To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Xv. 24. 19 was at that time supposed to require, — his first step ill apostasy was an intrusion on the sacri- ficial office'', as the last and greatest of his crimes was persecuting David, whom he well knew to bear God's special commission. God forbid, that any Christian land should ever, by her prevailing temper and policy, revive the memory and likeness of Saul, or incur a sen- tence of reprobation like his. But if such a thing should be, the crimes of that nation will probably begin in infri...ngement on Apostolical Rights ; she will end in persecuting the true Church ; and in the several stages of her melan- choly career, she will continually be led on from bad to worse by vain endeavours at ac- commodation and compromise with evil. Some- times toleration may be the word, as with Saul when he spared the Amalekites ; sometimes state security, as when he sought the life of David ; sometimes sympathy with popular feel- ing, as appears to have been the case, when violating solenni treaties, he attempted to exter- minate the remnant of the Gibeonites, in his zeal for the children of Israel and Judah'.
