He kills his Master leboram the King chap. 9. vers 24. there is his sinne how farre he sinned in this action you shal heare afterward 2. There neither comes thunderbolt from heaven to strike him neither doth the earth open her mouth to devoure him nor any other plague seize upon him for it there is Gods connivence 3. Hereupon he proceedeth to dash lezabel the Queene against the walls to behead the kings children to cut off from Ahab all that remained chap 10. there is his boldnesse Hitherto all sorts well with him the world goeth on his side still but you looke for a fourth part what God prepared for him all this while my Text wil tel you that which is nothing else but the denouncing of vengeance against Iehu's house for this bloody cruelty Heare the words and you shal understand his punishment I will avenge the blood of Iezreel upon the house of Iehu You have the scope and the summe The parts are three Paena Crimen Reus A punishment denounced I will avenge A fault to be punished The blood of Iezreel A part to sustaine the punishment The house of Iehu Each part subdivideth it selfe into two branches In the punishment you have two things 1. The foreshewing of an evill to come The tense affoordeth this consideration 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 in the future signification I will avenge 2. The nature of the evill foreshowne this the Verbe telleth us it is avenging In the crime you have likewise two things 1. The fault in generall to bee punished that is murder set downe here under the name of blood 2. The restriction of this fault in respect of the persons murthered in the word Iezreel the blood of Iezreel Finally in the party sustaining you have two things the root and the branches the fountaine and the rivers Iehu and his posterity the house of Iehu So that these words doe give us to consider of fix things 1.
