v do_v against_o the_o common_a wealth_n in_o general_a or_o against_o any_o particular_a member_n thereof_o be_v do_v against_o the_o king_n if_o one_o man_n kill_v another_o the_o king_n will_v present_o

injury_n soever_o be_v offer_v to_o any_o of_o the_o creature_n be_v a_o injury_n to_o god_n so_o that_o david_n sin_v against_o uriah_n and_o against_o bathsheba_n and_o against_o joab_n and_o against_o the_o whole_a army_n may_v be_v say_v in_o that_o respect_n also_o to_o have_v sin_v against_o god_n and_o thus_o you_o have_v see_v all_o the_o part_n of_o david_n confession_n both_o in_o
