Whithersoever they went out, the hand of the Lord was sore against them, as the 1Lord had said, and as the Lord had sworn unto them; so he punished them sore.

- 1Vers. 15.
We have heard of the first point of the four, in this second part of the 1chapter; namely, of the sin of the people. The next point followeth (as I said before,) of the punishment, with the which the Lord pursued them ⟨p. 124⟩for it, which was two fold: the first was, the anger of God conceived against them for it, the second the fruit of it. And that is set down here to be partly the spoiling them of their goods, and partly bondage to their enemies; and more generally, that Gods hand was against them, so that they were not able to stand before them; by means whereof they were in anguish and straits, not knowing what to do. Behold how their estate was changed, yea and that so soon, after they turned away from the Lord: even so shall all find it. But come we to the particulars.
