Nehemiah3:14
Verſe 14. But the dung-gate repaired Malchiah the ſonne of Rechab] That is, of the noble family of the Rechabites. A Ruler he was, and yet diſdaineth not to repair the dung-gate: All Gods work is honourable. Angels are Gods executioners, as at Sodom. Magiſtrates and Miniſters muſt do their utmoſt by diſcipline and otherwiſe, to cauſe the falſe Prophets (that filth) and the unclean ſpirit to paſſe out of the Land, as by a dung-gate, Zech. 13.2. Every man muſt ſweep his own door, that we may have a clean ſtreet.
