which_o be_v say_v 2_o king_n 14._o 27._o that_o before_o this_o time_n god_n have_v not_o so_o threaten_v israel_n for_o the_o text_n say_v the_o lord_n say_v not_o before_o this_o time_n that_o he_o will_v blot_v out_o the_o name_n of_o israel_n from_o under_o heaven_n but_o he_o save_v they_o by_o the_o hand_n of_o jeroboam_n the_o son_n of_o joash_n mark_v there_o be_v give_v the_o reason_n why_o the_o lord_n save_v they_o by_o the_o hand_n of_o jeroboam_n because_o he_o have_v not_o yet_o say_v he_o will_v blot_v out_o the_o name_n of_o israel_n from_o under_o heaven_n that_o be_v the_o lord_n never_o before_o send_v any_o of_o his_o prophet_n thus_o plain_o and_o full_o to_o declare_v his_o intention_n to_o they_o for_o the_o utter_a blot_n out_o the_o name_n of_o israel_n upon_o their_o go_v on_o in_o their_o sin_n so_o that_o it_o be_v clear_a that_o hosea_n be_v the_o first_o that_o be_v send_v about_o this_o message_n and_o certain_o it_o be_v so_o much_o the_o hard_a he_o be_v the_o first_o of_o all_o for_o they_o may_v have_v say_v why_o do_v you_o come_v with_o these_o new_a thing_n and_o in_o so_o great_a severity_n who_o do_v ever_o so_o before_o you_o it_o be_v a_o hard_a task_n for_o we_o know_v if_o a_o minister_n come_v with_o any_o thing_n that_o seem_v to_o be_v new_a if_o he_o present_v any_o truth_n to_o you_o that_o have_v but_o a_o show_n of_o novelty_n that_o you_o hear_v not_o before_o though_o it_o be_v never_o so_o good_a and_o comfortable_a he_o shall_v find_v little_a encouragement_n nay_o if_o he_o do_v but_o come_v in_o a_o new_a way_n as_o this_o very_a exercise_n because_o it_o be_v like_a to_o go_v on_o in_o a_o way_n that_o yet_o have_v be_v disuse_v it_o will_v meet_v with_o many_o discouragement_n what_o then_o will_v the_o threaten_n of_o hard_a thing_n of_o judgement_n and_o destruction_n do_v when_o they_o come_v with_o novelty_n sure_o hosea_n have_v a_o hard_a task_n of_o this_o and_o yet_o he_o go_v on_o faithful_o with_o it_o thus_o much_o for_o the_o time_n wherein_o hosea_n prophesy_v now_o to_o make_v a_o little_a entrance_n into_o the_o pprophecy_n the_o beginning_n of_o the_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n by_o hosea_n some_o from_o these_o word_n do_v gather_v that_o hosea_n be_v the_o first_o prophet_n that_o ever_o be_v though_o it_o be_v true_a we_o can_v gather_v it_o direct_o from_o hence_o yet_o it_o be_v apparent_a that_o notwithstanding_o isaiah_n be_v set_v first_o yet_o hosea_n be_v before_o he_o for_o if_o you_o look_v into_o the_o 1_o isa_n you_o shall_v find_v that_o his_o beginning_n be_v in_o the_o day_n of_o vzziah_n now_o hosea_n be_v in_o the_o day_n of_o jeroboam_n and_o jeroboam_n be_v before_o vzziah_n and_o this_o may_v be_v one_o reason_n why_o though_o i_o intend_v the_o whole_a prophetical_a book_n yet_o i_o rather_o pitch_v upon_o hosea_n first_o because_o indeed_o he_o be_v the_o first_o prophet_n it_o be_v clear_v you_o see_v from_o the_o scripture_n though_o we_o can_v gather_v it_o from_o these_o word_n in_o this_o second_o verse_n but_o yet_o thus_o much_o we_o may_v gather_v from_o these_o word_n the_o beginning_n of_o the_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n by_o hosea_n that_o this_o be_v the_o beginning_n of_o his_o pprophecy_n and_o what_o be_v this_o beginning_n what_o do_v god_n set_v he_o about_o first_o mark_v present_o the_o next_o word_n he_o must_v take_v he_o a_o wife_n of_o whoredom_n and_o child_n of_o whoredomos_fw-la and_o so_o declare_v to_o the_o people_n of_o israel_n that_o they_o have_v commit_v great_a whoredom_n depart_v from_o the_o lord_n the_o most_o grievous_a charge_n and_o most_o severe_a and_o terrible_a expression_n of_o god_n wrath_n against_o that_o people_n that_o you_o meet_v with_o in_o all_o the_o book_n of_o god_n this_o be_v the_o work_n hosea_n must_v do_v and_o hosea_n be_v very_o young_a when_o first_o he_o go_v about_o it_o now_o as_o i_o tell_v you_o before_o god_n sometime_o call_v young_a one_o to_o great_a service_n but_o to_o call_v a_o young_a man_n to_o this_o service_n to_o go_v to_o this_o people_n with_o such_o a_o message_n now_o in_o the_o midst_n of_o all_o their_o pride_n and_o flourish_n to_o contest_v with_o they_o thus_o &_o to_o tell_v they_o that_o they_o be_v child_n of_o whoredom_n and_o no_o long_o the_o people_n of_o god_n for_o what_o for_o a_o young_a man_n to_o do_v this_o why_o they_o may_v have_v say_v if_o this_o come_v from_o the_o mouth_n of_o some_o old_a ancient_a prophet_n reverend_a for_o his_o year_n and_o experience_n it_o have_v be_v somewhat_o but_o to_o come_v from_o a_o green_a head_n for_o a_o upstart_n to_o upbray_v we_o with_o such_o vile_a thing_n thus_o man_n grow_v old_a and_o sodden_a in_o their_o sin_n obser_n be_v ready_a to_o reason_n but_o let_v we_o know_v my_o brethren_n if_o god_n send_v any_o message_n unto_o we_o though_o by_o young_a one_o he_o expect_v your_o entertainment_n of_o it_o when_o god_n will_v destroy_v elies_n house_n he_o send_v the_o message_n by_o young_a samuel_n but_o eli_n do_v not_o reason_n thus_o what_o this_o young_a boy_n come_v to_o speak_v thus_o malapart_o to_o i_o no_o he_o stoop_v to_o it_o good_a be_v the_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n say_v he_o again_o obsec_n hosea_n must_v tell_v they_o that_o they_o be_v child_n of_o whoredom_n and_o not_o the_o people_n of_o god_n what_o for_o a_o minister_n when_o he_o come_v first_o among_o a_o people_n to_o begin_v so_o harsh_o and_o severe_o and_o rugged_o be_v it_o not_o better_a to_o

fly_v off_o present_o thus_o many_o do_v reason_n now_o i_o beseech_v you_o take_v heed_n to_o your_o own_o heart_n in_o reason_v thus_o many_o have_v do_v so_o and_o have_v seek_v to_o comply_v with_o people_n so_o long_o till_o they_o have_v comply_v away_o all_o their_o faithfulness_n and_o conscience_n and_o vigour_n that_o before_o they_o have_v when_o they_o come_v to_o great_a man_n

peace_n be_v to_o this_o house_n especial_o when_o they_o come_v to_o a_o place_n that_o have_v not_o have_v the_o mean_n before_o but_o if_o it_o be_v to_o a_o people_n that_o go_v direct_o against_o
