man_n be_v the_o best_a for_o any_o purpose_n the_o best_a in_o every_o relation_n the_o best_a king_n the_o best_a subject_n the_o best_a master_n the_o best_a servant_n the_o best_a every_o thing_n note_n it_o be_v worth_a observe_n that_o as_o god_n have_v be_v ever_o careful_a to_o give_v command_n concern_v his_o magistrate_n and_o vicegerent_n so_o the_o best_a man_n have_v be_v always_o most_o careful_a to_o observe_v those_o command_n have_v carry_v it_o most_o tender_o reverent_o and_o obsequious_o towards_o they_o samuel_n here_o have_v still_o a_o secret_a respect_n for_o god_n anoint_v nevertheless_o samuel_n mourn_v for_o saul_n consider_v what_o be_v say_v under_o the_o last_o particular_a 2_o saul_n a_o enemy_n in_o probability_n saul_n be_v by_o this_o time_n become_v samuel_n enemy_n there_o be_v a_o passage_n in_o the_o four_o verse_n of_o the_o 26_o chapter_n that_o may_v seem_v to_o strengthen_v this_o conjecture_n when_o samuel_n come_v to_o bethlehem_n it_o be_v say_v that_o the_o elder_n of_o the_o town_n tremble_v at_o his_o come_n and_o say_v come_v thou_o peaceable_o whereupon_o the_o dutch_a annotation_n suppose_v that_o the_o bethlehemite_v hear_v that_o saul_n be_v provoke_v against_o samuel_n because_o he_o have_v pronounce_v he_o a_o man_n reject_v of_o god_n and_o therefore_o think_v that_o samuel_n have_v flee_v from_o saul_n it_o seem_v to_o appear_v also_o that_o samuel_n suspect_v he_o that_o he_o have_v no_o great_a confidence_n in_o his_o friendship_n by_o the_o second_o verse_n of_o the_o same_o chapter_n and_o indeed_o if_o we_o consider_v the_o carnal_a ambitious_a revengeful_a frame_n of_o saul_n spirit_n we_o may_v just_o conclude_v that_o it_o be_v almost_o impossible_a that_o he_o shall_v be_v any_o other_o than_o a_o enemy_n to_o samuel_n yet_o samuel_n mourn_v for_o this_o saul_n this_o enemy_n and_o so_o do_v david_n for_o they_o that_o persecute_v and_o spoil_v he_o psa_n 35._o our_o bless_a saviour_n who_o

wickedness_n the_o profaneness_n of_o beggar_n have_v more_o need_n of_o pity_n than_o their_o want_n their_o ignorance_n and_o atheism_n cry_v loud_a for_o our_o prayer_n and_o tear_n than_o their_o

then_o samuel_n go_v home_o and_o mew_v up_o himself_o in_o mourning_n samuel_n mourn_v for_o saul_n to_o this_o i_o may_v add_v also_o that_o samuel_n mourn_v for_o saul_n who_o succeed_v he_o in_o
