What an heart-breaking was this to David Behold I was shapen in iniquity and in sin did my mother conceive or warme m● Psal 51.5 Mine iniquities are gone over my head and are a sore burden for me too heavy for me to beare Psal 38 4. Innumerable troubbles are come about me my sins have taken such hold upon me that I am not able to looke up yea they are more in number then the hairs of my head and my heart hath failed me O Lord let it be thy pleasure to deliver me make haste O Lord to help me Psal 40.15 16.

Jeremy harps upon the same string Wherefore doth the way of the wicked prosper wherefore are they happy that deal very treacherously Thou hast planted them yea they have taken root they grow yea they bring forth fruit Thou art neer in their mouthes but far from their reines But it followes Those that have so trodden downe the Lords portion and desolated the land shall reap Thornes instead of Wheat put themselves to pain without profit For they shall be asham'd of their revenues because of the fierce anger of the Lord Jer. 12. Motives to Zeal Zeal which may be good or bad Good is either 1 for Gods honour 2 house or 3 people The first was of Elias I have been very jealous for the Lord God of hosts because the children have forsaken thy Covenant thrown down thy altars and slain thy people with the sword and I even I onely am left and they seek my life to take it away 1 King 19.14 For this zeal Phineas is commended of God Phineas the son of Eliezar the son of Aaron the priest hath turned my wrath away from the children of Israel while he was zealous for my sake amongst them that I consumed not the children of Israel in my jealousy Num. 25.11 Of this zeal Jehu boasted Come with me and see my zeal for the Lord so they made him ride in his chariot 2 King 10.16 The 2d sort of zeale may be typified in David The zeale of thy house hath eaten me up and the reproaches of them that reproached thee are fallen upon me Psal 69.9 My zeale hath consumed me because mine enemies have forgotten thy words Psal 119.139 But practised by our Saviour when he found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves and the changers of money sitting He made a scourge of small cords and drove them out of the Temple and the sheep and the oxen and poured out the changers-mony and over-threw the tables and said unto them that sold doves Take these things hence and make not my Fathers house an house of merchandize And the disciples remembred that it was written The zeale of thine house hath caten me up Joh. 2.14 Much different from the zeale of our modern zealots the zeale of whom eateth up God's house 3. For zeale to Gods people The zeale of Moses and St. Paul are notoriously eminent which was seconded by that of that resolute Priest Mattathias who when he saw a Jew sacrificing to idols was inflamed with zeale and his reins trembled neither could he forbeare to shew his anger according to judgment wherefore he ran and slew him upon the altar Also the Kings commissioners who compelled men to sacrifice he killed at that time and the altar he pulled downe Thus dealt he zealously for the law of God as Phineas did to Zambri the son of Salom. 1 Maccab. 1.
