to Ieroboam who was of Ephraim as others also doe Salomon Iarchi thus After he came up unto greatnes he sinned in idolatrie and he dyed the house of Ieroboam was cut off and likewise the house of Ahab As touching the Christian writers Mercerus expounds it thus The beginning of idolatrie in Israell was the worship of the Calues Mercerus brought into Israell out of Egypt where Ieroboam had lived an exile Hereupon there followed an other evill the worship of Baal the Sidonian idoll brought in by Iezabel Ahabs wife 1 King 16. What calamitie followed hereupon he sheweth † He dyed in one word See more in the historie The family of Ahab was cut off the land was afflicted with famine which was accompanied with the plague forreigne enemies c. And then againe applying it to Ieroboam After that he sinned by idolatrie for Baal is often the generall name of an idoll he dyed all his dignitie and beauty being lost The house of Ieroboam for the calues that he set up was destroyed according to the word of the Lord by the Prophet Zanchius thus As there is a threefold generation a Bodily when one is borne being conceived by the seed of man Zanchius a Spirituall when one of being the sonne of Adam is born anew by the boly Ghost to be the sonne of God and a Civil when one from low degree is advanced to some dignitie or is freed from hard servitude to happie liberty So there is a threefold death A Bodily when the soule is severed from the body a Spiritual when a man through sinne is bereft of the grace of God which is the life of the soule and a Civill when a man is deprived of his dignitie and power or kingdome or his happy estate Now by the name of death in this place comes properly to be understood the Civill death And that word He dyed respecteth two things both the present estate wherein Israell then was and their future estate now shortly to come When therefore he saith And he dyed shewing the other estate of Israell such as was at that present and such as should shortly follow after he teacheth that the kingdome of Israel for their idolatrie both was so far weakned as it wanted litle of utter ruine that shortly and certainely it should utterly be destroyed Calvin thus After that they sinned in Baal they dyed to wit because God deprived the tribe of Ephraim of that power Calvin wherewith before he had adorned it so as they wanted litle of utter decay For although their kingdome was not yet fallen yet was it come euen to the utmost so as the Prophet might well say they were dead that did now so farre differ from their former estate But where he saith They sinned in Baal it is certaine that this was not the beginning of their idolatrie Ieroboam first made the calues afterward his successour sett up Baal and borrowed that superstition from their neighbours the Sidonians as is thought English notes And accordingly the notes of our English Bibles haue it thus The Ephraimites are not farre from destruction and haue lost their authority Drusius thus That people is sayd to dye which is utterly wasted and destroyed Amos 2 2. And Moab shall dye vvith tumult So in another Prophet † Haba 1 12. Thou art God from everlasting Drusius we shall not dye Others expound it he is dead in sinnes Which I doe lesse approue I had rather thus take it He is dead he hath received divers overthrowes and slaughters he is fallen into grievous calamities which afterward perpetuall exile followed And although corrections be instructions yet when he suffered those so many evils they did not profit him at all So thus I say They could not bring him to life againe Tremellius and Iunius thus He dyed That is he was accounted as dead being of no account Tremel Junius Piscator and of no power or might And Piscator thus He Dyed that is he lost his authoritie so as he did no more make the subjects to tremble as before It is a metaphoricall speach For as the Greek proverb saith The dead bites not Thus haue I set downe particularly the exposition of divers vvriters upon this place that so it might the better appear not onely how these men doe ground their assertions in so vvaightie matters as these are upon such understanding of the Scripture as both Ievv vvriters and Christians of the best are otherwise mynded therein but also that this Scripture being so understood as both Iewes Christians expound it there can no such opinion or conclusions be gathered from it as these men would hereby mainteyne as any may perceiue And that from their owne exposition such consequences vvill not follovv I haue shevved before And if neither from their ovvn nor others exposition hereof what a manner of proof then is this Which if they will not yet obserue in the case of Israell let them but consider it in their ovvne thus as followeth If one applying this Scripture unto them should say N.N. was a teaching Elder and ruled also in the church but when he offended by schisme and false doctrine he dyed that is he lost his dignitie and authoritie being by the Church put frō the ministration of the Teachers office which before he executed vvith good regard in the Church And that the rest of them are dead vvith him in like sort according to the place and estate vvhich they had in the church formerly c. Or If some should so apply this Scripture unto them as they doe to Israel thus vvhen they offended by despising and opposing the governors government of the church by contention confusion breaking avvay from the church offensiuely they dyed and so remayne unto this day dead in their sinnes If then another keeping their ovvne vvords should infer hereupon that therefore the baptisme and other ordinances of God which they in shevv reteyn cannot be unto them the signes and seales of forgiuenes of sinnes and of life eternall and therefore are in their use of them false and deceitfull as be also the ordinances of God as they call them that are reteyned among the beathens Would they now themselues yeeld either that the baptisme and other ordinances of God had among them are but reteyned in shew or that they cannot be unto them the signes and seales of forgiuenes of sinnes and of life eternall or that they are in their use of them false and deceitfull or that they be but as the ordinances reteyned among the heathens c. Or if they or their children should repent and returne to the Lord and his Church againe would they reject the baptisme they haue as false and deceitfull and get them another that might be unto them the signe seale of forgiuenes of sinnes Or vvould they still reteyne a false and deceitfull signe and such as is no better then the

But if it be said that their conversation to come made the difference in the judgment of God then surely that shal be made of no effect vvhich the Apostle spake before saying Not of works Rom. 9 11.

Touching generall Redemption VVHether Christ haue not by his death according to the counfess and decree of God redeemed onely the elect from their sinnes and from the vvrath of God due thereunto and not all and every one in the vvorld none excepted therefrom Esa 53 ch compared with Rom. 8 33 34. 1 Thes 1 10.

Because they that are redeemed from their sinnes by the death of Christ are also delivered from the wrath to come and in Christ are justified quickned and begotten again to a living hope by his resurrection from the dead to an inheritance incorruptible and undefiled and that fadeth not away being reserved in heauen for us 1 Thes 1.10 Rom. 8.33.34 and 4.25 vvith Esa 53 chap. and Ephes 2.5.6 1 Pet. 1.2.3.4 Which grace is peculiar onely to the elect and not to all in the vvorld whosoever As appeareth by the Scriptures here noted before in the generall Position and many other the like in the vvord of God 2. The Prophets teach us that the righteousnes which novv Christ hath brought in is an everlasting righteousnes vvhereas that vvhich Adam had at the first was quickly lost and foone gone Dan. 9.24 vvith Eccles 7.29 Psal 49.12.20 And the Apostles teach us that the Redemption which Christ hath obteyned for us by his death is an eternall Redemption Eternall I say not onely in respect of the typicall or temporall Redemption and reconciliation made by the Priests in Israell but also in regard of the fruit and benefit vvhereof the redeemed are in deed made partakers to eternall righteousnes and salvation by Iesus Christ Heb. 9.12 vvith ver 24 28. and Dan. 9.24 27.
