1. By keeping out a great deal of sin, which oftentimes, when they are gone, breaks in as a Flood, and brings ruin with it. Eminent upon this ••ore was Jehoiadah, 2 Chro. 24. Where it is observed how he kept things right, and Religion ⟨p. 152⟩up. Vers. 2: Joash did that which was right in the sight of the Lord all the days of Jehojadah, but when he was once dead, and scarce cold in his Grave, all went down again, the Temple was neglected, Idolatry restored, vers. 17. 18.

[…] the said he would destroy them; had […] his chosen stood before him in the breach, to turn away his wrath. But when such are taken away, it often falls out that there is none left to intercede, and so way is made to their ruin.
