slave_n and_o vassal_n than_o like_o a_o free_a people_n or_o god_n heritage_n that_o this_o be_v foretell_v of_o saul_n the_o 18_o ver._n make_v appear_v where_o it_o be_v say_v you_o shall_v cry_v

receive_v so_o terrible_a a_o account_n by_o god_n holy_a prophet_n yet_o read_v ver._n 19_o all_o this_o move_v they_o not_o but_o they_o persist_v say_v but_o we_o will_v have_v a_o king_n who_o can_v have_v think_v the_o jew_n to_o be_v so_o stupid_a and_o senseless_a yet_o we_o have_v hear_v other_o that_o match_n they_o cry_v out_o we_o will_v have_v a_o king_n we_o will_v have_v the_o

their_o desire_n be_v please_v to_o relieve_v they_o for_o he_o do_v as_o be_v say_v hosea_n 13.11_o give_v they_o a_o king_n in_o his_o anger_n and_o take_v he_o away_o in_o his_o wrath_n instead_o of_o say_v the_o lord_n give_v and_o the_o lord_n have_v take_v away_o and_o bless_v be_v the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n we_o hear_v they_o blow_v their_o trumpet_n with_o traitor_n sheba_n and_o say_v we_o have_v no_o part_n in_o david_n nor_o inheritance_n in_o the_o son_n of_o jesse_n thus_o much_o of_o the_o person_n reject_v turn_v we_o now_o our_o eye_n to_o the_o person_n elect_v his_o

of_o sheba_n unworthy_a desertion_n 1._o that_o this_o king_n david_n of_o who_o sheba_n and_o his_o wicked_a crew_n be_v so_o weary_a be_v a_o king_n of_o god_n choose_n the_o people_n choose_v saul_n as_o you_o read_v 1_o sam._n 8.18_o for_o have_v saul_n they_o will_v though_o forewarn_v of_o his_o ill_a quality_n but_o god_n choose_v david_n 1_o sam._n 16.12_o when_o david_n appear_v the_o lord_n say_v unto_o samuel_n arise_v anoint_v he_o for_o this_o be_v he_o whoso_o read_v the_o first_o verse_n of_o that_o chapter_n will_v find_v samuel_n something_a loath_a to_o go_v upon_o the_o employment_n of_o anoint_v a_o new_a king_n but_o he_o be_v not_o so_o backward_o but_o god_n be_v as_o urgent_a ask_v he_o how_o long_o will_v thou_o mourn_v for_o saul_n samuel_n mourn_v not_o for_o saul_n deposition_n but_o impenitence_n otherwise_o he_o have_v show_v himself_o discontent_v with_o what_o god_n have_v do_v which_o be_v it_o far_o from_o we_o to_o imagine_v however_o we_o may_v see_v god_n like_v not_o too_o much_o lament_v the_o person_n he_o have_v reject_v how_o then_o will_v he_o have_v take_v it_o if_o samuel_n have_v make_v any_o attempt_n to_o restore_v such_o a_o one_o i_o shall_v have_v think_v if_o the_o troop_n of_o nonjuror_n have_v draw_v up_o against_o this_o text_n they_o will_v have_v be_v utter_o rout_v but_o they_o never_o discover_v this_o enemy_n we_o can_v now_o expect_v that_o god_n shall_v give_v such_o plain_a and_o positive_a direction_n as_o former_o in_o the_o election_n of_o king_n yet_o be_v we_o not_o leave_v without_o all_o rule_n for_o sure_o when_o we_o see_v unconceivable_a hindrance_n remove_v when_o we_o see_v that_o all_o that_o force_n wit_n and_o power_n can_v do_v miraculous_o disappoint_v and_o that_o the_o way_n to_o the_o throne_n as_o inaccessible_a as_o it_o be_v think_v make_v smooth_a and_o easy_a without_o blood_n treachery_n or_o cruelty_n what_o can_v we_o say_v less_o than_o that_o god_n have_v do_v all_o this_o in_o favour_n of_o his_o choose_v in_o plain_a term_n we_o be_v teach_v by_o our_o religion_n to_o ascribe_v all_o good_a thing_n to_o god_n because_o every_o good_a gift_n come_v from_o he_o who_o then_o dare_v say_v this_o be_v not_o a_o good_a and_o a_o great_a gift_n that_o god_n have_v give_v we_o viz._n a_o wise_a and_o valiant_a prince_n and_o with_o he_o a_o new_a lease_n and_o i_o hope_v a_o very_a long_a one_o of_o our_o religion_n law_n and_o liberty_n 2._o another_o particular_a manifest_v sheba_n complaint_n to_o be_v unjust_a and_o the_o alienate_n israel_n heart_n from_o david_n to_o be_v traitorous_a be_v david_n be_v not_o only_o choose_v of_o god_n but_o he_o be_v the_o better_a of_o the_o two_o 1_o sam._n 15.28_o samuel_n tell_v saul_n that_o god_n have_v not_o only_o rend_v the_o kingdom_n from_o he_o but_o that_o he_o have_v give_v it_o to_o a_o neighbour_n of_o he_o who_o be_v better_a than_o he_o i_o can_v but_o take_v notice_n of_o this_o pious_a courage_n in_o god_n priest_n he_o be_v neither_o son_n of_o fear_n nor_o slave_n of_o flattery_n he_o can_v not_o call_v a_o wicked_a saul_n a_o most_o gracious_a and_o religious_a king_n but_o he_o tell_v he_o that_o god_n have_v choose_v a_o better_a not_o that_o david_n be_v so_o much_o saul_n better_a by_o nature_n as_o grace_n for_o god_n have_v give_v he_o a_o better_a spirit_n more_o obedient_a and_o ready_a to_o do_v the_o will_n of_o god_n and_o set_v forth_o his_o glory_n in_o govern_v of_o the_o people_n commit_v to_o his_o charge_n in_o godliness_n peace_n and_o wealth_n so_o much_o do_v david_n excel_v saul_n that_o he_o be_v say_v to_o be_v a_o man_n after_o god_n own_o heart_n 1_o sam._n 13.14_o and_o as_o st._n paul_n in_o his_o sermon_n at_o antioch_n 13._o act_n 22._o add_v which_o shall_v fulfil_v all_o thy_o will._n hence_o it_o be_v easy_a to_o know_v who_o be_v the_o king_n of_o god_n election_n or_o the_o king_n after_o god_n own_o heart_n namely_o he_o that_o delight_v in_o do_v the_o will_n of_o god_n he_o that_o uphold_v true_a religion_n justice_n and_o honesty_n in_o his_o dominion_n which_o be_v agreeable_a to_o the_o will_n of_o god_n david_n be_v real_o much_o better_a than_o saul_n not_o so_o much_o in_o regard_n of_o his_o extraordinary_a endowment_n as_o his_o gracious_a performance_n we_o find_v 78_o psal_n 72._o he_o feed_v god_n people_n according_a to_o the_o integrity_n of_o his_o heart_n he_o give_v they_o not_o stone_n for_o bread_n he_o guide_v they_o by_o the_o skilfulness_n of_o his_o hand_n he_o provide_v faithful_o for_o his_o subject_n he_o guide_v they_o by_o the_o best_a of_o counsel_n and_o defend_v they_o by_o the_o utmost_a of_o his_o power_n he_o neither_o sell_v nor_o betray_v they_o he_o neither_o enslave_v nor_o impoverish_v they_o 2_o sam._n 8.15_o he_o execute_v judgement_n and_o justice_n unto_o all_o his_o people_n so_o that_o there_o be_v no_o cry_v out_o nor_o complain_v for_o want_n of_o justice_n in_o the_o street_n of_o jerusalem_n before_o david_n time_n religion_n be_v unsettled_a the_o ark_n be_v always_o shift_v from_o place_n to_o place_n but_o by_o david_n it_o be_v settle_v at_o jerusalem_n sure_o it_o be_v a_o remarkable_a happiness_n and_o such_o as_o may_v render_v a_o government_n bless_a and_o acceptable_a to_o have_v religion_n settle_v that_o we_o halt_v not_o between_o two_o opinion_n be_v in_o some_o place_n permit_v to_o worship_n god_n and_o in_o other_o call_v to_o adore_v jeroboam_n calf_n we_o read_v indeed_o ezek._n 11.11_o of_o some_o prince_n that_o account_v their_o chief_a city_n as_o cauldron_n and_o their_o people_n as_o flesh_n to_o be_v sod_a therein_o unhappy_a the_o people_n that_o be_v in_o such_o a_o

that_o tempt_v a_o king_n to_o the_o abuse_n of_o his_o power_n who_o can_v believe_v that_o god_n will_v ever_o permit_v his_o power_n to_o be_v turn_v upon_o himself_o and_o such_o prince_n
