3. Yea further,1 God may not only afflict them in an extraordinary manner, but even strike them with sudden death, and that while their sins are upon them. I will not instance in Ananias and Sapphira, nor in Nadab and Abihu, though some have thought charitably of them; we have a clear instance in Uzzah wherein Gods anger was so apparent, by striking him suddenly dead, that ⟨p. 78⟩the thing is said to displease David, 2 Sam. 6.7. The anger of God was kindled against Uzzah, and he smote him for his error. His error was not, because he was not a Levite, for its plain he was, but because they put the Ark upon a new cart, whereas they should have carried it upon their shoulders; although its thought the carrying of the Ark was limited only to the Levites that were the sons of Kohath, and that no other Levite might touch the Ark, which if so, then it was a second offence against the Law, because he touched it; and indeed this seemeth to be the proper cause, because it was a personal fault of Uzzah, whereas the putting of it on a new cart, was the error of others besides him.
