A history human Affairs, showing the eg act'purpose of God in 'regard tweach• ruler who has occupied a; throne, and3he exact' objeotiWhich God designed hina to accomplish: by placing him on the throne at the time when He did, would be a far more important and valuable history than any which has been Written.

(1. Car. xi. 31. 32.)

But when we understandthat they were "telbe his serer ventathat they * might learn , God's' seryice,." and by this means to correct .their wicked-, ness, that ",they might not be condemned" with the wicked; the whole thing is 'plain. We do not reed' that the wicked Egyptians were disciplined this severe+manner..

" every one that hath this hope, purifieth himself even as he is pure. ". (Colos. iii. 4;' 1, John' ill. 3.) There. then, 'arises a neeeisitY forr - a process of purification to ,which the wicked are never. subjected. The Wicked are subjected to judgment, not to chastening; they are cut off in' their" sins, net corrected and preserved: , It is alio' said, the wicked are God's sword: "They are the sword but thehand is'thine.
