* 1.1ANother, or the second answer of Amos vnto Amasias, wherein he threatneth vnto him most grieuous punishment for that his rashnes in staying and letting (so far as in him was) the course and will of the word of God: that hereby all malapart and saucie per∣sons against God, or his Prophets may vnderstand, that whilest, so much as in them lieth, they doe stop and hinder the truth of God, it is so farre off, that hereby they shal bring any thing to passe or doe any good, that they shall win and bring vpon themselues most mi∣serable desrection.

In Zedekiah, that seeking to saue his life by another course, then that which was taught him by the Prophet Ieremie, cap. 38. ver. 17.18. is taken by Nebuchadnezzar, and vsed most cruellie, cap. 39. ver. 7.

He promised securitie or safetie vnto Amos if hee would holde his peace, or run away▪ God pronounceth most grieuous punishments both priuat and al∣so publike vnto this Amasias, that could not patiently abide and suffer Amos prophesying.
