of_o all_o the_o people_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v cut_v off_o the_o head_n of_o all_o the_o people_n but_o the_o chief_a the_o great_a one_o that_o be_v next_o to_o moses_n take_v the_o head_n of_o

before_o the_o throne_n near_o about_o the_o throne_n nay_o his_o case_n be_v such_o the_o wicked_a in_o the_o bosom_n of_o the_o throne_n in_o the_o lap_n of_o it_o they_o do_v draw_v aside_o this_o well_o meaning_n pious_a and_o wise_a of_o all_o king_n 1_o king_n 11.1_o there_o we_o read_v that_o his_o strange_a idolatrous_a wife_n draw_v he_o aside_o from_o the_o right_a worship_n contrary_a to_o his_o intention_n and_o contrary_a to_o all_o those_o prayer_n therefore_o to_o prevent_v this_o mischief_n it_o seem_v that_o asa_n 2_o chron._n 15.16_o take_v away_o maacah_n his_o mother_n from_o be_v queen_n because_o she_o have_v make_v a_o idol_n in_o a_o grove_n will_v you_o have_v another_o example_n how_o wicked_a one_o before_o the_o king_n be_v in_o danger_n of_o seduce_v of_o a_o prince_n though_o he_o be_v a_o pious_a and_o well_o mean_v prince_n even_o from_o the_o truth_n of_o religion_n look_v upon_o joash_n lively_o be_v that_o example_n 2_o chron._n 24._o there_o i_o read_v that_o joash_n be_v a_o prince_n that_o be_v orthodox_n and_o so_o continue_v during_o the_o time_n of_o jehojadah_n the_o lord_n protector_n but_o jehojada_n be_v full_a of_o day_n and_o he_o

jehojada_n be_v in_o his_o grave_n the_o prince_n come_v and_o make_v obeisance_n to_o the_o king_n and_o he_o hearken_v to_o their_o voice_n and_o they_o leave_v the_o god_n of_o their_o father_n and_o worship_v grove_n these_o idolatrous_a courtier_n though_o they_o lurk_v in_o the_o court_n all_o that_o while_n and_o dare_v not_o show_v their_o head_n for_o their_o head_n as_o long_o as_o pious_a jehojada_n be_v alive_a do_v when_o he_o be_v go_v take_v this_o speak_v out_o of_o the_o wheel_n and_o all_o crack_n so_o we_o see_v a_o double_a proof_n when_o jehojada_n be_v about_o the_o king_n as_o atlas_n he_o bear_v up_o religion_n but_o when_o he_o be_v go_v the_o wicked_a prevail_v with_o the_o king_n 2_o chron._n 24.17_o 18._o i_o note_v these_o three_o circumstance_n on_o the_o word_n first_o the_o time_n after_o jehojada_n he_o have_v make_v a_o covenant_n before_o in_o the_o time_n of_o joash_n the_o kingdom_n have_v make_v a_o protestation_n just_o such_o as_o we_o that_o we_o have_v late_o make_v 2_o chron._n 23.16_o jehojada_n make_v a_o covenant_n between_o he_o and_o all_o the_o people_n and_o between_o the_o king_n that_o they_o shall_v be_v the_o lord_n people_n therefore_o they_o dare_v not_o show_v their_o head_n to_o seduce_v the_o king_n when_o jehojada_n be_v alive_a because_o he_o be_v the_o chief_a stickler_n in_o the_o protestation_n that_o be_v the_o time_n they_o watch_v when_o jehojada_n be_v go_v as_o now_o a_o day_n wicked_a counsellor_n labour_n to_o remove_v the_o godly_a from_o about_o the_o king_n take_v away_o jebojada_n and_o then_o they_o have_v their_o opportunity_n second_o the_o person_n the_o noble_n the_o grandee_n but_o idolatrous_a noble_n corrupt_a in_o religion_n it_o seem_v they_o go_v to_o church_n before_o they_o discover_v not_o themselves_o in_o jehojada_n day_n they_o take_v the_o protestation_n therefore_o they_o be_v church_n papist_n church_n idolater_n conformable_a in_o jehojada_n time_n so_o much_o the_o worse_o these_o be_v the_o man_n that_o when_o they_o have_v stay_v and_o live_v so_o long_o conformable_a when_o that_o good_a man_n that_o be_v the_o king_n support_n be_v take_v away_o they_o seduce_v he_o three_o mark_v the_o manner_n and_o mean_n to_o bring_v about_o the_o project_n obeisance_n they_o come_v and_o do_v obeisance_n by_o insinuation_n and_o flattery_n they_o adore_v his_o sacred_a majesty_n and_o ascribe_v more_o perchance_o than_o he_o expect_v and_o more_o than_o be_v fit_a to_o be_v ascribe_v to_o a_o man_n by_o this_o you_o see_v my_o first_o instance_n confirm_v the_o danger_n and_o mischief_n of_o the_o wicked_a before_o the_o king_n in_o respect_n of_o seduce_v and_o flattery_n you_o see_v i_o have_v prove_v it_o by_o the_o wise_a king_n that_o ever_o live_v and_o by_o king_n joash_n a_o man_n in_o who_o day_n they_o have_v make_v a_o covenant_n against_o idolatry_n yet_o the_o wisdom_n in_o the_o one_o and_o the_o covenant_n in_o the_o othet_n when_o good_a counselor_n be_v take_v away_o and_o a_o hedge_n of_o evil_a counselor_n surround_v they_o be_v not_o able_a to_o stand_v against_o the_o stream_n second_o for_o pervert_v a_o prince_n from_o justice_n judgement_n and_o law_n for_o still_o i_o be_o upon_o the_o point_n of_o seduce_v by_o flattery_n first_o from_o the_o truth_n of_o religion_n and_o then_o from_o justice_n and_o judgement_n take_v a_o instance_n or_o two_o there_o thus_o doeg_n seduce_v saul_n against_o the_o lord_n priest_n though_o he_o bear_v they_o a_o little_a good_a will_n before_o see_v what_o a_o mischievous_a edomite_n may_v do_v with_o a_o king_n he_o be_v a_o edomite_n one_o of_o another_o nation_n and_o of_o another_o religion_n but_o it_o seem_v the_o king_n have_v admit_v he_o to_o his_o
