The Answer.
To this I answer, That it is falsely alleged that David took up arms against Saul. For if we read the story of David, 1 Sam. we shall always find him flying from one Town to another; never resisting, never sighting. And when the Lord delivered Saul into his hand unawares in the Cave, in the Wilderness of En-gedi, he did not lay hands on, or do the least hurt unto Saul; nay, he acknowledged he committed •n •ffence of high presumption, and his heart smote him, because he cut off Sauls skirt; n•r would he suffer his men to rise against Saul, but dissuaded them saying The Lord forbid that I should do this thing unto my master the Lords anointed to stretch forth mine hand against him, seeing he is anointed of the Lord, chap. 24.
