which_o place_n we_o do_v not_o only_o find_v god_n threaten_v but_o actual_o visit_v david_n adultery_n upon_o that_o child_n which_o be_v the_o offspring_n of_o it_o and_o that_o too_o notwithstanding_o the_o father_n deep_a humiliation_n and_o earnest_a supplication_n for_o his_o life_n for_o well_o may_v we_o conclude_v that_o god_n will_v not_o ordinary_o be_v want_v in_o visit_v the_o iniquity_n of_o a_o parent_n upon_o a_o child_n when_o so_o pious_a a_o man_n as_o david_n can_v not_o avert_v it_o though_o he_o seek_v it_o careful_o with_o tear_n but_o so_o that_o it_o be_v also_o with_o a_o father_n of_o a_o country_n no_o less_o than_o with_o a_o natural_a one_o the_o same_o david_n how_o eminent_a soever_o for_o his_o piety_n otherwise_o will_v afford_v we_o a_o no_o less_o convince_a proof_n the_o scripture_n give_v we_o to_o understand_v that_o for_o his_o number_n of_o the_o people_n god_n slay_v in_o one_o day_n no_o less_o than_o seventy_o thousand_o of_o they_o 2_o sam._n 24.15_o for_o though_o there_o be_v appearance_n enough_o that_o the_o subject_n of_o king_n david_n contribute_v not_o a_o little_a to_o the_o procure_n of_o this_o their_o destruction_n the_o same_o book_n of_o samuel_n inform_v we_o in_o the_o first_o verse_n of_o that_o chapter_n that_o because_o the_o anger_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v kindle_v against_o israel_n he_o permit_v satan_n to_o move_v david_n to_o do_v that_o act_n which_o procure_v it_o though_o it_o be_v also_o probable_a because_o there_o be_v no_o mention_n of_o their_o do_v it_o that_o the_o people_n of_o israel_n when_o number_v omit_v to_o give_v each_o of_o they_o half_o a_o shekel_n for_o the_o ransom_n of_o his_o soul_n the_o neglect_n whereof_o god_n have_v long_o before_o tell_v they_o he_o will_v punish_v with_o a_o plague_n exod._n 30.1_o and_o so_o on_o by_o which_o mean_v the_o destruction_n of_o that_o people_n will_v appear_v yet_o more_o particular_o to_o have_v be_v draw_v upon_o they_o by_o themselves_o yet_o inasmuch_o as_o david_n take_v the_o guilt_n of_o it_o upon_o himself_o and_o desire_n of_o god_n that_o he_o will_v rather_o turn_v his_o hand_n against_o he_o and_o his_o father_n house_n than_o against_o those_o sheep_n of_o he_o as_o he_o call_v they_o who_o have_v no_o hand_n in_o the_o procure_n the_o number_n of_o themselves_o inasmuch_o as_o the_o book_n of_o chronicle_n give_v we_o to_o understand_v that_o the_o number_n of_o the_o people_n which_o be_v david_n own_o act_n be_v the_o thing_n which_o displease_v god_n and_o for_o which_o he_o smite_v israel_n for_o the_o text_n tell_v we_o in_o express_a term_n that_o god_n be_v displease_v with_o this_o thing_n even_o with_o the_o word_n and_o command_n of_o david_n for_o the_o number_n of_o the_o people_n and_o therefore_o he_o smite_v israel_n 1_o chron._n 21.7_o it_o be_v plain_a that_o though_o the_o israelite_n be_v not_o without_o their_o guilt_n and_o such_o as_o may_v provoke_v god_n to_o the_o send_n of_o that_o pestilence_n among_o they_o yet_o the_o chief_a occasion_n of_o their_o calamity_n be_v the_o sin_n of_o david_n and_o though_o they_o be_v punish_v for_o their_o own_o sin_n only_o yet_o it_o be_v by_o his_o mean_n that_o they_o come_v to_o be_v so_o who_o may_v otherwise_o have_v be_v respite_v at_o least_o from_o it_o add_v hereunto_o god_n involve_v the_o innocent_a child_n of_o the_o sodomite_n in_o the_o same_o calamity_n with_o their_o parent_n and_o in_o fine_a all_o national_a calamity_n wherein_o experience_n show_v good_a man_n have_v no_o less_o suffer_v than_o those_o who_o be_v the_o procurer_n of_o they_o but_o because_o it_o be_v not_o only_o affirm_v that_o god_n will_v visit_v the_o iniquity_n of_o the_o father_n upon_o the_o child_n but_o that_o he_o will_v also_o visit_v it_o to_o the_o three_o and_o four_o generation_n therefore_o inquire_v we_o in_o the_o next_o place_n what_o appearance_n there_o be_v of_o god_n extend_v it_o either_o to_o the_o one_o or_o the_o other_o now_o though_o this_o be_v not_o so_o easy_a to_o be_v make_v appear_v nor_o indeed_o absolute_o necessary_a to_o be_v partly_o because_o god_n never_o so_o threaten_v to_o visit_v but_o he_o leave_v himself_o a_o liberty_n to_o suspend_v the_o execution_n of_o it_o as_o the_o repentance_n of_o the_o child_n or_o some_o other_o purpose_n of_o his_o divine_a providence_n shall_v require_v and_o partly_o because_o in_o this_o commandment_n he_o do_v rather_o insinuate_v his_o own_o likelihood_n of_o take_v that_o revenge_n than_o absolute_o assure_v they_o that_o he_o will_v yet_o that_o it_o be_v not_o without_o example_n especial_o as_o to_o the_o child_n of_o idolatrous_a parent_n the_o many_o evil_n which_o god_n lay_v upon_o the_o jew_n and_o their_o be_v carry_v captive_a into_o babylon_n may_v serve_v for_o a_o abundant_a evidence_n for_o as_o there_o be_v nothing_o more_o evident_a from_o the_o sacred_a writer_n than_o that_o idolatry_n be_v the_o chief_a cause_n of_o that_o and_o other_o their_o calamity_n so_o that_o the_o idolatry_n of_o their_o forefather_n have_v not_o a_o little_a hand_n in_o the_o procure_n of_o their_o captivity_n be_v evident_a in_o part_n from_o that_o lamentation_n of_o jeremy_n which_o be_v write_v after_o and_o upon_o occasion_n of_o it_o he_o

that_o particular_a proof_n it_o be_v that_o there_o be_v mention_v only_o of_o the_o sin_n of_o their_o father_n without_o specify_v whether_o he_o mean_v their_o immediate_a father_n or_o other_o

those_o that_o go_v before_o they_o yield_v not_o to_o they_o in_o idolatry_n it_o be_v evident_a enough_o from_o other_o place_n that_o god_n look_v far_a back_n than_o the_o immediate_o forego_v
