So the word is ufed(r Kirgs t 3 Z6. ) Where r f :ngat ver- the facred H ftory tells us ofa Prophet whowas'ent out upon a .born eranda- Meffage by the Lord unto feroboam,and though he faithfully per- aheriut, formed the Meffage, yet hearknirg to the eounfell of another au: ftedut crm Prophet, he was (lain b a Lion; Thtcs faith the Lord or as much to intcum.
