god_n discharge_v he_o say_v how_o long_o will_v thou_o mourn_v for_o saul_n so_o that_o notwithstanding_o god_n do_v afterward_o prohibit_v samuel_n to_o mourn_v for_o saul_n yet_o we_o may_v safe_o conclude_v that_o till_o then_o he_o do_v well_o to_o mourn_v for_o he_o therefore_o in_o my_o discourse_n i_o shall_v look_v upon_o samuel_n as_o perform_v a_o duty_n in_o so_o do_v and_o shall_v propound_v he_o as_o a_o pattern_n for_o we_o that_o we_o may_v go_v and_o do_v likewise_o nevertheless_o samuel_n mourn_v for_o saul_n 1_o let_v we_o consider_v the_o agent_n samuel_n and_o we_o may_v consider_v he_o under_o these_o notion_n 1_o samuel_n a_o holy_a gracious_a man_n a_o man_n full_a of_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n mourn_v some_o new_a light_n man_n pretend_v to_o a_o great_a gospel-spirit_n preach_v nothing_o but_o privilege_n practise_v nothing_o but_o joy_n and_o spiritual_a rejoice_v say_v it_o be_v for_o low_a spirit_n weak_a puny_a christian_n to_o lie_v mourning_n and_o weep_v and_o fill_v their_o soul_n with_o heaviness_n but_o holy_a samuel_n here_o be_v either_o yet_o below_o their_o spirit_n which_o i_o can_v think_v he_o be_v or_o beside_o their_o mind_n and_o so_o indeed_o he_o be_v for_o he_o mourn_v for_o saul_n he_o be_v beside_o their_o mind_n and_o i_o doubt_v they_o beside_o themselves_o for_o i_o be_o sure_a our_o saviour_n pronounce_v a_o blessing_n upon_o gospel-mourner_n mat._n 5._o 4._o and_o i_o also_o know_v that_o the_o most_o gracious_a spirit_n have_v be_v ever_o the_o most_o tender_a and_o sympathize_v and_o most_o mournful_a over_o the_o sin_n and_o suffering_n of_o other_o moses_n the_o familiar_a friend_n of_o god_n who_o be_v faithful_a in_o all_o his_o house_n though_o of_o a_o great_a and_o gracious_a spirit_n mourn_v over_o the_o stiff-necked_a hard-hearted_a and_o rebellious_a israelite_n josiah_n be_v a_o man_n of_o singular_a piety_n and_o yet_o of_o singular_a tenderness_n elijah_n be_v a_o man_n full_a of_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o yet_o full_a of_o complaint_n for_o the_o idolatry_n and_o backslide_n of_o the_o people_n 1_o king_n 19_o 10._o david_n be_v a_o man_n after_o god_n

and_o he_o be_v one_o of_o a_o mournful_a spirit_n he_o wring_v his_o hand_n and_o fqueeze_v his_o eye_n nay_o and_o drain_v his_o very_a soul_n too_o for_o tear_n all_z up_z and_o down_o his_o prophecy_n especial_o chap._n 4._o 19_o 9_o 1_o 2._o 13._o 17._o nay_o he_o mourn_v bitter_o for_o the_o desolation_n of_o moab_n a_o rebellious_a uncircumcised_a people_n jer._n 48._o 31_o 32._o paul_n a_o man_n of_o a_o gospel-spirit_n and_o otherwise_o of_o a_o great_a and_o undaunted_a spirit_n think_v that_o mourn_v for_o the_o sinful_a and_o impenitent_a be_v a_o duty_n suitable_a enough_o to_o his_o spirit_n 2_o cor._n 12._o ult_n we_o may_v learn_v from_o the_o example_n of_o holy_a samuel_n mourn_v for_o saul_n that_o mourning_n be_v not_o a_o exercise_n unbecoming_a the_o most_o gracious_a spirit_n 2_o samuel_n a_o man_n mighty_a in_o prayer_n mourn_v for_o saul_n he_o be_v so_o mighty_a in_o prayer_n with_o god_n that_o when_o god_n will_v express_v a_o man_n prevalent_a in_o prayer_n he_o use_v samuel_n name_n to_o signify_v he_o by_o jer._n 15._o 1._o though_o moses_n and_o samuel_n stand_v before_o i_o yet_o can_v not_o my_o mind_n be_v towards_o this_o people_n yet_o samuel_n do_v not_o improve_v his_o interest_n at_o the_o throne_n of_o grace_n against_o saul_n do_v not_o implore_v god_n for_o his_o ruin_n but_o betake_v himself_o to_o his_o tear_n samuel_n mourn_v for_o saul_n note_n it_o be_v observable_a that_o the_o servant_n of_o god_n who_o have_v be_v most_o strong_a in_o prayer_n have_v rare_o improve_v their_o interest_n at_o the_o throne_n of_o grace_n against_o any_o no_o not_o their_o enemy_n moses_n when_o he_o be_v slight_v and_o set_v at_o nought_o by_o the_o people_n and_o threaten_v also_o yet_o do_v not_o pray_v for_o their_o ruin_n but_o for_o their_o relief_n rather_o exod._n 17._o 4._o such_o a_o spirit_n be_v holy_a david_n of_o as_o you_o may_v see_v in_o his_o behaviour_n upon_o occasion_n of_o shimei_n curse_v 2_o sam._n 16._o 10._o this_o be_v the_o spirit_n of_o holy_a stephen_n who_o be_v so_o full_a of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n act._n 7._o 60._o instead_o of_o put_v up_o imprecation_n of_o wrath_n against_o they_o he_o deprecate_v the_o wrath_n that_o may_v just_o have_v fall_v upon_o they_o say_v lord_n lay_v not_o this_o sin_n to_o their_o charge_n this_o spirit_n be_v in_o our_o bless_a saviour_n mat._n 26._o 53_o 54._o luk._n 23._o 34._o and_o 9_o 54_o 55._o and_o this_o spirit_n he_o commend_v to_o all_o his_o mat._n 5._o 44._o true_o indeed_o sometime_o we_o find_v the_o servant_n of_o god_n ready_a to_o pray_v against_o their_o enemy_n in_o scripture_n but_o than_o it_o be_v either_o out_o of_o weakness_n as_o the_o two_o disciple_n luk._n 9_o 54._o or_o be_v act_v by_o a_o extraordinary_a prophetical_a spirit_n as_o elijah_n 2_o king_n 1._o and_o david_n ofttimes_o in_o the_o psalm_n or_o in_o passion_n as_o jer._n 20._o 15_o 16._o but_o you_o shall_v never_o hear_v any_o such_o thing_n from_o they_o unless_o they_o be_v beside_o themselves_o in_o passion_n and_o so_o they_o must_v not_o be_v imitate_v or_o above_o themselves_o extraordinary_o act_v and_o so_o we_o can_v imitate_v they_o but_o alas_o how_o few_o such_o spirit_n how_o little_a such_o moderation_n be_v to_o be_v find_v among_o we_o if_o many_o hot_a spirit_n have_v as_o much_o strength_n with_o god_n and_o interest_n in_o the_o throne_n of_o grace_n as_o samuel_n have_v we_o shall_v quick_o have_v fire_n upon_o our_o head_n whereas_o samuel_n who_o be_v great_a in_o power_n and_o might_n improve_v not_o his_o might_n against_o saul_n but_o mourn_v for_o he_o nay_o it_o be_v most_o sad_a of_o all_o to_o hear_v god_n people_n groan_v in_o prayer_n one_o against_o another_o insomuch_o that_o if_o the_o wise_a god_n be_v not_o merciful_a to_o they_o in_o deny_v their_o prayer_n sometime_o they_o will_v set_v the_o world_n on_o fire_n whereas_o they_o ought_v rather_o to_o mourn_v for_o one_o another_o as_o samuel_n here_o who_o be_v otherwise_o strong_a in_o prayer_n even_o to_o a_o proverb_n 3_o samuel_n a_o man_n as_o much_o hate_v saul_n manner_n as_o any_o man_n yet_o mourn_v for_o his_o condition_n it_o be_v a_o hard_a thing_n to_o be_v displease_v at_o a_o man_n manner_n and_o yet_o nor_o to_o hate_v his_o person_n nor_o to_o rejoice_v in_o the_o evil_a that_o befall_v he_o common_o when_o we_o be_v displease_v with_o a_o man_n act_n we_o be_v proportionable_o please_v with_o his_o suffering_n to_o distinguish_v between_o a_o man_n condition_n and_o his_o condition_n so_o as_o to_o abbor_v the_o one_o and_o yet_o to_o commiserate_v the_o other_o be_v a_o great_a art_n and_o such_o a_o one_o as_o david_n may_v seem_v sometime_o not_o to_o have_v very_o well_o learn_v when_o he_o rejoice_v in_o the_o death_n of_o churlish_a nabal_n 1_o sam._n 25._o 39_o unless_o we_o choose_v rather_o to_o say_v that_o david_n rejoice_v not_o that_o nabal_n be_v dead_a but_o that_o he_o do_v not_o kill_v he_o which_o yet_o do_v not_o seem_v to_o be_v all_o however_o at_o any_o other_o time_n he_o show_v himself_o a_o artist_n in_o this_o art_n to_o the_o life_n as_o may_v appear_v to_o he_o that_o read_v psal_n 35._o 11_o 12_o 13_o 14._o oh_o admirable_a soul_n oh_o wonderful_a self-denying_a frame_n of_o spirit_n ready_a to_o die_v for_o thy_o enemy_n that_o be_v sick_a go_v in_o sackcloth_n for_o the_o affliction_n of_o a_o unkind_a adversary_n oh_o bless_a soul_n every_o one_o will_v admire_v thou_o but_o who_o can_v imitate_v thou_o oh_o labour_n we_o all_o to_o be_v ashamed_a of_o ourselves_o that_o one_o and_o the_o same_o hatred_n be_v so_o apt_a to_o comprehend_v the_o man_n with_o the_o manner_n and_o for_o the_o future_a to_o imitate_v holy_a david_n who_o although_o he_o be_v offend_v at_o a_o persecute_v saul_n yet_o lament_v a_o die_a saul_n and_o good_a samuel_n who_o although_o he_o reject_v 17._o 2_o sam._n 1._o 17._o a_o sin_v saul_n vers_fw-la 26._o yet_o mourn_v for_o a_o reject_a saul_n vers_fw-la 35._o nevertheless_o samuel_n mourn_v for_o saul_n so_o much_o for_o the_o agent_n samuel_n and_o what_o may_v be_v gather_v from_o he_o 2_o the_o action_n mourn_v samuel_n mourn_v for_o saul_n 1_o we_o may_v observe_v that_o he_o do_v not_o rejoice_v in_o saul_n rejection_n much_o less_o in_o his_o sin_n
