The fifteenth Lecture,

That he might yet strike the greater terrour into them, he [Vers. 7] tels them, not that their enemie shall come; but that he is come forth, as a Lion hungry after his prey, to deuour them. p. 203.

And therefore it is high time for them now, vnlesse they [Vers. 8] meane indeed to perish, to humble themselues: for otherwise, they haue not man, but God also an enemy against them. p. 204. 205.

Now lest the Prophet might be thought to affright them [Vers. 9] with bug-beares, he tels them that God his iudgements shall touch them to the quicke, when King, Princes, and Prophets, (who might thinke to be priuiledged) should stand astonished at it. p. 206. 207.

So as by the effects they should discerne, whether it had [Vers. 10] been better for them to haue beleeued Gods true Prophets, who alwayes told them the truth, than to trust in the flatte∣ries of the false prophets; which in the end, deceiue them that trust therein. p. 208. 209.

They must not thinke therefore that hee will correct them now, as in times past, for their amendment; but rather to [Vers. 11. 12] looke by some violent iudgements, to be swept from off the face of the earth. p. 210. 211.

Neither must they thinke God will be long in effecting it; [Vers. 13] though it may be, they must feele it, before they will beleeue it. p. 112. 113

Yet lest they might thinke their case vtterly desperate, God [Vers. 14]

offers them conditions of peace, vpon condition of their vnfai∣ned repentance. p. 212. 213.
