streit_n against_o their_o enemy_n even_o then_o lord_n when_o they_o be_v in_o their_o great_a pride_n and_o presumption_n and_o in_o the_o very_o high_a pinnacle_n of_o their_o jollity_n and_o

hagarent_a etc._n etc._n these_o be_v as_o cunning_a and_o cruel_a and_o numerous_a and_o proud_a as_o ever_o those_o be_v and_o thy_o name_n be_v as_o dear_a &_o thy_o people_n as_o precious_a to_o thou_o now_o as_o ever_o and_o therefore_o lord_n do_v unto_o they_o as_o to_o the_o midianite_n etc._n etc._n but_o we_o shall_v look_v upon_o the_o word_n at_o this_o time_n as_o a_o pprophecy_n for_o albeit_o they_o run_v in_o form_n of_o a_o imprecation_n yet_o it_o be_v consider_v what_o david_n be_v a_o prophet_n we_o must_v needs_o think_v the_o ground_n of_o his_o speech_n be_v the_o

of_o god_n i_o say_v this_o be_v nothing_o else_o but_o a_o prophetical_a speech_n of_o david_n as_o therefore_o david_n well_o know_v and_o have_v say_v that_o burn_a co●les_n will_v fall_v upon_o the_o wicked_a and_o that_o they_o shall_v be_v cast_v into_o the_o fire_n and_o into_o the_o deep_a pit_n that_o they_o rise_v not_o again_o psal_n 140.10.11_o so_o here_o he_o testify_v the_o

we_o have_v this_o ancient_a undeniable_a truth_n to_o discourse_v upon_o that_o the_o enemy_n of_o god_n shall_v sure_o perish_v as_o do_v the_o midianite_n and_o as_o sisera_n and_o jabin_n perish_v before_o we_o make_v any_o further_a progress_n it_o will_v be_v most_o necessary_a that_o we_o explicate_v the_o term_n what_o be_v mean_v by_o the_o enemy_n of_o god_n and_o who_o those_o

of_o god_n thus_o you_o shall_v find_v the_o lord_n repute_v amaleck_n a_o utter_a and_o almost_o irreconciliable_a enemy_n to_o himself_o because_o he_o be_v israel_n enemy_n he_o swear_v he_o
