3. It appears, that Sins of Omission are highly provoking to God, by the execution of his Judgments on them that are guilty of them. His Works as well as his Word speak his great indignation against these sins. Saul lost his Kingdom, for not killing Agag and the ⟨p. 154⟩best of the Flock, Because thou hast rejected the Word of the Lord, the Lord hath also rejected thee from being King, saith Samuel to him, 1 Sam. 15.23, 26, 28. Ahab omitted to kill Benhadad, and lost his life for it, 1 King. 20.42. Because thou hast let go a man out of thy hand, whom I appointed to utter destruction, thy life shall go for his life. Eli was a good man, and as much in Gods Favour, but by not reproving his Sons, he so far incurred Gods anger, that he lost his two wicked Fondlings in a day, and the Priest-hood for ever, 1 Sam. 3.12, 13, &c. Moses was God's special Friend and Favourite: And the Lord spake to Moses face to face, as a man speaketh to his Friend, Exod. 33.11. And the Lord said to Moses, thou hast found grace in my sight, and I know thee by Name.
