A57599	Loyalty and peace, or, Two seasonable discourses from I Sam. 24, 5 viz., David's heart smote him because he cut off Saul's skirt : the first of conscience and its smitings, the second of the prodigious impiety of murthering King Charles I, intended to promote sincere devotion and humiliation upon each anniversary fast for the Late King's death / by Samuel Rolls.

doubtless_o so_o good_a and_o know_a man_n as_o these_o will_v never_o have_v do_v if_o it_o have_v not_o belong_v to_o they_o so_o then_o there_o can_v be_v no_o fault_n in_o magistrate_n assume_v

say_v will_v the_o occasion_n bear_v a_o fast_a viz._n the_o death_n of_o the_o king_n so_o many_o year_n ago_o to_o which_o i_o answer_v why_o not_o sure_o it_o will_n great_a judgement_n either_o

which_o be_v upon_o our_o head_n as_o to_o war_n or_o other_o calamity_n which_o do_v but_o hang_v or_o hover_v over_o our_o head_n now_o whereas_o some_o may_v think_v that_o though_o such_o a_o
