that it s used so when the servants of God were most intense and affected in prayer as in Deut. 3.24.9.26 and Gen. 15.28 in which places its Jehovih and both Abraham and Moses were exceeding earnest with God Wilt thou destroy all the residue in Israel c. This deprecation is very argumentative and hath many considerations to divert God from destroing of them The first lyeth in the word Thou wilt thou who hast chosen Sion and said it should be thy rest for ever Psal 132.13 14. Wilt thou who hast made a Covenant with the p ople and twearest by thy holinesse to David that his seede sh uld endure for ever as the Sunne and Moone Psal 89.35 36 37. Wilt thou who promisedst Abraham that in his seede all the nations of the earth should be blessed wilt thou now disannull thy promises breake Covenant and shew thy selfe forgetfull of all yea unfaithfull The 2d is in the word Destroy what will nothing suffice but destruction thou saidst If they brake thy Statutes and kept not thy commandements that thou wouldst visit their transgression with the rod and their iniquity with stripes but thy loving kindnesse thou wouldst not utterly take from them nor suffer thy faithfullness to faile Psal 89.31 32 33. But if thou destroy and that without pitty mercy where is thy loving kindenesse where is thy faithfulnesse 3d. Is in the word Israel which was a moving word and put God in mind how deare they had been unto him Israel was his Sonne his First-borne Exod. 4 22. His chosen ones Isa 44.1 His glory Isa 46.13 Israel he had brought out of Aegypt and done great things for Exod. 18.1.8 9. It s Israel is so deare to thee whom thou hast done so much for and wilt thou destroy Israel Israel here is put for Judah by a synechdoche 4. In the residue of Israel there be ten tribes gone already into captivity yea a great part of th' other two tribes are now in Babylon and wilt not thou have compassion on the little remnant that is remaining 5. All the residue What shall all of them be destroyed and utterly man woman childe they are all slain in the Temple most in the City Didst not thou bid me bind up a few hairs in my skirts Chap. 5.3 thereby typifying out that some should be saved Didst not thou tell me Chap. 6.8 Yet will I leave a remnant and what now Lord must all the residue be cut off I be a lying Prophet and thou false in thy word O doe it not doe it not 6. In powring out of thy fury it notes emptying of himselfe as clouds vials buckets when all is in them is powred out and the argument runs thus Lord must all thy fury be powred out at once where are thy bowels thy mercies thou sayest thou reservest wrath for thine enemies Nahum 1.2 wilt thou powr it all out upon thy people and reserve none for heathens for thine adversaries for whom properly thy fury is Isa 59.18 O reserve thy wrath for them and powr it not out upon us 7. Vpon Jerusalem This is the place thou chosest and where thou didst set thy name 2 Kings 23.27 This City was the perfection of beauty and joy of the whole earth Lam. 2.15 The City of God the great King and Lord of Hosts Psal 48.1.28 The holy Citie Isa 52.1 It had the holy Temple the holy Ark the holy Sacrifices and Ordinances the holy Priests and Prophets the holy Law Here only was God known and his name great Lord wilt thou powr out thy wrath upon Jerusalem thou wilt then have no place left thee in the world to be worshipped in what will become of thy name thy glory all thy holy things Thou wilt have no Church no people no praise in the earth Nay the adversary will mocke and blaspheme and what will the mark'd ones think and say when Jerusalem is laid wast the pledge of their hope may they not say we looked for light but behold darknesse we expected a Messiiah but our hopes are cut off we have our lives for a prey and that is all The godly doe sympathize with the miseries of others Obser 1. the Prophet here is affected greatly with the judgements of God upon this people When the Prophets told them of Gods judgements comming upon them they thought hardly of the Prophets they could not heare them 2 Chron. 36.16 they conceiv'd the Prophets hated them and meant them no good but when the things they fore-told came to passe they pittied them and mourned for them Ezekiel through deepe sense of their slaughter falls downe and shed tears as they shed blood their bodies were wounded and his heart was wounded wounded for their sins wounded for Gods wrath and heavy judgements were now upon them Jer. 9.1 Oh that my head were waters mine eyes a fountaine of teares that I might weepe day and night for the slaine of the daughter of my people Jeremiah so sympathiz'd with them that he had a mind neither to eate drink or sleep but only to weep night and day tears should be his meat drink and sleep Such a sympathizing man was Moses Deut. 9 12 13. When the people had sin'd in making them a Calvish god and Gods wrath was comming out to their destruction what did Moses vers 18. Hee fell downe before the Lord forty dayes and forty nights and did neither eate bread nor drinke water because the people had sin'd and provoked God to anger Here was a man affected with their miseries I was afraid saith he of the anger and hot displeasure wherewith the Lord was wrath against you to destroy you Forty dayes did Moses mourn for them and humble himselfe and this kind of mourning 40. dayes in case of judgement some think riseth from Gods raining upon the world 40. dayes and 40. nights Answerable to which Moses Eliah and Christ fasted mourned and prayed and so to Nineveh 40. days was given them to prevent their destruction This duty of sympathizing with others in their misery was Davids practise though they were wicked and rewarded him evill yet if they were in misery Psalm 35.11 he would share in it When they were sicke his cloathing was sack-cloath he humbled his soule with fasting Wicked men laugh and are glad at the miseries of the godly but the godly sigh and mourn at and for the miseries of the wicked they remember the Apostolicall command Rom. 12.15 Weepe with them that weepe that will be some ease to them to see others sensible of their condition This makes them like to Christ himselfe Heb. 4.15 Hee is touched with our infirmities Judgements are upon the Kingdome many of Gods deare servants as well as others suffer hard things 1. Take notice of their grievances burthens dangers 2. Mind them 3. Be tender affectioned towards them And 4. helpe them what you can and this is true sympathy 2. The servants of God that draw neere him in time of his judgements are conscious
