in_o penitent_a devotion_n we_o find_v something_o agreeable_a to_o this_o in_o the_o instance_n of_o david_n after_o his_o adultery_n and_o murder_n psal_n 6.6_o i_o make_v my_o bed_n to_o swim_v

by_o that_o signal_n 2._o the_o truth_n of_o his_o repentance_n be_v confirm_v by_o his_o extraordinary_a zeal_n and_o forwardness_n afterward_o to_o express_v his_o love_n to_o christ_n and_o
