little_a scan_v and_o consider_v what_o it_o be_v in_o this_o action_n that_o make_v david_n thus_o strange_o scrupulous_a and_o first_o of_o all_o be_v it_o for_o that_o he_o have_v touch_v and_o

for_o when_o afterward_o in_o the_o like_a case_n he_o come_v upon_o saul_n as_o he_o be_v sleep_v in_o the_o camp_n and_o take_v from_o he_o the_o spear_n and_o the_o pot_n of_o water_n which_o

saul_n in_o mangle_v his_o garment_n indeed_o the_o jew_n have_v a_o tradition_n that_o this_o be_v the_o sin_n of_o which_o david_n be_v here_o so_o sensible_a and_o therefore_o say_v they_o
