i_o say_v amiss_o that_o most_o holy_a king_n david_n say_v even_o as_o much_o for_o when_o the_o wicked_a shimier_n reproach_v he_o with_o word_n nay_o even_o cast_v stone_n at_o he_o and_o some_o

in_o do_v this_o yea_o doubtless_o a_o most_o heinous_a one_o observe_v a_o while_n and_o the_o truth_n will_v easy_o appear_v when_o david_n the_o wise_a of_o king_n see_v this_o wretch_n shimei_n all_o alone_a and_o unarm_v and_o yet_o hear_v he_o calumniate_v he_o resolute_o and_o without_o fear_n he_o present_o be_v of_o opinion_n that_o the_o first_o beginning_n or_o fundamental_a cause_n

first_o be_v the_o natural_a motion_n of_o the_o body_n or_o will_v or_o of_o they_o both_o joint_o together_o the_o other_o be_v the_o transgression_n itself_o of_o the_o law_n for_o example_n one_o

which_o can_v be_v do_v without_o god_n help_n and_o this_o be_v the_o first_o thing_n which_o ought_v to_o be_v consider_v in_o every_o sin_n which_o without_o doubt_n be_v by_o this_o mean_v further_v by_o god_n himself_o but_o the_o other_o be_v the_o very_a nature_n itself_o of_o sin_n as_o when_o this_o natural_a action_n be_v employ_v contrary_a to_o reason_n against_o conscience_n and_o the_o law_n of_o god_n this_o god_n neither_o will_v nor_o command_v nevertheless_o he_o direct_v the_o perverse_a will_n of_o this_o man_n or_o that_o sin_n and_o transgression_n of_o his_o law_n to_o the_o punishment_n admonition_n correction_n or_o increase_v the_o patience_n of_o another_o man_n therefore_o of_o do_v the_o thing_n god_n be_v the_o author_n and_o when_o it_o be_v ill_o do_v he_o be_v a_o provident_a director_n so_o god_n assist_v shimei_n to_o utter_v his_o word_n to_o cast_v dirt_n and_o stone_n for_o these_o be_v no_o other_o than_o natural_a motion_n but_o for_o so_o much_o as_o shimei_n show_v a_o malicious_a will_n against_o his_o prince_n thereunto_o god_n concur_v not_o but_o nevertheless_o direct_v it_o to_o a_o very_a good_a end_n that_o by_o these_o calumny_n the_o sin_n of_o david_n may_v be_v punish_v his_o patience_n and_o humility_n exercise_v and_o this_o may_v be_v see_v and_o observe_v in_o all_o sin_n and_o in_o all_o injury_n whatsoever_o the_o evil_a of_o sin_n god_n tolerate_v and_o the_o evil_a of_o punishment_n he_o order_n and_o direct_v to_o a_o good_a end_n to_o increase_v patience_n and_o to_o punish_v sin_n thus_o he_o permit_v famine_n war_n plague_n deluge_n burn_a theft_n injury_n injustice_n and_o enormous_a crime_n and_o withal_o so_o dispose_v they_o that_o even_o by_o these_o evil_n he_o manife_v to_o

of_o which_o doctrine_n we_o produce_v truth_n itself_o for_o a_o witness_n god_n be_v high_o offend_v with_o the_o jew_n say_v i_o will_v gather_v evil_n upon_o they_o and_o glut_v my_o arrow_n
