prayer_n command_v he_o to_o take_v his_o rod_n and_o in_o the_o assembly_n of_o the_o people_n 6._o to_o speak_v to_o the_o rock_n and_o the_o water_n shall_v issue_v out_o moses_n assemble_v the_o 8._o people_n expostulate_v the_o matter_n with_o they_o strike_v the_o rock_n twice_o and_o the_o water_n come_v where_o be_v the_o great_a sin_n of_o 10._o moses_n all_o this_o while_n yet_o he_o often_o repeat_v it_o that_o god_n be_v angry_a with_o he_o 37._o for_o something_o do_v at_o that_o time_n god_n himself_o say_v moses_n and_o aaron_n rebel_v 21._o against_o he_o and_o that_o they_o do_v not_o sanctify_v 14._o he_o before_o the_o people_n the_o psalmist_n say_v they_o provoke_v his_o spirit_n so_o 33._o that_o he_o speak_v unadvised_a with_o his_o li_n after_o all_o the_o sin_n of_o moses_n be_v a_o mixture_n of_o anger_n and_o some_o kind_n of_o infidelity_n for_o the_o psalmist_n say_v he_o be_v high_o provoke_v and_o god_n himself_o say_v 12._o they_o believe_v he_o not_o to_o sanctify_v he_o in_o the_o eye_n of_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n the_o fault_n than_o seem_v to_o lie_v in_o this_o that_o they_o be_v more_o concern_v for_o their_o own_o honour_n than_o god_n and_o do_v not_o so_o clear_o attribute_v the_o power_n of_o the_o miracle_n to_o god_n but_o that_o the_o people_n may_v think_v they_o assume_v it_o to_o themselves_o as_o appear_v by_o their_o word_n to_o the_o people_n hear_v now_o you_o rebel_n must_v we_o fetch_v 10._o you_o water_n out_o of_o the_o rock_n which_o expression_n do_v not_o give_v god_n the_o glory_n he_o expect_v from_o they_o and_o he_o be_v so_o tender_a in_o matter_n of_o his_o own_o honour_n that_o he_o will_v suffer_v none_o to_o encroach_v upon_o it_o no_o not_o his_o faithful_a servant_n but_o he_o make_v they_o smart_v for_o attempt_v it_o the_o other_o case_n be_v that_o of_o david_n number_v the_o people_n and_o he_o be_v a_o man_n after_o god_n own_o heart_n of_o great_a sincerity_n and_o courage_n and_o constancy_n in_o his_o service_n yet_o of_o a_o sudden_a he_o take_v up_o a_o resolution_n that_o he_o will_v have_v all_o the_o people_n number_v without_o any_o apparent_a reason_n for_o it_o and_o although_o he_o be_v discourage_v from_o the_o attempt_n by_o those_o about_o he_o yet_o he_o will_v be_v obey_v and_o what_o come_v of_o it_o true_o before_o the_o thing_n be_v complete_v he_o grow_v very_o uneasy_a at_o what_o he_o have_v do_v for_o it_o be_v say_v his_o heart_n smite_v he_o after_o that_o he_o have_v number_v the_o 9_o people_n and_o david_n say_v to_o the_o lord_n i_o have_v sin_v great_o in_o what_o i_o have_v do_v and_o yet_o in_o the_o book_n of_o chronicle_n it_o be_v say_v that_o he_o finish_v it_o not_o because_o wrath_n 24._o fall_v for_o it_o against_o israel_n what_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o all_o this_o severity_n against_o david_n be_v it_o such_o a_o unpardonable_a sin_n for_o a_o king_n to_o understand_v the_o number_n of_o his_o people_n suppose_v it_o a_o fail_v yet_o why_o shall_v god_n be_v so_o angry_a for_o one_o such_o fail_v in_o he_o that_o have_v serve_v god_n so_o sincere_o as_o david_n have_v do_v there_o must_v be_v something_o extraordinary_a in_o this_o case_n for_o god_n sometime_o suppose_v the_o people_n to_o be_v number_v 1._o and_o in_o some_o case_n he_o require_v or_o allow_v it_o why_o then_o be_v he_o so_o displease_v now_o at_o the_o do_v it_o the_o best_a account_n i_o know_v of_o it_o be_v this_o it_o be_v not_o a_o mere_a piece_n of_o vanity_n and_o ostentation_n in_o david_n although_o that_o be_v displease_v to_o god_n but_o it_o be_v a_o thing_n as_o design_v by_o he_o which_o be_v general_o look_v on_o as_o inconsistent_a with_o the_o fundamental_a promise_n make_v to_o abraham_n and_o so_o it_o be_v mention_v in_o the_o chronicle_n why_o the_o number_v be_v not_o exact_o take_v because_o the_o lord_n have_v say_v he_o will_v increase_v israel_n like_o the_o star_n of_o 23._o the_o heaven_n which_o seem_v to_o imply_v that_o there_o be_v a_o general_a notion_n receive_v among_o the_o people_n that_o since_o god_n promise_v to_o increase_v they_o beyond_o number_n no_o one_o ought_v to_o go_v about_o to_o take_v the_o exact_a number_n of_o they_o for_o this_o must_v seem_v to_o savour_v of_o infidelity_n and_o a_o contempt_n or_o mistrust_n of_o god_n fundamental_a promise_n but_o however_o upon_o such_o occasion_n god_n may_v use_v two_o of_o his_o most_o faithful_a servant_n thus_o yet_o we_o have_v no_o reason_n to_o question_v his_o readiness_n to_o pardon_v these_o and_o other_o their_o fail_n upon_o a_o sincere_a repentance_n and_o to_o accept_v of_o their_o general_a care_n and_o endeavour_v to_o please_v he_o instead_o of_o a_o perfect_a obedience_n but_o i_o have_v something_o far_a to_o offer_v for_o the_o clear_n these_o two_o difficult_a case_n viz._n that_o there_o be_v a_o difference_n to_o be_v observe_v between_o the_o rule_n of_o god_n proceed_n with_o particular_a person_n as_o to_o the_o general_a sincerity_n of_o their_o act_n and_o the_o measure_n of_o god_n political_a justice_n as_o to_o person_n in_o public_a capacity_n the_o reason_n be_v because_o in_o the_o latter_a case_n god_n may_v just_o have_v a_o regard_v not_o mere_o to_o the_o action_n themselves_o but_o to_o the_o circumstance_n of_o the_o people_n they_o be_v relate_v to_o thus_o moses_n mention_n it_o three_o several_a time_n the_o lord_n be_v angry_a with_o i_o for_o your_o 26._o sake_n and_o again_o the_o lord_n be_v wroth_a with_o i_o for_o your_o sake_n and_o will_v not_o hear_v i_o and_o the_o lord_n say_v unto_o i_o let_v it_o suffice_v thou_o speak_v no_o more_o to_o i_o of_o this_o matter_n it_o seem_v he_o be_v so_o much_o concern_v as_o to_o pray_v to_o god_n and_o that_o earnest_o that_o he_o will_v give_v he_o leave_v to_o conduct_v the_o people_n into_o canaan_n but_o god_n will_v not_o grant_v his_o request_n but_o he_o tell_v the_o people_n that_o it_o be_v for_o their_o sake_n that_o he_o be_v deny_v furthermore_o the_o lord_n be_v angry_a with_o i_o for_o 2d_o your_o sake_n and_o swear_v that_o i_o shall_v not_o go_v over_o jordan_n etc._n etc._n so_o that_o the_o blow_v which_o be_v give_v to_o the_o head_n be_v for_o the_o sake_n of_o the_o whole_a body_n and_o it_o be_v remarkable_a in_o the_o case_n of_o david_n that_o before_o he_o fall_v into_o the_o sin_n of_o number_v the_o people_n the_o anger_n 1._o of_o the_o lord_n be_v kindle_v against_o israel_n and_o he_o move_v david_n against_o they_o to_o say_v go_v number_n israel_n and_o judah_n from_o whence_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o the_o sin_n of_o a_o people_n may_v provoke_v god_n to_o let_v prince_n fall_v into_o such_o sin_n which_o may_v give_v just_a occasion_n to_o god_n to_o punish_v both_o together_o but_o this_o be_v a_o very_a different_a case_n from_o the_o method_n of_o god_n deal_n with_o particular_a person_n with_o regard_n to_o their_o integrity_n according_a to_o the_o term_n of_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n which_o be_v establish_v on_o such_o foundation_n that_o we_o need_v not_o give_v way_n to_o despondency_n for_o the_o sake_n of_o such_o particular_a act_n of_o severity_n ii_o i_o be_o now_o to_o consider_v the_o different_a consequence_n of_o these_o two_o to_o be_v carnal_o mind_v be_v death_n but_o to_o be_v spiritual_o mind_v be_v life_n and_o peace_n which_o in_o short_a be_v that_o the_o advantage_n be_v far_o great_a which_o come_v to_o mankind_n by_o one_o than_o by_o the_o other_o and_o that_o will_v appear_v by_o compare_v they_o together_o 1._o as_o under_o equal_a circumstance_n 2._o as_o under_o unequal_a circumstance_n 1._o as_o under_o equal_a circumstance_n and_o here_o we_o have_v two_o sort_n of_o person_n to_o consider_v 1._o those_o who_o have_v conviction_n of_o conscience_n go_v along_o with_o a_o carnal_a mind_n such_o who_o look_v on_o the_o condition_n of_o man_n in_o this_o world_n at_o a_o distance_n and_o judge_v only_o by_o appearance_n will_v be_v apt_a to_o think_v that_o those_o who_o do_v allow_v themselves_o all_o the_o liberty_n which_o a_o carnal_a mind_n do_v incline_v they_o to_o have_v very_o much_o the_o advantage_n of_o those_o who_o be_v under_o the_o restraint_n of_o a_o spiritual_a mind_n for_o they_o be_v bind_v to_o severe_a rule_n of_o virtue_n and_o mortification_n to_o deny_v all_o ungodliness_n and_o worldly_a lust_n and_o to_o live_v sober_o and_o righteous_o and_o godly_a in_o this_o present_a world_n and_o these_o be_v think_v to_o be_v very_o hard_a thing_n whereas_o such_o who_o be_v not_o under_o these_o difficulty_n seem_v to_o lead_v the_o most_o pleasant_a and_o easy_a life_n
