joshua_n may_v lawful_o do_v it_o because_o in_o this_o he_o be_v a_o prophet_n god_n have_v reveal_v to_o joshua_n thus_o much_o that_o the_o man_n shall_v be_v accurse_v that_o shall_v build_v the_o city_n jericho_n so_o that_o he_o speak_v this_o by_o the_o spirit_n of_o prophecy_n foreknow_v the_o mind_n of_o god_n in_o this_o matter_n this_o plain_o appear_v by_o what_o you_o read_v 1_o king_n 16._o last_o in_o his_o day_n that_o be_v in_o the_o day_n of_o ahab_n do_v hiel_n the_o bethelite_a build_v jericho_n he_o lay_v the_o foundation_n thereof_o in_o abiram_n his_o first-born_a and_o set_v up_o the_o gate_n thereof_o in_o his_o young_a son_n segub_n that_o be_v in_o the_o death_n of_o these_o son_n according_a to_o the_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n which_o he_o speak_v by_o joshua_n the_o son_n of_o nun_n that_o be_v in_o this_o place_n curse_v be_v the_o man_n before_o the_o lord_n that_o rise_v up_o and_o build_v this_o city_n jericho_n he_o shall_v lay_v the_o foundation_n thereof_o in_o his_o first-born_a and_o in_o his_o young_a son_n shall_v he_o set_v up_o the_o gate_n of_o it_o so_o then_o joshua_n speak_v no_o more_o than_o what_o god_n have_v reveal_v to_o he_o and_o which_o he_o know_v will_v most_o certain_o come_v to_o pass_v he_o do_v it_o by_o the_o direction_n and_o inspiration_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n for_o this_o reason_n joshua_n may_v lawful_o denounce_v this_o curse_n yet_o we_o must_v not_o hereupon_o think_v it_o lawful_a for_o we_o to_o curse_v our_o enemy_n no_o our_o rule_n be_v bless_v and_o curse_v not_o bless_v those_o that_o

david_n psal_n 109._o 17_o 18._o as_o he_o love_v curse_v so_o let_v it_o come_v unto_o he_o let_v it_o come_v into_o his_o bowel_n like_o water_n and_o like_o oil_n into_o his_o bone_n as_o the_o

where_o we_o meet_v with_o curse_n in_o the_o write_n of_o the_o prophet_n and_o holy_a man_n of_o god_n who_o have_v the_o spirit_n of_o prophecy_n we_o be_v to_o apply_v they_o to_o the_o enemy_n

so_o much_o of_o the_o first_o particular_a the_o denunciation_n of_o the_o curse_n curse_v be_v the_o man._n 2._o the_o next_o be_v the_o reality_n and_o certainty_n of_o the_o curse_n contain_v in_o these_o word_n before_o the_o lord_n curse_v be_v the_o man_n before_o the_o lord_n which_o word_n be_v not_o add_v in_o vain_a therefore_o not_o to_o be_v pass_v by_o without_o some_o notice_n the_o

that_o shall_v build_v this_o city_n jericho_n be_v curse_v of_o god_n the_o lord_n ratify_v and_o confirm_v the_o curse_n and_o it_o shall_v certain_o light_v upon_o he_o there_o be_v many_o curse_n which_o in_o this_o sense_n be_v not_o before_o the_o lord_n such_o be_v the_o pope_n bull_n and_o excommunication_n against_o king_n and_o prince_n and_o all_o heretic_n that_o refuse_v subjection_n to_o the_o papal_a power_n obedience_n to_o the_o see_v of_o rome_n but_o the_o person_n thus_o curse_v with_o bell_n book_n and_o candle_n be_v not_o curse_v before_o the_o lord_n the_o lord_n have_v not_o ratify_v and_o confirm_v the_o curse_n nay_o a_o curse_n unjust_o denounce_v and_o by_o one_o who_o have_v no_o power_n to_o denounce_v it_o be_v not_o a_o curse_n but_o a_o blessing_n as_o the_o prophet_n speak_v of_o balaam_n curse_v israel_n neh._n 13._o 2._o the_o lord_n turn_v the_o curse_n into_o a_o blessing_n so_o where_o rome_n curse_v the_o lord_n shall_v bless_v therefore_o we_o need_v no_o more_o to_o fear_n or_o care_n for_o the_o pope_n curse_n than_o a_o man_n in_o armour_n needs_o to_o fear_v a_o headless_a arrow_n or_o a_o child_n potgun_n for_o a_o unjust_a or_o a_o undeserved_a curse_n hurt_v not_o but_o when_o a_o man_n be_v curse_v by_o a_o qualify_a person_n commissionated_a of_o god_n and_o that_o for_o a_o just_a cause_n this_o be_v dreadful_a indeed_o for_o such_o a_o one_o may_v be_v say_v as_o in_o the_o text_n to_o be_v curse_v before_o the_o lord_n and_o this_o lead_v we_o to_o consider_v the_o three_o particular_a viz._n 3._o the_o subject_a of_o this_o curse_n or_o the_o person_n curse_a the_o man_n that_o shall_v rise_v up_o and_o build_v this_o city_n jericho_n qu._n and_o why_o be_v there_o a_o curse_n denounce_v against_o he_o that_o shall_v build_v this_o city_n or_o why_o will_v not_o joshua_n have_v jericho_n build_v again_o ans_fw-fr for_o these_o reason_n 1._o in_o obedience_n to_o god_n command_n who_o have_v reveal_v unto_o joshua_n that_o he_o will_v curse_v the_o man_n that_o build_v it_o and_o therefore_o he_o denounce_v he_o accurse_v beside_o you_o read_v deut._n 13._o 15_o 16._o that_o when_o any_o city_n be_v

god_n command_n which_o joshua_n can_v not_o be_v ignorant_a of_o he_o will_v have_v jericho_n as_o a_o ruinous_a heap_n for_o ever_o and_o curse_v the_o man_n that_o shall_v raise_v it_o out_o of_o its_o ruin_n out_o of_o its_o ash_n in_o which_o he_o have_v lay_v it_o by_o god_n commission_n 2._o that_o it_o may_v be_v a_o remembrance_n both_o of_o god_n mercy_n and_o justice_n in_o mercy_n to_o the_o israelite_n god_n take_v this_o city_n by_o a_o miracle_n now_o that_o this_o miraculous_a work_n of_o god_n may_v never_o be_v forget_v joshua_n will_v have_v it_o remain_v desolate_a that_o so_o when_o people_n in_o after_o age_n behold_v the_o ruin_n of_o it_o shall_v inquire_v the_o cause_n of_o its_o destruction_n and_o the_o reason_n why_o it_o so_o remain_v this_o may_v give_v occasion_n to_o speak_v of_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n towards_o his_o people_n and_o also_o of_o his_o justice_n against_o the_o idolatrous_a inhabitant_n of_o that_o city_n who_o sin_n and_o abomination_n have_v render_v they_o ripe_a for_o vengeance_n 3._o joshua_n will_v or_o god_n rather_o will_v have_v it_o remain_v a_o ruinous_a heap_n for_o terror_n to_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o inhabitant_n of_o the_o land._n as_o great_a conqueror_n usual_o set_v up_o some_o terrible_a monument_n and_o signal_n example_n of_o justice_n to_o terrify_v other_o so_o this_o be_v one_o of_o the_o first_o or_o chief_a city_n after_o their_o passage_n over_o jordan_n god_n to_o strike_v terror_n into_o other_o will_v have_v it_o destroy_v with_o the_o sentence_n of_o a_o curse_n upon_o any_o that_o shall_v build_v it_o again_o for_o ever_o by_o which_o we_o may_v take_v notice_n what_o a_o curse_n sin_n bring_v upon_o most_o famous_a city_n and_o place_n jericho_n be_v a_o goodly_a place_n a_o city_n of_o palm-tree_n a_o fence_a city_n who_o wall_n reach_v up_o to_o heaven_n yet_o be_v a_o sinful_a a_o idolatrous_a city_n what_o a_o woeful_a curse_n fall_v upon_o it_o to_o be_v
