God had a great stroke in the division of these ten Tribes from the two, 1. Kings 1•. 23, 24. The word of the Lord came to Shemaiah the man of God, saying, Return every man to hits house, for this thing is from the Lord. In the sense of the Prophet there, we may say that our Divisions are from the Lord. We are wrangling, devising, plotting, working one against another, minding nothing but to get the day one of another: but God is working out ends above our reach, for his glory and the good of his Saints.1 There must be Heresies, says the Apostle, I Cor. 11. 19. So there must be Divisions.
