The Second is this, That men of resolute spirits will go on, 1even in the matters of Religion, though it be from the better to the worse, yet you shall have some men whose spirits are resolute that they will go on. Oh! but you will say, The People will not bear nor endure it. Yea, but they will venture to go on with their way and design, though it be from the better to the worse; but now, if the change be from the worse to the better, than it's a special gift of God to give men hearts to go on, notwithstanding difficulties.
- 1Obs. 2.
And then in the Third place, He exalted himself, though 1there were trembling: That is, He did prevail in this his way, in this change of Religion, Jeroboam did not carry things by open violence presently, it was a great while first, but he carried things on by fair shows, one thing after another, and so he prevailed with the People. This is the way to get a design, and not by open violence at present.
