justice_n for_o ahabs_n impiety_n the_o lord_n say_v that_o he_o will_v require_v the_o blood_n of_o ahab_n on_o the_o house_n of_o jehu_n even_o so_o they_o that_o destroy_v any_o offender_n root_n

he_o but_o will_v most_o severe_o punish_v it_o at_o the_o last_o and_o i_o think_v that_o the_o make_n of_o themselves_o great_a as_o jehu_n do_v by_o the_o service_n that_o man_n pretend_v to_o do_v to_o god_n do_v sufficient_o cause_v many_o other_o to_o doubt_n whether_o they_o have_v do_v those_o thing_n only_o for_o god_n glory_n or_o for_o a_o conjuncture_n likewise_o of_o their_o own_o profit_n and_o i_o conceive_v you_o may_v be_v sure_a the_o jealous_a god_n will_v not_o regard_v that_o service_n which_o be_v do_v to_o he_o with_o a_o sinister_a aspect_n and_o respect_n to_o our_o own_o profit_n because_o he_o will_v not_o give_v his_o glory_n unto_o another_o he_o will_v not_o yield_v any_o part_n of_o his_o service_n to_o any_o of_o they_o that_o do_v the_o service_n but_o though_o he_o will_v certain_o reward_v every_o man_n that_o do_v he_o service_n yet_o as_o our_o saviour_n explain_v the_o word_n of_o moses_n it_o be_v write_v the_o shall_v worship_v the_o lord_n

accept_v nor_o reward_v that_o service_n which_o thou_o do_v to_o thyself_o as_o well_o as_o to_o god_n or_o rather_o to_o thyself_o then_o to_o god_n and_o therefore_o i_o will_v advise_v all_o those_o that_o in_o do_v service_n unto_o god_n by_o pull_v down_o the_o transgressor_n of_o his_o law_n have_v raise_v themselves_o to_o such_o great_a polsession_n this_o i_o will_v the_o rebel_n will_v consider_v this_o to_o look_v well_o to_o their_o intention_n progression_n and_o execution_n of_o their_o work_n lest_o that_o for_o the_o service_n they_o believe_v they_o do_v to_o god_n they_o receive_v the_o reward_n of_o the_o scribe_n and_o pharisee_n or_o of_o jehn_n that_o pull_v down_o king_n ahab_n to_o make_v himself_o king_n of_o israel_n 3._o 16.9_o 3._o many_o do_v good_a

to_o confess_v their_o sin_n and_o to_o bewail_v his_o death_n nay_o they_o be_v so_o far_o from_o return_v or_o repent_v they_o of_o their_o wickedness_n that_o their_o heart_n be_v harden_v hard_a

execution_n of_o god_n providence_n it_o can_v be_v so_o offensive_a unto_o god_n i_o answer_v sol._n 1_o 1._o that_o god_n counsel_n be_v secret_a and_o unknown_a unto_o they_o and_o they_o have_v no_o revelation_n nor_o commandment_n from_o god_n to_o do_v it_o therefore_o they_o be_v inexcusable_a for_o do_v it_o 2._o though_o s._n peter_n say_v god_n have_v determine_v this_o to_o be_v do_v

though_o they_o have_v know_v god_n mind_n and_o that_o his_o mind_n be_v that_o they_o shall_v be_v the_o actor_n of_o this_o tragedy_n yet_o god_n end_v be_v salus_fw-la populi_fw-la the_o
