When God (I say) hath an intent to bring a business about; for this was, that he might fulfil what was threatened to Solomon for his former sin.

And then Thirdly, If men when they have been helped to 1go on through difficulties, yet if they shall afterwards rest in their parts, rest in their strength so as to forsake God, and sin against him, it's just with God to leave them that they shall vanish and come to nothing: He did exalt himself and prevailed in what he spake, notwithstanding the trembling of the People, for having got himself warm in the nest, and strong in his Kingdom, then he lifts up himself in another manner, and forsakes God, and trusts in his own strength, And now he dies, now God casts him off.
