the_o application_n of_o the_o matter_n of_o they_o to_o ourselves_o first_o i_o begin_v with_o they_o in_o the_o first_o sense_n and_o therein_o with_o 1._o the_o first_o observable_a in_o they_o david_n institute_v a_o form_n of_o lamentation_n for_o the_o death_n of_o saul_n and_o david_n lament_v with_o this_o lamentation_n over_o saul_n and_o over_o jonathan_n his_o son_n in_o speak_v to_o which_o i_o do_v not_o desire_v to_o be_v interrupt_v with_o the_o clamorous_a objection_n of_o this_o age_n against_o all_o public_a form_n in_o any_o thing_n relative_a to_o divine_a service_n it_o be_v very_o well_o and_o a_o happy_a thing_n that_o the_o great_a starter_n of_o the_o dispute_n have_v sufficient_o confute_v their_o own_o maxim_n and_o the_o impose_v a_o public_a directory_n will_v make_v ridiculous_a all_o general_a argument_n against_o liturgy_n it_o be_v sufficient_a that_o the_o institution_n of_o this_o stand_v warrant_v by_o and_o may_v claim_v a_o right_n in_o all_o those_o great_a reason_n for_o a_o stand_a liturgy_n which_o yet_o do_v and_o i_o be_o confident_a will_v stand_v unassoil_v to_o the_o great_a dissolution_n and_o if_o there_o be_v any_o man_n that_o think_v otherwise_o he_o have_v now_o a_o fair_a opportunity_n to_o signalise_v himself_o and_o gain_v the_o reputation_n of_o a_o dare_a goliath_n by_o challenge_v all_o the_o army_n of_o israel_n and_o i_o little_a doubt_n but_o he_o shall_v meet_v with_o the_o fate_n of_o his_o great_a denominator_fw-la and_o i_o be_o the_o more_o confirm_v herein_o because_o here_o be_v a_o david_n that_o stand_v ready_a to_o take_v up_o the_o gauntlet_n and_o it_o may_v not_o perhaps_o be_v impertinent_a or_o unpleasant_a to_o observe_v that_o as_o if_o there_o be_v some_o secret_a magic_n or_o charm_n in_o the_o name_n of_o david_n all_o that_o relate_v to_o he_o have_v never_o be_v controvert_v and_o of_o all_o the_o part_n in_o the_o liturgy_n the_o psalm_n the_o metrical_a composure_n of_o david_n which_o be_v so_o great_a a_o part_n of_o it_o have_v least_o of_o all_o be_v dispute_v and_o i_o can_v guess_v at_o a_o reason_n of_o this_o unless_o it_o be_v that_o their_o pretence_n to_o the_o spirit_n will_v hence_o have_v receive_v their_o own_o confutation_n and_o all_o man_n see_v it_o be_v not_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n that_o act_v they_o for_o there_o be_v no_o doubt_n
