consilio hane Religionem delegerunt perfidia ipsorum posteà minus potuisset excusari Because they freely made choice of this Religion their profidiousness afte ward would be the less excusable This same also was the practise of their pious Kings in after ages as in Asa his daies Chro. 15.13.14 25. the people with him entred into a Govenant to seek the Lord which they seconded and back't with an Oath whereat they greatly rejoyced After him Josiah made a solemn Covenant with the Lord to walk after the Lord 2 Chr. 34.31.32 and he caused all the people that were present to stand to it And as thus before so did they after the captivity of Babylon In Nehemiahs time Neh. 9.38 they made a sure Covenant and wrote it and the Princes Levites and Priests sealed unto it Wo'ph in loc Illis hac obligatio frani vice erat quo contineri in officis possent c.
