Vers. 5.

And the Lord God of hostes shall touch the land, and it shall melt away, and all that dwell therein shall mourne, and it shall rise vp wholly like a flood, and shall be drowned as by the flood of Egypt.

* 1.1THe confirmation of the conclusion by the euent or issue and falling out of things afterward. For God shall manifestly ap∣peare angry & offended by the effects that shall follow, with these Israelites. And these effects are three. The first, There shall bee so great a smiting or affliction of this land,* 1.2 that euen the very earth it selfe, which is a brute and dull or dead element shall tremble and shake, feeling this curse and anger of God against it. In which fearefull maner God powred forth his vengeance and tokens of his worthily incensed furie vpon the land of the Egyptians, at what time he deliuered his owne people thence, the horriblenes where∣of is at large described Psal. 114. ver. 3, 4, 7, 8. after this manner: The Sea saw it and fled: Iordan was turned back. The mountains lea∣ped like rams, & the little hils as lambs? The earth trembled at the pre∣sence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Iacob, which turneth the rock into water pools,* 1.3 & the flint into a fountain of water. The second, The great and common or vniuersall mourning of the men or in∣habitants themselues, the which sheweth that this punishment is sent of God, and shall bee generall, and exceeding great. For all shall mourne, none being excepted, no not the stoutest hearts, or the most mighty, vnto the which the miseries of the common sorte doe not easily and vsually reach. The third is, The wastnes and deformity of the land it selfe after the driuing out of all the in∣habitants,* 1.4 as if the whole land were couered and drowned with waters, and so consequently vntilled and desolate or lying waste like a wildernesse. Read chap. 8. before ver. 8.
