Hosea10:3
3 For now they shall say We have no king , because we feared not the LORD: what then should a king do to us ?
Surely.
Ere long.
See, and feel, and be convinced too of this Truth.
E[illegible: 1 letter]ther no King at all, as in an interregnum, or no such king as we expected, and hoped; our dependance was much upon the wise, valiant, and successful Conduct of our King; but he is either less wise, and valiant, or less successful in his Enterprises.
Worshipt not, kept not his Law, depended not on God, therefore we have no King, or one next to none, not able to help us.
And now if we had our King, were he as powerful, wise, and successful as Ieroboam the second; yet 'twould be too late, the Assyrian power hath so far prevailed, and God is so far departed from us: Kings are not able to save without the God of Kings.
