Fourthly, When others presence, counsel, and examples, have an influence upon them,1 O now they keep close duties! Joash did that which was right in the sight of the Lord all the days of Jehoiada the Priest; but when Jehoiada was dead, Joash serves Groves and Idols, and turns a deaf ear to those Prophets that testified against him, and gives Zechariah the Son of Jehoiada his Passport out of the World, for inveighing against his evil manners, and the wicked courses of his Princes and People. Whilst the good Judges lived, the Israelites kept close to the service of God, Judges 2.7. And the people served the Lord all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the Elders that outlived Joshua, who had seen all the great works of the Lord that he did for Israel. 2But when the good Judges were dead, the Israelites did what was right in their own eyes, every mans lust was his Law. Whilst Moses was present, there was no talking of a Golden Calf, but no sooner was his back turned, but the Israelites make a Golden Calf, and worship it when they had done, Exod. 32.1-9. &c.

Joash did that which was right in the sight of the Lord all the dayes of Jehoiada the Priest; but when Jehoiada was dead, Joash serves Groves and Idols, and turns a deaf ear to those Prophets that testified against him, and gives Zechariah the Son of Jehoiada his Pasport out of the World, for inveighing against his evil manners, and the wicked courses of his Princes and People. Whilest the good Judges lived, the Israelites kept close to the service of God, Judges 2.7. And the people served the Lord all the dayes of Joshua, and all the dayes of the Elders that outlived Joshuah, who had seen all the great works of the Lord that he did for Israel. 2
