said of Ierusalem,* 1.1 Many excel∣lent things are spoken of thee, O thou Citie of God: euen so, many excellent things are spoken of Dauid. Saul being reiected of God for his sinnes, Dauid was annoynted King in his roome, by the same Prophet Samuel:* 1.2 and the Spirit of the Lord came vpon him: insomuch that though he were but a little simple man, yet hée slew Goliah that defied Israell, hée slew many of the most mighty Philistines,* 1.3 who were enemies to Saul and his people. When Saul was dead hée succéeded in the Kingdome, according to the Lords or∣dinance, and valiantly subdued mighty kings that made warre against him. Dauid renued reli∣gion & offered to build an house for the Arke of God. Dauid sin∣ned grieuously in Gods sight, therefore the Lord punished him excéedingly many wayes, and af∣terward vpon repentance he re∣ceiued him into speciall fauour.

Par.
Dauid being annointed king, and being so valiant in the warres, hauing also the fauour of the people, why did hee runne away and hide himselfe from Saul, and why did he not withstand him?
Past.
Dauid hauing Gods Spi∣rit, knew very well that hée might not resist nor rebel against Saul the Lords annoynted: and though hée were to succéede him in the kingdome, yet hée knew that he was not to enioy it before him, nor to be partner with him: and to auoid the rebellion and disorder of the people, the Lord commanded Samuel to annoynt him King secretly, lest the people should offer him helpe, and rebel∣lion against Saul. And farther, so godly and vpright in heart hée was towards the King, that when hée most iniuriously and fiercely sought to kill him in all lands, yet hée would neuer carry a thought to vse bloudy hands against his King, though many times he might haue done it. Hée

was so farre from causing any other to doe it,* 1.4 as that hée slew those that brought him word that Saul was dead.
