Inveterate hatred is hardly satisfied. It endeth not with a mans life, but is oft propagated to posterity. Amalek received it from his grand-father Esau and propagated it to his posterity. The forementioned instances give abundant proof hereof. The like may be exemplified in the other branch of ⟨p. 186⟩Esau's posterity, the Edomites; and in the Ishmaelites and Hagarens, the of spring of Hagar, Abraham's concubine: ¹and in the Moabites and Ammonites, the progeny of Lot. The Prophets are full of expostulations and exclamations against all these, for their bitter hatred against Israel, manifested by all the occasions that they could take of doing any mischief unto them. Though there was a nearer propinquity betwixt all these and the Jews, then betwixt them and other nations, yet their hatred was more against the Jews then against any other nation; so as they were ready to join with others against the Jews, and when by others the Jews had been overthrown and captivated, they would insult. How implacable and insatiable was the hatred of the Priests, Scribes, Pharisees, and other Jews against Christ and his Apostles? To omit the many instances that for proof hereof might be gathered out of the histories of the Evangelists, of the Acts of the Apostles, St. Paul beareth this witness against them, They killed the Lord Jesus, and ²their own Prophets, and have persecuted us, &c. Ecclesiastical histories give instances of like hatred and malice of others in succeeding ages. And we in our age have found woeful experience of as much in the hatred of Papists and others against us.
