Notes

Disunity between North and South is likened to the "rebellious Jewish Nation" and its divided kingdom bringing the collapse of central government. "The family bonds are in danger of being sundered, and the Tribes threaten a division. Indeed, they threaten a revolution, which may carry rapine and destruction through all their borders ..." (p. 8).
