in_o the_o day_n of_o ahab_n many_o godly_a in_o israel_n this_o way_n afflict_v god_n himself_o confess_v that_o there_o be_v seven_o thousand_o which_o never_o bow_v knee_n to_o baal_n distress_v

they_o be_v slack_a in_o punish_v offender_n or_o backward_o in_o prefer_v man_n of_o good_a quality_n and_o desert_n so_o that_o it_o be_v good_a for_o they_o that_o god_n punish_v they_o in_o

you_o for_o if_o idolatry_n and_o notorious_a crime_n be_v to_o be_v punish_v with_o dearth_n and_o famine_n they_o shall_v they_o be_v most_o subject_a to_o this_o plague_n which_o be_v more_o

they_o wish_v that_o they_o may_v shake_v off_o those_o occasion_n to_o sin_v but_o the_o infidel_n and_o impudent_a sinner_n little_a regard_n any_o amendment_n which_o think_v it_o not_o enough_o to_o offend_v god_n themselves_o but_o be_v ready_a to_o draw_v other_o into_o the_o same_o pitfall_n yea_o and_o be_v angry_a as_o the_o apostle_n speak_v if_o other_o will_v not_o go_v on_o with_o

by_o which_o they_o not_o only_o escape_v the_o brunt_n of_o this_o heavy_a judgement_n but_o enrich_v themselves_o thereby_o rather_o have_v the_o godly_a starve_v for_o hunger_n then_o to_o use_v these_o sleight_n to_o preserve_v their_o life_n and_o yet_o be_v their_o condition_n no_o better_o than_o they_o this_o tentation_n have_v in_o all_o age_n much_o distract_v and_o trouble_v the_o

in_o his_o three_o &_o four_o chapter_n say_v that_o many_o have_v burst_v out_o into_o these_o blasphemy_n it_o be_v in_o vain_a to_o serve_v the_o lord_n and_o it_o be_v all_o one_o to_o do_v well_o or_o ill_o for_o neither_o be_v the_o just_a reward_v nor_o the_o ill_a man_n punish_v but_o we_o must_v know_v there_o be_v a_o great_a difference_n between_o the_o wicked_a and_o godly_a in_o the_o like_a punishment_n as_o also_o that_o albeit_o sin_n be_v the_o principal_a and_o chief_a cause_n of_o all_o mischief_n for_o other_o cause_v god_n do_v afflict_v man_n with_o famine_n sword_n or_o

that_o man_n may_v be_v turn_v to_o he_o as_o we_o pluck_v back_o and_o stay_v our_o horse_n if_o either_o they_o gallop_v too_o fast_o or_o go_v any_o thing_n out_o of_o the_o way_n so_o do_v god_n
