Briefly the whole Scripture is full of such testimonies of Kings and reproaches of Prophets and Priests. And if we come to the proof hereof by experience, who were the greatest adversaries of the true Prophets, Jer. 26.7. who conspired against God, profaned the Law, covered and maintained the sins and iniquities of Princes? Ezekiel saith they were the Prophets & Priests, Ezec. 22.25.26.28. Now let us take an account of the Priests which built, and how many pullers down and destroyers shall we find for one builder? In a word, by whom was the corner stone rejected? By them which are called builders, not that they were such but they should have bin, Psal. 118.22. Matth. 21.42. Who interdicted the Apostles the preaching of the gospel, opposing themselves directly against God? Act. 4.5. and 5.21. In sum the spouse speaketh here of wicked husband-men of the vineyard, who after they had killed the servants of the Lord, in the end slew the heir also.
