to_o come_v more_o particular_o to_o the_o point_n that_o we_o may_v resolve_v conscience_n anon_o we_o will_v see_v first_o what_o saul_n do_v and_o by_o who_o instigation_n he_o do_v it_o then_o who_o this_o edomite_n be_v what_o saul_n do_v be_v legible_a before_o write_v in_o bloody_a character_n which_o will_v remain_v unto_o the_o world_n end_n by_o who●e_a instigation_n he_o do_v it_o this_o be_v as_o legible_a also_o by_o the_o instigation_n of_o the_o devil_n vex_v and_o torment_v saul_n effectual_o work_v in_o he_o together_o with_o his_o own_o spirit_n thereby_o agitate_a stirred-up_a and_o boil_a to_o the_o height_n of_o extreme_a wrath_n against_o david_n and_o all_o those_o that_o wish_v well_o unto_o or_o have_v their_o hand_n with_o david_n this_o be_v premise_v i_o conclude_v first_o that_o conscience_n can_v not_o hold-backe_a israel_n from_o help_v their_o brethren_n in_o the_o day_n of_o distress_n and_o tread_v down_o for_o who_o do_v so_o oppress_v israel_n at_o this_o time_n it_o must_v be_v answer_v saul_n their_o king_n for_o he_o have_v hand_n and_o foot_n and_o other_o instrument_n beside_o to_o execute_v the_o wrath_n but_o all_o he_o do_v be_v by_o the_o devil_n motion_n that_o evil_a spirit_n upon_o he_o which_o hurry_v he_o from_o place_n to_o place_n so_o as_o he_o do_v not_o go_v but_o be_v drive_v and_o all_o his_o way_n long_o he_o breathe_v out_o threaten_n against_o david_n by_o the_o motion_n of_o this_o evil_a spirit_n and_o his_o own_o which_o every_o man_n saul_n also_o be_v bind_v to_o resist_v do_v saul_n do_v all_o this_o therefore_o whatsoever_o israel_n make_v conscience_n of_o they_o can_v make_v conscience_n of_o resist_v the_o devil_n or_o the_o private_a will_n which_o by_o the_o help_n of_o the_o devil_n have_v do_v all_o the_o violence_n that_o ever_o be_v do_v in_o the_o world_n i_o presume_v this_o be_v a_o clear_v case_n therefore_o i_o leave_v it_o for_o if_o saul_n act_v by_o a_o evil_a spirit_n will_v fly_v at_o israel_n throat_n they_o can_v make_v no_o conscience_n in_o the_o world_n to_o resist_v he_o i_o mean_v the_o bloody_a act_n and_o notorious_a violence_n of_o the_o devil_n second_o israel_n must_v look_v upon_o saul_n now_o the_o great_a fiduciary_n of_o the_o kingdom_n betray_v that_o trust_n into_o a_o edomite_n hand_n then_o smite_v israel_n city_n man_n and_o beast_n there_o
