But Secondly, In a morning: that is, Early, betimes; so in Jer. 21. 12. O house of David, thus saith the Lord, Execute Judgment in the Morning. So the King of Israel shall be early cut off; And indeed this King of Israel he was early cut off, he did not reign above eight or nine years at most. God doth take some in the morning of their time, in their youth, when their day is but as it were dawning, he takes some sinners sooner than others: In the morning he shall be cut off.

But Thirdly,1 In the morning, which comes yet nearer and more full to the sense and the scope of the Spirit of God here; that is, even when the light comes, when they have hopes of further good, then he shall be cut off. And so you shall find if you read the story in the book of Kings, at this time when Hoshea was to be cut off, that it was when he had entered into League with the King of EGYPT, and now Hoshea thought a morning would arise, and he should have a brave day, and live many merry days now; and when he thought the light began to come, in a morning doth God come to cut him off.
