3. Nothing more evident then that David was punished according to the rule of that mixed and fatherly justice, which keeps a due proportion between the sin, and the punishment: his sin was to cut off Uriahs house out of Israel, God sendeth the sword against his house all his days, he took another mans wife secretly, and did commit filthiness with her, the Lord took his wives before the Sun, and gave them to Absalom, who defiled his bed: Here's justice ⟨p. 35⟩(though I grant mixed with mercy) sword for sword, bed for bed, 2 Sam. 12. Eli honoured his sons more then God, suffered them to profane Priesthood and Sacrifices; justice rooted out his sons from Priesthood and Sacrifices: Hezekiah out of his pride showed all his Treasures, and all that was in his house to the King of Babylons Messengers; and justice measured out the like to him, all that was in his house, and all his treasures were carried away as a spoil to Babylon.
