Sixthly, Paral. 6 Elijah was a man of a very tender spirit: tender of the glory of God. I have been very jealous for the Lord of Hosts. Tender of his Saints and servants, and ordinances; so he continueth his complaint. The children of Israel have forsaken thy Covenant, 1destroyed thine altars, and slain thy Prophets with the sword: his soul bled within him, over the precious things and servants of God; though he had his own life for a prey, I only am left; this could not satisfy his zealous spirit.
