it_o seem_v to_o i_o that_o the_o scripture_n in_o sundry_a place_n speak_v after_o the_o same_o manner_n call_v that_o rebellion_n which_o strict_o and_o proper_o be_v not_o so_o or_o which_o at_o least_o be_v not_o rebellion_n in_o a_o criminal_a sense_n this_o perhaps_o may_v seem_v strange_a to_o some_o people_n but_o let_v they_o impartial_o consider_v 1_o king_n 12.19_o where_o it_o be_v say_v israel_n rebel_v against_o the_o house_n of_o david_n unto_o this_o day_n and_o to_o this_o day_n they_o be_v never_o reprove_v for_o it_o and_o good_a reason_n for_o this_o thing_n be_v from_o i_o say_v the_o lord_n by_o the_o prophet_n shemaiah_n vers_fw-la 24._o nor_o can_v we_o call_v this_o a_o bare_a permission_n but_o it_o be_v determine_v beforehand_o and_o a_o prophet_n send_v to_o jeroboam_n to_o give_v he_o notice_n of_o it_o behold_v i_o will_v rend_v the_o kingdom_n out_o of_o the_o hand_n of_o solomon_n and_o will_v give_v ten_o tribe_n to_o thou_o 1_o king_n 11.31_o and_o why_o shall_v god_n do_v this_o because_o say_v he_o they_o have_v for_o saken_a i_o and_o worship_v idol_n etc._n etc._n so_o that_o here_o be_v a_o peremptory_a decree_n for_o this_o defection_n with_o the_o reason_n annex_v and_o god_n order_v seeond_a cause_n so_o as_o to_o bring_v it_o about_o learned_a man_n may_v dispute_v if_o they_o please_v whether_o the_o ten_o tribe_n be_v free_a agent_n in_o what_o they_o do_v it_o be_v evident_a from_o the_o text_n that_o this_o revolt_n of_o they_o be_v the_o purpose_n and_o design_n of_o god_n and_o be_v approve_v by_o he_o though_o it_o be_v call_v in_o scripture_n rebellion_n another_o instance_n of_o this_o kind_n we_o have_v in_o 2_o king_n 18.7_o where_o it_o be_v say_v of_o hezekiah_n that_o he_o rebel_v against_o the_o king_n of_o assria_n be_v hezekiah_n a_o offender_n in_o this_o no_o for_o the_o lord_n be_v with_o he_o whatever_o promise_v or_o covenant_n have_v pass_v between_o he_o and_o the_o king_n of_o assyria_n we_o know_v not_o this_o be_v certain_a that_o king_n hezekiah_n do_v well_o in_o throw_v off_o the_o assyrian_a yoke_n though_o it_o have_v the_o name_n of_o rebellion_n for_o he_o cleave_v to_o the_o lord_n and_o depart_v not_o from_o follow_v he_o but_o keep_v his_o commandment_n so_o that_o after_o he_o be_v none_o like_o he_o among_o all_o the_o king_n of_o judah_n nor_o any_o that_o be_v before_o he_o behold_v here_o a_o sinless_a rebellion_n which_o be_v the_o thing_n i_o aim_v at_o and_o now_o let_v the_o jacobite_n call_v we_o rebel_n or_o what_o else_o they_o please_v i_o shall_v now_o proceed_v to_o give_v my_o answer_n when_o it_o be_v time_n to_o rebel_n have_v first_o declare_v when_o it_o be_v not_o time_n it_o be_v not_o to_o fly_v to_o arm_n for_o some_o few_o private_a

it_o have_v prove_v contrary_a what_o be_v well_o mean_v and_o will_v afford_v a_o tolerable_a reason_n shall_v be_v forgive_v notwithstanding_o the_o ill_a consequence_n when_o it_o be_v not_o
