of David, and from the Houſe of God ; ye that dwell with Idolatrous Neighbours; it is not a few, but the generality of the Inhabitants, 'tis the whole Land I have an Attion againft. '£ No Faithfulneſs in their Minds, Words or Works; they cover Falſhood with fair Words, till they may fitly execute their defigned Frauds. There is neither plain-heartedneſs nor conſtancy in their Purpoſes and Words. þb Kind- neſs or gentleneſs of Mind, all are hardened, and reftrain their Bowels which ſhould be open*d toward the Indigent and Necefſitous. There is neither Compaſſion nor 'Beneficence among them, they pity not,nor relieve any. 7 All generally are Ignorant, know not what God hath done for them, or what God is in himſelf, or what Candor and Truth, or what Tenderneſs and Beneficerice he requires in his Word ; if they have a flight knowledge of thoſe things, yet they contider them not. They have raſed the Knowledge ot God out of their Minds, & This ſpeaks the univerſal Ignorance, Mercilelneſs and Unfaithfulneſs of that Age.

It is too particular to refer it to rhe Blood of Zech2riah {lain between the Porch and the Alter, and which-(ſome ſay).ran down to the Altar, and touch.d the Biood of the Sacrifice. Or what if this ſhould refer to what will be ere long, when Ferobozm is dead, when Zechariah is murder'd by Shallum, 2 Kings 15. 10. Menaven {lays Shalium, ver. 14. and ript up Women with Child in Tipſah, Ver. 16. when Pekab flew Pekabiah, and Zofpea flew him. Theie Kings being thus lain, no doubt much Blood was fpilt 3 all which happen'd in Iels than fortv Years. For from Zechariah to Vekab's Uſurparion are bur fourteen Years, trom Pekab's entrance on the Throne tov Hojhea s Con- {PIracy are twenty Years.
