of_o the_o end_n and_o intention_n of_o flatterer_n we_o may_v discern_v between_o christian_a comitie_n and_o gentleness_n and_o carnal_a adulation_n and_o flattery_n s._n paul_n become_v all_o

that_o achish_a send_v back_n david_n to_o defend_v the_o border_n of_o the_o philistines_n lest_o the_o enemy_n shall_v invade_v the_o land_n while_o they_o go_v against_o israel_n add_v further_o that_o this_o shall_v be_v as_o acceptable_a a_o service_n unto_o he_o as_o if_o he_o go_v with_o he_o to_o battle_n 2._o but_o the_o true_a cause_n achish_n open_v himself_o say_v that_o he_o shall_v

2._o beside_o by_o this_o accident_n god_n chastise_v and_o correct_v david_n if_o he_o have_v entertain_v any_o such_o thought_n as_o to_o fight_v against_o israel_n osiand_n 3._o yet_o so_o as_o the_o lord_n remember_v his_o mercy_n in_o judgement_n and_o so_o overrule_v the_o amalekite_n as_o that_o they_o put_v none_o to_o the_o sword_n but_o only_o carry_v david_n wife_n away_o captive_a that_o they_o may_v be_v recover_v again_o alive_a mar._n 4._o god_n providence_n also_o further_o show_v itself_o towards_o david_n in_o that_o achish_n do_v hasten_v he_o forward_o to_o go_v away_o

it_o will_v be_v object_v that_o the_o punish_v of_o sin_n and_o the_o execution_n of_o god_n judgement_n be_v a_o thing_n please_v unto_o god_n &_o therefore_o satan_n work_n and_o ministry_n shall_v be_v to_o his_o like_n to_o this_o i_o answer_v by_o a_o double_a distinction_n first_o the_o work_n itself_o be_v to_o be_v consider_v than_o the_o worker_n for_o the_o work_n the_o lord_n be_v more_o incline_v to_o mercy_n then_o to_o judgement_n and_o the_o work_n of_o mercy_n be_v more_o peculiar_a unto_o god_n than_o the_o work_n of_o judgement_n therefore_o when_o the_o lord_n punish_v

of_o god_n peculiar_a work_n of_o mercy_n but_o of_o god_n strange_a work_n of_o judgement_n whereof_o the_o good_a angel_n sometime_o be_v minister_n also_o but_o often_o of_o mercy_n &_o they_o be_v chief_o employ_v in_o punish_v of_o the_o wicked_a but_o satan_n be_v use_v both_o in_o punish_v they_o and_o in_o chastise_v also_o and_o try_v the_o servant_n of_o god_n as_o we_o have_v job_n for_o a_o example_n second_o concern_v the_o worker_n the_o service_n of_o the_o angel_n be_v acceptable_a unto_o god_n because_o they_o do_v it_o both_o willing_o and_o to_o a_o good_a end_n be_v move_v

of_o infirmity_n be_v take_v for_o the_o infirmity_n itself_o osiand_n but_o there_o be_v more_o in_o saul_n then_o fit_v of_o melancholy_a as_o the_o phrase_n show_v that_o a_o evil_a spirit_n from_o

this_o error_n see_v the_o scripture_n give_v testimony_n hereunto_o that_o the_o devil_n be_v spirit_n without_o flesh_n and_o bone_n as_o our_o saviour_n say_v luk._n 24.39_o and_o in_o the_o
