A view of the threats and punishments recorded in the Scriptures, alphabetically composed with some briefe observations upon severall texts / by Zachary Bogan ...

Such as doe not Give it

If Parents, they are sometimes punished by God (of which see in the Chapter of Pa∣rents.) Sometimes by their children them∣selves. Thus was David punished by his son Adonijah: of whō is it said, that his father had not displeased him at any time, in saying, why hast thou done so? 1 Kings 1. 6. But he took a course to work him trouble enough, to re∣ward him for his gentlenesse: for hee sought to make himselfe King. ver. 5.

If they are God's Ministers; I know not what they may expect. Their case is bad e∣nough doubtlesse: as you may gather by the Prophet Isai's words (if the Latine translati∣on be right) Woe unto me, because* 1.1 I have held my peace, ch: 6. 5. Those who follow this translation, some of them interpret it, of the Prophet's not reproving King Ʋzziah so,

boldly as he should, for medling with the Priests office, 2 Chr. 26. 16. Others, because he did not see him putt out of the City, accor∣ding to the Law for the Lepers, Lev. 13. 46. But this last we have the lesse cause to su∣spect, for what is said in that chapter but now quoted, v. 21: viz. That he dwelt in a severall house.
