A84000	Englands second alarm to vvar, against the Beast. Saul, with his Edomite has shed blood to his power; he smites Israels city, and destroyes his owne house; overcame his people once, and overthrew himselfe for ever! It relates to what is done now. Grave questions touching the Edomite; his admission to court, and into office there; how it relates to papists now. He has a commission to destroy a city of priests, which he does with an utter destruction. Excellent reasons why the Lord suffered such a destruction to be executed upon Israel then; and why he suffers the same now; and why by an Edomites hand then and now.		1643 (1643)	Wing E3047; Thomason E59_19; ESTC R23537	31,766	33

mad with rage Thou and all thy fathers house 1 Sam. 2.23 True it is it was the burden of the Lord upon Elies house and cause there was just enough why God should doe to that house as he threatned Yea and just cause too though not so cleare to dim eyes Wherefore Nob should be so smitten men women and children there We have concluded The cause is just for God is righteous And yet no cause not the least title of reason why Saul should doe it why he should seale a Commission to an Edomite to doe such an horrible execution Saul I say the great Eiductary of the kingdom intrusted with the lives of all the Priests people there no reason why Saul should so say and so do being as aforesaid but all the reason in the world why he should stop his eare from hearing of bloud much more his hand from shedding the same But Saul will do as he said Thou shalt surely dye Abimelech thou and all thy fathers house See! Saul will be chief and fore-man in this bloudy worke to make the City of Priests an Acheldama that it may be called no more Nob but a Field of bloud or HORMAH Num. 21.3 utter destruction Saul is the chiefe Actor here for he commands his servants first Turne ye and slay the Priests his servants would not Saul will have it done then he turned to Doeg a Right-man and said as much to him no sooner said but it was done And Doeg the Edomite turned fell upon the Priests and slew Marke it for though here is a miserable destruction bodies and garments too rolled in bloud yet here is comfort to every true Israelite What is that To see a City lye in ashes Priests and people wallowing in blood is there comfort in this No and yet God will bring comfort and good out of all this to his Israel anon Now this is the comfort that there are but two Actors in this Tragedy Saul and his Edomite only these specified by name True it is we shall reade anon in the third Section of Three thousand chosen men out of Israel whom Saul called together to guard his person he said being affraid of David as the Bird of Prey is of the Partridge But nothing they did not a drop of blood shed by them These only are the Active Men these two skilfull to destroy Saul and his Edomite Thanke God for this Wickednesse proceeds from the wicked man Israel can wash their hands in the innocency of their hearts and say They are free touching this matter for which will be more cleare anon Israel cannot charge any more then two amongst those three thousand their King and his Edomite More were guilty of that bloodshed that is certaine for the Edomite was not singular but plurall as will appeare by and by but no more could Israel charge with the bloodshed that their hands had shed it but Saul and his Edomite only And the charge lay heavy upon Saul like as a heavy burthen unsupportable as a Milstone pressing him downe upon his owne sword and then Lower He had shed blood to his power and blood pursued him till it had made a more cleane riddance of him and his house then he made at Nob for there one Priest escaped his butchers knife here not one shall escape This we may reade in a Book I have seen called the Kings Chronicle And so God reckoned with Saul to the last drop 1. Sect. p. 26.27 which he hath shed for God has barrelled-up the spilt Blood of the Righteous as he bottles-up their Teares CHAP. 3. The Priests Arraignment impleadings and Answers run-up paerallell with ours in these times so does the upshot or determination of the businesse for there was Peace in proposition but none in conclusion betwixt Saul and David So here Saul has shed blood which runs-up to these times too but with a fuller stream of bloods yet the voice of Blood cryes louder then does the voice of Bloods SO now Saul has done execution and God has dealt with Saul according as He threatens When we thinke thereon we have cause to say and feel the vertue of what we say My heart trembleth because of Thee and I feare for thy judgements Before I will relate to these Times I will tell one thing very briefly which shall relate to the present and parallel it selfe Here has beene a faire and peaceable parley betwixt Saul and Abimelech touching David He impleaded Abimelech and gives him leave to make answer which the Priest has done as we heard the clearest and fullest that ever was heard Was there not a sweet agreement betwixt them No it was never intended Proposition it as we say Tender propositions of Peace betwixt Saul and David while the Evill spirit is upon Saul and the Edomite in Sauls Bosom It is to no purpose vanity of vanitie's the greatest vanity To wish or thinke of an Accommodation betwixt Saul and David rebus sic stantibus that must be remembred the Evill spirit in his place and the Edomite in his and Saul quite out of himselfe for so it was then No you will say Let the Priest call-back David take from him the Sword he should have had an hard pull of it then give it unto Saul and the matter is ended No As sure as the Sunne did shine then and does shine now so sure it is That this would not have contented Saul but this would have wonderously contented him If the Priest would have called back David demanded the Sword and being given into his hand have sheathed it into Davids Bowels or have given it Saul that he might doe that horrid execution with his owne hands Then the Priest had been a Right-man for Sauls service Then here had beene Peace betwixt Saul and the Priest such as would have pleased all three The Divel Saul and the Edomite too Then Saul would have blessed the Priest in The Name of the Lord saying Thou hast compassion on me Doe I speake without the Book No it is every word sacred Truth you shall heare more of it in a fitter place We must see now how the lines of this Accusation put up by Saul against Abimelech run parallel with the Kings accusation suggested to him by his vile Councellours against his faithfull Servants at this day The King pleads Law for what he does so did Saul too for he chargeth this heavily upon Abimelech That he enquired of the Lord for David gave Bread to Davids mouth and the sword into his hand All this was against the knowne lawes of the Land as Saul seemes to conceive These are the Kings charges too I will speake thereof in order The first Charge is 1. That Abimelech enquired of The LORD So should Saul have done then and so should the King have done now not hearkning to vile Councellours whose graves The LORD has made for they are vile a Nahum 2.44 hee must not advise with them rather let them
