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
