another_o here_o be_v only_o these_o two_o thing_n by_o way_n of_o explication_n quest_n 1_o 1._o why_o it_o be_v say_v with_o the_o priest_n rather_o than_o with_o the_o prophet_n quest_n 2_o 2._o why_o it_o be_v say_v for_o this_o people_n be_v as_o they_o that_o strive_v with_o the_o priest_n do_v not_o they_o strive_v with_o the_o priest_n why_o then_o be_v it_o not_o say_v this_o people_n be_v a_o people_n that_o strive_v with_o the_o priest_n for_o the_o answer_n to_o these_o two_o brief_o answ_n 1_o first_o it_o be_v say_v that_o they_o strive_v with_o the_o priest_n rather_o than_o with_o the_o prophet_n though_o the_o prophet_n do_v rebuke_v they_o and_o strive_v with_o they_o upon_o this_o reason_n because_o the_o priest_n be_v a_o stand_a office_n in_o the_o church_n of_o god_n the_o prophet_n that_o be_v a_o extraordinary_a office_n and_o they_o can_v not_o be_v sure_a of_o the_o prophet_n whether_o he_o be_v a_o true_a prophet_n or_o no_o but_o according_a to_o the_o event_n of_o the_o prophecy_n quere_z but_z the_o priest_n they_o acknowledge_v he_o to_o be_v a_o officer_n of_o god_n and_o that_o be_v the_o reason_n that_o the_o priest_n be_v here_o name_v rather_o than_o the_o prophet_n answ_n and_o then_o as_o those_o that_o strive_v with_o the_o priest_n it_o may_v be_v the_o priest_n be_v general_o so_o bad_a that_o there_o be_v scarce_o any_o priest_n that_o do_v strive_v with_o they_o at_o all_o those_o priest_n be_v jeroboam_n priest_n they_o do_v join_v with_o they_o in_o their_o wickedness_n therefore_o he_o can_v not_o say_v they_o do_v strive_v with_o the_o priest_n but_o yet_o thus_o their_o heart_n be_v as_o vile_a god_n see_v this_o in_o their_o heart_n that_o if_o there_o be_v priest_n to_o strive_v with_o they_o they_o will_v strive_v with_o they_o or_o second_o thus_o as_o those_o that_o strive_v with_o the_o priest_n because_o indeed_o those_o priest_n of_o israel_n at_o this_o time_n they_o be_v not_o such_o as_o be_v call_v of_o god_n for_o in_o 1_o king_n 12.31_o the_o text_n say_v of_o jeroboam_n that_o he_o make_v priest_n of_o the_o low_a of_o the_o people_n which_o be_v not_o of_o the_o son_n of_o levi_n and_o chap._n 13._o ver_fw-la 33._o whosoever_o will_v he_o consecrate_v he_o and_o he_o become_v one_o of_o the_o priest_n of_o the_o high_a place_n but_o the_o people_n receive_v they_o as_o priest_n still_o for_o indeed_o they_o think_v that_o the_o king_n authority_n be_v enough_o for_o all_o because_o the_o king_n will_v have_v they_o to_o be_v priest_n they_o will_v receive_v they_o as_o it_o the_o king_n have_v the_o absolute_a power_n to_o make_v all_o church_n officer_n if_o they_o be_v send_v by_o the_o king_n authority_n they_o must_v be_v acknowledge_v to_o be_v church_n officer_n so_o it_o be_v then_o and_o that_o may_v seem_v to_o be_v the_o reason_n of_o that_o expression_n as_o those_o now_o from_o hence_o the_o note_n be_v these_o for_o you_o must_v take_v it_o that_o this_o be_v employ_v here_o that_o suppose_v there_o be_v priest_n faithful_a and_o godly_a that_o do_v strive_v with_o they_o yet_o their_o heart_n be_v so_o hard_o that_o they_o will_v strive_v against_o those_o priest_n and_o this_o set_v out_o the_o grossness_n of_o the_o hardness_n of_o their_o heart_n take_v then_o the_o sense_n thus_o and_o here_o we_o may_v have_v these_o note_n first_o observe_v observe_v that_o it_o be_v the_o work_n of_o the_o priest_n to_o contend_v against_o man_n for_o their_o sin_n that_o be_v the_o proper_a work_n of_o a_o priest_n to_o strive_v with_o man_n against_o their_o sin_n they_o be_v the_o salt_n of_o the_o earth_n and_o so_o they_o shall_v have_v some_o acrimony_n in_o they_o in_o 1_o tim._n 3.3_o 3.3_o 1_o tim._n 3.3_o
