the_o lord_n set_v thy_o house_n in_o order_n thus_o they_o be_v read_v in_o our_o last_o translation_n and_o in_o some_o former_a translation_n and_o in_o the_o margin_n here_o and_o elsewhere_o it_o be_v note_v that_o the_o hebrew_n phrase_n be_v give_v charge_n concern_v thy_o house_n this_o come_v all_o to_o one_o reckon_v for_o when_o god_n say_v gen._n 18._o 19_o that_o abraham_n will_v

but_o consider_v that_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o when_o the_o patriarch_n make_v their_o last_o will_n they_o do_v not_o only_o dispose_v of_o their_o good_n but_o also_o give_v charge_n concern_v the_o well_o order_v of_o their_o house_n after_o they_o this_o need_v not_o interrupt_v we_o for_o my_o part_n at_o this_o time_n i_o will_v follow_v the_o general_a meaning_n of_o the_o word_n as_o

1._o because_o else_o the_o commonwealth_n can_v be_v well_o order_v for_o the_o commonwealth_n consist_v of_o several_a house_n and_o if_o the_o several_a house_n which_o be_v so_o many_o member_n be_v not_o well_o rule_v how_o can_v the_o whole_a body_n be_v well_o order_v the_o body_n of_o a_o commonwealth_n may_v not_o unfit_o be_v compare_v to_o the_o body_n of_o a_o great_a army_n now_o concern_v a_o army_n it_o consist_v of_o many_o regiment_n and_o every_o regiment_n of_o sundry_a company_n which_o have_v their_o several_a captain_n to_o train_v they_o and_o teach_v they_o due_a order_n and_o ●f_o these_o private_a captain_n do_v not_o teach_v their_o several_a band_n due_a order_n it_o be_v not_o possible_a on_o a_o sudden_a to_o cast_v the_o whole_a army_n into_o a_o great_a orderly_a body_n even_o so_o in_o the_o commonwealth_n if_o every_o master_n of_o a_o family_n who_o be_v as_o it_o be_v a_o captain_n of_o a_o company_n of_o soldier_n in_o the_o church_n militant_a do_v not_o well_o order_v the_o several_a person_n commit_v to_o his_o charge_n how_o can_v they_o observe_v order_n when_o they_o be_v call_v out_o to_o serve_v public_o in_o the_o church_n or_o commonwealth_n a_o few_o band_n in_o a_o army_n disrank_v may_v trouble_v nay_o confound_v the_o whole_a army_n even_o so_o a_o few_o disorderly_a family_n may_v bring_v much_o hurt_v upon_o the_o whole_a commonwealth_n wherefore_o as_o we_o tender_v the_o good_a of_o the_o whole_a land_n let_v we_o every_o one_o in_o his_o place_n be_v careful_a to_o order_v those_o that_o be_v commit_v to_o our_o charge_n in_o our_o particular_a family_n again_o the_o necessity_n of_o set_v in_o order_n our_o several_a family_n will_v appear_v if_o we_o observe_v how_o diligent_a the_o man_n of_o god_n i_o mean_v the_o patriarch_n prophet_n and_o apostle_n yea_o and_o the_o king_n of_o israel_n and_o judah_n have_v be_v to_o set_v in_o order_n their_o own_o house_n concern_v

piece_n of_o service_n perform_v unto_o the_o lord_n may_v appear_v because_o god_n allege_v this_o as_o one_o reason_n why_o he_o reveal_v the_o destruction_n of_o sodom_n unto_o abraham_n and_o a_o
