of_o the_o word_n as_o here_o in_o this_o psalm_n here_o be_v many_o thing_n easy_a to_o be_v understand_v they_o be_v clear_a to_o every_o eye_n as_o when_o david_n do_v exhort_v king_n and_o prince_n old_a man_n and_o babe_n to_o praise_v god_n this_o be_v easy_a to_o be_v do_v and_o we_o know_v the_o meaning_n as_o soon_o as_o we_o look_v on_o it_o but_o here_o be_v some_o thing_n again_o that_o be_v hard_a and_o obscure_a and_o they_o be_v two_o first_o in_o that_o david_n do_v exhort_v dumb_a unreasonable_a and_o senseless_a creature_n to_o praise_n god_n such_o as_o can_v hear_v at_o lest_o can_v understand_v do_v the_o holy_a chost_n in_o the_o gospel_n bid_v we_o avoid_v impertinent_a speech_n 7._o and_o vain_a repetition_n and_o shall_v we_o think_v he_o will_v use_v they_o himself_o no_o no._n but_o second_o not_o only_o do_v he_o call_v upon_o these_o creature_n but_o also_o he_o call_v upon_o the_o deep_n and_o the_o sea_n to_o praise_n god_n these_o two_o thing_n be_v hard_a to_o be_v conceive_v but_o to_o give_v you_o some_o reason_n 1_o the_o first_o reason_n may_v be_v this_o why_o david_n call_v upon_o the_o unreasonable_a creature_n to_o perform_v this_o duty_n he_o do_v his_o duty_n like_o a_o faithful_a preacher_n whether_o they_o will_v hear_v or_o no_o that_o he_o preach_v to_o yet_o he_o will_v discharge_v his_o own_o soul_n a_o true_a preacher_n he_o speak_v the_o truth_n and_o call_v upon_o they_o to_o hear_v though_o his_o auditor_n sleep_v and_o regard_v it_o not_o so_o likewise_o do_v david_n in_o this_o sense_n with_o these_o creature_n he_o do_v his_o duty_n and_o call_v upon_o they_o to_o do_v it_o though_o they_o understand_v not_o though_o they_o comprehend_v it_o not_o the_o second_o reason_n may_v be_v this_o 2._o he_o do_v it_o crafty_o by_o way_n of_o pollcy_n to_o incite_v other_o to_o perform_v this_o duty_n that_o if_o such_o creature_n as_o they_o ought_v to_o do_v this_o then_o those_o that_o be_v above_o they_o in_o degree_n they_o have_v more_o cause_n and_o may_v be_v ashamed_a to_o neglect_v it_o as_o a_o ill-governed_n master_n though_o he_o â—tay_v himself_o at_o home_n yet_o he_o will_v send_v his_o servant_n to_o church_n so_o david_n be_v conscious_a of_o his_o own_o neglect_n yet_o he_o call_v upon_o other_o not_o to_o be_v slack_a and_o negligent_a though_o he_o come_v infinite_o short_a of_o that_o he_o shall_v do_v yet_o he_o show_v his_o own_o desire_n to_o perform_v this_o duty_n but_o if_o these_o reason_n will_v not_o satisfy_v you_o though_o they_o have_v do_v other_o 3_o a_o three_o reason_n may_v be_v this_o to_o set_v forth_o the_o sweet_a harmony_n that_o be_v among_o all_o god_n creature_n to_o show_v how_o that_o all_o the_o creature_n be_v god_n family_n do_v with_o one_o consent_n speak_v and_o preach_v aloud_o god_n praise_n and_o therefore_o he_o call_v upon_o some_o above_o he_o some_o below_o he_o on_o both_o side_n he_o every_o where_o to_o speak_v god_n praise_n for_o every_o one_o in_o their_o place_n degree_n and_o call_v show_v forth_o though_o in_o a_o dumb_a sense_n and_o way_n their_o creator_n praise_n or_o four_o and_o last_o 4._o which_o i_o think_v to_o be_v a_o good_a reason_n zeal_n make_v man_n speak_v and_o urter_n thing_n impossible_a the_o fire_n of_o zeal_n it_o will_v so_o transport_v he_o that_o it_o will_v make_v he_o speak_v thing_n unreasonable_a impossible_a as_o moses_n in_o his_o zeal_n desire_v god_n for_o the_o safety_n of_o israel_n to_o blot_v his_o name_n out_o of_o his_o book_n and_o paul_n wish_v himself_o anathema_n maranatha_n accurse_a or_o separate_v from_o christ_n 3._o for_o his_o brother_n salvation_n which_o be_v a_o thing_n impossible_a it_o can_v not_o be_v but_o i_o think_v david_n do_v not_o intend_v this_o here_o for_o he_o call_v for_o nothing_o but_o that_o which_o be_v do_v and_o therefore_o possible_a for_o no_o creature_n can_v turn_v out_o of_o the_o way_n of_o his_o praise_n for_o he_o be_v not_o only_o glorify_v in_o their_o grace_n but_o even_o also_o as_o much_o in_o their_o sin_n and_o rebellion_n against_o he_o though_o man_n shall_v spit_v their_o malice_n and_o their_o blasphemy_n in_o the_o very_a face_n of_o god_n their_o maker_n yet_o they_o hurt_v not_o he_o they_o can_v touch_v he_o nor_o his_o sacred_a glory_n his_o praise_n shall_v as_o
