[…] Who hath not heard the story of E•, and of his sons. It is worthy to be re•mbred for ever. He had shrewd children, they feared not GOD, but brake his commandments, and offended the people. Their father heard of their doings, but took no care for it: he suffered them, and ⟨p. 68⟩let them alone, so long, that God grew displeased thereat, and called unto Samuel, and 1said, Behold I will do a thing in Israel, whereof whosoever shall hear, his two ears shall tingle. In that day I will raise up against Ely all things which I have spoken concerning his house: when I begin I will also make an end. And I have told him, that I will judge his house for ever, for the iniquity which he knoweth, because his sons ran into a slander and he stayed them not. And it came to pass shortly after, The Ark of God was taken by the Philistines, 2and the two sons of Ely, Hophni, and Phinehas died. And Ely also when he heard the report thereof, fell from his seat backward, and his neck was broken. Such shame and confusion came upon him. This was the hand and judgement of God, in sparing his children, he cast away his children and himself altogether.
