It is true indeed, the heads and governors of places are usually most involved in the guilt of the sins of nations, and their judgements are usually most dreadful when God cometh with national judgements. As Num. 35. 3. 4. The Text saith there that Israel joined themselves to Baal▪ Peor, and the anger of the Lord was kindled against Israel, and the Lord said unto Moses, take all the heads of the people, and hang them up before the sun. The Lords anger was kindled against the people, but he bade Moses especially look to the heads, and take them and hang them up be••re the Lord, that the fierce anger of the Lord might be turned away from Israel.
It is true indeed, the heads and governours of places are usually most invelved in the guilt of the sins of nations, and their judgements are usually most dreadfull when God commeth with nationall judgements. As Num. 35. 3. 4. The Text saith there that Israel joyned themselves to Baal▪ Peor, and the anger of the Lord was kindled against Israel, and the Lord said unto Moses, take all the heads of the people, and hang them up before the sunne. The Lords anger was kindled against the people, but he bade Moses especially look to the heads, and take them and hang them up be••re the Lord, that the fierce anger of the Lord might be turned away from Israel.
Certainly execution of wrath upon great ones, upon such as have been heads in evil, is a Sacrifice exceeding well pleasing to God. But though God ay••e at them especially in national judgements, yet the multitude and private people must not think to escape, and that upon these grounds.
