That which I would now direct my speech, and your ⟨p. 25⟩attention to, is the strangeness of this complaint; agrotat Israel. Others to have been sick, not so rare. It had been no wonder in Egypt, Ammon, Edom, Babylon, Israel hath the best means for health, therefore the more inexcusable her sickness. They should have been so mannered, as they were manured; and brought forth grapes according to their dressing: Sidon shall judge Chorazin; Nineveh Jerusalem; In Sidon where was no Prophet, was less wickedness: in Nineveh, where less prophesying, greater repentance. This conviction was demonstrated in many particulars. The praise of the Centurion, is the shame of Israel. The mercy of the Samaritan, the Priests and Levites condemnation. The very dogs licking Lazarus fores, confute the stony bowels of Dives. The returning of the strange Leper, with a song of thanksgiving in his mouth, was an exprobration to all the nine; when Christ had the tithe of a person, he least expected.
