Even so fareth it with all such which regard not the word of their salvation, because they have ears and hear not, nor will understand with their harts, the fury of the Lord shall be kindled against them. The Prophet saith in the name of God to Israel, 1I have sent unto them all my servants the Prophets, yet would they not hear me, nor incline their ear.2 And, Behold, I sow my law in you, that it may bring forth fruit in you. But our fathers which received the law, kept it not: neither observed thine ordinances, neither did the fruit of thy law appear.

I will cause a plague to come upon this people, even the fruit of their own imaginations: because they have not taken heed unto my words, nor to my law, but cast it off.

The Prophet saith in the name of God to Israell, 1I haue sent vnto them al my seruants the Prophets, yet would they not heare mee, nor encline their eare.2 And, Behold, I sowe my law in you, that it may bring foorth fruit in you. But our fathers which receiued the lawe, kept it not: neither obserued thine ordinaunces, neyther did the fruite of thy lawe appeare. For they that receyued it perished, bicause they kepte not the thing that was sowen in them. Samuell telleth Saul:
