§. 1. Of the Resolution of the whole Historie.
THE history of the Israelites in the wilderness is a visible representation of Gods governing his Church in this world. The Apostle therefore having culled out sundry choice instances, maketh this inference upon them, These things were our examples. 1And this, These things happened to them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come. Wherefore, as other histories of holy Scripture, so these especially, are to be read and heard, not as mere records of ancient times, but as presidents wherein we may learn what God expects of us, and what we may expect of him.
