because_o he_o be_v injure_v or_o affront_v by_o his_o enemy_n as_o i_o have_v already_o show_v it_o be_v a_o rash_a and_o wicked_a speech_n of_o jehoram_n the_o son_n of_o ahab_n when_o samaria_n

or_o cause_v the_o famine_n no_o it_o be_v his_o own_o idolatry_n and_o wickedness_n that_o bring_v those_o judgement_n upon_o he_o and_o yet_o he_o swear_v he_o will_v revenge_v himself_o on_o the_o

will_v take_v off_o his_o head_n because_o he_o have_v slay_v the_o prophet_n of_o baal_n when_o he_o be_v only_o a_o instrument_n in_o god_n hand_n and_o only_o say_v and_o do_v what_o he_o be_v command_v which_o they_o may_v have_v know_v and_o understand_v if_o they_o will_v and_o probable_o they_o do_v but_o god_n be_v too_o high_a and_o out_o of_o the_o reach_n of_o their_o malice_n and_o spite_n and_o therefore_o they_o will_v wreck_v their_o revenge_n upon_o his_o prophet_n when_o corah_n and_o his_o brethren_n the_o son_n of_o levi_n be_v full_a of_o spite_n and_o envy_n for_o that_o aaron_n and_o his_o son_n engross_v the_o priest_n office_n and_o make_v they_o their_o underling_n who_o think_v themselves_o as_o worthy_a of_o the_o priesthood_n as_o they_o moses_n thus_o reason_v the_o case_n with_o they_o numb_a 16.9_o seem_v it_o a_o small_a thing_n unto_o you_o that_o the_o lord_n god_n of_o israel_n have_v separate_v you_o from_o the_o congregation_n of_o israel_n to_o bring_v you_o near_o to_o himself_o to_o do_v the_o service_n of_o the_o tabernacle_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o to_o stand_v before_o the_o congregation_n to_o minister_v unto_o they_o and_o he_o have_v bring_v thou_o near_o unto_o he_o and_o all_o thy_o brethren_n the_o son_n of_o levi_n with_o thou_o and_o seek_v you_o the_o priesthood_n also_o for_o which_o cause_n both_o thou_o and_o all_o thy_o company_n be_v gather_v together_o against_o the_o lord_n and_o what_o be_v aaron_n that_o you_o murmur_v against_o he_o but_o this_o they_o will_v not_o understand_v that_o it_o be_v by_o god_n

pretend_v that_o it_o be_v aaron_n own_o pride_n and_o ambition_n that_o cause_v he_o to_o lift_v up_o himself_o above_o the_o people_n of_o the_o lord_n who_o be_v as_o holy_a as_o he_o they_o will_v not_o own_o that_o their_o quarrel_n be_v against_o god_n but_o against_o aaron_n but_o now_o swearer_n be_v more_o bold_a and_o impudent_a in_o their_o sin_n than_o these_o who_o ever_o affront_v injure_v or_o abuse_v they_o yea_o whoever_o do_v or_o speak_v any_o thing_n that_o be_v displease_v to_o they_o they_o no_o soon_o fall_v into_o a_o passion_n but_o god_n be_v make_v the_o object_n of_o their_o fury_n as_o if_o he_o be_v the_o person_n that_o injure_v they_o but_o be_v not_o deceive_v god_n be_v not_o mock_v let_v not_o man_n make_v anger_n or_o provocation_n a_o excuse_n for_o swear_v but_o let_v he_o take_v heed_n lest_o he_o provoke_v god_n to_o swear_v too_o i._n e._n to_o swear_v in_o his_o wrath_n as_o he_o once_o do_v concern_v the_o israelite_n in_o the_o day_n of_o
