3. Observ. The Lord punisheth by degrees.

At this time Nebuchadnezzer onely caried away part of the holy vessells, and some few, Daniel with other persons, but afterward he tooke Iechonias the king himselfe, and caried him into captiuitie; and last of all he put out Zedekiahs eyes, burnt the Temple, and made hauocke of the citie, and remooued the most of the inhabitants into captiuitie. Thus the Lord proceedeth by degrees, to see if he can draw the people by his smaller corrections to repentance, till he powre out the whole viole of his wrath at once vpon them, Osiand. This manner of the Lords proceeding in his iudgements by degrees is well expressed, Levit. 26. v. 18. 21. 24. how the Lord still punisheth his people seauen times more, that is, with more grieuous iudgements when they doe not profit by the former.
