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

priest_n slay_v it_o be_v not_o possible_a for_o man_n to_o speak_v reason_n here_o ans_fw-fr ans_fw-fr though_o indeed_o there_o be_v some_o reason_n give_v in_o the_o text_n the_o same_o and_o as_o

have_v wrought_v such_o salvation_n for_o israel_n and_o upon_o who_o next_o to_o god_n israel_n have_v roll_v themselves_o and_o all_o their_o concernment_n yet_o this_o be_v the_o reason_n then_o and_o this_o be_v all_o the_o reason_n now_o of_o this_o horrible_a persecution_n because_o their_o hand_n be_v with_o david_n the_o worthy_n the_o faithful_a of_o the_o lord_n there_o therefore_o destroy_v the_o priest_n because_o their_o hand_n be_v with_o david_n thus_o we_o see_v man_n can_v give_v no_o reason_n only_a god_n can_v as_o aforesaid_a and_o we_o must_v note_v still_o that_o these_o be_v cut_v off_o with_o the_o sword_n of_o a_o edomite_n not_o because_o they_o be_v great_a sinner_n than_o any_o other_o priest_n be_v but_o because_o they_o be_v godly_a and_o

thereby_o for_o note_v we_o the_o great_a sinner_n be_v not_o the_o great_a sufferer_n in_o this_o life_n i_o mean_v they_o have_v not_o the_o great_a affliction_n nay_o it_o be_v most_o common_o
