that_o manasseh_n have_v provoke_v he_o withal_o and_o the_o event_n be_v answerable_a to_o this_o terrible_a denunciation_n when_o their_o land_n be_v lay_v utter_o desolate_a their_o city_n and_o temple_n whole_o destroy_v the_o great_a part_n of_o their_o people_n cruel_o slay_v and_o the_o rest_n carry_v into_o a_o miserable_a captivity_n and_o keep_v there_o for_o a_o long_a and_o tedious_a 70_o year_n so_o that_o hence_o you_o may_v observe_v 2d_o doct._n that_o a_o external_a reformation_n begin_v in_o the_o chief_a city_n and_o carry_v on_o with_o great_a success_n through_o the_o kingdom_n be_v the_o necessary_a mean_n to_o prevent_v and_o may_v sometime_o effectual_o delay_v but_o it_o be_v not_o always_o sufficient_a whole_o to_o avert_v the_o execution_n of_o impend_a judgement_n from_o a_o sinful_a nation_n in_o this_o doctrine_n be_v only_o these_o two_o part_n that_o i_o will_v take_v notice_n of_o 1._o that_o such_o a_o reformation_n be_v the_o necessary_a mean_n to_o divert_v impend_v judgement_n and_o may_v effectual_o delay_v the_o execution_n of_o they_o for_o sometime_o this_o the_o tender_a heart_a josiah_n and_o zealous_a inhabitant_n of_o jerusalem_n be_v very_o sensible_a of_o and_o also_o successful_a by_o their_o bless_a endeavour_n to_o deliver_v themselves_o and_o the_o nation_n from_o the_o destructive_a misery_n they_o have_v deserve_v during_o his_o good_a reign_n and_o four_o bad_a king_n that_o succeed_v he_o in_o which_o time_n the_o lord_n wait_v to_o be_v gracious_a to_o they_o reward_v their_o present_a attempt_n and_o make_v a_o further_a trial_n of_o their_o sincerity_n and_o constancy_n in_o this_o reformation_n 6._o rom._n 2.4_o 5_o 6._o but_o because_o they_o despise_v the_o riches_n of_o his_o goodness_n and_o forbearance_n and_o long_o sufier_v that_o shall_v have_v lead_v they_o to_o repentance_n after_o their_o hardness_n and_o impenitent_a heart_n they_o treasure_v up_o unto_o themselves_o wrath_n against_o the_o day_n of_o wrath_n and_o revelation_n of_o the_o righteous_a judgement_n of_o god_n who_o render_v to_o they_o at_o last_o according_a to_o their_o deed_n therefore_o 2._o such_o a_o external_a reformation_n be_v not_o always_o sufficient_a to_o deliver_v a_o sinful_a nation_n from_o the_o calamity_n which_o they_o have_v long_o provoke_v a_o jealous_a god_n to_o threaten_v against_o they_o for_o there_o may_v be_v such_o defect_n in_o a_o reformation_n of_o this_o nature_n that_o will_v render_v it_o altogether_o ineffectual_a to_o procure_v their_o pardon_n and_o freedom_n from_o his_o righteous_a judgement_n so_o that_o i_o will_v next_o inquire_v what_o be_v the_o fatal_a defect_n of_o this_o great_a reformation_n and_o the_o cause_n of_o their_o consequent_a misery_n notwithstanding_o all_o that_o be_v do_v to_o escape_v they_o and_o will_v only_o mention_v these_o two_o 1._o they_o turn_v not_o to_o the_o lord_n with_o their_o whole_a heart_n 10._o jer._n 3.6_o 10._o but_o feign_o as_o they_o be_v reprove_v by_o jeremiah_n when_o he_o prophesy_v in_o the_o day_n of_o josiah_n the_o king_n and_o there_o appear_v too_o much_o evidence_n for_o such_o a_o charge_n in_o the_o history_n of_o his_o reformation_n 23.25_o 2_o king_n 23.25_o for_o though_o the_o upright_a josiah_n turn_v to_o the_o lord_n with_o all_o his_o heart_n and_o with_o all_o his_o soul_n and_o with_o all_o his_o may_v yet_o the_o generality_n of_o the_o people_n have_v no_o heart_n to_o the_o work_n but_o be_v force_v to_o it_o and_o go_v no_o far_o than_o the_o beast_n 33._o 2_o chron._n 34.32_o 33._o for_o it_o be_v say_v that_o he_o cause_v they_o to_o stand_v to_o the_o covenant_n and_o make_v they_o to_o serve_v even_o to_o serve_v the_o lord_n 〈◊〉_d 2_o king_n 23.3_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d which_o they_o have_v no_o mind_n to_o do_v if_o they_o have_v not_o be_v compel_v to_o it_o for_o what_o be_v say_v 2_o king_n 23.3_o that_o they_o do_v it_o with_o all_o their_o heart_n and_o all_o their_o soul_n seem_v to_o be_v a_o defect_n in_o our_o translation_n for_o there_o be_v no_o such_o relative_n particle_n in_o the_o original_a 〈◊〉_d 2_o chr._n 34.31_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d and_o the_o grammatical_a construction_n necessary_o refer_v it_o to_o the_o king_n alone_o for_o he_o be_v the_o only_a person_n speak_v of_o in_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o sentence_n and_o so_o it_o be_v apply_v to_o he_o only_o in_o v._o 31_o of_o this_o chapter_n where_o the_o affix_v be_v use_v in_o the_o singular_a number_n and_o thus_o translate_v that_o the_o king_n stand_v in_o his_o place_n and_o make_v a_o covenant_n before_o the_o lord_n to_o walk_v after_o the_o lord_n to_o keep_v his_o commandment_n testimony_n and_o statute_n with_o all_o his_o heart_n and_o with_o all_o his_o soul_n but_o the_o people_n be_v not_o sincere_a and_o no_o such_o commendation_n be_v give_v of_o they_o for_o they_o still_o love_v their_o former_a sin_n though_o they_o leave_v they_o for_o a_o while_n and_o therefore_o quick_o turn_v to_o they_o again_o when_o the_o restraint_n be_v take_v off_o in_o the_o succeed_a reign_n and_o a_o jealous_a god_n who_o judge_n according_a to_o the_o affection_n of_o man_n heart_n will_v not_o be_v impose_v upon_o by_o their_o outward_a temporary_a profession_n but_o do_v charge_v their_o sin_n upon_o they_o still_o continues_z his_o threaten_n against_o they_o and_o at_o last_o execute_v upon_o they_o all_o the_o judgement_n they_o deserve_v 2._o they_o make_v no_o public_a confession_n of_o their_o gross_a and_o multiply_v sin_n nor_o give_v any_o sign_n of_o a_o national_a repentance_n for_o they_o which_o the_o prophet_n do_v plain_o insinuate_v to_o be_v their_o dangerous_a neglect_n when_o he_o exhort_v they_o jer._n 3.13_o only_o acknowledge_v thy_o iniquity_n that_o thou_o have_v transgress_v against_o the_o lord_n thy_o god_n and_o have_v scatter_v thy_o way_n and_o you_o have_v not_o obey_v my_o voice_n say_v the_o lord_n they_o comply_v with_o the_o command_n of_o the_o king_n to_o reform_v but_o neglect_v the_o call_n of_o god_n by_o his_o prophet_n to_o repent_v and_o this_o be_v also_o observable_a in_o the_o account_n we_o have_v of_o their_o reformation_n that_o though_o the_o tender-hearted_a josiah_n rend_v his_o clothes_n and_o humble_v himself_o with_o tear_n before_o the_o lord_n yet_o we_o do_v not_o read_v of_o any_o one_o more_o that_o do_v so_o and_o though_o the_o inhabitant_n of_o jerusalem_n acquit_v themselves_o like_o man_n 34.27_o 2_o chr._n 34.27_o and_o be_v active_a to_o reform_v themselves_o and_o other_o yet_o most_o of_o they_o come_v short_a of_o be_v penitent_a saint_n and_o pardon_v sinner_n they_o be_v prevail_v with_o to_o forsake_v their_o sin_n but_o not_o to_o expose_v they_o by_o a_o open_a acknowledgement_n of_o their_o iniquity_n be_v over_o tender_a it_o may_v be_v of_o their_o own_o and_o the_o reputation_n of_o the_o former_a wicked_a reign_n they_o be_v willing_a to_o be_v reform_v without_o any_o public_a humiliation_n or_o expression_n of_o their_o grief_n and_o shame_n for_o their_o many_o aggravate_v transgression_n we_o find_v afterward_o in_o more_o successful_a reformation_n by_o ezra_n and_o nehemiah_n 3._o ezra_n 10.1_o 3._o neh._n 9.1_o 3._o that_o all_o the_o people_n join_v with_o they_o in_o their_o public_a confession_n and_o penitential_a sorrow_n for_o their_o sin_n and_o this_o the_o prophet_n jeremiah_n suggest_v to_o they_o as_o most_o necessary_a to_o justify_v god_n in_o his_o treatning_n 51.4_o so_o david_n think_v ps_n 51.4_o and_o the_o only_a effectual_a mean_n to_o turn_v away_o his_o wrath_n from_o they_o and_o procure_v his_o favour_n the_o gild_n of_o sin_n or_o its_o actual_a obligation_n to_o punishment_n do_v always_o remain_v till_o it_o be_v remove_v by_o a_o repentance_n suitable_a to_o the_o nature_n of_o it_o so_o that_o private_a repentance_n may_v be_v sufficient_a for_o the_o pardon_n of_o secret_a sin_n but_o national_a provocation_n require_v some_o public_a act_n of_o repentance_n to_o vindicate_v the_o glory_n of_o god_n and_o prevent_v the_o execution_n of_o national_a judgement_n and_o therefore_o because_o they_o do_v not_o glorify_v god_n by_o a_o public_a confession_n of_o their_o iniquity_n he_o glorify_v himself_o upon_o they_o by_o their_o general_n destruction_n these_o be_v the_o two_o fatal_a defect_n in_o josiah_n reformation_n that_o though_o it_o be_v successful_a to_o delay_v yet_o these_o make_v it_o ineffectual_a to_o deliver_v they_o whole_o from_o the_o just_a execution_n of_o divine_a vengeance_n and_o now_o what_o remain_v but_o to_o make_v
