we_o follow_v the_o commun_n interpretation_n it_o appear_v that_o the_o same_o fact_n be_v ascribe_v to_o god_n and_o satan_n and_o therefore_o it_o must_v be_v on_o a_o different_a account_n and_o

at_o this_o time_n when_o god_n be_v angry_a with_o israel_n there_o be_v a_o special_a providence_n of_o god_n even_o in_o the_o ebullition_n of_o lust_n in_o the_o heart_n of_o his_o own_o people_n thus_o also_o in_o the_o wicked_a who_o put_v that_o thought_n of_o murder_n consider_v material_o into_o the_o heart_n of_o esau_n when_o my_o father_n be_v dead_a i_o will_v slay_v my_o brother_n

i._n e._n as_o consider_v in_o its_o physic_n entitative_a act_n and_o according_a to_o its_o substrate_a mater_fw-la sinful_a for_o certain_o if_o david_n number_v the_o people_n which_o be_v a_o

no_o other_o sin_n consider_v in_o its_o mere_a entitative_a and_o physic_n act_n be_v such_o yea_o i_o as_o yet_o see_v no_o reason_n why_o this_o sin_n of_o david_n consider_v in_o its_o individual_a circumstance_n and_o moral_a relation_n to_o its_o object_n and_o principes_fw-la may_v not_o be_v estimed_a a_o sin_n intrinsical_o evil_a as_o well_o as_o shimei_n curse_v david_n but_o 4_o strangius_n summary_n conclusion_n that_o god_n concourse_n to_o david_n sin_n be_v only_o a_o idle_a permission_n laxation_n of_o the_o reins_o to_o satan_n and_o oblation_n of_o occasion_n with_o suspension_n of_o divine_a grace_n be_v very_a contradictory_n both_o to_o the_o letter_n and_o mind_n of_o the_o text_n which_o say_v positive_o that_o god_n move_v or_o excite_v and_o stir_v up_o the_o mind_n of_o david_n not_o moral_o but_o physic_o to_o the_o entitative_a act_n of_o number_v the_o people_n certain_o when_o the_o scripture_n speak_v so_o categoric_o and_o positive_o of_o god_n move_v the_o will_n to_o its_o act_n to_o restrain_v such_o move_a influence_n and_o causalitie_n only_o to_o mere_a idle_a permission_n or_o objective_a oblation_n of_o occasion_n or_o negative_a suspension_n of_o divine_a grace_n what_o be_v this_o but_o to_o make_v the_o scripture_n contradictory_n to_o itself_o or_o affirmation_n and_o negation_n applicable_a to_o the_o same_o word_n how_o easy_o may_v a_o atheist_n hence_o take_v advantage_n to_o elude_v all_o scripture_n but_o to_o pass_v on_o to_o other_o text_n that_o clear_o express_v god_n immediate_a

yet_o the_o justice_n of_o god_n sufficient_o shine_v forth_o in_o the_o whole_a of_o this_o administration_n because_o god_n use_v both_o the_o king_n and_o people_n in_o this_o work_n only_o as_o instrument_n to_o execute_v his_o just_a judgement_n etc._n etc._n to_o give_v a_o brief_a reply_n hereto_o it_o be_v very_o evident_a that_o all_o that_o answer_n strangius_n have_v give_v we_o in_o answer_n to_o these_o text_n do_v but_o more_o confirm_v we_o in_o the_o true_a sense_n we_o give_v of_o they_o for_o 1_o it_o be_v manifest_a that_o jeroboam_n and_o jehu_n with_o the_o revolter_n their_o adherent_n sin_v not_o only_o in_o the_o mode_n or_o manner_n but_o in_o the_o very_a substance_n of_o their_o act_n for_o be_v not_o high_a treason_n against_o a_o lawful_a king_n a_o act_n

jehu_n have_v private_a prophetic_a instruction_n and_o unction_n but_o yet_o those_o give_v they_o no_o real_a title_n before_o the_o people_n but_o only_o secret_a intimation_n what_o god_n will_v in_o his_o providence_n bring_v to_o pass_v david_n have_v a_o promise_n of_o the_o kingdom_n and_o also_o divine_a unction_n and_o yet_o he_o confess_v that_o god_n give_v he_o no_o actual_a title_n to_o the_o kingdom_n in_o the_o eye_n of_o man_n but_o he_o still_o own_v saul_n as_o his_o sovereign_n king_n and_o the_o lord_n anoint_v and_o so_o ought_v jeroboam_n and_o jehu_n their_o lawful_a soverain_n till_o god_n have_v give_v they_o a_o legal_a title_n before_o man_n 2_o but_o suppose_v jeroboam_n and_o jehu_n sin_n be_v only_o in_o the_o manner_n not_o in_o the_o substance_n of_o

evil_a 3_o yea_o further_o grant_v that_o they_o all_o sin_v but_o in_o the_o mode_n not_o in_o the_o substance_n of_o their_o act_n yet_o whether_o the_o act_n be_v substantial_o or_o modal_o only_o sinful_a it_o come_v all_o to_o one_o in_o this_o case_n of_o divine_a concourse_n and_o predetermination_n for_o if_o god_n concur_v to_o the_o substrate_a mater_fw-la of_o act_n modal_o sinful_a why_o may_v he_o not_o as_o well_o concur_v to_o the_o substrate_a mater_fw-la of_o act_n substantial_o sinful_a do_v not_o our_o adversary_n hereby_o according_a to_o their_o principes_fw-la make_v

and_o therefore_o if_o god_n concur_v to_o the_o one_o why_o not_o also_o to_o the_o other_o assure_o the_o most_o refine_a wit_n will_v never_o find_v out_o a_o sufficient_a disparity_n between_o
