VERS. 7. So the children of Israel did wickedly in the fight of the Lord, and forgot the Lord their God, and served Baalim and Asheroth. 8. Therefore the wrath of the Lord was kindled against Israel; and he sold them into the hand of Cushan rishathaim King of Aram-nabaraim, and the children of Israel served Cushan-rishathaim eight years. 9. And when the children of Israel cried unto the Lord, the Lord stirred up a saviour to the children of Israel, and he saved them, even Othniel the son of Kenaz Calebs younger brother. 10. And the spirit of the Lord came upon him, and he judged Israel, and went out to war; and the Lord delivered Cushan rishathaim King of Aram into his hand, and his hand prevailed against Cushan-rishathaim. 11. So the land had rest forty years, and Othniel the son of Kenaz died.

Now I having showed how God tried his by people dwelling among the idolatrous nations, what they would do, and we having seen also what they did, to wit, that they made marriages with them, and served their gods, both which have bin set down in the first part of this chapter: I will now proceed to the second part, and come to the three examples therein set down by the holy Ghost; and herein I will speak chiefly of these things therein, to wit, of the sin, punishment, repentance and deliverance of the people, and how they turned away again from the Lord afterwards. The first example is to the twelfth verse: the second to the 31. verse: the third, to the end. The first hath these four things to be considered; one is the peoples revolting from God, in this verse: another, the punishment brought upon them for it in the eighth verse: the third, the peoples crying to God under it, vers. 9: and the fourth, the Lords sending help in the rest, unto the 12. verse; with the fruit that followed.
