such_o way_n wherein_o my_o interest_n lie_v with_o god_n glory_n and_o be_v unwilling_a to_o run_v with_o god_n in_o the_o way_n wherein_o i_o have_v no_o interest_n at_o all_o i_o say_v if_o we_o put_v this_o to_o our_o heart_n we_o shall_v bring_v they_o upon_o the_o trial_n if_o so_o then_o it_o be_v a_o clear_a discovery_n whatever_o the_o heart_n may_v pretend_v how_o high_a soever_o it_o may_v seem_v to_o set_v up_o god_n glory_n yet_o that_o be_v not_o the_o end_n but_o it_o be_v own_o interest_n for_o if_o so_o be_v i_o can_v run_v along_o with_o god_n glory_n only_o when_o i_o can_v carry_v my_o interest_n with_o i_o it_o be_v a_o sign_n i_o act_v not_o for_o god_n glory_n but_o for_o my_o own_o interest_n 2_o to_o consider_v whether_o or_o no_o i_o will_v go_v along_o with_o god_n glory_n so_o far_o till_o i_o come_v to_o the_o end_n of_o my_o own_o interest_n and_o then_o go_v with_o god_n no_o further_o if_o so_o this_o be_v a_o clear_a evidence_n how_o great_a soever_o the_o zeal_n pretend_v may_v be_v for_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n yet_o god_n glory_n be_v not_o my_o end_n for_o if_o god_n glory_n have_v be_v the_o end_n than_o the_o soul_n when_o it_o have_v come_v at_o the_o butt_n as_o i_o may_v say_v that_o its_o own_o interest_n will_v advance_v no_o further_o yet_o it_o will_v have_v go_v upon_o the_o pure_a account_n of_o god_n glory_n but_o now_o when_o i_o go_v no_o further_o than_o the_o butt_n where_o my_o own_o interest_n be_v i_o go_v not_o one_o part_n of_o the_o way_n upon_o the_o account_n of_o god_n glory_n it_o be_v very_o remarkable_a that_o example_n of_o jehu_n as_o to_o this_o jehu_n pretend_v high_a for_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n but_o here_o be_v the_o trial_n when_o he_o come_v to_o that_o which_o run_v cross_v to_o his_o own_o interest_n there_o he_o stick_v be_v run_v through_o the_o whole_a command_n of_o god_n concern_v the_o house_n of_o ahab_n he_o destroy_v that_o utter_o but_o when_o he_o come_v to_o the_o calf_n of_o dan_n and_o bethell_n he_o can_v not_o destroy_v they_o for_o that_o be_v contrary_a to_o his_o interest_n and_o that_o very_a reason_n of_o state_n that_o move_v jeroboam_n to_o set_v up_o the_o calf_n cause_v jehu_n to_o keep_v they_o up_o to_o keep_v up_o his_o interest_n to_o ensure_v the_o kingdom_n to_o himself_o therefore_o when_o he_o have_v go_v just_a so_o far_o as_o he_o can_v with_o his_o own_o interest_n destroy_v the_o house_n of_o ahab_n and_o all_o the_o friend_n of_o ahab_n which_o conduce_v to_o his_o settlement_n in_o the_o kingdom_n be_v suitable_a to_o his_o interest_n he_o can_v go_v no_o further_o but_o when_o he_o see_v he_o be_v to_o make_v a_o advance_v and_o go_v forth_o beyond_o his_o interest_n he_o must_v go_v over_o the_o head_n of_o his_o interest_n or_o follow_v god_n no_o further_o he_o be_v at_o a_o stand_n he_o go_v up_o to_o the_o utmost_a bound_n of_o his_o interest_n to_o the_o calf_n of_o dan_n and_o bethell_n but_o the_o calf_n of_o dan_n and_o bethell_n must_v stand_v i_o will_v not_o meddle_v with_o they_o i_o will_v not_o destroy_v my_o interest_n this_o be_v a_o clear_a and_o evident_a argument_n that_o all_o the_o step_n he_o have_v make_v before_o be_v not_o for_o god_n glory_n but_o indeed_o for_o his_o own_o interest_n 7_o reason_n 7_o because_o a_o bad_a end_n be_v of_o such_o force_n as_o that_o it_o will_v make_v that_o action_n which_o in_o itself_o be_v good_a to_o be_v bad_a and_o instead_o of_o reward_n it_o will_v bring_v judgement_n from_o god_n upon_o a_o man_n for_o do_v of_o it_o that_o very_a word_n be_v speak_v by_o the_o prophet_n hosea_n touch_v that_o man_n we_o have_v be_v speak_v of_o hos_n 1.4_o say_v the_o lord_n call_v his_o name_n jezreel_n for_o yet_o a_o little_a while_n and_o i_o will_v avenge_v the_o blood_n of_o jezreel_n upon_o the_o house_n of_o jehu_n it_o be_v a_o very_a strange_a passage_n why_o what_o do_v jehu_n do_v more_o than_o god_n bid_v he_o jehu_n destroy_v ahab'_v house_n god_n bid_v he_o do_v it_o jehu_n destroy_v the_o house_n of_o baal_n and_o that_o be_v god_n will_v he_o shall_v do_v it_o jehn_n be_v find_v in_o the_o very_a command_n and_o will_v of_o god_n in_o what_o he_o do_v and_o yet_o say_v god_n i_o will_v avenge_v the_o blood_n of_o jezreel_n upon_o the_o head_n of_o jehu_n the_o very_a blood_n he_o shed_v in_o the_o cause_n of_o god_n be_v charge_v upon_o he_o as_o if_o he_o have_v be_v a_o murderer_n what_o be_v the_o reason_n of_o it_o why_o his_o end_n be_v not_o right_a it_o be_v not_o god_n end_n his_o end_n be_v to_o root_v out_o all_o idolatry_n god_n command_v jehu_n to_o destroy_v all_o the_o idol_n in_o the_o land_n he_o bid_v jehu_n go_v stand_v forth_o in_o my_o name_n and_o tread_v down_o in_o my_o name_n all_o the_o idol_n and_o high_a place_n of_o idolatrous_a worship_n and_o all_o the_o tyranny_n and_o wickedness_n in_o the_o land_n jehu_n think_v well_o if_o i_o can_v do_v it_o i_o shall_v get_v a_o kingdom_n and_o i_o can_v settle_v myself_o fast_o he_o go_v with_o another_o end_n he_o go_v to_o destroy_v all_o to_o settle_v himself_o fast_o in_o his_o seat_n and_o sure_o this_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o the_o lord_n will_v avenge_v the_o blood_n of_o jezreel_n upon_o jehu_n say_v he_o i_o will_v bring_v it_o upon_o he_o because_o he_o have_v a_o evil_a end_n in_o the_o do_n of_o it_o 8_o reason_n 8_o because_o a_o good_a end_n it_o will_v make_v that_o action_n which_o in_o the_o interpretation_n of_o other_o may_v be_v bad_a and_o may_v be_v other_o be_v account_v bad_a it_o will_v make_v that_o action_n good_a i_o will_v not_o be_v mistake_v i_o do_v not_o say_v a_o good_a end_n will_v make_v a_o action_n that_o in_o itself_o be_v bad_a good_a but_o a_o good_a end_n will_v make_v that_o action_n which_o in_o the_o interpretation_n of_o another_o may_v be_v bad_a it_o will_v make_v that_o good_a do_v but_o look_v upon_o paul_n action_n and_o they_o will_v seem_v very_o strange_a when_o as_o paul_n say_v of_o himself_o in_o the_o epistle_n to_o the_o corinthian_n to_o the_o jew_n i_o become_v a_o jew_n that_o i_o may_v gain_v the_o jew_n to_o they_o that_o be_v under_o the_o law_n as_o under_o the_o law_n that_o i_o may_v gain_v they_o that_o be_v under_o the_o law_n to_o they_o that_o be_v without_o law_n as_o without_o law_n be_v not_o without_o law_n to_o god_n but_o under_o the_o law_n to_o christ_n that_o i_o may_v gain_v they_o that_o be_v without_o law_n to_o the_o weak_a become_v i_o as_o weak_a that_o i_o may_v gain_v the_o weak_a i_o be_o make_v all_o thing_n to_o all_o man_n that_o i_o may_v by_o all_o mean_n save_o some_o and_o this_o i_o do_v for_o the_o gospel_n sake_n and_o so_o in_o 1_o cor._n 10.32_o 33._o giving_z none_o offence_n neither_o to_o the_o jew_n nor_o to_o the_o gentile_n nor_o to_o the_o church_n of_o god_n even_o as_o i_o please_v all_o man_n in_o all_o thing_n not_o seek_v my_o own_o profit_n but_o the_o profit_n of_o many_o that_o they_o may_v be_v save_v one_o will_v think_v that_o read_v over_o these_o passage_n that_o paul_n be_v a_o mere_a statist_n a_o politic_a man_n for_o a_o man_n to_o please_v all_o man_n in_o all_o thing_n to_o come_v among_o the_o jew_n and_o there_o conform_v to_o they_o to_o come_v among_o the_o weak_a and_o there_o stoop_v to_o they_o come_v among_o they_o that_o be_v without_o law_n and_o there_o conform_v to_o they_o one_o will_v think_v that_o here_o be_v a_o mere_a hypocrite_n but_o here_o be_v a_o bless_a end_n that_o make_v the_o action_n good_a here_o be_v his_o end_n that_o he_o may_v gain_v some_o to_o christ_n here_o be_v a_o holy_a end_n paul_n do_v not_o do_v it_o to_o please_v man_n that_o man_n may_v own_v he_o and_o that_o man_n may_v cry_v he_o up_o but_o that_o carriage_n be_v to_o gain_v man_n to_o christ_n and_o the_o action_n become_v a_o bless_a action_n through_o a_o holy_a end_n 9_o reason_n 9_o we_o have_v need_v to_o look_v to_o our_o end_n because_o all_o a_o man_n comfort_n in_o suffer_v it_o will_v be_v as_o his_o end_n be_v if_o a_o man_n do_v appear_v for_o god_n in_o a_o way_n of_o action_n or_o speak_v for_o god_n why_o true_o his_o comfort_n if_o he_o be_v call_v out_o to_o suffer_v will_v be_v as_o his_o end_n be_v what_o be_v it_o that_o make_v paul_n he_o can_v run_v
