Reader! what a melancholy relation, for the most part, is the history of Israel under their kings. The outline of it is little more than that such an one began to reign at such a period, that he reigned so long, and that he did evil in the sight of the Lord, as his father had done before him. And is this the general history of man? How precious ought Christ to be, who came to do away sin by the sacrifice of himself!
