There shall be an union between Judah and Israel saith God. Here is a mercy,1 here is a wonderful work of the Lord. In that God doth I say make this so great a matter, this observation doth spring forth of the Text clearly, that many times between such as profess the same Religion, and seem not to differ much, and yet do differ, their oppositions are most bitter and irreconcilable, and requires a mighty work of God to bring them in and reconcile them.

It appears it was so between Judah and Israel. I will give you but one Text for it, 2 Chr. 28. 9. The Prophet Obed tells the children of Israel, when he came to reprove them after the slaughter committed by them upon the children of Judah, saith he, Ye have slain them in a rage that reacheth up to heaven. What a rage was this this? and yet thus the people of Israel were enraged against the people of Judah, their opposition was very bitter, yea, more bitter were they many times one against another, then they were against the Heathen, the Philistines, and Assyrians, and Egyptians that were round about them, they were nothing so bitter against them, as they were one against another.
