the_o tail_n of_o two_o smoke_a firebrand_n and_o they_o intend_v to_o enlarge_v their_o dominion_n to_o take_v in_o judah_n and_o set_v up_o a_o king_n there_o no_o say_v god_n the_o head_n of_o

of_o adam_n but_o have_v divide_v the_o earth_n to_o the_o son_n of_o adam_n according_a to_o the_o number_n of_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n the_o few_o in_o number_n of_o all_o people_n the_o meaning_n i_o conceive_v to_o be_v this_o that_o the_o lord_n do_v take_v special_a care_n in_o the_o first_o division_n of_o the_o earth_n that_o he_o will_v choose_v a_o inheritance_n in_o the_o

have_v a_o constant_a respect_n to_o his_o church_n and_o a_o continual_a care_n of_o they_o and_o he_o add_v the_o reason_n of_o it_o v._o 9_o though_o all_o the_o earth_n be_v the_o lord_n yet_o the_o lord_n portion_n be_v his_o people_n this_o be_v the_o first_o thing_n that_o be_v matter_n of_o history_n in_o the_o context_n second_o he_o than_o set_v forth_o the_o condition_n of_o this_o

stranger_n to_o god_n till_o then_o or_o that_o the_o lord_n take_v no_o notice_n of_o they_o or_o have_v no_o care_n of_o they_o for_o ever_o when_o they_o be_v in_o egypt_n exod._n 4._o then_o the_o

the_o lord_n people_n by_o a_o national_a covenant_n therefore_o it_o be_v say_v he_o find_v they_o there_o be_v indeed_o another_o meaning_n of_o that_o expression_n find_v that_o be_v he_o be_v always_o present_a with_o they_o as_o a_o help_n always_o find_v of_o they_o so_o you_o find_v the_o word_n use_v psal_n 46.1_o god_n be_v a_o present_a help_n he_o be_v a_o help_n find_v in_o the_o

without_o divination_n will_v be_v able_a to_o give_v a_o great_a guess_n of_o man_n what_o they_o will_v be_v moses_n may_v much_o guess_v by_o see_v how_o disobedient_a they_o have_v be_v in_o the_o

of_o this_o people_n will_v be_v the_o lord_n do_v not_o only_o certain_o know_v what_o we_o be_v but_o he_o know_v what_o in_o such_o case_n and_o condition_n we_o will_v be_v nay_o the_o lord_n

the_o man_n say_v he_o give_v i_o up_o to_o saul_n they_o will_v give_v thou_o up_o and_o yet_o david_n go_v out_o of_o the_o city_n that_o night_n and_o be_v never_o give_v up_o and_o according_a to_o this_o we_o may_v guess_v if_o we_o consider_v there_o be_v many_o of_o we_o some_o will_v have_v wealth_n some_o honour_n some_o will_v have_v high_a employment_n some_o more_o grace_n some_o more_o comfort_n some_o more_o assurance_n and_o the_o lord_n deny_v it_o it_o be_v because_o he_o know_v what_o in_o such_o a_o condition_n if_o thou_o be_v put_v into_o it_o thou_o will_v prove_v and_o that_o which_o thou_o look_v upon_o as_o a_o great_a affliction_n the_o lord_n do_v it_o with_o a_o very_a merciful_a hand_n but_o jesurun_n wax_v fat_a and_o kick_v there_o be_v two_o thing_n
