8. Conspiracy, and joint consent of all sorts in all manner of sins. hThis City (saith the Lord of Jerusalem) hath been to me a provocation of mine anger, and of my fury, &c. Because of all the evil which they have done to provoke me to anger, they, their Kings, their Princes, their Priests, and their ⟨p. 77⟩Prophets, and the men of Judah, and inhabitants of Jerusalem. And in another Prophet to like purpose thus saith the Lord, iI sought for a man among them that should make up the hedge, and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I should not destroy it: but I found none. Therefore have I poured out mine indignation upon them, I have consumed them with the fire of my wrath. kThe integrity of some (though but a few among many wicked) is a means to with-hold the wrath of him who will not slay the righteous with the wicked. But when there is none to stand in the gap, how should his wrath be stayed?
